If the tonations on the omele are slightly off, is there a way to tune the drums?

[@augustineefeola]

Yes. First the problem might be from the tuning wax or the skin. if the problem is from the skin, that means you'll have to tighten the Antelope string called osan and if it from the tunning wax called ida, that means you'll have to change it.

[@damiojo8672]

Augustine Efe Ola I really appreciate your response brother. I just picked up the drums last week and I’m in the U.S (Atlanta). I believe the drum skin is in great condition, but the ida seems to be peeling off slightly. What substance can I use as alternative?

[@augustineefeola]

Am sorry there's no alternative. There's nothing you can use to improvise. The Ida is specially design for the bata drum and few drum from the Yoruba tribe of Africa and Diaspora. The only thing you can do is to protect the ida on your drum by covering it with Lyon and the face has stain already, you can use kerosene to clean it, the face will become white again but don't let the kerosene to touch the side of the ida. You can keep on managing it till you come back to Nigeria and change the ida.
