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.

About Disc Sizes
A 12″ disc is suitable for a 12″ djembe; the diameter of the hide itself will be slightly larger than 12″ to allow room for skinning.

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 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.
