Getting the best sound from these instruments:
As complete acoustic bodies and resonating chambers, Ron Vaughn Log Drums are very sensitive to what they rest on when they are played. How the drum ‘rests’, or simply, what surface you put them on when playing them, makes an enormous difference in what you ultimately hear from the drums and how they ‘sing’.

And secondly are the mallets. If you mount these great drums on their intended FlexMounts and you use our intended mallets, you will hear these beautiful drums in their full, mellow, resonant voices.
Note: If greater volume is needed during performance, use electronic amplification to assist in increased volume. Avoid ‘over-playing’ the instrument’s natural voice.
Ron Vaughn Log Drums produce very rich, deep, mellow, robust tones when properly mounted for performance.
