Experience the Rich Sound of the Middle East

Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the Middle East with our 20-Inch Rope Tuned Tupan Drum. This traditional instrument has been used in ceremonies, festivals, and wars throughout the region for centuries, and its deep booming voice is sure to captivate audiences of all ages.

High-Quality Construction

Our Tupan Drum features two large natural skin heads stretched over a light-weight plywood body, making it easy to transport and store. The edges of the heads are rolled and tucked around wooden hoops, and then attached to the frame by cording stitched back and forth from head to head.

Customizable Sound

The drum can be tuned by adjusting the leather tabs over the cords, allowing you to customize the sound to your liking. Whether you're a seasoned musician or just starting out, this feature makes it easy to experiment with different rhythms and techniques.

Authentic Playing Experience

The Tupan Drum comes with a beater and switch, allowing you to play the instrument in the traditional style. The dominate hand plays the accented beats with the larger thicker beater, called a tokmak, while the other hand holds the thinner switch and plays rapid rhythms.

Rich Cultural Heritage

This instrument is most often an accompanying instrument used to mark the rhythm, but it can be played solo as well. With its rich cultural heritage from the Middle East, the Tupan Drum is a unique and fascinating addition to any music collection or cultural display.

SPECIAL NOTE ON STRINGS:
There is no warranty on strings. Manufacturers recommend that you change the strings on your instrument as soon as you receive it. Your instrument has completed a long journey before it ever begins the final leg to your home. During this time the elements affect the strings and may shorten their lifespan. It occasionally happens that a string will fail during that final leg of the journey. Therefore, it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings soon after it arrives. If you are a student you may want to change your strings every 3-4 months. If you are a rock star you may need to change your strings every week. If you store your instrument, you should consider changing the strings when you pick it up again.

Please note:
For safety during shipping, the manufacturer don't tune the instruments before sending them to customers. Return policy A 15% handling charge is levied against all authorized returns except those due to our error. Unauthorized returns are subject to a 35% handling charge.
