Deer Rawhide

£70.00

For Drum Birthing & Traditional Craft

Our Deer Rawhide, responsibly sourced from Pakistan, is a beautifully versatile and responsive material ideal for drum birthing and traditional craftwork. Deer rawhide is known for its balanced tension, warm resonance, and adaptability, making it a favourite for both new and experienced drum makers.

Each hide has been trimmed prior to purchase, making it ready for soaking, stretching, and crafting. Light, workable, and naturally expressive, every piece carries its own unique textures, tonal variations, and markings that reflect the life of the animal.

Hide Details

Average Size: 110cm x 85cm
These hides come pre-trimmed, though as natural materials, you can still expect variation in shape, thickness, and usable area.

Responsible Sourcing

Our deer rawhides are responsibly sourced from suppliers in Pakistan who work only with hides from animals already within the local agricultural and food systems. They are traditionally processed and trimmed to prepare them for craft use while preserving their natural integrity.

Ideal For:

  • Drum birthing & frame drum work

  • Crafting lighter, responsive drums

  • Makers seeking a gentle, warm-toned hide

  • Ceremonial and energy work

Natural Variation

As with all natural rawhides, you may notice:

  • Colour shifts or variegation

  • Variations in thickness and density

  • Natural scars or markings

  • Slight irregularity in shape, even after trimming

These characteristics are part of what gives each hide - and each drum - its unique voice and story. They are not considered faults.
