Derived from Native American water drums and now a sound bath staple, ocean drums are a special type of drum that mimics of the sound of the ocean. No matter where you are in the world, when you close your eyes and listen to the drum you are immediately transported to a relaxing, idyllic shore. The ocean sound is created by the small beads that rest inside of the ocean drum, and when the healer moves the drum from side to side it creates the sound of waves rolling over the coast.

While ocean drums have become increasingly popular in the sound healing space in recent years, there is one ocean drum that sets itself apart from all the others: the Theta Drum. The Theta Drum is the only multi-layered ocean drum in the world featuring two layers of beads that create distinctly different sounds. This innovate and modern approach to the Theta Drum features 3 membranes instead of 2 so it is able to form 2 completely separate sound cavities. This unique feature allows the drum to reproduce the “True Spirit of the Sea” with the sounds of waves and surf at the same time. Handcrafted and custom-built in beautiful Tuscany, Italy (each drum takes over a month to make), these powerful instruments are created with the highest level of craftsmanship and impeccable attention to detail.

Theta Drums help the mind to enter the Theta brainwave state, the state of complete deep relaxation. Theta brainwaves usually occur when you are sleeping, dreaming, or you are in the in-between state of sleep and awareness. However, these brainwaves can also occur while awake due to the help of the Theta Drum or listening to binaural beats. Theta brainwave states are important for processing information and memories and put you into a relaxed and meditative state. Whether you are experiencing the drum during a sound bath or just playing it for yourself at home, you will experience a deep soothing effect from the frequencies.

There are currently 4 models of Theta Drums; each with a different vibrational effect. The Mediterraneo Drum is crafted for emotional balance as the equal mix of high and low frequencies increase concentration by inducing a state of mindfulness. The Crystal Drum represents sweet maternal embrace as it produces a soft and uniform sound that alternates between waves and surf and facilitates protection, self-confidence, and serenity. The Cala Violina Drum is an energy reactivator; its high frequencies promote increased vitality, attention, and motivation. Finally, the Cala Luna Drum provides a hypnotic multisensory experience. This drum produces a very soft sound with low and medium frequencies and beads that light up in the dark for a truly magical experience.

Theta Drums are also manufactured in an eco-friendly way using certified woods, avoiding the use of animal skins, and implementing manufacturing technologies that do not harm the surrounding environment.
