The present invention relates to a musician quality hand drum that may be produced
in a simplified and economical manner. The hand drum is simplified in that it utilizes
a ring interconnected within an open end of a simple tubular shell to allow a musical
quality drumhead (e.g., an animal skin drumhead) to be interconnected in tension
directly to the outside surface of the drum shell. In this regard, the need for
an intricate, expensive drumhead fixation means and/or drumhead tensioners is eliminated,
allowing for cost benefits to be realized.
