N. O. FRENCH QUARTER MAMBO DRUM

Here's an unusual antique/collectible - a drum made from a nail keg and decorated to suit the street drummer's taste. The unusual musical instrument was used by a street musician in New Orleans' French Quarter for years by a musician reportedly named "Taylor." On the leather top Taylor has scribbled pencil notes to remind him of the proper beats for different numbers.

Buying drums online needs a lot of time cos we can't see the product and so we need to know the materials of it and when we have it we won't regret it!!

It's made from an old nail keg with a leather (I think) skin. Very crude.
