Rich Spirit's Finished Ashiko Drums are popular because of their light weight, amazing sound and beauty. The drums are made of salvaged redwood, pine, poplar, maple, black walnut, mohogany, luan, oak, ash and cedar; the head is goat skin (with or without fur); the rope is black climbing rope; the rings of welded 1/4" steel are padded and wrapped with extraordinary fabric. The drums have an appreciated resonating base, a high-pitched edge, and a loud sharp slap.
