Colourful look, vibrant sound

This brightly coloured drum gives a fun and exciting look, inviting young classes to learn and play. It has a lightweight body so is easily stored, transported and carried whilst playing. The drum surface gives plenty of room to master the three tones whilst being compact enough for small hands to carry. Although it is lightweight, the build quality is reassuringly sturdy and the sound is just as vibrant and powerful as its colourful patterned exterior!

The Bass

This area in the centre of the instrument produces a warm and full tone. Use your hands to strike the centre of the drum for a solid rhythmic backing, allowing accents to be created using the tone and slap positions.

The Tone

Straighten all your fingers at the same time. There are numerous hand positions that can be used to create the tone. Think of your hand as a straight extension of your arm, and you should get a solid ‘thud’ sound.

The Slap

This stroke can be played in the same position as the tone, the difference is that one relaxes the hand and arm to hit the drum with a slap-like motion. Spreading your fingers out slightly when they strike the tambourine helps create a crisp clear sound.
