Louis Katz,
When your drum maker glues on the drum head, is it glued to a
glazed or unglazed surface.
Do you think it matters?

David,
My drum maker told me specifically to leave about 1" unglazed on the top
of a drum b/c it helps the glue stick better to the rougher surface.

The two I can picture well were runny matte ash glazes so I called the maker and
he says, " they do seem to stick better to matte glazes, but i have some shiney
drums and it works there also, when they do pop off it is only after much use.
His big three foot doom-beck that he made in a class here still has its head on
it and is a blast to play.
