What Is an Ocean Drum?
An ocean drum is a unique percussion instrument that creates the sound of rolling waves as it is gently tilted and moved. Unlike traditional drums, ocean drums are not played with rhythm or force. Instead, they produce a calming, wave-like sound that supports relaxation, mindfulness, and sensory regulation.
Ocean drum instruments are widely used in sound healing, meditation practices, classrooms, therapy settings, and wellness spaces. The sound is intuitive and soothing, making ocean drums accessible to beginners, children, and experienced practitioners alike.
