Sound and character
The 45 cm frame produces drums with a deep, full fundamental. The larger surface moves more air, giving a saturated, noticeably bodied sound. A particularly good choice for group ceremonies, sound therapy work, or any setting where greater volume is needed.
How to use
This size is an established base for professional ceremonial and shamanic drums. The strong four-layer beech frame holds the pull of the large hide surface for the long term without warping. Use oil or carving to give your instrument a personal character.
Why this product
If you want to build a serious, deep-voiced drum, this size offers the ideal balance between volume and handling. Reliable Feeltone quality you can lean on years from now.
Care tips
- Wear gloves — the sawn surface may have splinters.
- Sand the contact area for the hide smooth.
- Oiling gives a better-looking surface and protects the wood from humidity changes.
