Panyard SLAP Percussion 8" Frame Drum with Beater

The SLAP Drumming Frame Drum is a fun, accessible percussion instrument enjoyed by children ages 3+ and adults alike. Often described as a cousin to the tambourine, this frame drum is perfectly sized for developing hands and incredibly easy to play—simply hold it and strike with the included beater or play directly with the hands. Its affordable price makes it easy to include multiple drums in a classroom setting, while also serving as a great gift or stocking stuffer for budding percussionists.

Despite its lightweight build—just 0.4 lbs—the SLAP Frame Drum delivers excellent projection and a warm, well‑rounded tone for its size. Designed to withstand frequent use, it is sturdy enough for even the most energetic classroom environments. Like all SLAP brand instruments, the drumhead features innovative “how‑to‑play” graphics printed directly on the surface, visually guiding players on where to strike to create bass, tone, and slap sounds. Educators consistently praise these graphics for simplifying instruction and supporting inclusive learning across visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners.

Wrapped in a colorful, patterned exterior, the SLAP Frame Drum brings visual excitement to lessons, performances, and casual jam sessions. It is widely recommended by musicians and educators for early childhood music education, music therapy, drum circles, and home recreational music‑making—making rhythm learning joyful, intuitive, and accessible for all.
