👉 Advice for choosing the right size of skin:
For a drum with a 30 cm diameter, you'll need a drumhead approximately 45 to 50 cm in diameter. Generally, you add 8 to 10 centimeters of extra material around the rim; this will allow for:
- To have enough material for the tension,
- To prevent the skin from tearing
- Ensure good sound quality once dry and taut.
