The Besar Ocean Drum is a handcrafted percussion instrument designed to recreate the soothing and immersive sounds of the ocean. Featuring a decorative geometric pattern with ribbon edging, it combines visual detail with expressive sound design. One side is made from natural animal hide and the other from PVC, allowing a range of tones from soft rolling waves to fast, rain-like or hailstorm effects depending on how it is played. To use, simply hold the drum level and gently tilt it side to side to control the movement of the internal beads. Ideal for sound therapy, meditation, and atmospheric performance, each drum is partially handmade, making every piece unique in colour and pattern. As the largest version in the range, it delivers a powerful and full ocean sound.
