Abstract
A drum producing a wooden tom-tom sound free of any disharmony including reinforcement rings made of wood, plastic, etc. and fastened to both ends of the shell and batter heads stretched over these reinforcement rings with no parts for holding the batter heads projecting beyond the batter heads level, thus making a conventional rim shot impossible but a stick-playing method or edge shot in which the batter head and the reinforcement ring are simultaneously struck with a stick possible.
