Remo Fiberskyn 3 Frame drum Pimped Out Tuvan / Siberian Shaman Style
I added a number of cords made of braided satin ribbon, I also suspended hand made 18mm brass leaf bells from the arm
the bells “clink gently when the drum is hit
this is an example of a Simple Way to dress Up your drum
what you used is up to you and should have Significance For You

re- certificate
“I can’t believe it….. We received it in the mail this morning!!!
The certificate looks great. Thank you for including the vows. We are very
happy with the way everything was conducted and really appreciate the
service you were able to provide us.
We got the official Marriage Certificate after lunch on the day we got
married. We went straight to the Subase and were able to get Ann an ID
Card. Our next stop was the Social Security office and Ann’s Social
Security Card should arrive within a week….. we are very happy and again
would like to thank you for all your help.
Sincerely,
Bill”
[ Foot note:this was a meet us the day of “Navy Special” Ceremony ]
This Past Weekend I had planned on attending the Society for Creative Anachronism Event outside Springfield Mass., Novice Schola but a weather “inconvenience” occurred.
Winter Storm Nemo- after digging out enough to get my vehicle out, I was deployed at our local Community Emergency Response Team Municipal Shelter.
I wound up being assigned the job of Shelter manager.
While we did not get the population of the full Red Cross Shelters in South Eastern Ct. we did also host the sub regional “War Room” of CL&P (one of the 2 big power companies)
The war room is where the supervisory team and team leaders coordinated the electricity restoration road crews.
We also hosted the “office space” for the Utilities liaison to the municipalities.
I returned home to find the snow waiting to be removed from the rest of my parking spaces (a project to work on before today’s rain starts)
Tuvan Style Frame Drum
I prefer a synthetic head for any drum I travel with, they are less prone to humidity problems and are much lower maintenance
the Remo Fiberskyn 3 drums have an interesting voice feature- in addition to their consistent, mellow almost bell like tone, they have a more subtle “back voice”
I have also found that having a suspension system on the frame drums allows the Vibration from the head to resonate throughout the entire drum without getting damped down by the hand holding the frame, which is desirable in a Shaman Style Drum
This particular suspension is a cross between the rigid suspension of a Bodhran and the cord/sinew suspensions common to Shaman Drums
I have found a wooden grip handle less tiring for longer periods of drumming with the added benefit of allowing more drum control
