This 14x12 field rope drum is a handcrafted reproduction inspired by British military and colonial drums from the Victorian era. Built with a wooden shell, gut snares, and traditionally mounted calfskin heads, it delivers a crisp yet warm tone true to 19th-century standards.

The rope-tension design ensures authentic function and aesthetic, while the compact size makes it ideal for reenactments, ceremonial use, or collectors.

Every detail reflects the craftsmanship of the time, making this drum a striking blend of musicality and heritage.
