ZOOM IN Meinl Sonic Energy wave drums (or ocean drums) are made of Siam oak with pre-tuned rawhide goat skin and synthetic heads; inside are mixed metal beads that give the drum its instantly recognizable ocean surf sound effect
HOW IT WORKS slowly tilt the drum any direction to allow the beads to roll around the drum head; recommended to hold the drum with the transparent synthetic head facing up
WHERE TO USE perfect for sound immersion, sound baths, ASMR, meditation, yoga, Reiki therapy, live acoustic music, and recorded music
TWO BIG THINGS you can control the amount of beads inside with the sealable port on the shell (go for a light or strong sound); the heads are pre-tuned and playable with your hands or soft mallet (mallet sold separately)
BY THE NUMBERS 20" diameter x 2.5" deep
THE TAKEAWAY this drum has a wide variety of uses, but it's best suited for sound immersion to create a relaxing ocean surf sound effect; a great tool for sound healing practitioners
