Detail 01
18 in. diameter
Wide enough for several pairs of hands around the rim at the same time. That's the entire point of the format.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-inch floor drum built for several children to play at once. Buy it for classrooms and group circles, not for solo hand drumming.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classroom circles where three or four kids play together
- Music therapy and group sessions needing one shared drum
- Floor-level play for kids too small for djembes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Solo players wanting djembe or conga voice
- Anyone needing something that travels — it's 18 inches wide
- Per-child buying; it costs several small hand drums
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
8 in. depth
Shallow for its width, so the sound is broad and short rather than deep and booming.
Detail 03
Gathering drum format
Sits low on the floor at kid height. Nothing to mount, adjust, or raise.
Detail 04
Played by hand
Palms and fingers. Hard sticks on a wide shallow head just get loud and blunt.
Detail 05
$109.95
Priced as one shared instrument for a room, not as something you buy per child.
Detail 06
Kids Percussion line
Sized and finished for children rather than being adult gear scaled down.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Clear 18 inches of floor plus room for kids seated around it
- 02Hand play is the plan; soft mallets are a separate purchase
- 03Too wide for a small child to carry — an adult moves it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many kids can play it at once?
Roughly three or four around an 18-inch rim, depending on their size. It's designed for a group, which is why it's low and wide.
02Is it played with sticks?
Hands first. Soft mallets work if you want more volume, but they're bought separately, and hard beaters overplay a wide shallow head.
03Can adults play it?
Yes, but it sits low and reads as a group drum. An adult wanting a solo hand drum should look at a djembe or conga instead.
04How is this different from the small hand drums?
Size and purpose. This is one shared 18-inch drum for a whole circle; the small hand drums are one-per-child instruments.
