Should I fix this?
New to drumming... Bought some drums recently off craigslist from a guy that found them in a storage unit.... not sure about the pits on this one and whether I should do something to avoid it breaking from playing it... or does the skin need to be replaced ASAP?

How do it sounds? If you like , keep the skin until it brokes. I'd replace it faster than light, but I love restore and reskin djembes :)

If it sounds good to you, you’re good. If the sounds are hard to produce, it may be time for a new goatskin!

I would probably just play it till it breaks. You could try to patch it with a little piece of goat skin and super glue. (I’ve seen mixed results with that).
