How to Play the Tone Drum (Tutorial)

The Roku Tone Drum, crafted from solid wood and plywood, is a unique tone block hand percussion instrument with an unusual hexagonal shape featuring six edges. Resembling the portable cajon but without its hollowness and amplification, it offers versatile playing options. Whether played by hand for rhythmic beats, with a wooden beater for tonal clacking sounds, or with a rubber mallet for increased resonance, the Roku Tone Drum delivers a rich and dynamic musical experience.
