First, we will make the drum body, the biggest component of the drum. [[Explanation & Interaction]]

Next on, we are going to deal with the cowhide, the most important part of the drum but also has the most complicated procedure in terms of making drums. The second step is------scraping the cowhide! We have already drawn a proper area on the cowhide with a brush and cut down a piece of cowhide of the right size. After the knife is also sharpened, we can now use a short knife along with a long one to handle the cowhide. First, use the short knife to remove the short hairs, and then use the long knife to remove the fat layer under the skin. [[That sounds interesting|Step 3]]

This step may seem like the most fun in the drum-making process. We get to (text-color: #990000)[step] on the drum heads! The main purpose of drum stepping is to make the cowhide (text-color: #990000)[softer] in order to tense it once again. After the drum skin has been stepped on and then tensed, the drums are then rounded with (text-color: #990000)[special rulers] to capture the curvature of the circle more precisely. [[Such amazing craft|Step 5]]

The drum is almost ready for sell. There is just one last step for you—Test toning. This is the most important step in making any instrument! Test tone, adjust, test again, and adjust again until you are satisfied with the sound quality. The last mission for you is to hit the drum head until the correct sound of a drum comes out. [[Finish my apprenticeship|Finish]]

Aww, this step is way too hard to be done alone by an apprentice! Binding the cowhide needs (text-color: red)[cooperation]. We should ask the master for (text-color: red)[help] (click: ?page)[== [[<img src=https://i.imgur.com/fpqVP5X.jpg", "inv"|Cooperation]]

Good for you~ You get to be led by the well-experienced master and successfully binded the cowhide! You are ready to move on to the next step. (click: ?page)[== <img src=https://i.imgur.com/wSUff6f.jpg", "inv"> [[Successfully binded the cowhide|Step 4]]

The third step is binding the cowhide, which is the most important procedure.

There is a lot to learn about the thickness and dryness of the wood of the drum body~ (click: ?page)[== A long time ago, drum makers used to do manual drying by putting the drum body outside (text-color: red) [in the sun], and it took almost three to four years for the quality to stabilize. (click: ?page)[== <img src=https://i.imgur.com/RUDCrjX.jpg> Now, with the advancement of technology, special drying rooms have been developed, and drum bodies need to stay in the room for (text-color: red) [only one to two months.] (click: ?page)[== However, remember that the drum body cannot be used immediately after drying, it has to be kept in a cool place for about seven months before it can be put into the drum making. In addition, the drum body needs to be smoked for the final time to ensure that it will not be infested with parasites! Now, we have our first apprenticeship mission for you.

First, we will make the drum body, the biggest component of the drum. [[Explanation & Interaction]]

Next on, we are going to deal with the cowhide, the most important part of the drum but also has the most complicated procedure in terms of making drums. We have already (text-color: #990000)[drawn a proper area] on the cowhide with a brush and cut down a piece of cowhide of the right size. After the knife is also sharpened, we can now use a short knife along with a long one to handle the cowhide. First, use the short knife to (text-color: #990000)[remove the short hairs], and then use the long knife to (text-color: #990000)[remove the fat layer] under the skin. [[That sounds interesting|Step 3]]

The drum is almost ready for sell. There is just one last step for you —(text-color: red)[Test toning.] This is the most important step in making any instrument! Test tone, adjust, test again, and adjust again until you are satisfied with the sound quality. (click: ?page)[== [[Finish my apprenticeship|Finish]]

Good for you~ You get to be led by the well-experienced master and successfully binded the cowhide! You are ready to move on to the next step. (click: ?page)[== [[Successfully binded the cowhide|Step 4]]
