Exceeded expectations

We use this for outdoor festivals. The volume is impressive without needing amplification. The tension rods allow for easy tuning depending on the weather humidity.

Great sound, heavy but sturdy

This is a serious instrument. It is heavier than expected, which speaks to the quality of the wood, but the strap helps. The tone is deep and commanding.

Perfect for our Dragon Boat team

The sound projection on this 16-inch drum is incredible. It cuts through the noise of the water and keeps our paddlers in perfect sync. The cowhide feels durable and the paintwork is stunning.

Beautiful craftsmanship

I bought this for a cultural performance group. The lion head design is intricate and vibrant. It arrived well-packaged and ready to play right out of the box.

Authentic war drum feel

As a percussion instructor, I appreciate the authentic build quality. The cowhide head provides a warm, traditional sound that synthetic heads just cannot match.

Stunning visual centerpiece

Not only does it sound great, but it looks amazing on stage. The gold details catch the light beautifully. Took one star off because the sticks included were a bit light for my taste.

5 FAQ

A: Absolutely, both the 14-inch and 16-inch models feature the identical Nan Shi Awakening Lion Head hand-painted design.

Q: Can this drum be mounted on a standard stand?

Q: Is the drumhead replaceable if it wears out over time?

A: Yes, the cowhide head is secured with tension rods and can be replaced by a professional drum technician or experienced user.

Q: How do I maintain the cowhide in humid conditions?
