Thank you so much. Even though I probably won't reskin a drum, or at least not anytime soon, I was still curious about how it is done. I love that you are sharing your knowledge instead of demanding $30 for a dvd. I respect your company much more than the ones that treat all information as proprietary. WWdrums Rocks!

Excellent video! I've found that when I pull down on the rope, it will try to grab slack from the opposite side. I've started using a second vice grip to keep the next vertical rope from giving any slack to the rope I'm tightening.

I suggest you get a rope puller. I just got done tightening the verticals on a thick Mali skin. It took me six attempts to bring it into tune. I made my own puller out of a shovel handle an orthopedic traction rope and S ring and a split tennis ball. The amount of traction needed to pull a head into tune is a lot. The first S ring actually straightened out from the tension. I was about to give up, the sound was flat it had a ring after tone. I got a stronger S ring and finally got it tight enough to sound good. I must have spent eight hours working on it. I suggest you bring it to a shop or get a quality rope puller for the final tightening of the verticals.

Excellent! Thanks for this. I've had a djembe drum that I reskined with some help from a friend a few years ago but never fully finished tightening the skin to the drum. Gonna watch this some more and give it a go :)

It seems you went in the opposite direction of the installation. Then, the slack would end up at the original knot, did you or is this a different drum?

i agree ...... unless we retie the original loop?? It doesnt seem right to me. looking down on the drum head he installed anti clockwise, but tightened on this video clockwise. Yet in the previous video the initial slack removing was done anti clockwise.

On a seasoned djembe, when the verticals have accumulated too much slack to use diamonds but not enough to rap around a broom stick, how do you start pulling off that slack without the specialized lever?
@nicholaszwack4948

You should be able to get the handle between the ropes without wrapping around and pull some slack into the rope. If not, unlace the verticals enough to get a wrap on the handle. You may need to loosen before you tighten.

Can you kindly explain how to do the last knot please. Thanks for the excellent video
@nicholaszwack4948

Hi Sean, the last knot is easy. The best way to do this is to put a loop in the very beginning of the rope process. Then when you complete the lacing and return back to the loop, you put the end of the rope through the loop. You then tighten the verticals starting at the loop end of the rope so that all the slack rope is pulled through the loop. When the drum is completely tightened, tie off the loose rope to the loop. Easy to do, hard to explain.

Hi, I just had my skin replaced (a friend did it) and the skin around the edges is too long and gets in the way when I play. Do you have any suggestions for cutting it? Of course, it's no longer wet so it's kind of sharp. thanks, Carol

You can try moistening the skin that sticking up with a damp rag or mist bottle. Then grab a tall piece of skin with a vise grip. Clamp it tightly to the skin. Pulling on the skin with the vise grips, use a pair of scissors to cut the excess off as close as possible to the rope and rings. Try not to let the skin get too wet, just enough so it can be cut. No need for a cutting action. You should be able to push the scissors around the skin without the usual cutting action. Like cutting wrapping paper buy just pushing the scissors. Good luck
so I had trimmed my drum before the tightening process, and as I pulled the head tighter, the skin began to slip from the ring a little. It sounds fine, but I wonder if I tried tightening it too soon? I let it dry overnight.

Your head can slip if it was not completely dried before tightening. If it did slip, and you are OK with the sound, keep playing it, and tuning if need be until it slips all the way. Then you will get more experience putting a new head on your drum. If the rings are matched well and the skin is dry, the skin should not slip.

You need to clap the rope tightly. If this is not working, it's possible your vice grip jaws are worn smooth from use.

@@joshee340 OK, sorry for the misunderstanding. Instead of clamping the rope up under the skin over and against the ring, clap the rope you are trying hold to the rope next too it. You are clamping two ropes together.
