Authentic tone for Dragon Boat practice

We bought this for our community dragon boat team. The rhythm is clear and loud enough to coordinate paddlers on the water. Highly recommended for serious groups.

Exceeded expectations

I was worried about ordering a musical instrument online, but this arrived perfectly packaged. The sound is powerful and projects well in large halls.

Great drum, heavy shipping

The drum itself is beautiful and sounds authentic. Only giving 4 stars because it was quite heavy to carry up the stairs, but that speaks to the solid construction.

Perfect for our Lion Dance troupe

The sound quality is incredible. It cuts through the noise of cymbals and gongs perfectly. The cowhide feels durable and the tuning holds well even after hours of practice.

Good value for the size

For an 18-inch drum, the price is very reasonable. It took a few days to break in the skin, but now it has a rich, deep tone. The included beaters are decent too.

Beautiful craftsmanship

Not only does it sound amazing, but it looks stunning on display. The red lacquer details are vibrant and the wood grain is gorgeous.

5 FAQ

Q: Are replacement skins available if mine gets damaged?

A: Yes, we sell replacement 18-inch cowhide heads specifically cut for this model. Please contact our support team with your order number if you need to purchase a replacement in the future.

Q: Can this drum be used outdoors in the rain?

A: While the drum is durable, natural cowhide is sensitive to excessive moisture. We recommend using it under cover or bringing it indoors immediately after outdoor performances to prevent the skin from warping or loosening.

Q: Is the stand included with this purchase?

A: No, this listing includes the drum, two wooden beaters, and a carrying strap. The drum stand is sold separately to allow customers to choose the height and style that best fits their performance needs.

Q: What is the warranty period for this instrument?

A: We offer a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in the wood frame and hardware. Normal wear and tear on the cowhide surface from regular playing is not covered.

Q: Does this drum come pre-tuned or do I need to tune it myself?

A: The drum arrives with a standard factory tension. However, due to changes in humidity and temperature during shipping, we recommend adjusting the rope tension slightly upon arrival to achieve your preferred pitch.
