## Description

Product Description The MEINL Sea Drums create the soothing sounds of the surf, with a great new feature: we sealed the little steel balls between two drum heads, one synthetic and the other natural goatskin. This means you can choose between two completely different timbres within the same drum. A sealable filling port allows you to control the amount of steel balls inside. Set Contains: 1 x MEINL FD20SD

Review: I remember Meinl products from band class years ago so I knew this product would be good quality but I had no idea how great this sound would be! It is very loud, it drowns out outside noise well (when using indoors) & my clients say they “really do feel like an ocean wave is washing over” them. Takes a little practice to get the hang of it but the quality is really nice! My only preference is if they offered a vegan option but otherwise I love it!!
Review: I love this drum. It's well made and sounds amazing. I think the different sized beads really enhance the quality of the sound it produces.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: Hello!  They are made in Indonesia.

**Q: What is the proper way to stop and maintain this? Dies it come with a carrying case?**
A: Not sure what you mean by proper way to stop and maintain this.  I just swirl the beads in the drum to make wave sounds.  It did not come with a carrying case so I ordered a cymbal carrying case.

**Q: What is the difference between the  20" and 22" inch drums?**
A: It’s 2 inches bigger but the same sound. The have the 22” & the 16” I like them both but the 22” does not easily fit into suitcases when  traveling so the 16 is perfect

**Q: can you play it like a normal drum also - can it have dual purpose?**
A: Yes and no....Like a normal hand drum with a beater?  Not likely...  but you can play it as a frame drum but it is not able to be tune.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***. on 6 July 2022*

I ordered the large 22” drum. The sound is incredible! With a large surface area, and a generous quantity of 2 sizes and materials of balls inside the drum it’s capable of a wide range of sounds from very delicate slow movement of a few balls rolling across a large surface to massive wave crashing sounds! The feature allowing you to add or subtract the amount of balls in the drum as well as experiment with balls of different sizes and weights is wonderful. And I love the clear membrane allowing me to watch the motion of the balls as I play the drum. An excellent sonic device for altering one’s state of consciousness 🥰
