The Renowned Duplex Drums.
The "Patent Duplex Drum," by proper straining of the heads, will permit to be used with equal success on the street (where it is a rattler) as
m the concert room, where the greatest softness may be required, and the great advantage lies in ease and rapidity by which heads on the drum can
be replaced and put on straight without the necessity of taking the drum apart. This drum is used and h'ghly recommended by all the principal
professional artists in the United States and Canada. The Duplex is too well known to need any further recommendation.
