Description
The sound of Australia
Kangaroo hide heads are suited to a variety of musical settings. They are perfect for jazz, orchestral, folk and contemporary performers seeking the raw, full-bodied, warmth that is often absent in a plastic head. Our aim is to provide a product inspired by the sounds and traditions of the past, whilst remaining true to the needs and desires of today’s drummers. The heads are easy to tune, melodic, responsive and free of troublesome overtones. Hear the difference for yourself...
Sizes and gauges
Heads are available in standard sizes 10” through to 24”, as well as common pre-international sizes to suit vintage British drums sized 9 5/8” through to 21 5/8”. Odd sizes not listed can be custom made on request.
We offer a choice of three gauges:
Fine: 8-10mil; Medium: 10-12mil; Heavy: 12-14mil
Self-adhesive kangaroo hide bass drum strike patches and Hoop-a-roo© hoop protectors are also available.
Flesh hoops
Our heads are lapped to solid aluminium flesh hoops, which provide great strength, tuning accuracy and durability.
Traditional maple flesh hoops are also available by request for restoration purposes.
Tambourines and frame drums
In addition to conventional drumheads, we also offer a re-heading service for tambourines, banjos, djembes, frame drums and other percussion instruments. Our tambourine heads are used by several leading orchestral performers, including the percussionists of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
An ethical choice
The hides we use are the ethically sourced by-product of a culling program overseen by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. This program ensures that the kangaroo population in eastern Australia remains healthy and at a sustainable number. Harvested animals provide consumers with an eco-friendly alternative to consuming beef or lamb and in using the hides to produce drumheads, more of each animal is used, resulting in less waste. The kangaroo is one of Australia’s national animals, and the highest level of consideration and care is taken to ensure that our hides are procured in an ethical and sustainable manner that serves to benefit the species.
