A drum made of fiberglass and Titebond(TM) would be even duller, becuause Titebond(TM) is PVA based (Polyvinylacetate ) and never dries truly hard. Modern chewing gum is also PVA. Epoxy dries harder, is a better sound conductor and more moisture resistant. Also, Titebond, especially Titebond II, stains yellow pretty badly, especially on spruce.
