Clock got any examples? Thanks John Maw and Uncle John.. I have been wanting to build one for ages and it has taken me a while to find the right drum, old and very thick skinned, but sound sweet...maybe should have tried nylon strings on it?

Oh yah! That's a fun looking one!

You could probably rip into some North African style stuff with that...

Good sounding instrument (particularly good for an hours work). Song is well performed too.

Sounds great. Good job on Betty. But no bug or mask content?
