Whiskey Barrel Drum Machines

The Jack Daniels Drum is Made of a Former Whiskey Barrel

— January 14, 2013 — Art & Design
This Jack Daniels drum is an interesting carpentry project where a few handymen/musicians took a full size Jack Daniels whiskey barrel, cut it down to size and morphed it into a snare drum.

The video demonstrating the making of the Jack Daniels drum is fittingly narrated by constant drumming. There is no instruction or oral commentary, simply sharp, well-shot visuals, wood work and drumming.

First, they take apart the Jack Daniels whiskey barrel piece by piece until it collapses completely. They then take the long, slim wooden sheets which make up the barrel and cut them down. They attach them all together into the shake of a drum and sand it down. Next they add all the drum elements, cut out the wood burned brand logo and voila, the Jack Daniels drum is complete.
