I was wondering if anyone has made their own drum/bongo at the Build-A-Drum tent in centeroo. I'm hoping to actually make one this year and was wondering if anyone knew the cost. Any help would be appreciated! THANKS!!!

Oh wow, I don't think I came across that last year. I'd be interested, but I have a feeling I won't be able to lay down the money for a drum amongst all the other necessities that need to be purchased at 'roo.
At a much smaller fest it ran between 75 and 250. I thought I would do it but a hundred bucks was not really gonna get me anything nice. I think I would plan on dropping 150 plus at roo to get a nice one that will last you awhile.
Or - buy one before you go - I know it is not as fun as making on while you are there - but....it is cheaper - Guitar Center has them in a range of prices
Yeah, I know I could buy one from a store for much cheaper, but that takes out all the fun! I want to be able to paint my own, etc. And yes, people, there is one in centeroo!!!! It is located on the side near the fountain and This Tent if I remember correctly. I was guessing it would cost around $100-$150, depending on size. I'm really trying to save up for one this year. We shall see...

The more detail and such you apply to it, the greater the cost...I think mine was like 65 last year. I alos bought a rainstick. I recommend the rainstick!

I made this Drum when I went in 2007 for somewhere between $60-80. It's about 1.5 feet tall, with about a 8" diameter head. It's one of my favorite Roo souveneirs. I would highly recomend it, it was a great way to kill time (in the shade of a tent) between shows. It took me 30 minutes here and there for about 4 days, but I did everything myself died the head, burned the wood, and strung the head.
They had a pretty sweet setup you could paint your drum too, all the the supplies were provided so the sky was pretty much the limit.
You could also make a smaller drum with a stapled on head for like $25, but they were kinda cheap. Or you could make a full blown djembe, shave the skin for the head and all for something like $250.
