Who and What Is This Drum For?

The drum is lightweight and visually refined, with a printed finish that makes it suitable for a range of uses:

Meditation and therapeutic use
Suitable for meditation, sound massage, healing sessions, and other focused or restorative practices.

Studios and gifting
An appropriate gift item. Its appearance also makes it well suited for display and use in yoga studios or similar environments.

Musical use and performance
A tunable frame drum with a pitch range from A to D. It can be played with a beater or by hand using various techniques, including fingerstyle approaches. The instrument produces a consistent response across the membrane, from centre to edge, and also when played on the wooden frame. The full body of the drum contributes to its resonance, allowing for a wide range of tonal variation.

Travel and outdoor use
Lightweight and durable construction makes it suitable for transport, outdoor use, and festival settings.

Home and group settings
Appropriate for use at home, including with children or in small group settings. Designed to be durable, odour-free, and easy to handle, with added value as a decorative object.

Personal use at home
Can be used as a simple, accessible instrument for creative expression and relaxation in a home environment.

What's Included in the Set 

100% Vegan Instrument 

A stick for playing (shaman beater) is included in the set, made from acacia or linden wood. For the soft material, vegan faux fur (synthetic wool) is used.

Build & Materials

This is a 100% vegan instrument designed for durability, consistency and ease of use in any environment.

The drum features a lightweight yet strong wooden frame constructed from multiple layers of veneer for added stability. The handle is integrated directly into the rope system, allowing the entire body of the drum to vibrate freely. This design enhances resonance and produces a deeper, fuller sound.

The membrane is made from a specialized synthetic material that delivers excellent tone while remaining highly durable. Unlike traditional animal skins, it is resistant to changes in temperature and humidity.

Water-resistant and reliable in all conditions, this drum can be played outdoors in rain, fog or sunshine. It maintains a stable, consistent sound wherever you play without the fluctuations commonly experienced with deer or goatskin drums.

How to Tune Your Vegan Hand Drum

These drums feature a thoughtfully designed tuning system that is both precise and easy to use. You can adjust the pitch to make the sound higher or lower, dialing it in to the exact note you want.

Tuning Your Drum

On the back of the drum, you’ll find a series of screw bolts that control the tension of the membrane and hold it in place. These can be adjusted using a 3 mm hex key.

The process is simple. Turn one bolt slightly, about a quarter turn, then move to the next. Continue in a full circle until all bolts have been adjusted evenly.

For best results, repeat this process while listening carefully, or follow along with the video, until you reach the sound you’re looking for.

Turning the bolts clockwise increases tension and raises the pitch. Turning them counterclockwise decreases tension, lowering the pitch and creating a deeper tone.

The tuning process is intuitive and easy to learn. With a bit of practice, you’ll be able to quickly tune your drum to the note you want.

Is it possible to break the membrane?

Increase the tension gradually. Do not apply large adjustments in a single step. Tighten the bolts sequentially, turning each bolt by no more than a quarter to half turn per pass. Repeat this process in cycles until the desired tension is reached. Maintain consistent tension across all screws to ensure even response.

Testing has shown that the membrane can withstand very high tension without failure. Under controlled conditions, maximum tension did not result in damage. However, excessive tension is not recommended in normal use. For best performance, maintain a balanced, moderate tension and avoid tuning the membrane higher than necessary.
