The Marching Bands - Northern Ireland

Stretching the goat skin head on a traditional lambeg drum in Northern Ireland. The Lambegs are different from other large drums in the quality of their tone. The thin heads are pulled tighter and tighter until the tone is bright and hard. There are no mechanical screws on the drums. The heads are held on with a wooden rim and linen ropes. (2)
