Meinl Sonic Energy Hand Drum: 16" Woven Synthetic Head (Walnut Brown)

The Meinl Sonic Energy Hand Drum brings traditional frame drum design into the modern era with a 16" woven synthetic head and lightweight Siam Oak shell. This instrument responds to the needs of sound healers, meditation practitioners, and therapeutic musicians who require consistent tonal response regardless of environmental conditions. The walnut brown finish complements the natural acoustic character of the 40.64 cm diameter frame, which weighs approximately 880 grams for extended playing sessions without fatigue.

The woven synthetic head delivers weather–resistant performance and stable tuning that animal skin simply cannot match in varied humidity and temperature. Siam Oak (Hevea brasiliensis) provides the shell material, chosen for its resonant properties and ergonomic shaping that places fingers naturally on the playing surface. The vegan–friendly construction uses no animal products while maintaining rich harmonic content. The lightweight wooden frame offers exceptional projection relative to its mass, making this drum equally responsive to soft fingertip touches and stronger hand strikes across the full 16" diameter.
