Installation
Installation of the Nagado Daiko head requires traditional tacking methods. Ensure the drum shell is clean and free of debris before positioning the head. Center the 20″ outer diameter carefully over the shell, ensuring the 16″ crown diameter aligns correctly with the bearing edge. Use appropriate tacks to secure the Nuskyn material firmly to the wooden shell, working in a cross-pattern to maintain even tension across the surface.
