About Disc Sizes
A 12″ disc is suitable for a 12″ drum; the actual diameter of the hide itself will closer to 17″ to allow room for skinning.
A full hide will allow for a minimum  of two large 14″ drums up the spine, and small drums on the flanks

A quick guide to choosing the right skin:

  • Thinner skins tend to be more responsive. Their sounds are higher and brighter and easier on the hands
  • Medium skins are well balanced with warm tones and bright slaps
  • Thick skins are very rich and warm sounding. They take longer to play in, but once settled they have a very melodic quality

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. Check out our skins warranty here, and scroll down to “Skins purchased from African Drumming.
