Lizzie Drums

Welcome to Lizzie Drums!

Lizzie Drums are hand crafted Gourd Drums using select hard shell gourds. These hand drums are designed to be fully tunable and to provide years of service for both the experienced percussionist and the novice.  For anyone desiring a quality Gourd Drum for use as a Hand Drum, a Lizzie Drum would make an excellent choice.

Lizzie Drums are individually crafted from Calabash gourds. Calabash gourds are also known as giant hard shelled gourds. The gourds used in Lizzie Drums come from a variety of sources from Southern California. After cleaning both inside and out, the gourds are lined on the inside with a coating of Fiberglass Resin. Selected gourds are reinforced with Fiberglass cloth when required. The resin is added both to strengthen the gourds and to improve resonance. The heads on the drums can be hairy goat skins, naked goat skins, or fish skins. The tuning of this hand drum is the traditional Mali Djembe weave. Drums headed with the thicker hairy skins can be played with a soft, padded, mallet in addition to bare hands. A Gourd Drum with either a naked goat skin or a fish skin head should only be played skin-on-skin with bare hands.
