Meinl FD22SD Sea Drum African Brown

The MEINL Sea Drum 22 inches (56 cm) is a professional hand percussion instrument that produces authentic ocean wave sounds through its innovative double-head design. This hand drum features steel balls sealed between two drumheads – one synthetic and one natural goat skin – allowing musicians to choose between two different tonal qualities of the same instrument. The natural goat skin head generates warm, organic tones, while the synthetic head offers consistent, weather-resistant performance. A sealable filling port enables precise control over the amount of steel balls inside, allowing for adjustment of the intensity and duration of the wave sounds. Made from Siam oak, this 56 cm diameter drum provides excellent durability and acoustic properties. The carefully selected materials and precise craftsmanship ensure reliable performance for both studio recordings and live performances. This hand percussion instrument is ideal for musicians seeking authentic ocean wave effects, meditation music, sound therapy applications, or unique atmospheric textures across various music genres. The double-head configuration makes it versatile for different playing techniques and musical contexts while maintaining the characteristic Sea Drum sound quality for which MEINL instruments are known. With its professional construction and innovative design features, this percussion instrument delivers consistent, high-quality ocean wave sounds suitable for serious musicians and audio professionals.
