Small Hapi Drum Om Mandela- 13x9cm

Product Overview

A Hapi drum carries a tune, not just a beat: the tongues cut into its steel shell are each tuned to a note, so tapping around the top plays a melody. A small Hapi Drum with a detailed mandala-inspired design, centred around the Om symbol. The intricate pattern and balanced layout give it a calm, focused look, making it just as appealing visually as it is to play. Small enough to sit on a shelf or take to a class, it doubles as a quiet instrument to pick up in passing moments.

It produces soft, clear tones that are easy to create, even for beginners. The note layout is intuitive, so you can quickly find simple melodies or just play freely and enjoy the sound.

Compact and lightweight, it’s easy to take anywhere. Comes with mallets and a protective carry bag, so it’s ready to use straight away.
