Can anyone tell me if there is a supplier in either Vancouver or Vancouver Island that supplies dragon boat drums, new or used, that will fit either a Millenium or BUK dragon boat? Apparently the ones used on the 6/16's are too wide.
Any info would be much appreciated.

Keun Way Martial Arts Supplies in Vancouver can order a drum of just about any size for you.  Typically the larger boats use 22 or 24 inch drums whilst the smaller boats use a 18 or 20 inch "lion dance" drums.  Lion dance drums are different than traditional "dragon boat" drums, nobody in western Canada use traditional dragon boat drums which are tall and narrow as opposed to lion dance drums which ht & width are approx. equal.

Are there any IDBF requirements for the shape, size and weight of the drum?

I only found this:
A drum in a traditional Chinese style attached to the DECK above the GUNWALES at the front of the BOAT and intended to be beaten by a DRUMMER during racing.
