More Details
Our hair off skins are “washed” with a salted solution which removes 100% of the hair but does not change the constitution of the skin. Perfect for people wanting a hassle free and fast solution to re-skinning. They are slightly pre-stretched and require less cranking to get them to playing pitch.
Tip for drum makers – get the rings down low on the wet pull, as they will not drop much after drying and cranking.
A quick guide to choosing the right skin:
Thinner skins tend to be more responsive. Their sounds are higher and brighter. They are easier on the hands and more suited to new players
Medium skins are well balanced with warm tones and bright slaps
Thick skins are very rich and warm sounding. They take a little longer to play in, but once settled they have a very melodic quality
Dimensions
As these are natural products sizes vary slightly
Standard….. 70cm x 60cm (One X large 15″ or one medium and one small drum)
X Large…… 86cm x 60cm (Two medium 12″ drums)
We always take extra care in choosing skins that are free from faults and will go the distance on your drum.
Please understand however that as a natural product from the wild, we can never pick up 100% of the inherent defects as they can be invisible to the naked eye.
