Vegan REMO Plain Ocean Drums

Rolling sound. Continuous motion.

These REMO Ocean Drums offer a soft, flowing field of sound—created through movement rather than striking.

As the beads travel across the internal surface, the sound rises and falls in waves, forming a continuous and evolving texture that is easy to listen to and easy to rest within.

A Fluid and Evolving Voice

The sound is not fixed.

It shifts with each movement—sometimes gentle and quiet, sometimes fuller and more pronounced. The tones blend together, forming a continuous field rather than distinct notes.

Slower movement creates longer, softer waves.

Faster changes bring shorter, more defined motion.

Use in Practice

This is an instrument of subtle control.

In practice, it may support:

• creating a steady, wave-like field of sound
  
• supporting relaxation and quiet attention
  
• working with gradual changes in texture and intensity
  
• introducing movement-based sound into a session
  

It can be played simply—through small changes in angle and motion.

Ways of Playing

• The drum can be approached in different ways:
  
• Held flat and gently tilted to create rolling wave sounds
  
• Moved more quickly to create shorter or more active textures
  
• Played by hand on the head for a more percussive tone
  
• Shaken to introduce a lighter, rhythmic texture
  

Each approach reveals a different quality of sound.

Choosing a Size

Each size offers a slightly different relationship with sound:

16" — softer volume, slightly higher tone, easy to control in smaller spaces
22" — deeper tone, wider range of motion, capable of both quiet and more expansive sound

Both sizes can be played gently or more actively, depending on the setting.

A Practice-Centered Approach

There is no fixed way to play.

A small movement is enough to begin.

From there, the sound follows—rising, falling, and settling in its own time.

Craft & Form

Made with REMO’s synthetic materials, these drums are stable across environments and easy to work with over time.
