Round Soft Rabbit Beater

Soft contact. Deep tone.

The Round Soft Rabbit Beater offers a gentle, cushioned contact that draws out the deeper voice of the drum.

With its soft surface and light weight, the tone leans toward warmth and fullness—allowing the sound to settle without sharpness.

A Warm and Rounded Voice

The contact is quiet and yielding.

Lower tones emerge more fully, while higher overtones are softened. The result is a sound that feels cohesive and easy to stay with. Each strike opens into a steady, rounded tone.

Use in Practice

This beater is well suited for slower, more spacious playing.

In practice, it may support:

• bringing forward the deeper bass tones of the drum
  
• softening higher frequencies for a more unified sound
  
• creating a steady, calming rhythm
  
• working with a lighter, more responsive touch
  

It allows the drum to speak without force—meeting it gently, and letting the tone develop on its own.

Craft & Form

This beater is made by a shamanic instrument maker in Oregon, shaped through an ongoing relationship with natural materials and sound.

The rabbit fur head creates a soft interface with the drum, while the lightweight form allows for ease and sensitivity in movement.

Each piece carries subtle variation, shaped by the materials and the hand that makes it.
