13-15" Cow Rawhide Disc Drum Cover (55-20-14) K16

This listing is for one 13-15" diameter Cow Rawhide Leather Disc.

These pre-cut drum covers made of cow rawhide are ideal for making Native
American drums, Shaman drums, traditional Japanese drums, and drums in general.
The thickness used produces the best sound for the size: This disc just under
1/8" thick. Rawhide is also referred to as parchment or vellum.

Cow rawhide is thicker than goat rawhide and is more suitable for making drums
that use drumsticks. Goat rawhide is really thin and is better suited for
making hand drums.

Note: When working with cow rawhide, soak the drum covers for between four and
twelve hours depending upon the thickness and oiliness of the skins. The
thicker and more oily the hide, the longer it should be soaked. Soaking the
skins for longer than 12 hours can result in a degradation of the skins.

Elk or deer rawhide can be soaked overnight. If you do this with cow rawhide,
it will fall apart.

Genus and species: Bos taurus. Ranch.
