Tenor Drum for Hire

A deep drum that is unsnared. Generally 16" in diameter, although sometimes larger and with a wooden shell, the tenor drum gives a deep and resonant drum sound that is akin to a large tom tom. Many composers have written for the tenor drum many times in combination with a snare drum.
