Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Originating from a lineage of millennia-old percussion instruments found around the Mediterranean and the Middle East, the frame drum has endured through the ages thanks to its simplicity and expressive power. The RTS 62 model adopts a contemporary approach: an instrument faithful to the aesthetics of traditional frames but equipped with a modern tuning system that broadens its uses on stage, in the studio, and in education. Within the world of tunable frame drums, this 60 cm format represents a large model designed for the low register and projection.
Who This Frame Drum Is For
Ideal for beginners seeking an immediately inspiring and adaptable instrument, it will also appeal to intermediate and expert percussionists looking for a powerful frame drum for world music, folk, contemporary music, ambient, musical theater, or sound design. Its crossbar-free maneuverability facilitates right-hand/left-hand techniques, finger rolls, "snaps," and mallet playing for cinematic textures.
