Sela SEOD40 Ocean Drum 40 cm (16")!

The Ocean Drum, also known as the sea drum, is a fascinating percussion instrument that brings the magic of the ocean into the player’s hands. Its uniqueness lies in the special construction that allows you to acoustically mimic the sounds of waves and tides. A gentle surf roar, crashing waves in stormy seas, and everything in between – with this drum, you get a musical ticket to the world of the seas.

Sela Ocean Drums come in five different sizes and stand out for their innovative design. They consist of a round beech wood frame, which, unlike many other hand and frame drums, is covered on both sides. Inside the Ocean Drum are many small metal and plastic beads that dance across the head when the drum is moved, creating rustling effects reminiscent of ocean waves. Since one side is covered with natural skin and the other with plastic, the Sela Ocean Drum can produce two completely different tonal colors. Thanks to a lockable opening in the frame, the amount of beads—and thus the volume and response of the drum—can be individually adjusted.

The playing technique of the Sela Ocean Drum is as impressive as it is simple: it is held by the frame and then tilted, rolled, or shaken to produce a wide range of sounds. Gentle movements conjure soothing ocean sounds, while more intense motions evoke the roar of waves in a storm. Additionally, the Sela Ocean Drum can be played like a conventional drum by striking the heads with the flat hand, palm, or individual fingers. With separately available mallets or brushes, the sonic palette of the Sela Ocean Drum can be further expanded—creativity knows almost no bounds.

The Sela Ocean Drum impresses with its meditative sound, offering a unique sonic experience for both beginners and seasoned musicians. It is an extremely versatile instrument that can be used in various contexts: the calming sounds of the Sela Ocean Drum are balm for the soul, making it ideal for meditation and relaxation exercises. They can help reduce stress and induce a meditative state. In music therapy, the Ocean Drum is often used to promote relaxation and emotional healing.

Its ease of use makes it accessible to people of all ages. Musicians appreciate the versatility of Sela Ocean Drums, as they provide unique sound effects and atmosphere both in live performances and studio recordings. Moreover, the Sela Ocean Drum is the perfect instrument to introduce children in music lessons to the fascinating world of percussion and the joy of making music.
