The hand drum is the purest drum in the Royalsound percussion range — no jingles, no hardware, just a hygienic plastic head over a warm poplar plywood frame, played with the included wooden mallet. The family covers three diameters: the 6″ (030602), the 8″ (030802) and the 10″ (031002) — one frame design, scaled.

A Drum First: The Mallet Does the Talking
Where a tambourine answers every shake with a jingle, the hand drum answers only what the player puts in — which is why music teachers reach for it first:
- Strikes are the whole vocabulary: tap the center for tone, play near the rim for snap, drag the mallet for a roll — dynamics children can actually hear themselves control
- The included wooden mallet has a rounded ball end sized for small hands; a pencil-grip teaches articulation before drumsticks ever arrive
- No jingles means no accidental noise: a rest is truly silent — the instrument conductors and therapists prefer for attention work
- The frame drum is the oldest drum design in the world; the 0xx002 family puts a real one, safely made, in a three-year-old’s lap
One Family, Three Sizes: The Ladder
| 030602 · 6″ | 150 mm · lap-sized — toddler groups, gift sets, first birthday drums |
| 030802 · 8″ | 200 mm · the classroom workhorse — enough head area for clear tone drills |
| 031002 · 10″ | 250 mm · the fullest voice — ensemble bass-lines and big group circles |
All three share the 45 mm frame family, the same black binding and the same hygienic head — mixed-size class sets arrive looking like one instrument.

Product Positioning
The 0xx002 hand drum family is the standard line of the Royalsound frame-drum range: poplar plywood and water-based paint for volume programs, with the mallet included as standard. It pairs with the jingle side of the catalogue — the Kids Tambourine 6″/8″/10″ shares the same shell language, size ladder and certification set, so buyers can build a matched percussion section from one supplier. High-grade upgrades (beech with synthetic hide, birch with real buffalo leather, including a tunable model) are available on the same production platform.
It shares the production line, tuning bench and certification process with our own consumer brand Musicube — the same instrument family that is already selling on the US retail market under the Musicube name.
Quality & Manufacturing
The frame is built from sturdy laminated poplar plywood with a chamfered bearing edge; wood surfaces are protected with water-based paint. Batch-level EN 71, ASTM F963 and GB 6675 reports are available for every shipment, issued under your brand name. Every unit is head-tension and mallet-fit checked before packing.

And the paperwork your import process will need — real reports, not templates:
OEM / ODM: Make It Yours
Once the instrument is proven, the next question is how it starts carrying your brand:
- Logo: print on the head or the frame, from low trial quantities.
- Mallet branding: burn or print your logo on the wooden mallet — a detail buyers remember.
- Colors: the natural-frame look is the default — volume orders can match your Pantone on binding or frame color.
- Packaging: the full-color box takes your artwork natively — no sleeve needed.
- Certification: EN 71, ASTM F963 and GB 6675 reports issued under your brand name.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is the hand drum different from the tambourine?
A: No jingles — the hand drum produces only the head’s tone, played with the included mallet, while the tambourine adds jingle shimmer on every movement. Together they form the two voices of a percussion circle: the drum carries the pulse, the tambourine carries the sparkle. Both families share the same size ladder and shell construction.
Q: Can the head be tuned or replaced?
A: The standard line uses a fixed hygienic plastic head — maintenance-free for classrooms. For tunable heads, our high-grade buffalo-leather line includes a 10″ tunable hand drum with a metal tension hoop.
Q: Can we order mixed sizes in one carton?
A: Yes — mixed 6″/8″/10″ cartons are a standard option for class-set buyers, barcoded per SKU at packing. Confirm the mix ratio on your quotation.
Q: What is the MOQ for OEM orders?
A: MOQ and carton configuration depend on your customization level and destination market — they are confirmed on your quotation rather than a fixed published number. Send your quantity and target market for a costed proposal within 24 hours.
