What Schools Say

Trusted by hundreds of schools across the UK

"These Ocean Drums are just gorgeous to use. Shut your eyes and you are on the beach, getting your toes wet. I like to use them in a soundscape exercise where we recreate a storm at sea, bring in the rain (Rainsticks), then the turbulent seas using the Ocean Drums, thunder (Thunder Drums and Djembes) and lightening (Cymbal). The storms reaches its peak and returns to gentle playing on the ocean drums. My folks love this activity and we have done it many times. Its a never-complicated passtime that is different every time and people really get into it, focus-wise and creative-wise. Wonderful addition to my instrument collection."

— Tom Chalmers, Rhythm to a T
