[FWDLK] Fwd: Re: [FWDLK] Fwd: [FWDLK] The spring on a drum



I have seen a thick wide rubber band type of deal on some old drums also, so think of a bell and putting you hands on it while it is being rung... BONNNNG  and  thummmmp

I have been told 2 things by old timers. One was that it is a silencer, so the drum dosen't have a noise when stopping, the second was for balance. Don't know if it was used to hold a weight but I doubt that. -J- (soon to be finless)

Can anyone tell me what purpose the spring (that wraps around the back part)
of a brake drum serves?
My understanding was that it was for silencing purposes, but I've no idea how that would work.
