Deep Shell Tunable Bendir Drum

Deep shell bendirs are increasingly popular with musicians that play in lap position, a modern style that synthesises percussion techniques from diverse musical idioms. Unlike upright position, where one or both hands support the weight of the drum, lap style leaves both hands free, allowing for more elaborate strokes. Kleo Xirou made the frame with three layers of steamed beechwood and chose a medium-thick natural goatskin for balanced harmonics and a stable sound.
