The manufacturing of TAMdrum instruments is a unique and sustainable process 🌍 that begins with the recycling ♻️ of old, disused gas cylinders. These cylinders are collected and subjected to a cleaning and dismantling process. The first step involves completely emptying the cylinders and removing any gas residue, ensuring a safe working environment👨🏻‍🔧. Then, the cylinders are cut and shaped with specialized tools to give them the basic drum shape 🥁. This creative recycling not only gives new life to a material that would otherwise be considered waste, but also adds a unique story to each instrument.

Once cleaned and polished, the future TAMdrums go through a meticulous tuning process 🎶. With saws 🪚, I cut the tongues, which will vibrate when struck. Each note is carefully adjusted, and with the help of a chromatic tuner, I can ensure exceptional tonal quality. Finally, protective finishes are applied that not only beautify the instrument 🎨, but also protect it against corrosion. Each TAMdrum is a work of art, not only for its relaxing and harmonious sound, but also for its commitment to sustainability and the creative reuse of materials. 🙏🏻
