- A player who wants all three voices without buying separately

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
8, 10 and 12 inch
Three distinct voices — the 8 sits highest for lead figures, the 12 carries the low pulse underneath.
Detail 03
ABS frames
Plastic frames instead of wood, so they are lighter and shrug off knocks and moisture better.
Detail 04
Nylon bag included
All three travel in one case, which is most of what makes this a practical gigging set.
Detail 05
Set of three
You can cover a full plena part yourself or hand pieces out across three players.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Natural skin loosens in damp weather — warm the head to bring pitch back.
- 02Nothing to mount them on; these are played held or seated.
- 03The nylon bag is a soft carry bag, not hard protection.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I tune these?
Goat skin responds to heat and humidity more than anything. Gentle warmth tightens the head and raises the pitch; damp air loosens it.
02Is this a complete set?
Yes — three drums at 8, 10 and 12 inches with a nylon carry bag for all of them.
03Are the frames wood?
No, they are ABS plastic. Lighter than wood and less affected by moisture and rough handling.
04Can a beginner start on these?
Yes. Having all three sizes lets you learn how the parts fit together rather than practicing one voice in isolation.
