This 14-inch model offers an excellent balance between playing comfort, sound presence, and easy transport, while maintaining a tonal depth suited for immersive sessions.
Who This Ritual Drum Is For
This ritual drum is aimed at beginners as well as experienced players seeking an expressive, easy-to-handle, and naturally musical instrument. It is suitable for contexts such as sound healing, yoga, relaxation, as well as tribal atmospheres, acoustic accompaniments, or performances where pulse and texture take precedence over virtuosity.
Features and Innovations
Designed to offer an immediate response, this Ritual Drum emphasizes sound stability and consistency. The cross cord enhances grip and control, while the included beater allows exploration of different sound colors, from round and deep playing to more defined strikes. Its 14-inch size facilitates transport and integration into a percussion setup, both in the studio and in drum circles.
Sound Characteristics
The poplar shell provides a warm and balanced sonic signature, with a soft attack and pleasant projection, particularly suited for repetitive playing and hypnotic pulses. Poplar promotes a "round" sensation, with a present low-midrange that adds body to strikes without harshness.
The goatskin head enriches the sound with an organic, lively, and nuanced texture. It highlights dynamic variations, easily shifting from a felted touch to a more pronounced strike. The result: deep and warm tones, ideal for creating an immersive atmosphere, whether in a sound bath or rhythmic accompaniment.
