RTS25SK Chiadero

The Shake Drum.

A drum, a shaker, world first!

Our Chiadero rethinks tradition. It breaks new ground in frame drum design and bridges the gap between classic frame drums, panderos, dafs, tambourines, and shakers: the Chiadero impresses with its versatility, exquisite craftsmanship, and authentic sound aesthetics—made in Germany. Developed in collaboration with Tomas Millner & Danilo Raimondo.

At first glance, it appears to be a classic frame drum made of multi-layered beech wood, but when played, it reveals its surprising feature— an integrated shaker sound that blends harmoniously with the warm, natural tone of the hand-selected goatskin. This creates a sound spectrum that combines depth, movement, and expression – ideal for solo performances, studio recordings, and live sets.

The drums are available in diameters of 40 cm and 25 cm. The hand-selected goatskins can be tuned using tuning screws integrated into the frame, allowing for the finest nuances in sound and volume.
