Meinl Sonic Energy Wave Drum 18" Walnut Brown Frame WD18WB

Meinl Sonic Energy Wave Drum 18" Walnut Brown Frame WD18WB

Create immersive ocean-inspired soundscapes with the Meinl Sonic Energy Wave Drum. Designed to recreate the soothing sound of rolling surf, this versatile frame drum combines natural materials, adjustable response, and expressive playability for meditation, sound therapy, relaxation, and creative sound exploration.

By gently holding the drum flat and moving it from side to side, the internal steel beads travel across the playing surface to produce flowing wave sounds that evoke the rhythm and movement of the ocean. The result is a calming and immersive sound experience suitable for wellness spaces, sound baths, classrooms, performances, and personal relaxation.

The dual-head design features one hand-selected natural goat skin head and one synthetic head, allowing you to choose between two distinct tonal characteristics. A sealable filling port provides control over the number of steel beads inside, enabling you to customise the depth, duration, and intensity of the wave effect.

The larger 18" diameter provides a broader playing surface and enhanced resonance, creating a rich and immersive wave effect. Crafted from Siam Oak and finished in Walnut Brown, the Wave Drum offers excellent acoustic properties while remaining lightweight and comfortable to hold.
