Synthetic head and natural goatskin head
The two drumheads provide the instrument’s two distinct timbres.

Independent shopping perspective
The 20-inch MEINL Sonic Energy Wave Drum is a double-headed percussion instrument that offers two distinct voices: one synthetic head and one natural goatskin head. Sealed steel balls move between the heads to create its surf- and wave-like sound character. A sealable filling port lets you change the amount of balls inside, giving you direct control over that internal fill. Finished in walnut brown, it is a focused percussion piece built around this adjustable wave effect.
