The Kentville Drums 14-inch Medium Gauge Kangaroo Hide Drum Head brings the natural warmth, flexibility and durability of genuine kangaroo hide to your drum. Handmade in Sydney, Australia using traditional methods, each head is carefully produced from selected kangaroo leather and attached to its hoop by hand for an authentic natural playing surface.

Kentville Drums is known for supplying handmade kangaroo hide drumheads to professional musicians and orchestras around the world. Kangaroo hide is lightweight, flexible and durable, qualities that translate into a responsive drumhead with a warm tonal character. Unlike synthetic heads, the natural hide responds to changes in weather, expanding in humid conditions and contracting in dry conditions, so appropriate tension management is important.

The 14-inch Medium Gauge construction measures 10–12 mils and is supplied as one drum head. For best results, maintain even tension when tuning and avoid placing your weight on the head to seat it as you would with a new plastic drumhead. Store the head mounted on the drum with controlled tension and take humidity changes into consideration. Sky Music Australia supplies Kentville Drums genuine Australian kangaroo hide drumheads.
