Small Bass Drum at eBay Auction
By Don Teach 

The bass drum on E-bay is not a nickelodeon bass drum (at least, one
I have ever seen).  Often old drums and banjos had electric light bulbs
in them to stabilize the calf skin heads.  Some early Gibson banjos had
a little door on the back just for the light bulb.
