After three years of researching and trialling the chemistry and the production techniques associated with the making of natural rawhide drum heads it was obvious that a system classifying the different levels of development be attempted.

The system that has evolved and become Archangel Drum Heads is the most revolutionary approach ever applied to frame drum heads. Musicians can now not only select the species of a head but also the weight of the skin and the level of finish.

The skins are available either

• on one of our range of drums or
• as a vacuum packed head for you to 
  
• attach to a new-build instrument or
• replace an existing drumhead
