Cochineal Dyed Kangaroo Hide Drum - Preorder

$777.00

This drum will be handmade by me using this kangaroo hide, naturally dyed with whole dried cochineal beetles, and stretched over a hand-crafted 14” paulownia timber frame made by a fellow artisan whose work I deeply respect.

Please note these photos show the hide in its dried, unstretched state. Once tensioned over the frame the colour deepens and evens, and the surface smooths considerably — as you can see in photos of my finished drums.

Inside-out lacing is available on request.

I also hold space for others through private drum birthing journeys — if you feel called to birth your own drum from this specific hide, get in touch to discuss.

Please allow 4–6 weeks from order depending on materials and timing.

Price is inclusive of postage within Australia.
