What is "the old straw in the drum head > trick"? check: http://www.iaxs.net/~rparker/hypocrisy.ogg The drum has one head with a hole in it. The straw runs through the hole and protrudes into the drum shell where you grip it with a damp rag and stroke the straw in a manly motion. :) I don't recall how the straw is secured to the drum head or if it even is. It probably is though because the sound is generated by the friction of the rag dragging on the straw. In hypocrisy the drum shell is metal. ron > -- > > Paul Winkler > http://www.slinkp.com > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? All your favorites on one personal page ?
