The Kentville Drums 13-inch Heavy Kangaroo Hide Drum Head delivers the raw, full-bodied warmth and natural character that plastic drumheads can often lack. Designed for jazz, orchestral, folk and contemporary performers, this genuine kangaroo hide head is melodic, responsive and easy to tune, with a controlled tone that helps minimise troublesome overtones.

At approximately 12–14 mil thick, the Heavy grade offers an excellent balance of sensitivity, warmth and durability. Each drumhead is entirely handmade using traditional techniques, from carefully selecting and thinning the hide through to lapping it onto a strong aluminium flesh hoop and forming the collar on a mould.

Inspired by the sounds and traditions of the past while meeting the needs of modern drummers, Kentville Drums uses an old-world process that dates back centuries. Every head receives a unique serial number and final inspection before leaving the workshop, making the Kentville Drums 13-inch Heavy Kangaroo Hide Drum Head a distinctive choice for players seeking an authentic natural-hide playing experience.
