Sound and character
The 55 cm is the deepest, most powerful round model of the Feeltone family. The voice is monumental, like a deep breath, almost physically filling the room. When you play this drum, you feel the resonant body beneath the skin and the overtones living within the long decay.
How to use
- Large ceremonies, lead drum
- Stage and performance use
- Serious sound therapy spaces as a deep foundation
- Larger outdoor drum circles
Why this product
If you want the greatest volume, deepest tone and strongest room presence in the Feeltone cowhide family, the 55 cm model is your choice. This is a ceremonial instrument for special occasions.
Care tips
- The skin tension reacts strongly to humidity – keep in a stable, dry space.
- A brief warm-up (hand or gentle air) before playing yields cleaner, ceremonial tone.
- Play on a stand or rested in your lap.
- Soft, deep strokes bring out its full character.
- A padded case is strongly recommended for transport.
