Calfskin and Goatskin Batter Heads for 14" through 17" diameter drums

Our STANDARD calfskin and goatskin heads are the highest grade skins, produced with a careful eye to consistency in thickness. Supply of these skins has been uneven at best over the last few years; if you cannot put one from the list in your cart, it means it is currently out of stock.

We also stock BASIC goatskin heads. These heads are durable, economical, and well suited for drums that need to look time-period authentic or are intended primarily for display purposes. We occasionally have a few BASIC calfskin heads in stock as well; if we do, it will appear in the listing.

BASIC goatskin heads with hair are also in stock now in 18" diameter. If you need a larger or smaller diameter, contact us for availability.

Please contact us if you have any questions about the size or thickness of calfskin or goatskin that you need.

There are several options for ordering these heads. You can order the flat (untucked) skin, or the skin pretucked on a new flesh hoop, or you can choose to send us your existing flesh hoop to use for tucking the new head.

Order the flat calfskin or goatskin here, then add services for tucking if you'd like us to do so.
