Thats going to be fun. I need to dust off our little kit and get it set up for the kids Christmas visit. They were very loud for a few years and annoying at times. Now we look forward to having them rattle the windows from time to time. I keep thinking about building a whole small kit. I would most likely use staves. It would be fun to get several drums from one tree.
