My mother bought a drum back from Ipoh for WZ, on first glance it doesn't look like anything special.

But on closer inspection, the art on the drum looks like it was painted by someone with a giant brush in quick broad strokes.

And of course the surface of the drum just looked weird, it looked worn, and there were these holes on the side, and... it was rigid at the edges.

I asked my mother why it was this way, she answered that. Oh that's cow hide they have to stretch it out and dry it this way.

So... for new years grandma bought WZ an authentic handmade, cow hide drum.
