According to Wikipedia,
North drums are horn shaped drums that were designed to project their sound outward, so the audience can hear the most direct qualities of the drum.
Some History
Their inventor, Roger North, created the drums sometime around 1968, played them himself, and then in 1970 obtained a patent (3,603,194) and began selling the drums to others in about 1972. The original North drums were made of fiberglass, by hand. Sometime around 1976 North agreed to let another company, Music Technology Incorporated (MTI), manufacture and market the drums hopefully in larger numbers. MTI began to market and produce the drums using an injection-molded polystyrene process.
They stopped selling the drums in the early 1980s and now there is a used market for the drums, and a small though loyal contingent of North Drum players. Chad Channing was known for using North drums in the early years of Nirvana.
