More Details
About the Shell
Carved from Ironwood or “Gele” (Prosopis Africana), one of the densest of all West African hardwoods. Distinct dark red (almost black) hues with often wavey grain patterns. Produces bright resonant sounds (like Khadi) and is suited to solo drums.
About the Hide
Thick skins are rich and warm and once settled they have a very melodic quality. Cow skins are typically a lot thicker than goat, offering rich melodics. Suited to experienced players with tougher hands and well developed technique. We take care to find the best hide for the shell to maximise its dynamic range.
Comes complete with a Drum Care and Tuning Guide to help you get the most play out of your drum.
