About this item

  • SIZE - 4 Inches (L) Inches. The surface of the Indian Folk Drum or Dumroo, made from leather, allows a high speed combination of beats unlike any other musical instrument. The shell is made from Wood, sourced from Authorized Government Channels to ensure sustainability of the environment, as well as livelihood of the Artisans
  • HOW TO USE - Very simply, just place your index and middle finger along with your thumb around the center of the Dumroo, which is to be held horizontally, so that the leather is facing left and right (and not up and down). Then, very quickly, rotate your wrist back and forth on its axis (like unscrewing a bulb) so that the little orange balls tied to the rope swing with the wrist motion to beat the sides of the drum, to then create the intended rhythmic sounds the Dumroo is meant for!
  • TRADITION - It is widely used in classical dance as part of the instrument sets belonging to folk bands. It is often used in Indian film music, and the local Indian folk music of Jamaica, Suriname, Guyana, Caribbean, South Africa, Mauritius, and Trinidad and Tobago, where it was brought by indentured immigrants. In the Fiji Islands the Dumroo is widely used for Indian folk music, bhajan and kirtan.
  • GREAT GIFT IDEA - Each piece is unique and comes right from the heartland of India, that is its villages. Use this piece of history and folk culture to decorate your home, or gift to anyone so inclined
  • YOUR PRODUCT IS SAFE - The product is packed securely & safely and then exported directly to the Amazon Fulfillment Centers in the US, and fulfilled using the quickest and safest logistics partners, while being covered by the Amazon returns, refunds & replacement policy

Ordered for preschool classroom and it’s tiny. Just have missed the measurements on this one before I ordered it.

It would seem like it is cheap plastic not wood, very light and flimsy material, it is glued together. The chords are badly placed which makes playing the damru difficult and the strings come off easily too, one flew off while i was playing it a week or two after buying it. The beads are too light as well. It is my sincere opinion that this is not worth 20 dollars. I am giving it 3 starts since I am still using it but am disappointed.

This is labeled as a classic Indian Folk Damaru Drum, and perhaps the original tribe that played this musical instrument were very small people. But nevertheless, it worked for us, and it had a surprising volume. Make sure you read the description measurements though - it's a pretty small drum. As in, just slightly bigger than your ear drum.

I mistakenly thought this would be somewhat of a normal sized “hand drum”. I did not realize that by “hand drum” they meant its as big as your hand and can only be played with fingers

Not sure what I was expecting for the price but it's small & doesn't quite make a drum sound. Works for my spells though.

This is described as "Handmade Wooden & Leather", this is not true. The shell of the drum is plastic that has been painted to resemble traditional wood instruments.That being said it works just fine and has a sound that is louder than I would expect for a 4 inch damaru.

This was smaller then I expected but that’s ok. I bought it for my wife and she likes it. You need to learn how to hold it properly and have the right hand arm movements for it to work.
