Tina Gronert
Tina Gronert focuses on rhythmic-musical work with people with disabilities. As a rhythm teacher, integrative sound teacher and, above all, community musician, she teaches basic skills and abilities on various percussion instruments. It is important to her to take all participants in the courses and workshops, with their different prerequisites and needs, seriously as music creators and to recognize and develop interests, passions and talents.
The field of community music - which is still very young in Germany - comes from the UK and enables all people to participate in cultural life and creativity through the basic principles of inclusion and musical participation. Everyone can make music! Community music is about active and creative music-making in groups, in which individual participants are consciously seen, encouraged and supported according to their existing needs and embedded in the group process. Community musicians, like Tina, see themselves as facilitators who support and guide the group musically.
In her rhythmic-musical work, it is very important to Tina to use instruments that have a good sound and a pleasant and natural feel in addition to their aesthetic and clearly defined appearance. This appeals to several senses at the same time. The percussion instruments she uses in the community music workshops, such as cajons, shorty shakers, claves or circle drums, combine all of this and can be adapted to the needs of the target group as far as possible. Sound instruments such as the Log Drum, Wah-Wah Tubes, the Coast Drum and the Infinity Rain Tower also enrich Tina's percussive range.

With our tunable Coast Drum, a regular playable frame drum is now available from Schlagwerk. The filling simulates the rolling of waves on the beach or the roaring surf on the coastal cliffs. The drum with a diameter of 50 cm, goatskin and mesh material is perfect for use in the therapeutic field, for sound baths, meditations or in classical frame drum play. The finely tuned mixture of glass and steel balls in between the natural skin and mesh material can also be adjusted in quantity by means of a side screw if necessary.
The Coast Drum is also known as a Ocean Drum, Sea Drum, or Wave Drum.

Inclusion meets sound art – Made in Germany.
The RC400 Rollin Cajon is more than an instrument – it is an expression of freedom, rhythm, and participation. Developed in collaboration with Community Musician Tina Gronert for people with physical disabilities and ideal for wheelchair users, this inclusive cajon combines precise German craftsmanship with musical passion.
Made from crosslaminated birch, the RC400 impresses with its rich bass resonance and clearly defined snare effect, which even professional percussionists love. The narrow, horizontal design and individually adjustable wedges ensure optimal comfort when playing in a seated position. The strap ensures a secure hold—even with limited mobility—and makes the RC400 a reliable companion in music education, when making music with people with physical impairments, as well as in geragogy and music therapy.
Experience what inclusion sounds like—authentic, lively, professional.
