May 15 - Drum

Life is about rhythm.  We vibrate, our hearts our pumping blood, we are a rhythm machine.  That's what we are.
~ Mickey Hart

The second of the bonus video for the Balloon Blast Show Rubber Band is a drum.

The drum starts out the same way as the banjo. On my second build I once again accidentally made the drum portion a little bigger, but this time I used a 350 outer ring and it looks much better filling that area and gives a nice tight fit so that both sides of the drum look good.

This drum is designed to be the standing/marching band style, and Sam includes details on how attach the shoulders straps, but I figured they would just get in the way of the pictures.

The only real "upgrade" to the second version is that it's a cleaner second build using gold instead of yellow and I tried a different stick style.

	Upgrade!
I gotta have more cowbell!
