The Marching Bands - Northern Ireland

A traditional Lambeg drum workshop. 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)
