Materials of the Drum and What's Included in the Set

100% Vegan Instrument 

• The wooden frame part of the drum is light weight and strong, made from many layers of veneer.
  
• The handle is fixed within the rope giving the possibility for the entire body of the drum to vibrate – this is important in making a deeper sounding drum.
  
• For the membrane, a special kind of plastic is used to produce a drum which is durable and gives a great sound.
  
• A stick for playing (shaman beater) is included in the set, made from acacia or linden wood. For the soft material, vegan faux fur (synthetic wool) is used.

Water resistant, stable and consistent sound at any temperature 

Play outdoors – rain, fog or shine. Your vegan membrane is safe from the effects of the weather. You don’t have to worry about the temperature, in contrast to a deer or goatskin drum which is susceptible to sound changes in temperature. These vegan drums will have a good sound anytime and anywhere.

How to Tune your Vegan Hand Drum to the Note or Tension You Want

These drums have a well thought out and well-made tuning system that is also very simple to use. You can make the sound lower or higher as you wish, to a precise note. 

Tuning your drum

On the back side of the drum body there are screw-bolts installed. These bolts regulate the tension of the membrane and keep it in the required position, and you can regulate their position with a 3 mm hex key.  

The whole process is very simple. Screw one bolt a little bit (quarter turn) and then pass onto the next one until one complete circle of the bolts is made. Continue in the same way until you get the best sound for you.

If you screw the bolts clockwise, the membrane gets more tension, and the sound becomes higher.

If you screw the bolts in a counterclockwise direction, the membrane gets less tension and the sound becomes lower, deeper bass.

It is also possible to tune the drum to an exact note – for this, you need a tuning app and there are many good and free downloads to choose from.

These vegan drums have quite a large tonal range.

Is it possible to break the membrane?

Take care to not force the turn when trying to get bigger tension – screw the bolts one by one, and turn each bolt only a quarter or half turn each time.  It is important to have close to the same tension in each screw. These drums have been tested by subjecting a maximal tension to see if it's possible to break the membrane. It did not break, the membrane is too strong. There is almost no chance to break the membrane. However, be careful and don't use too much force – keep the sound optimal and don't make it too high.
