What’s the best skin thickness?
For the best resonance we recommend thin skins for small and medium sized frames, and Medium skins for the large & XL frames.
Cut the skin to the desired size, and cut strips from the remaining skin to secure the disc to the frame and create the handle in the traditional method.
We may include some extra hide strips with your larger skin for this purpose.
If you prefer using rope rather than hide try our 2.5mm options here.
For best results, we recommend the following lengths:
Small – 14m
Medium – 15m
Large – 17m
XL – 19m
The Frame Drum is one of the oldest known musical instruments; it is reputed by some to be the first skin drum to exist. They are used across the world on all kinds of ceremonies and other occasions.
Dimensions:
Small: 30cm x 6cm | Medium : 42cm x 6cm | Large : 50cm x 7cm | XL: 60cm x 8cm

The difference in pitch (note) between the sizes: As a rule – the larger the drum, the larger the bass resonance. If you’re looking for a deep and rich bass note then go for the Large or (even better) the XL. The XL especially, has a bass note that you will feel right through your body.
