Beautiful craftsmanship
I bought this for a meditation studio. The unfinished wood allows us to customize the stain later, but even in its natural state, the grain is gorgeous. The sound is powerful yet controlled.

Solid traditional instrument
Good value for a hand-made instrument. The finish is rough as described (unfinished), which is great for purists. It took a day to acclimate to the humidity here before the tone settled perfectly.

Perfect for our temple ceremonies
The resonance of this drum is exactly what we needed for our weekly rituals. The cowhide is thick and the toon wood body produces a very warm, deep tone that fills the hall without being harsh.

Exceeded expectations
As a collector of traditional instruments, I am impressed by the attention to detail. The tension on the drumhead is perfect right out of the box. Highly recommended for serious practitioners.

Authentic and powerful
We use this in our cultural performance group. The projection is incredible, and the yellow cowhide gives it a distinct timbre compared to synthetic heads. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Great sound, heavy weight
The acoustic quality is superb and authentic. Just be aware that because it is solid toon wood and real hide, it is quite heavy. Make sure you have a sturdy stand for it.
Q: Does this drum come with a stand or carrying case?
A: This listing is for the drum only. Stands and carrying cases are sold separately to allow you to choose the specific height and style that fits your space.
Q: Can the unfinished wood be stained or varnished by the customer?
A: Yes, absolutely. The drum is left unfinished specifically so customers can apply their own stain, lacquer, or oil to match their decor or temple aesthetics.
Q: How do I maintain the tension of the drumhead over time?
A: The drum features traditional ring pulls. If the hide loosens due to humidity changes, you can gently tap around the rings to retighten. Avoid exposing it to extreme direct heat or moisture.
Q: What are the approximate dimensions of this big drum?
A: The diameter is approximately 60cm (23.6 inches) and the depth is about 15cm (5.9 inches). Please note slight variations may occur due to the handmade nature of the product.
Q: Is the cowhide treated with any chemicals that might affect sensitivity?
A: The hide is processed using traditional methods to ensure durability and sound quality without harsh chemical treatments that would dampen the natural resonance.
