Abstract:
A drum apparatus with advanced acoustic response is provided. The drum apparatus includes a drum body having a side wall defining a resonant chamber. The side wall can include a plurality of coupling structures disposed about its circumference; e.g., as adapted for engaging a drum head across an open end of the drum body, in acoustic communication with the resonant chamber. The drum body side wall and coupling structures can be formed of a substantially continuous material defining an integral structure of the drum body.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 11 , further comprising one or more of:\n disposing a plurality of mechanical inserts in the tension lug bodies, the mechanical inserts adapted to engage with a plurality of tension rods to couple the drum head across the open end of the drum shell; inserting a plurality of mechanical inserts into longitudinal channels defined along the tension lug bodies and seating the mechanical inserts therein, wherein the mechanical inserts are disposed in rotationally fixed engagement within the respective tension lug bodies; coupling a plurality of tension rods in threaded engagement with the tension lug bodies, the tension rods adapted to couple a hoop to the drum body in compressive engagement with the drum head disposed across the open end of the drum shell.
