Ron Swank is the original creator of the thunder gourd - and the one teaching your class!
He grew up in Argentina, and while in college he attended a class called Intro to Native American Flutes and started making flutes out of sunflower stocks. He later came upon what is called the thunder tube and wondered if he could make one with a gourd. The rest is history.
What's A Thunder Gourd?
A thunder gourd is a gourd with the bottom cut off so a drum head and spring can be attached. When the spring wiggles, it vibrates the drum head, which in turn creates sound waves inside the gourd. The gourd amplifies the waves and releases them through other holes in the gourd which sounds like thunder.
