Bring the sound of the sea into the classroom with the Percussion Plus wood shell wave drum. This simple and engaging percussion instrument uses ball bearings between two taut transparent plastic skins to create a realistic ocean sound when the drum is gently moved from side to side.
The sturdy wooden construction makes the wave drum well suited to music education, where it can be used to explore sound effects, dynamics and movement. It can also be incorporated into percussion packs or used independently for creative music-making and classroom activities.
The drum contains ball bearings between its two clear plastic skins. Tilting and moving the drum causes the bearings to roll and collide across the skins, producing a sound that closely resembles waves and the sea.
A bright red solid wood rim provides a sturdy frame around the drum. The construction is designed to withstand regular use in educational environments, making it a practical addition to classroom percussion equipment.
The wave drum offers a straightforward way to introduce children to sound exploration and creative percussion. It can be used to create seaside sound effects in musical activities, performances and storytelling, or simply played on its own to explore the effect of movement on sound.
