Description
English: Published in Popular Science on the number of december 1921, page 71. Related text is:
It is seven feet high and four feet from drumhead to drumhead. It is wheeled along on a little carrier during parade. When mounted on this the top is nine feet from the ground. The tone is deep and rather subdued, but it has a wonderful volume and resonant power that make this drum able to balance the most strenuous of a 125-piece brass band.
The world largest drum was not constructed without difficulty. It took several months to find two bull hides large enough for the heads, which are one hundred inches in diameter. Such heads put a great strain on the shell, which required special re-enforcing and a novel type of screw-rod manipulators for varying the tension of the heads. After the instrument was completed, it was found that the doors of the ordinary baggage-car are not large enough to admit it, and a special car will be necessary when the band goes on tour.
