Guru Drum "Tree of Life" | A C D E F G A c

Guru Drum "Tree of Life" is a melodic metal drum with 8 tones in A C D E F G A c tuning. It has a pleasant bright sound, rich resonance, and shorter reverberation, which allows for clearer melodic and rhythmic playing. The surface is adorned with a hand-painted tree of life motif - a symbol of connection, growth, and life force, which connects earth and sky in various cultures. 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, and even livelier rhythmic passages. You can also play gently with your fingers; the sound is then quieter and softer.

Guru Drum "Tree of Life" is suitable for personal enjoyment, meditation, relaxation, music therapy, group playing, 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 - individual tones, melodic motifs, gentle rhythms, and your own improvisation.

The shorter reverberation helps ensure that the tones overlap less, so it is also possible to play rhythmically and livelier. You can also play with your fingers, but the sound is quieter and softer.
