Ocean drums are percussive musical instruments - drums that mimic the sound of sea waves. They are made from a round wooden frame with a transparent or opaque membrane on the top and bottom.
Inside the drum, small metal balls move freely.
To play the ocean drum, tilt or rotate the drum forward and backward, causing the balls to roll across the drum's membrane. The rolling balls create a sound similar to the gentle, rhythmic lapping of ocean waves. The instrument is often used in music therapy, meditation and as a sound effect in various music genres.
You can also play this drum by hitting the drum's membrane with your palms or fingers. This way, you will create additional sounds.
The Ocean Drum has a soothing sound, which makes it popular for relaxation and also adds an atmospheric touch to music.
