• One central bass tone plus eight surrounding tones, each made up of two tongues sounding in two octaves

• Three silicone feet on the underside keep the drum from sliding
• Can be played with the fingers or with mallets

Sound and Playing Feel

The central bass tone together with the eight surrounding tones creates a rich, singing soundscape. Since each tone has two tongues sounding in different octaves, even simple patterns produce a full, harmonic sound. For a more compact, muted tone, simply close the sound hole with the included silicone plug.

Easy to Play Anywhere

Place the drum on a flat surface or on your lap and it's ready to play, either with your hands or with the included mallets. The three silicone feet keep it stable during play, regardless of surface.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want a meditative, accessible percussion instrument with no music theory required. Suited for relaxation, sound therapy, children and adults alike, or as an atmospheric addition to musical settings.
