The Poppy is a flower that represents so much, and with its classic poppy red petals and central black drum, this instrument will stand out both in terms of look and sound. Adding a Poppy Petal Drum to your outdoor space is a surefire way to make a lasting impression.
Poppies are a well-known and well-established symbol for remembrance the world over. They are sold by veteran's associations, including the American and British Legions, to commemorate civilians and military personnel who lost their lives in wars and raise money for servicemen, servicewomen, and their families.
Each 'Petal Drum' contains a small (10"/250mm) Babel Drum encased within specific-shaped high-pressure laminate (HPL) petals. The flower heads are securely mounted to a stainless-steel frame or ready to be wall-mounted and come supplied with soft, flexible mallets specifically designed to produce delightfully soft, soothing tones.
Adding a hint of happiness to any space, Petal Drums look gorgeous on their own or with any combination of our instruments—a wise choice to add another dynamic to your outdoor space or playground quickly.
- A Akebono is a traditional and well-known Japanese scale with a distinct sound. Easy and intuitive to learn and ideal for improvisation and constructing melodies
- Like the popular wildflower, our Poppy Drum is robust and hardy
- Soft mallets are provided to produce gentle, ethereal sounds
- Red poppies are often linked to remembrance and hope
Why not create your own Petal Drum arrangement by adding a Forget-Me-Not, Sunflower, or Daisy, each with its character and tuning?
