Drumhead of skin with hair There are 2 products.

Fur patches with fur are a very characteristic and valuable element in some traditional instruments such as the Peruvian drum or the bombo legüero, especially in South American folk music. Ancestral sound with authentic texture, generally made with goat, cow or kid skin, they are mounted on traditional drums such as the bombo legüero or Peruvian drum to achieve a natural, low and organic sound.

Sound characteristics:

Warm and deep tone, with richer nuances than synthetic heads.

Smooth and controlled resonance, ideal for traditional rhythmic accompaniment.

The presence of hair in the drumhead attenuates high harmonics and provides a drier, duller sound, much appreciated in processions and popular music.

Its texture offers a unique response to the strike, generating a more organic vibration.

Advantages of use in bass drums or Peruvian drums:

Authentic and traditional style.

Excellent for environments where an emotional and deep sound is sought, such as Holy Week, Afro-Peruvian music or Andean folklore.

Perfect for instruments made of wood, as they complement their natural resonance.

Care and considerations:

They are sensitive to humidity and temperature changes.

They require traditional manual or rope tensioning (in many cases).

They are usually more delicate than synthetic ones, but they provide an irreplaceable character.

In short:

Fur patches are not only a sonic choice, but also a cultural one. They connect the instrument to its roots, bringing a deep, smooth, soulful sound that can't be replicated with modern materials.
