Introducing our range of ocean drums
The ocean drum is a percussion instrument used to emulate the sound of waves rolling and crashing on the sea. These drums are usually constructed using a wooden frame with a membrane or head tacked on to both open ends. The drums are filled with small metal or plastic ball bearings that roll over the rough surface and produce the seaside sound effect.
Our small range of ocean drums are all manufactured by either Halilit or Percussion Plus and are very enjoyable for young players and small children. From our early years range we have the MP486 and the MP483 which are both great options for toddlers and nursery age children. The drums are easy to hold, brightly coloured and create soft wave sounds.
Fun designs for young players
One of our top choices for young players is the MP486 Halilit early years ocean drum which has a very fun ocean themed decoration. This musical toy helps to develop motor skills, creativity and hand-eye coordination, making it a good choice for anyone who wants their child to experience the joys of the sensory world of music-making.
Our Percussion Plus range of ocean drums include the PP346, available in two sizes, the PP301 with ocean design and the PP314 which has a wooden frame and attractive decorative ribbon. They are all great options for schools and make a great addition to any percussion set.
