Hand Drums

Hand drums have existed for thousands of years, originating in various cultures worldwide for ritualistic, communal, and musical purposes. These drums are played using hands rather than sticks and are made from wood, metal, or synthetic materials with natural or synthetic drumheads. Prominent manufacturers include Remo (Fiberskyn Series), LP (Aspire), Meinl (Artisan Edition), and Toca (Freestyle). Used in world music, drum circles, and contemporary performances, hand drums provide rich, organic tones suitable for various rhythmic expressions.
