FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
I’m a beginner. Can I play on it?
Sure! It's a completely intuitive drum. This will suit everyone, even for children. You don't have to know the notes. Thanks to wide selection of harmonic scales - everyone will be able to choose an instrument for themselves.
Therapy: 15-20 minutes playing per day will give boost of energy, relieve stress and fatigue, also help to relax.
How to choose the scale?
Main rule is: Trust Your Intuition.
We recommend relying on your hearing and feeling when listening to an instrument.
Try to get away from making choices with mind, rely on your heart.
You can find the sound samples of each scale in the product card.
*Most popular for beginners - Celtic Minor.
What’s difference between model sizes?
Main rule is: The bigger size - the deeper sound. But it has to balance for you as the larger size adds weight. You can choose between 28, 38 or 48cm - All 3 sizes are in stock.
We also sew convenient cases that will allow travel with your instrument easily.
There is no best size - each is good in its own area! Choose the size of instrument that suits best exactly for you.
Does the colour / coating affect sound?
The sound is affected by many factors, such as geometry of the shells, the mark of steel and even width of the sound zone.If you like an instrument with a textured coating - of course, micro thickness of coating will add a little "dryness" to drum vibrations while a clean surface will be more ringing. But this is a very insignificant difference and should not affect your choice. The sound meets our high standards - you can choose the color and style that suits you best. Sound quality comes first.
