The "Marcus Magic Mute" system sounds very interesting and I will try it the next time I have a similar problem. I will probably use wire instead of the cord...
Beverly - how would a third ring effect ringing in the head? It's off the playing surface, and unless it is just that it might allow you to pull the head...
Beverly and All, Would you be so kind as to let me know where there is information about the Marcus Magic Mute? I've been trying to mute a Remo FibreSkyn head...

I have been trying without much success to buy some good djembe rope. I bought some "high quality" rope, but it turned out to be that really thin black rope...
I favor 4 mm rope from New England Ropes, which you can get through Shorty Palmer. I use a bunch of it, and it has the least stretch. Go to goatskins.com, or...
Shorty Palmer (just Google the name) has good non-stretch rope at reasonable prices. I don't know that he has a color selection; but I do know that you'll pay...

hi John and all my recommendation on a talking drum is to convert it to rings, makes it a lot easier, also i think thin cowhide will work well or goat shorty ...
Marcus Magic Mute, would not we all want a general device to turn off and on when we need something muted? Your coined phrase will indeed stick with me. ...
Well, Robert, you have to ask yourself if color is THAT important to you to place its status over price and quality. I have dealt with Shorty for over 8...
Hello I always reheaded or made my talking drums with goat skin. Cow hide even from a young animal is too thick. Traditionally they are often reheaded with ...
Hi all as for rope, the standard that I have seen for size is 3/16 which is about 5mm. Rope that is low stretch is made from Dacron (polyester, one and the...
