Drum Trash As a drummer, sustainable entrepreneur and instrument inventor, I am forever finding uses for items often thrown away. Reuse Drumheads: Cut strips from snare side head (thinner) for mounting snare wires. Also the snare side is in better shape as it isn't hit. Utilize the aluminum rings from old drumheads for flesh rings on hand drums (cut off mylar and smooth any sharp edges). Use as parts trays in workshop. Give away to less fortunate drummers if not too damaged - drummers change out their heads regularly and their "used" heads are in better condition than a beginning drummer's. In an upcoming post I describe how my extra parts and pieces helped to implement the Drum it Forward program to repair some school instruments. ~~~ Follow Dave: on Amazon Subscribe to: Brummet Media YouTube Channel ~~~
