Exceeded expectations

As a dance instructor, I needed a drum that could withstand daily practice sessions. This 18-inch drum is robust, the skin is tight, and the volume is impressive without being harsh. Great purchase.

Authentic Southern Lion Sound

If you are looking for that traditional punchy sound required for Southern Lion routines, this is it. The thickened hide makes a huge difference compared to thinner synthetic heads. Very satisfied.

Solid choice for schools

We purchased this for our high school music program. It is durable enough for students to use and produces a rich tone. The included sticks are decent, though we eventually upgraded to custom mallets.

Perfect for our competition team

The sound quality on this drum is incredible. The thickened cowhide provides a deep resonance that cuts through the noise of a crowded venue. Our Southern Lion team has been using it for three months now, and it holds its tuning remarkably well.

Great sound, slightly heavy

The acoustic performance is top-notch, exactly what you need for a competition. My only minor complaint is that it is a bit heavier than expected for long parades, but the durability makes up for it.

Beautiful craftsmanship

I bought this for our local cultural festival. The yellow cowhide looks stunning under the stage lights, and the hardwood frame feels very sturdy. It came with nice drumsticks too. Highly recommended for serious performers.

5 FAQ

Q: Are replacement drumheads available if mine gets damaged?

A: Yes, we sell compatible 18-inch replacement cowhide heads separately. Please contact our support team with your order number for assistance.

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

A: While the frame is sturdy, we recommend avoiding direct exposure to rain or extreme moisture as natural cowhide can be affected by water. It is best suited for indoor stages or covered outdoor areas.

Q: Is the cowhide real or synthetic?

A: This model features genuine thickened yellow cowhide, which provides the authentic sound and durability required for professional competitions.

Q: What is the warranty period for this product?

A: We offer a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in the frame and hardware. Normal wear and tear on the drumhead 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 pre-tuned and ready to play. However, like all natural skin drums, you may need minor adjustments depending on your local humidity and temperature.
