Drums, along with other percussion instruments were probably among the
earliest instruments. Percussion from drums, tabors and timbrels is one of
the most distinctive features of medieval and renaissance music.
Drums have evolved slowly throughout the ages and one change that can
clearly be seen is the different method of tensioning the skins between
medieval and Renaissance drums.
The medieval drum is rope tensioned directly onto thick goat skin heads
and has a single snare on the beaten head, whilst the Renaissance drum
applies the rope tensioning through counter hoops which spread the forces
enabling the use of thinner calf skin heads. The easier vibration of the
thinner heads allows a triple snare to be used on the non-beaten head.
The renaissance long drum was developed for
military use in the 15th Century from earlier medieval drums. Usually played
by boys -considered too young to fight- these drums were used during battles
as a means of signalling to soldiers where the main body of the army was
fighting. The drum has a wooden shell with calf or goat skin drum heads at
either end. Unlike modern military drums, which use screw tensioners, the
skins on the renaissance long drum are tensioned (made slacker or tighter)
by rope slides which pull the wooden hoops at each end towards each other
and thus stretch the skins over the body of the drum.
