Excellent teaching tool

As a music instructor, I needed something authentic yet affordable for group lessons. These flat drums are ideal. The 6-inch size offers a great balance between portability and sound projection.

Great quality for traditional performance

Used this for a local cultural group performing 'Three Sentences and a Half'. The tone is very crisp and traditional. I deducted one star only because the sticks included were a bit light, but the drum itself is excellent.

Beautiful craftsmanship

The wood finish is smooth and the hide is tightly stretched. It arrived well-packaged. My dance students love using these during our rhythmic movement lessons.

Exactly as described

Bought this specifically for the ritual instrument requirement in our theater production. It fits the bill perfectly. The flat design makes it easy to hold while acting.

Good value

Solid construction and nice sound. It takes a little breaking in to get the best tone, which is normal for real hide drums. Very happy with the purchase for our community center.

Perfect for my kindergarten music class

I bought the 5-inch version for my early childhood education program. The size is perfect for small hands, and the sound is loud enough to be heard but not ear-piercing. The cowhide feels durable and authentic.

5 FAQ

Q: How do I maintain the cowhide head in humid weather?

A: In high humidity, the skin may loosen slightly. You can gently warm the drumhead near a mild heat source (like a lamp, not direct fire) to tighten it back up. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Q: Is this suitable for the 'Three Sentences and a Half' storytelling performance?

A: Yes, this flat Tanggu drum is specifically designed and frequently used for 'Three Sentences and a Half' performances due to its distinct sharp tone and handheld convenience.

Q: Is the drumhead made of synthetic material or real leather?

A: The drumhead is made from genuine cowhide to ensure an authentic traditional sound and feel.

Q: Can the 5-inch drum be used by adults or is it strictly for children?

A: While the 5-inch size is popular for children, adults can certainly use it for specific high-pitched rhythmic patterns or if they prefer a smaller, lighter instrument for travel.

Q: Does this come with a carrying case?

A: No, the drum comes with a pair of wooden sticks, but a carrying case is not included. We recommend purchasing a separate padded bag for protection during transport.
