What if the skin feels too loose?
Never play the drum when it is too soft or limp, this will produce a dent in the skin, or a nice hole. You can bring it back to playing tension by gentle and careful use of a heat from a blow dryer or held high enough above a candle, etc. Caution: Never leave the drum in strong sunlight or very hot conditions e.g. near radiators, or in a car on a hot day as this will over stretch the skin and it will not be correct at normal room temperature. Keep the drum when not in use in a case or the carry box it came in in a cool place so that the skin can relax.
