For a couple of years I have been re-working BubbaTaiko #1, 2, and 3 in order to resolve issues with the hardware and head tensioning. After the last re-build of BubbaTaiko #2 I am finally ready to proceed with new drums. Pictured here are BubbTaiko #1, 2, and 3 along with shells for #4, 5 & 6. The second photo is BubbTaiko #4 in process, with the shell, the tension ring, and the rawhide for the head. I endeavor to approach each step with contemplative mindfulness to dedicate this drum to the healing of our community and with thanks for the sacrifices of the hide, wood, and metal for its construction.
