Detail 01
22-inch diameter
Large head area lowers the fundamental pitch and lengthens sustain. This is the deep end of frame drums.

RemoTar Frame Drum Goat Stripe 22 In x 3 In
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 22-inch tar: a large, shallow single-headed frame drum played by hand. For percussionists wanting deep, open low tones without a bass drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Hand percussionists adding low end to acoustic or world-music groups
- Drum circles where a wide, carrying low tone matters
- Sound healing and meditation sessions needing long, open decay
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting sharp attack and articulation from a small drum
- Anyone needing a portable drum for tight stages or travel
- Kit drummers looking for a stick-played instrument
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 shell keeps the tone open and airy rather than boomy, and lets the inside hand shape pitch.
Detail 03
Goat stripe head graphic
Cosmetic striping across the playing surface. It reads as a natural skin under stage lights but does not affect tone.
Detail 04
Frame drum format
Held vertically by the frame and struck with fingers and thumb. No stand, no pedal, no hardware to set up.
Detail 05
$149.99
Entry to mid pricing for a drum this size. Cost sits in head area rather than hardware or finish.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Large diameter needs a soft case; a 22-inch frame is easy to knock into doorways
- 02Playing position is one hand inside, one hand striking — practice the grip first
- 03Fingertip technique on a 22-inch head takes reach; smaller hands may prefer 18 inches
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do you hold a 22-inch tar?
Vertically, gripping the frame with your non-dominant hand from behind, thumb over the rim. That hand also mutes and bends pitch while the other strikes.
02Is a tar the same as a bodhran?
No. A tar is played with bare fingers and thumb on the head. A bodhran is played with a stick called a tipper and has a deeper shell.
03Can I tune it?
Tone is shaped mainly by where you strike and how the inside hand presses the head, not by turning hardware.
04Is 22 inches too big to start on?
It is a lot of head to cover. It rewards reach and open-hand strokes; tighter rim work is easier on smaller frames.
