Guru Drum "Autumn Fairy" | A-minor

Guru Drum "Autumn Fairy" is a large melodic metal drum tuned in A-minor. The combination of wood and metal gives its sound a fuller, richer character and creates a soft, long-fading tone. The surface is adorned with a hand-painted autumn fairy motif - a poetic natural image associated with transformation, gentleness, and the silence of ripening. Thanks to its hand-crafted decoration, the Guru Drum is not only a musical instrument but also a beautiful work of art that is a joy to behold.

It is played primarily with soft mallets. You can play individual tones, melodic motifs, gentle rhythms, or your own improvisation. You can also play gently with your fingers; the sound is then quieter and softer.

Guru Drum "Autumn Fairy" is suitable for personal enjoyment, meditation, relaxation, music therapy, and gentle musical accompaniment. It is supplied including mallets and a bag.

How to play the drum

Place the drum in front of you or on your lap and sound the individual tones with soft mallets. You can play with one mallet or two mallets - slowly, melodically, rhythmically, or freely by ear.

Thanks to the harmonized tones, you can intuitively sound the Guru Drum, search for your own melodic motifs, and gradually develop a feel for touch, rhythm, and dynamics. You can also play with your fingers, but the sound is quieter and less pronounced than when playing with mallets.
