An ocean drum is a percussion instrument that is designed to create the sound of ocean waves. It typically consists of a round, shallow frame with a drumhead on one or both sides, and small metal balls or beads inside the frame. When tilted back and forth or shaken, the beads move around and create a sound similar to ocean waves.
Ocean drums can come in various sizes, materials, and designs, and can be played with hands or drumsticks. They are often used in sound healing and meditation practices, as well as in music therapy and in musical performances for creating ambient or atmospheric soundscapes.
The sound of the ocean drum can be calming, soothing, and therapeutic, and it is often used to help people relax, reduce stress, and promote feelings of well-being.
