This Roosebeck is built in the shaman style: a natural goatskin head stretched and fixed over a heat-bent mulberry frame about 2 inches deep, played with the included leather beater. The head is pretuned, so the drum is ready to play out of the box. The 10 and 12 inch sizes are light and easy to hold for long sessions; the 18 and 22 inch drums have a deeper, longer voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-nav\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn active\" data-panel=\"fd12-sound\"\u003eSound\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"fd12-design\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"fd12-start\"\u003ePlaying\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"fd12-specs\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"fd12-box\"\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper open\" style=\"max-height:600px;\" id=\"fd12-sound\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing a Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger the head, the deeper the tone and the longer it rings.

The 18 and 22 inch drums give the low, sustained voice many players want for meditation and ceremony, and ask a little more of the holding hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper\" id=\"fd12-design\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFixed Goatskin Head, Mulberry Frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is solid mulberry, heated and bent into a hoop, the same way our bodhran frames are made. The goatskin head is stretched and fixed to the frame with no tuning hardware. Fixed-head frame drums are valued for their simple, natural voice; the pitch moves a little with the weather, which is part of the character of a skin drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper\" id=\"fd12-start\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHolding and Playing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the drum upright by the back of the frame with one hand and play with the leather beater in the other. Strike near the center for the deepest tone and toward the rim for a brighter, more articulate sound.

In humid weather it loosens and the voice drops; in dry air it tightens and rises. Keep the drum away from rain, heaters and hot cars. If the head goes slack on a damp day, tune it by warmth: rub the head briskly with your palm, or hold the drum near (never against) a gentle heat source such as a lamp, turning it as you go. The skin tightens as it warms and the pitch comes back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper\" id=\"fd12-specs\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"rb-specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\", 12\", 14\", 18\" or 22\" diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 2 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid mulberry, heated and bent into a hoop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHead\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural goatskin, fixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeather, included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper\" id=\"fd12-box\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything you need to start playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-box-items\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"rb-box-tag\"\u003eFrame Drum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"rb-box-tag\"\u003eLeather Beater\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"rb-cta\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHave questions about this drum?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/frame-drums\"\u003ebrowse all Roosebeck frame drums\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roosebeck","offers":[{"title":"10\"","offer_id":67669968093320,"sku":"FD10","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\"","offer_id":67669968060552,"sku":"FD12","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14\"","offer_id":67669968126088,"sku":"FD14","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\"","offer_id":67669968158856,"sku":"FD18","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22\"","offer_id":67669968191624,"sku":"FD22","price":113.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/1080\/6920\/files\/Roosebeck_Frame_Drum_FD12.jpg?v=1778082836","url":"https:\/\/roosebeck.com\/products\/roosebeck-shaman-frame-drum-goatskin","provider":"Roosebeck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
