Elevate your drumming experience with our super thick calf skin, designed for the tightest pull possible! Perfect for solo djembes or dununs, this high-quality skin ensures your drum sounds its best.
What Is It?
This premium calf skin (or thin cowhide) is chemically depilated and offers a thickness range of 0.5 to 1.5 mm, making it ideal for reheading large heavy djembes or dununs. With a diameter of 54 to 56 cm, it’s perfectly suited for drums with a diameter of 30 to 40 cm.
When Do You Use It?
Use this skin when you want to achieve optimal tension and sound quality for your djembe. It’s particularly effective for solo performances, ensuring a crisp and clear tone.
Features:
- Ideal for repairing large and strong djembes and dunun drums, including dunun, sangban, and kenkenis.
- Much thicker than goat skins, providing a powerful high tone that resonates deeply, making them perfect for experienced players and builders who seek exceptional sound quality.
- Pre-cut to size, punched, and threaded with rope for making the drum head - saving you time and effort in your drum-making process.
- Due to their thickness, they can be more challenging to pull onto the drum, so they’re best suited for those with intermediate or advanced skills in drum building.
- While they may have minor imperfections like small cuts or scars, these do not affect the quality or performance of the skin.
- Super thick skin for maximum tension and durability
- Diameter: 54 to 56 cm (approximately 21.3" to 22")
- Thickness: 0.6 to 1.4 mm
