Meinl Sonic Energy 20" Synthetic Head Ritual Drum (Moon Phases)

The Meinl Sonic Energy Ritual Drum serves grounding exercises, sound healing practitioners, and percussionists seeking resonant, low-frequency tones from a 20" diameter frame drum. This handcrafted instrument features a True Feel synthetic drumhead – a vegan-friendly alternative to traditional rawhide that maintains authentic warmth and sustain. The dark walnut brown poplar wood frame displays moon phases artwork, connecting rhythmic practice to lunar symbolism. At just 757g, this frame drum offers considerable volume despite its lightweight construction.

The True Feel synthetic head responds like natural skin with none of the tuning instability caused by humidity changes. Poplar wood construction provides structural rigidity while keeping overall weight low enough for extended playing sessions. A cord cross lacing system on the rear ensures secure grip during vertical or horizontal playing positions. The drum produces deep, resonant bass tones that decay slowly – particularly effective for meditative pulse work and ceremonial drumming. Meinl includes a mallet sized to match the 20" head diameter, ready for immediate use.
