SELA SEOD30 Ocean Drum

Description

Sela Ocean Drums are available in five different sizes and feature an 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 are many small spheres made of metal and plastic that dance across the skin when the drum is moved, creating noise effects reminiscent of ocean waves. Since one side is covered with a natural skin and the other with a plastic skin, two completely different timbres can be elicited from the Sela Ocean Drum. Thanks to a closable 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: it is simply held by the frame and then tilted, rolled, or shaken to create very different sounds. Gentle movements conjure up soothing ocean sounds, while more intense movements bring out the roar of waves in a storm. In addition, the Sela Ocean Drum can also be played like a conventional drum by striking the heads with the flat of the hand, the palm of the hand or individual fingers. With separately available mallets or brooms, the sonic repertoire of the Sela Ocean Drum can be further expanded – there are virtually no limits to creativity.
