We've been producing drums in Dunedin for over 20 years. Here David is tuning up a wooden Dunumba.
Drums in the making! This delivery of PVC tubing is ready to be transformed into tambourines and children drums. Once measured, these tunes are cut into 240 individual drum shells.
Kate finds my overalls in various opshops. So I go under a range of first names, depending on the laundry cycles...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

St Clair surf school.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You need the wetsuit down here, the water's is a bit nippy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Good surf though, and right in the city : bus every 20 min, directly to the surf! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Children drums come in a full set from a lower to a high pitch sound. Yes, ideally you need the 3! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Dunedin Harbour Mouth Molars from Regan Gentry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Controversy and public art usually go hand-in-hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I spent enough time at the dental school to be grateful that the New Zealand School of Dentistry is in Dunedin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Marine cord from Nautilus Braids in Christchurch. 1600 pieces a year to rope the drums I make for schools. "Expertly" burnt on both ends.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ouch! I go through a few lighters... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

These orange guys replaced the green Lime Dunedin started with. Not sure how popular they are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the morning, I see more lying on the footpaths than in action.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

With Auckland in lockdown, I had no other choice than to visit Otago/Southland two years earlier than planned. Songbong is now clearly feeling the hard effects of Covid on small businesses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Kate makes drumhead light protective covers. These can be quite handy in a classroom. They can be used as a signal that drumming time is over for now! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I am sure this happens because I use my French Opinel knife in a way I am not supposed to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I go through a couple of knives per year @opinelofficiel⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
