Arabian, Asian, Indian and Irish frame drums serve
as the traditional examples for our drums. They are
covered with natural goat skin and are characterised
by sounds in the upper tone levels. The frame is made
of multi-layered Beechwood. Our frame drums reward the
player with warm and rich basses when played in a traditional
manner. Striking the drum on its frame underscores the
unbelievable dynamics of these instruments with high
and singing tones.

variety of sound and glissando possibilities
due to its special jingle combination. The two
gaps in the frame guarantee a firm grip and
optimal handling of the riqq.

TAM Tamburello
Goat skin, 14 jingle pairs, Ø 30 cm / approx.
12“
he components of this tamburello may give you
an idea of its full sound impact: 6-ply glued
Beechwood frame with a height of 75mm and 8
integrated tuning screws, high-quality goat
skin and a total of 14 jingle pairs (7 double
sets). The grip hole in the frame guarantees
comfortable handling. Of course, a tuning key
is included.

DEF Def
Goat skin, extra light-weight frame drum,
Ø 40 cm / approx. 16“
Schlagwerk has expanded its range of frame drums
with the addition of the new Def. The construction
of the frame (6-ply glued Beechwood, 85 mm in
height) reduces the weight noticeably. Not only
does this make for better handling, but also
for a much more pronounced sustain.
RT
BEN Bendir
Goat skin, with snare strings,
Ø 40 cm/ approx. 16“
The Bendir is an especially popular frame drum
used in oriental music. The construction of
the frame is similar to the Def, but a grip
hole in the cross support and snare strings
attached to the skin inside the drum make all
the difference. The typical Bendirlike snare
effect is produced by the four strings.
The double skin technique is a rarely used option
in the construction of natural skin frame drums. The
result is quite interesting: the double-layered skin
produces very controlled and distinctive tones, inviting
the player to experiment with differentiating tensions.
The Freehand Drum can be played with the drum clamped
between the legs.
The Circle Drum is a great sounding, easy to play
frame drum with a natural skin head. Because of the
light-weight construction: Ø 50 cm = 700 g,
Ø 45 cm = 600 g, Ø 40 cm = 500 g, Ø
35 cm = 300 g it‘s especially good for use in
Drum Circles or playing for a long time with one hand!
The multiply Beechwood frame is covered with a tensioned,
sturdy goat skin. The crossed belts help maintain
light and sure handling.

Ø 80 cm, cowhide, tunable, on a sturdy
three-footed stand, 1 pair MA 107
A carefully chosen cowhide ensures a warm, energetic
sound. The Table Drum is used successfully in
all areas of therapeutic treatment programmes
(music therapy, psychomotor, speech therapy)
and in rhythmic and musical education. The Table

and can be played at three different heights
while either sitting or standing. It is especially
suited for group activities.
The Gomé-Bass is, without exaggeration, one
of the most unusual and original West African musical
instruments. The Schlagwerk Gomé is modelled
on the Ghanaian bass drum, which provides the rhythmic
basis for almost all music styles of the fishermen
of the Ga tribe. This tunable drum can be played with
hands or soft mallets while sitting on it with the
skin facing front. The pitch can be modified, respectively
tuned higher, to create djembé-like sounds.
