Sun and Moon Monkey Drum (Pellet Drum)

What is a monkey drum?

A monkey drum is a traditional handheld percussion instrument with two drumheads and two bead-tipped strings. It is also commonly known as a pellet drum and has been enjoyed for generations in different parts of the world.

How do you play the monkey drum?

Hold the handle between your palms and rub it back and forth. As the drum spins, the two wooden beads swing out and strike the drumheads, creating a lively rhythmic sound.

What is the drum made from?

The monkey drum is made from wood and is hand painted with a colourful sun and moon design.

Is the sun and moon design the same on every drum?

Each drum is individually painted, so small variations in the artwork are to be expected. These slight differences make every drum unique.

Is this suitable for children?

This monkey drum is simple to play and can be enjoyed by both children and adults. However, it is not a toy so children should be supervised while using it, and it is not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts

Can this be used as a musical instrument?

Yes. The monkey drum produces a distinctive rhythmic beat and can be used for musical play, storytelling, rhythm games or simply as a fun percussion instrument.

Is this a good gift?

Yes. Its colourful hand-painted design and satisfying rhythmic sound make it an unusual gift for music lovers, collectors of traditional instruments or anyone who enjoys something a little different.
