SAVITA Drum | Water Element

SAVITA Drum "Water Element" is a double-sided melodic metal drum with 20 tones in two tunings. One side is tuned in D-minor, the other in C-major. Simply turn the drum over to transition from a softer minor tuning to a more open major character. The surface is adorned with a hand-crafted design inspired by the water element. The water motif relates to flow, gentleness, variability, and relaxation. Thanks to its hand-crafted decoration, the SAVITA Drum is not only a musical instrument but also a beautiful work of art that is a joy to behold.

The drum is made of carbon steel and, thanks to its two playing sides, offers wide possibilities for melodic playing, intuitive improvisation, gentle rhythms, and meditative accompaniment.

It is played primarily with soft mallets. You can also play gently with your fingers; the sound is then quieter and softer. SAVITA Drum is suitable for meditation, relaxation, music therapy, home playing, and gentle musical accompaniment.

Supplied with 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, or your own improvisation.

The instrument has two playing sides. By turning it over, you switch from D-minor to C-major, thus obtaining two distinct musical characters in one drum. You can also play with your fingers, but the sound is quieter and less pronounced than when playing with mallets.
