[@MrDsturman]

He seemed very respectful of their culture. I like that he talked about the great skill involved making and tuning the drums.

Im currently making one of these the old fashioned way, and this is the only video I’ve been able to find that really gets into the process

Parry Hotter and the Stoned Philosopher how’d it come out?

[@parryhotterandthestonedphi5019]

@@danielforsythe1012 kinda shitty tbh, I didnt really get any tone out of it. My hammer job was a bit too rough.

No law banning the "tamboo bamboo" was passed during World War 2. The drum was banned during the 19th. century, and it was replaced by bamboo, which was used until it was discarded in 1939.

Wow! That was great. Thanks.

This is so cool!

[@vegansaxon3962]

This is so cool!...takes a lot of skill to make one...I was thinking of just getting a steel drum to set up and beat on during thunder storms..that's the only time I could play it outside and not cause my neighbors to band together and form a lynch mob.

Great Video ! I am not shure but in 2.56 I see young boys in the background and I thing maybe one from this boys are Mister Felix Rohner , ha ha ha lol !

[@Mandakinimusic]

+Michael Regelmann NAh...I dont think its Felix. Cmon this was shot in 1956....Felix is what? 60/65? Simply cant be! :)

[@michaelhandpan9675]

+Mandakini I was born in 1958 and I think Felix is older than me. Perhaps his Spirit was in Trinidad before he was born ! Maybe I am wrong , but I feel he is a Trinidad Man.

[@DanielWaples]

+Michael Regelmann Legend has it Felix was not well received in Trinidad.... ;)
