We will gladly add inlays to your drum to give it a unique look. Inlays will alter the price of your drum depending on the type of wood you would like us to use, and the intricacy of the inlay.
This drum is a custom order we've been calling the yin yang drum,the inlay is made of ebony and figured maple. The inlay and art work were added to customise our 24'' standard ashiko, but inlays or art could be added to any size or style drum new or used . If your considering a new drum or want to spice up an old one please contact us and share some ideas. From yin yangs to angels, sharks to doves we want you to have the nicest drum on your block.
