Thank you for this! I was able to use a similar technique on a clay darbuka (although cutting the new head the right size to fit was more difficult than I expected)!

Where did you find fish skin for darbuka sizes?

[@ZannDarbuka]

@@najidrum I used a goat skin. Fish is very hard to get anywhere, and if you can find them, they are very expensive.
