The next step is to round the bearing edge of the drum so there is a nice
rounded corner for the drumhead to rest against. This also makes drumming more
comfortable on the hands. I do this with a 3/8” round over bit in my router.
If you don’t a router you can do this with a Sander and a lot of work… here
is the result.
Notice that the router has burned the wood a bit. This, along with any rough
places that the process created, will need to be sanded off. Now I route the
inside edge of the bottom of the drum. This is purely for the sake of beauty. It
serves no functional purpose, but I think it makes the drum look professionally
made.
Here is what that looks like…
Again, any burn marks will need to be sanded down, and the edge will need to
be sanded smooth.
