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.
