M.U.D.s

M.U.D.s                  Multiple Use Drums

M.u.d.s are drums that serve a multiple purpose. One side of the drum has a wood head while the other side has a conventional drum head. The conventional drum head side acts as a resonator for the wood side head giving the drum a full rich sound. In most cases the drum can be used as a hand drum as well as the conventional use.
  ​Please !!!! refer to the maintenance page to see how to take care of  this percussion instrument.  

All M.U.D.s are custom made and are priced after the design is  agreed upon.

I have this set. I got it used without cymbols and gear when a music store in New Jersey went out of business...
I set it up different ways for different sounds....
I love it!... great workmanship and sound.
