FAQs

How long will it take? Reskinning generally takes 7 to 14 days, depending on demand and the condition of your drum.

Reskin or Replace? Not sure if your drum is worth re-skinning? Here’s a simple guide: 

✔️ Reskinning is a great option if your drum is hand-carved, high quality, or holds sentimental value. A fresh skin can bring it back to life! 

❌ Replacement might be better if your drum is a mass-produced, machine-turned model (often from Indonesia or India) or has a head size of 10" or smaller. In these cases, getting a new drum can often be more cost-effective.
