RemoTar Frame Drum Goat Brown 18 In x 3 In
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-inch Remo tar — a large, shallow frame drum played with the hands. For percussionists who want deep, open frame-drum tones without a snare or jingles.
Strong match
Who this is for
- World and folk percussion sections needing a low frame voice
- Drum circles where a big, carrying tone matters
- Studio work layering deep hand-drum tones under acoustic tracks
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting jingles or a tambourine-style jangle
- Anyone needing a compact drum for travel or tight stages
- Kit drummers looking for a stick-played drum
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
3-inch depth
Shallow frame lets your supporting hand reach behind the head to mute and bend pitch while playing.
Detail 03
Frame drum, no jingles
Pure drum tone with nothing rattling, so it sits cleanly under other percussion and records dry.
Detail 04
Brown goat-tone head
Cosmetic finish; it does not change how the drum tunes or sounds.
Detail 05
Around $121
Entry-to-mid pricing for an 18-inch frame drum — a step above starter models, below handmade skin drums.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nothing else is included — no bag, stand, or beater
- 02An 18-inch frame is bulky; plan case or transport space
- 03Frame drums are played seated or braced — expect a learning curve holding it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this played with the hands or a beater?
Hands. A tar is struck with fingers and palm, with the back hand supporting the frame and shaping pitch.
02How deep does an 18-inch tar sound?
Low and open. The big head gives a boomy center note, with brighter tones as you move toward the rim.
03Does it come with a bag?
No. Only the drum is included.
04Can I mute or bend the pitch?
Yes. The shallow 3-inch frame lets your holding hand press the underside of the head to raise pitch or dampen it.
