Handmade in Australia from kangaroo skin, these medium-gauge heads provide a big, thick fundamental with warm, controlled overtones, while offering a wide tuning range and clear, responsive articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKangaroo hide is significantly stronger than calf hide, making these heads a robust and durable alternative to conventional two-ply Mylar heads. Because the playing surface is the actual texture of the hide rather than a coating, there is no coating to wear away over time. The heads are easy to tune, melodic and responsive, with a clear fundamental that makes accurate tuning straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuited to jazz, orchestral, folk and contemporary playing, Kentville Drums kangaroo hide heads offer the full-bodied warmth and natural tone associated with traditional drumheads. Each head is entirely handmade in Australia using traditional lapping and forming techniques, with hides sourced as an ethically sourced by-product of a regulated culling program.
