Express ConfigurHEDor

Each configuration starts with the basic setup: A drum with a diameter of 37 cm, a frame depth of 14 cm, and an Edlauer Select premium goatskin drumhead. The Edlauer Select premium goatskin drumheads are produced and refined by internationally renowned master tanner Werner Edlauer according to our specifications and exclusively for Hedwitschak Drums. The multi-point tuning system with its smooth-running and easy-to-access star grip knobs allows for precise and fast tuning without any extra tools, and is really easy to handle thanks to the four-point star shape of the knobs.

We use the highest quality sustainable material in the manufacture of your express configurHEDor Bodhrán. Beeswax is an important component of a high-quality, natural finish. However, it is possible to create a natural vegan surface of the same quality with a little extra work, a different finishing material, and longer drying times.

Choosing a frame design, both exterior and interior, is entirely a matter of personal taste and aesthetic preference. It has absolutely no impact on the sound of the instrument!

The skin area along the spine is harder and less flexible than the rest of the drumhead, so the sound in this area is louder and harder. The overall sound of the drum becomes „wilder“ and more „percussive“. If in doubt, better order a drumhead without a spine. ;). For details about the different skins, see below.

Apart from the drumhead, the tuning rim is the main element that influences the sound. Depending on your choice of tuning rim, the overall sound can become harder, softer, dryer, richer, more defined, more earthy... The tuning rim also influences sound projection, as well as the sound pickup properties when you are using a microphone. By default, all tuning rims feature the isolatHED tuning technology.

Choose from different design options. The nails have no particular function, they are also purely decorative.

Here you can enter a short text for a handwritten dedication that Christian will write on the inside of the frame next to the stamped logo and his signature. Please use the comment field in the last step at checkout to tell us the text you want for your dedication.

Choose this option to receive real-time pictures about the production status of your instrument via e-mail. By e-mail you will receive at least five pictures and short explanatory texts documenting the making of your instrument to keep you informed about the production progress. Christian will use your e-mail address exclusively for this purpose, and only during the production process.
