The Kentville Drums 14-inch Fine Gauge Kangaroo Hide Drum Head brings the warmth, sensitivity and clear fundamental tone of traditional rawhide to your drum. Handmade in Australia from carefully selected kangaroo hides, these heads are designed to deliver a natural character and responsive articulation that synthetic heads can often struggle to reproduce.

Every Kentville head is traditionally handmade using time-honoured drumhead-making techniques. Selected hides are stretched, dried, cut and carefully thinned to the required thickness before being lapped to flesh hoops and formed on moulds. Each head undergoes a thorough final inspection before being sealed and shipped from the Kentville Drums workshop.

The kangaroo hides used by Kentville Drums are ethically sourced as a by-product of a culling program overseen by Australia's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. The 14-inch Fine Gauge construction measures approximately 8–10 mils, providing fine sensitivity and articulation for players who value the natural tone and feel of genuine rawhide. Sky Music Australia supplies Kentville Drums handmade Australian drumheads.
