The Ocean Drum, also known as the sea drum, is a fascinating percussion instrument that brings the magic of the ocean into the player's hands. Their special feature lies in the unique construction, which makes it possible to acoustically recreate the sounds of waves and tides. The gentle sound of the surf, crashing waves in stormy seas and everything in between - with this drum you get a musical ticket to the world of the sea.
Sela Ocean Drums are available in five different sizes and are characterized by their innovative design. They consist of a round beech wood frame, which, unlike many other hand and frame drums, is covered on both sides. Inside the Ocean Drum there are many small balls made of metal and plastic that dance over the head as the drum moves, creating noise effects reminiscent of ocean waves. Since one side is covered with a natural skin and the other with a synthetic skin, the Sela Ocean Drum can produce two completely different tones. Thanks to a lockable opening in the frame, the amount of beads and thus the volume and response of the drum can be individually adjusted.
The way the Sela Ocean Drum is played is as impressive as it is uncomplicated: you simply hold it on the frame and then tilt, roll or shake it to create very different sounds. Gentle movements create calming sea sounds, while more intense movements create the sound of waves in a storm. The Sela Ocean Drum can also be played like a conventional drum by hitting the skins with the flat of your hand, the heel of your hand or individual fingers. The tonal repertoire of the Sela Ocean Drum can be further expanded with separately available mallets or brushes - there are hardly any limits to creativity.
The Sela Ocean Drum impresses with its meditative sound, which offers both beginners and experienced musicians a unique sound experience. It is an extremely versatile instrument that can be used in different contexts: The calming sounds of the Sela Ocean Drum are balm for the soul and therefore ideal for meditation and relaxation exercises. They can help reduce stress and achieve a meditative state. In music therapy, the Ocean Drum is often used to promote relaxation and emotional healing. Their ease of use makes them accessible to people of all ages. Musicians appreciate the versatility of Sela Ocean Drums as they provide unique sound effects and atmosphere in both live performances and studio recordings. The Sela Ocean Drum is also the perfect instrument to introduce children to the fascinating world of percussion and the joy of making music in music lessons.
