Solid purchase

Very happy with this drum. It arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. The mallets included are decent, though I eventually upgraded to heavier ones for outdoor performances.

Beautiful craftsmanship

The attention to detail on the dragon painting is amazing. It looks like a piece of art even when not being played. The sound is powerful and clear without any unwanted overtones.

Perfect for our cultural festival

We purchased this for our annual dragon boat festival, and it was the star of the show. The 36-inch size offers immense presence, and the dragon artwork is stunning in person.

Great drum, heavy weight

The sound is fantastic and very authentic. Just be aware that due to the solid wood construction, it is quite heavy. You will definitely need the carrying strap or two people to move it.

Professional Grade Instrument

As a percussion instructor, I am very picky about instruments. The tension rods hold tune well, and the hide responds perfectly to different striking techniques. Highly recommended.

Incredible Sound Quality

This war drum exceeds all expectations. The cowhide head provides a deep, thunderous sound that carries beautifully across large venues. The craftsmanship on the wooden body is exquisite.

5 FAQ

Q: Can this be used outdoors in the rain?

A: While the drum is durable, we do not recommend exposing the natural cowhide to direct rain or extreme moisture for prolonged periods as it can affect the pitch and tension. Please use a cover if playing outdoors.

Q: What is the total weight of the drum?

A: The 36-inch Model 118 weighs approximately 25 lbs (11.3 kg) due to its solid wooden construction and thick hardware, ensuring stability during vigorous playing.

Q: What type of wood is used for the body?

A: The body is constructed from high-density hardwood, specifically selected for its durability and ability to enhance low-frequency resonance. The exact species varies by batch but is always a premium tonewood.

Q: Is the cowhide real or synthetic?

A: This model features a genuine top-grade cowhide head, which provides the authentic, warm tone traditional to war drums. It is not synthetic.

Q: Does this drum come pre-tuned?

A: Yes, the Mashi Chuanqi Model 118 arrives pre-tuned and ready to play. However, like all natural hide drums, you may need minor adjustments based on your local humidity and temperature.
