The present invention is directed to a laminated decorative wood drum shell with incorporated lugs having a smooth central cavity and the unique laminating process involved in the fabrication. A variety of hardwoods in varying colors and thickness will be use to construct the drum shell. Conventional threaded inserts will be inserted into the top and bottom of the lugs providing an attachment means for the top and bottom drum hoops or rims eliminating other attachment hardware while reducing the overall weight of the completed drum yet increasing both the structural integrity and durability, and enhancing the overall tonal quality of the drum. The top drumhead skin can be tightened separately from the bottom allowing for separate tuning of the heads.
