Beautiful Craftsmanship

You can tell this is handmade. The rivets are perfectly placed and the wood grain is gorgeous. It looks as good as it sounds.

Solid Drum, Heavy Shipping

The drum itself is fantastic and sounds traditional. Only giving 4 stars because the shipping box was slightly damaged, though the drum was safe inside.

Great for Dragon Boat Practice

We bought the 20-inch model for our dragon boat team. It cuts through the noise of the water and paddles beautifully. Very durable construction.

Perfect Tone for Awakening Lion

As a sifu, I am very particular about drum tones. This 16-inch drum has the exact pitch needed for the awakening lion ceremony. Highly recommended.

Good value for the price

Compared to other suppliers, this offers great value. The sound is rich, though it took a few days of playing to break in the hide fully.

Authentic Foshan Quality

This drum exceeded my expectations. The cowhide is thick and the sound is incredibly deep, perfect for our lion dance troupe's performances.

5 FAQ

Q: How long does shipping take to the US West Coast?

A: Standard shipping typically takes 7-10 business days to the US West Coast. Expedited options are available at checkout for faster delivery.

Q: Does this drum come with beaters or mallets?

A: No, the drum is sold separately to allow you to choose your preferred beater style. We recommend traditional wooden mallets for the best sound.

Q: What is the difference between the 12-inch and 24-inch models?

A: The primary difference is pitch and volume. The 12-inch produces a higher, sharper tone suitable for smaller groups, while the 24-inch offers a massive, low-frequency boom ideal for large outdoor events.

Q: Is the cowhide treated or raw?

A: The cowhide is professionally treated and stretched to ensure durability and consistent tension, but it retains the natural acoustic properties of traditional drums.

Q: Can I replace the drumhead if it wears out?

A: Yes, the drumhead is secured with traditional rivets. While replacement requires some skill, local instrument repair shops familiar with Asian percussion can usually handle it.
