Independent shopping perspective
MEINL’s 18-inch Sonic Energy Wave Drum is a two-headed percussion instrument built around two distinct timbres. Sealed steel balls sit between its heads, creating a soothing wave-like effect reminiscent of steady surf and breaking waves. One side uses a synthetic head and the other natural goatskin, giving the instrument its two contrasting voices. A sealable port lets you control the amount of steel balls inside, so the drum’s internal filling can be set to your preference.
