Suited to jazz, orchestral, folk and contemporary performers, this genuine kangaroo hide drumhead is easy to tune, melodic and responsive, with a natural tonal response free from troublesome overtones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a Heavy thickness of approximately 12–14 mil, this drumhead offers a balance of sensitivity, warmth and durability. Each hide is carefully selected and examined before being cut and thinned to the required thickness. The precisely sized hide is then hand-lapped to an aluminium flesh hoop before being placed on a mould to dry and form a collar for a comfortable fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKentville Drums uses traditional drumhead-making techniques inspired by the craftsmanship of the past, including methods used for the snares of drummer boys during the Napoleonic wars. After several days of forming, each drumhead is removed from its mould, individually inspected and given a unique serial number before being sealed for protection during transit. The result is a handmade natural-hide drumhead combining traditional craftsmanship with the needs of today's drummers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine kangaroo hide drumhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-inch size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy grade, approximately 12–14 mil thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaw, full-bodied and naturally warm tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelodic and responsive playing characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to tune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural response with minimal troublesome overtones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for jazz, orchestral, folk and contemporary music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntirely handmade using traditional drumhead-making techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarefully selected, cut and thinned kangaroo hide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-lapped to an aluminium flesh hoop for strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach drumhead is individually inspected and assigned a unique serial number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentville Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kangaroo Hide Drum Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 12–14 mil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kangaroo Hide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlesh Hoop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kentville Drums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44046078869566,"sku":"KH16HW","price":126.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1339\/6367\/files\/eaa3fd73-2fd9-4316-a561-768c9959f17c.jpg?v=1789605770","url":"https:\/\/skymusic.com.au\/products\/kentville-drums-kangaroo-hide-drum-head-16-inch-heavy","provider":"Sky Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
