In much the same way that the rain stick harnesses the essence of rain,
the Sand Drum harnesses the essence of the entire ocean; hundreds of
quintillions of gallons of water. The unique surf-like sound is produced
by a medium-sized enclosed drum about 1 1/4" thick and filled with dozens
of tiny silver metal beads. When gently rocked and rotated in a circular
motion, the sand drum produces an amazing tidal effect, like waves ebbing
and flowing. In addition to the ambient effects it creates, the sand drum,
being a "drum" is also a unique percussion instrument offering a variety of
different percussive elements. All core hit articulations were recorded at
10 x round robin.

This library includes custom front-panel controls and modwheel automation
to allow pitch adjustment of up to +/- 24 semitones, as well as room wetness
re-shaping, going from tight and close to full and lush.
