Overview
A beginner or a yoga teacher gets a navy blue drum made of coated stainless steel, with a zippered bag. The sound hole underneath can be sealed with a silicone plug, and silicone feet stop it from slipping.
It is ready to play on a flat surface or a lap, and its tone is described as handpan-like and meditative. Eight notes keep it simple but short on range.
Who it's for
Yoga and sound healing practitioners, classrooms and hobbyists get an approachable instrument that carries easily. Players needing a wide note range should look at larger drums.

Performance notes
Eight steel tongues tuned in two octaves ring when struck by fingers or mallets, and the sound hole at the bottom projects the tone. Sealing the hole with the silicone plug gives a more compact sound.
