Walnut Meditation Drum — D Minor Forest Spirit
Carved from sustainably harvested American walnut, this meditation drum resonates with rich, earthy tones in D Minor — a key traditionally associated with introspection and emotional depth. The natural wood grain makes every piece visually unique.

Finished with a non-toxic plant-based oil that highlights the natural grain. Dimensions: 14 inches diameter, 7 inches tall, 2.8 kg. Includes rubber-tipped mallets and a linen storage pouch. Skill Level: Beginner.

Care and Playing Guide
Walnut responds beautifully to finger playing — try alternating between mallet strikes and gentle fingertip taps to discover the full tonal palette. The wood naturally warms with body heat, subtly enriching the sound during longer sessions.
Keep your drum out of direct sunlight and apply the included conditioning oil every few months to maintain its luster and resonance.
