Drums come in many varieties. There were bodhráns that had been bathed in Guinness; there were tunable and non-tunable bodhráns, egg-shaped bodhráns, those that played like rubber boots, those patched with duct tape, some very well-made drums, and a few not so well made.
Despite all the variations, when in the hands of the Irish player, each version became a magical, musical instrument.
After many years building drums and playing bodhrán, Dave has become a master drum maker and skilled at creating drums to suit any drummer's taste in use and playing. Each Davey Drum is one-of-a-kind, built by a unique process that evolves with each drum created. This process is still going on and I am sure the Davey Drum of today won't be exactly as the Davey Drum in five years.
