you send us a photo of your drum in advance, so that we can see what
needs to be done. You can reach us best from Monday-Friday between 10:00 -18:00 hrs.

Drum Head re-heading
If your drum head skin has torn we can support you on how you can change it yourself or you can send it in to us and we do the job for you. There are many possibilities of influencing the sound by choosing a specific type of skin. A wide selection of different skins can be found on our page drum head Skins. We can restor your drumskin in many different styles, with or without a hair rim and positioning the ring high or low how ever you prefer it. Reskinning is always a good chance to make small or large improvements on your drum at the same time.
Sending your drum back within Germany costs 8,90 €. The whole process of work including the drying time is approximately 8 days.
