Does anyone know where I can buy pigskin drum hides?[/quote
Hey Kona
How are you doing you can get pig skin for that drum from http://www.sterntanning.com if they don't have ask him for a thick calf head it will do the job 10-15 sheets of paper thick. Remember to re spray white paint back on skin after install or it will not sound proper.

It seem excessive considering I recently got a whole drum sent to me from New York for $25! Maybe the postal rates have gone up a bunch lately. I don't mind paying it....I will if that's what it is. However, I sent them an email to double check on that shipping rate. I'm waiting for an answer.
Yes I for got leather unlimited there problem there heads are not tanner ed and my have hairs and imperfections un even cuts but they are good. That shipping is quite expensive for just a head I buy from stern 10 - 20 heads shipping the most $18.00 may be they are shipping overnight . I would ask OK good luck if you need help in mount do not hesitate to email or call
