Beautiful addition to our ensemble

We use this in our folk group, and it blends perfectly with other traditional instruments. The lyrics included helped us learn the traditional chants associated with the rhythm. Excellent value for money.

Great drum, whip needs breaking in

The drum itself is flawless with excellent tension on the skin. The included rattan whip was a bit stiff initially but softened up after a few uses. The lyric booklet is a nice touch for learning the rhythms.

Exceeded my expectations

The attention to detail on the black cowhide and the wooden frame is exceptional. It arrived well-packaged and ready to play. The double row of reeds creates a complex sound profile that single-reed drums lack.

Solid instrument with rich history

As a collector of percussion instruments, this Ershen drum is a standout piece. The tuning is stable, and the handheld design makes it easy to maneuver while dancing. Only minor issue was the smell of new leather, which faded quickly.

Authentic sound and beautiful craftsmanship

The cowhide is thick and produces a deep, resonant tone. The double reeds add a perfect rattling texture that cuts through the mix during performances. Highly recommended for traditional music enthusiasts.

Perfect for cultural demonstrations

I bought this for our local cultural center. The Zhentang design looks stunning under stage lights, and the sound projection is impressive even in large halls. Very durable construction.

5 FAQ

Q: Can the rattan whip be replaced if it wears out?

A: Yes, the rattan whip is a consumable accessory. We sell replacement whips separately, or you can source standard rattan whips of similar thickness from most musical supply stores.

Q: Is the cowhide pre-tuned or do I need to adjust it myself?

A: The drum arrives pre-tuned and ready to play. The tension is set at the factory for optimal sound, though minor adjustments can be made over time as the skin settles.

Q: How heavy is the drum for extended handheld performance?

A: The drum weighs approximately 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs), designed to be lightweight enough for extended dance performances while maintaining structural integrity for powerful strikes.

Q: Does the lyric booklet contain English translations?

A: The booklet primarily features the original traditional lyrics with phonetic guides. Some editions include basic English translations, but the focus is on the rhythmic syllables used during performance.

Q: Is this suitable for outdoor performances in humid weather?

A: While the cowhide is treated for durability, extreme humidity can affect the tension and sound. We recommend storing it in a dry case when not in use and allowing it to acclimate before outdoor shows.
