With the MEINL Wave Drums, the brand offers a simple, robust, and musical approach: an expressive instrument, immediate to play, and nuanced enough to create realistic textures of surf, swell, or light rain. Within the range, this 16-inch format strikes an ideal balance between playing comfort, sound depth, and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis MEINL Wave Drum is suitable for both \u003cstrong\u003ebeginners\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eexperienced musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e. As a first percussion instrument, it is very accessible: a simple tilting motion produces an immersive and rewarding sound. For advanced players, it becomes a true sound illustration tool, capable of fine nuances depending on the angle, speed, and way of \"guiding\" the beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding styles and uses, it excels in \u003cstrong\u003eambient music\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecinematic\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003etheatre\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emusical awakening\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eyoga\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003esound therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also finds its place in \u003cstrong\u003eworld music\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic\u003c\/strong\u003e settings, and as a complement to a percussion set to enrich transitions and introductions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key feature of this Wave Drum is its internal system: \u003cstrong\u003esmall steel balls\u003c\/strong\u003e are \u003cstrong\u003esealed between two drumheads\u003c\/strong\u003e. By tilting the instrument, the beads move and create a continuous, organic sound very close to a wave breaking and then retreating. This design offers a stable and consistent response while allowing enough freedom to shape the dynamics (from a gentle breeze to a rougher sea).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother major advantage is the presence of \u003cstrong\u003etwo different drumheads\u003c\/strong\u003e. You have a \u003cstrong\u003esynthetic drumhead\u003c\/strong\u003e on one side and a \u003cstrong\u003enatural goat skin\u003c\/strong\u003e on the other. Practically, this allows you to choose the sound character depending on the context or even change timbre during play without switching instruments: ideal for creating contrasts, doubling atmospheres, or adapting the texture to the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sound of an ocean drum directly depends on the combination of \u003cstrong\u003edrumheads + beads\u003c\/strong\u003e. Here, the steel beads provide a precise texture, with a clear grain and good definition, which helps achieve a readable \"wave\" even at low volume. The slower you tilt, the more the sound stretches and becomes enveloping. By accelerating the tilt, you get a shorter, more energetic wave, or even a sensation of rain or sand depending on the gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esynthetic drumhead\u003c\/strong\u003e generally emphasizes a sharper attack and a more homogeneous output, very useful when you want a clean and controlled ambiance (studio, recording, effects). The \u003cstrong\u003enatural goat skin\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the other hand, offers a more organic touch and often a warmer timbre, with slight irregularities that add relief and realism. Being able to switch from one side to the other provides a wider sonic palette, particularly appreciated for soft accompaniments, transitions, and soundscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eGoat, Synthetic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ehandheld\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eocean drum\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e40.64 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSiam oak\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ecreation of wave sounds and ambient textures\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e35.38 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-sided\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etwo timbres to choose from\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sonic Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360979505427,"sku":"241184","price":113.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/385a8f8fab74cea9eddf3ae72a5cf35adb39670b_MEINL_WD16WB.jpg?v=1789403960","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sonic-energy-wave-drum-sonic-energy-diameter-16-40-6-cm-241184","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
