Authentic Foshan Quality
As someone who has played drums for twenty years, I can tell this is the real deal. The wood resonance combined with the top-grain hide creates a powerful projection that fills the hall.

Impressive size and presence
This is a large instrument, so make sure you have space! The sound is booming and authoritative. Only giving 4 stars because the carrying strap could be slightly more padded for long marches.

Great sound, needs breaking in
Excellent drum overall. The sound was a bit tight out of the box, but after a week of practice sessions, the hide loosened up perfectly to that traditional war drum tone. Highly recommend.

Sturdy and Loud
Used this for an outdoor festival parade. It held up well against the humidity and the volume was exactly what we needed to lead the procession. The rope tuning system is easy to adjust.

Beautiful craftsmanship
The attention to detail on the rim and the hide stretching is impressive. It looks stunning on stage under the lights. The white cowhide contrasts beautifully with the black lacquer.

Perfect for our Lion Dance Troupe
We purchased this for our community lion dance group and the sound quality is incredible. The bass is deep enough to be heard over the cymbals, and the cowhide feels very durable. Shipping from Foshan was faster than expected.
Q: Is the cowhide treated to withstand rain during outdoor parades?
A: Yes, the top-grain cowhide is treated for general outdoor use. However, we recommend covering the drum or bringing it indoors during heavy downpours to preserve the longevity of the skin and wood.
Q: What is the exact weight of the large size drum?
A: The large model (approx. 60cm diameter) typically weighs between 6.5 kg and 7.5 kg (14-16 lbs), depending on the specific density of the hardwood shell used in that batch.
Q: Does this drum come pre-tuned or do I need to tune it myself?
A: The drum arrives with a standard factory tension suitable for storage. You will need to adjust the rope tension slightly upon arrival to achieve your preferred pitch and tone for performance.
Q: Are the drumsticks included made of hickory or bamboo?
A: The included pair of drumsticks are crafted from dense hardwood similar to hickory, designed specifically to produce the sharp attack required for Lion Dance rhythms without damaging the hide.
Q: Can I replace the drumhead if it wears out after years of use?
A: Absolutely. The drum is designed with a traditional replaceable head system. You can purchase replacement cowhide skins separately, though professional restringing is recommended for best results.
