HD-8512-00 Fiberskyn Frame Drum, 12"

The Remo Fiberskyn 3 Frame Drum has a wide body shell and is provided with a thumb notch and four holes located around the circumference of the ACOUSTICON shell. The four holes are placed in a manner allowing the use of many materials such as rope, string, leather or vinyl strips creating a handle to suspend the drum, which increases the projection when struck with a mallet or hand. All frame drums are equipped with a Remo drumhead and are manufactured with Remo’s patented ACOUSTICON shell that produce the same tonal characteristics found on traditional wood shell drums with excellent projection and enhanced low-pitched fundamentals. The results - the Remo frame drum is light weight, durable, weather-resistant and easy to play which means you’ll have countless hours jamming on your new instrument. The Frame drum originates in the Middle East and is among the oldest of drums. Frame drums can be played using a traditional style with fingers striking the edge of the drum, producing a “tak” tone. It can also be held with one hand and played with a soft mallet or straddled between the knees like a bongo drum. Whether you are a professional drummer or just want to have fun at a drum circle with family or friends, the Remo frame drum will meet your highest expectations for sound quality and durability.
