29 Mar 2010

MEINL African Talking Drums are carved into a hourglass shape from a solid piece of Mahogany wood, and decorated with a carved motif. The newest model (ATD-XL) is about 9" x 20". Two hand-selected goatskin heads are spanned with high-quality nylon rope. Traditionally, the talking drum is played beneath one arm, and held against the ribcage. The drum is then squeezed to "bend" the pitch while the other hand employs a curved striker.

new product of the day: FRAME DRUM HOLDER

23 Mar 2010

Sometimes a favorite frame drum just needs to be mounted on a percussion rack. That´s why we designed a compact, light weight frame drum holder that is completely adjustable to fit any frame drum. Four rounded vertical "fingers" slide along individual tracks, and are secured by a knurled knob. This sets the spacing. The frame drum is secured when two spring-loaded screws are tightened so that the vertical fingers grip the frame from inside and out. Set-up and break-down go fast. Steel mounting clamp fits any standard rod.
