CAUTION!!!

NEVER LEAVE YOUR DRUM IN A CAR, NEAR A VENT OR ANY HEAT SOURCE, OR WHERE THERE ARE SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE. DOING SO MAY CAUSE THE HIDE TO CRACK!!!

ADJUSTING THE TONE OF YOUR DRUM

TONE TOO HIGH?

Add moisture (mist front and back using water and a spritzer, or take into the bathroom when you shower).

TONE TOO DEEP?

Add heat (put in sun or next to heat source briefly, or use a hair dryer).

Buffalo Hide is always Deep

TONE FLAT AND DRUM RIPPLED?

Add heat as above (this is the extreme end of too deep -- do not worry -- tone will return as it dries!)

NATURAL HIDE DRUMS ARE VERY RESPONSIVE TO HEAT AND MOISTURE!!! ADJUST WITH CARE
