Book excerpt: Gourd Drum Engineering is mostly about building percussion instruments using gourds, but hopefully it will be more than that. The best thing that could happen, after taking a look at the projects presented in the book, is for the reader to be inspired to create their own instruments. In Gourd Drum Engineering, McIntosh and Newmiller give background information on gourds and percussion instruments before describing fourteen gourd percussion projects. Well-known instruments such as the basic hand drum and the traditional talking drum are presented, as well as some new designs for gourd instruments. Profusely illustrated with detailed instructions, this gourd percussion construction manual will appeal to novice and experienced builder alike.
