There is provided a drum head assembly. The drum head assembly has an
outer member and an inner member. The outer member has an L-shaped step
on its inside surface with posts extending outward from the base of the
step. The depth of the inside edge of the outer member determines the
amount of tension on the head. A die cut head or skin with holes punched
to match the posts is inserted into the outer member. The inner member
with holes that match the posts in the outer member is pressed onto the
underside of the outer member. The pressure forces the inner member into
the inside edge of the L-shaped inside surface of the outer member. There
is also provided a method in which the die cut head or skin gets pulled
at the same time, thus creating tension. While the assembly is still
under pressure, a heated mandrel melts the post ends onto the inner
member, thus holding the three components of the assembly in place.
