          To ease your choice, we’ve decided to make it all clear for you! Read this guide before while searching for a rav drum for sale and choose the RAV drum of your dream.

          Why is it so hard to choose one?

          All RAVs are high quality steel drums. All thanks to our patented technology, RAVs create a mellow and tuneful sound, comparing to an average tank drum. Whether you opt for a classic handpan or searching for a steel tongue drum for sale we do our best to provide you with the best options. All RAVs are made stricktly following the brand quality and design standards. However, they all differ in tuning. If you are not that good at musical theory here’s a short background info for you.

          When choosing the exact RAV you can see a letter in its title – from A to G. This letter refers to the drum scale. The letter denotes tonic – the central note that will be struck the most frequently while playing. It also determines the pitch of the instrument – whether its general tone is higher or lower.

          Scale can be major or minor. Even if you have never had music lessons, you can easily distinguish one from another. Just recall The Beatles “Let It Be” (major scale) and “Angie” by Rolling Stones (minor scale) and you’ll get the idea.

          It’s like choosing a perfume. You need to smell it before you take it. Does it have flower, musk, or herbal notes? Some of them go well and some don’t. As with the perfume, the best option is to apply it on the back of your wrist to understand how it feels on you. Same is for drum.

          B Celtic minor

          Our personal fav. It has soothing and relaxing and suits perfect for the first-time players and those who don’t feel to confident playing the steel drum yet.

          B Celtic double ding

          Is definitely a best seller! The drum has an extend range of notes (10 instead of 9) and has 2 bass notes (those are provided by double ding) instead of one.

          D Celtic Minor

          Is a higher pitched version of B Celtic. Perfect if you love jamming and often play with other musicians

          G Pygmy

          This one has deep mysterious sound. One of the lowest tunes available throughout all the musical steel drums available for sale. Works great for meditation and spiritual practices.

          D Major

          Are you looking for a great mood booster? Then you found the right one! This major-tuned drum has a very uplifting sound and is totally beginner-friendly. If you are an intermediate handpan player who tend to collab with the guitarists, this drum should be your top choice.

          A Integral

          It’s a dark horse in all our RAV drums variety. Unlike other drums it has major and minor chords simultaneously! This is definitely an intermediate level drum, but the opportunities are unlimited. Try it if you are searching for experiments and new sound.

          E Low Pygmy

          The lowest registry of all! It’s like the King Bell in our RAV family. The sound is so deep that you feel like your whole body is vibrating along with the instrument.

          B Kurd

          Versatile and wade. Like B Celtic double ding it has 10 notes instead of 9. Is an universal drum and is a great options if you have a wide range of musical ideas and want a drum that can provide them all.

           B Rus

          Instead of postscript. Accessories matter

          When looking for drums on sale, don’t hesitate around the accessories going alone with it. We recommend to purchase a handpan along with basic case to transport and store your musical instrument. If you try to play handpan for the very first time, we also recommend you to play with mallets. The technique is a bit different from playing with your fingers only, the sound is louder and it’s much easier to play. You can check out the mallets and others products in our accessories section.
