Drum Trash

 

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.
