Hi,
I'm wondering if it's ok to get a skin wet while it's tight on the drum at full tension?
I want to dye it (with natural pigment) and I'm hoping it's ok to just brush the dye on without loosening the drum? I would let it sit with the dye on it for a while, and then wipe off the excess later with a wet paper towel. If necessary I could take care not to fully soak it, and brush it on thinly.
I wouldn't normally bother with dying a skin, plain things usually look best to me, but it's a bit of an ugly off-putting skin and I bought the drum for others to play. It sounds great though, and is virtually unused, no point in replacing it yet.
Thanks!
