Abstract:
A musical drum comprising a drum shell made of wood staves is provided. The drum shell has cutout sections which are positioned so as to achieve desired acoustical properties for the drum. The cutout portions of the drum shell can also be filled with other materials to further modify the acoustical properties of the drum and lighting can be provided in the interior of the drum allowing light to be passed through the cutout portions of the shell. The light passing through the cutout portions of the drum can be excited by the conditions of play.
