RichSpirit'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.
