Repairs

Welcome to the Wula Repair Shop

We offer a full range of drum repair services — from a Basic Remount (skin replacement) to Complete Re-Builds, including Oiling and Crack repairs. To request a Drum Repair, CLICK HERE.

Basic Remount

• Clean up the shell and level the playing surface / bearing edge if needed.

• Remove old skin and replace with quality skin from Guinea (thickness choices available).

• Remove old rope and replace with 5.5mm non-stretch rope (different color choices available).

Refurbish the Rings

• We wrap rings with fabric (color choices available) and tie the loops with 4mm black rope.

• Some rings need to be resized in order to perfectly fit the drum and have a more precise and durable tuning.

• We can also replace any ring that is no longer good.

Complete Re-Build

This drum was played in the desert at Burning Man, and then left untouched for months. It had sand stuck to the shell everywhere! The shell needed a full repair service: fix several cracks, cleaning, sanding, re-oiling and rewaxing. After that, the rings were retied and wrapped. Finally, a brand new 5.5mm rope and a premium goatskin from Guinea.

This drum was resurrected!
