Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 22 in. Remo frame drum with a Fiberskyn head, 2-1/2 in. deep. For hand-drum players who want a big, low frame drum that ignores humidity.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drum circles and worship groups needing a deep, carrying frame-drum voice
- Rooms and outdoor sessions where a natural skin would go loose
- Players who want low tones from one hand while the other strikes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone set on the feel and overtones of real animal skin
- Players wanting a small, fast frame drum for intricate finger work
- Kit drummers looking for a stand-mounted drum — this is held or braced
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
2-1/2 in. depth
Shallow shell keeps it a frame drum, not a tom. Tone comes mostly from head size, with a quick decay.
Detail 03
Fiberskyn head
Synthetic head made to look and feel like calfskin. Warm, dry tone and it holds tuning through humidity and temperature swings.
Detail 04
One-handed hold
A 22 in. frame at arm's length gets heavy. Most players brace it on a knee or against the body for longer pieces.
Detail 05
Walnut finish
Cosmetic. The shell color has no bearing on tone.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No mallet, beater, bag or stand included — budget for a soft mallet
- 02Large frame drums need a padded bag or careful storage to protect the head
- 03Tone changes a lot with where you strike: edge for tone, center for a dead thump
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to tune it or worry about weather?
The Fiberskyn head is synthetic, so it holds pitch through humidity and temperature changes far better than a natural skin. That's the main reason to choose it.
02Do I play it with hands or a mallet?
Either. Hands give more articulation at the edge; a soft mallet brings out the low fundamental and more volume. No mallet is included.
03Is 22 inches too big for a beginner?
It's a big drum to hold. If you plan to stand and play for long stretches, expect to brace it on a knee or leg.
04How deep is the drum?
2-1/2 inches. That's a true frame drum depth, so it speaks and decays quickly rather than ringing like a tom.
