If you're a samba player, you'll come across broken tamborims fairly regularly. Unfortunantely there aren't many instructions on how to mend them again, so they end up piled up on the side... until now.

You'll need:
Broken tam
New tam skin
Adjustable wrench
Lubricant
Hints:
Adjustable wrenches are useful things to have - it saves having to have lots of different drum keys of different sizes.
Lubricant - I've used WD-40 (in a handy stick form), but KY Jelly and beeswax also works really well. Pick something that won't damage the skin.
New tam skins are available from good music instrument stores. Makes include Contemporanea, RMV and Gope

One more thing - if you're not sure what size skin a tam is, they're normally 6 inches (but get a tape measure and check)

Nice Instructable! I love Samba! These things are really surprisingly loud. I remember playing one for the first time :)
