Tiki #173 Tahitian tall Leg Tiki Drum (Drum #14)

This one started out as a prototype for barstool and it didn't quite work, so I hollowed out the seat and turned it into this drum:

I found a great piece of goat head for it:

It's actually a piece grade "B" hide, but I think it works much better than the "A" grade stuff. The b pieces come all natural looking and are moldy and discolored. They feel and sound better too..

The feet were reinforced with wood dowels so they will not snap off
