Description
Overview
Restore the authentic voice of your percussion instrument with the Tycoon Natural Unbleached Goatskin Replacement Head. Specifically engineered for the 11″ Dancing Drum Djembe, this replacement skin provides the organic warmth, sharp slap, and deep bass response that only genuine animal hide can deliver. By using unbleached goatskin, Tycoon ensures a natural surface that maintains the traditional tonal characteristics required for authentic West African drumming styles.
Key Details
- Premium Material: Crafted from high-quality, natural unbleached goatskin for superior resonance and durability.
- Optimized Sizing: Specifically cut for 11″ diameter Djembe shells to ensure a proper fit.
- Untucked Design: This is an untucked replacement head, designed for specific mounting styles that do not require the skin to be folded inside the shell.
- Authentic Tone: Provides the traditional “crack” on the rim and a rich, booming low end.
Use Cases
- Maintenance & Repair: Ideal for replacing worn, stretched, or punctured skins on 11″ Dancing Drum Djembes.
- Tonal Refresh: Use this head to return a dated instrument to its original factory sound profile.
- Professional Performance: Suitable for street performing, studio recording, and cultural ensembles where an authentic goatskin sound is mandatory.
Installation
Replacing a Djembe head requires patience and the correct tools. Ensure the old head is completely removed and the bearing edge of the drum shell is clean and smooth. Position the new goatskin head centrally over the shell. Because this is an untucked head, it is designed to be secured via the drum’s tensioning system without the need for internal tucking. Gradually tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern to ensure even tension across the skin, avoiding over-tightening which can lead to premature skin failure.
