Tam-tam Drum with Concrete-Mountable Stand
Product Code: CNH-1411
Product Features:
The tam-tam drum is the outdoor version of the well-known instrument. Thanks to its simplicity, anyone can try it, as it requires no special skills to play, yet it develops a sense of rhythm. It pairs perfectly with other outdoor instruments, allowing children to provide the base rhythm in group play. The instrument can be played by up to three children at the same time. For more comfortable use, we recommend placing a bench nearby. The drums vary in diameter, color, and height, which also gives each a unique tone, offering children the chance to create rich and varied rhythms.
Materials and Construction:
Installation:
For loose soil conditions, installation is done with concrete foundations. Ensure that the foundation ends at least 40 cm below ground level. After the concrete has fully cured (10–15 days depending on weather), the instrument can be used safely. For existing concrete or other hard surfaces, installation with flat anchors is recommended.
Required Free Space: 12 m²

5 reasons why making music has a positive impact on children’s development
It is a proven fact that learning to play musical instruments develops cognitive skills and has many beneficial effects on children’s growth. We have collected 5 key benefits of making music that can also be experienced through outdoor playground instruments:
Concentration and coordination – when playing an instrument, children must focus on several things at once: tempo, rhythm, melody, finding the correct notes, and the physical movements required. Singing can even be added to this process, creating a complex task that helps children learn to concentrate on multiple aspects simultaneously.
Memory skills – think of nursery rhymes and songs that children love to repeat even during play. These short, melodic word games are an essential part of early education because of their role in developing memory. This skill can be transferred into instrumental play, which can also be included in preschool or school group activities.
Creativity – an instrument invites children to create their own melodies, awakening their desire to invent. By playing instruments, children can express and unfold their creativity. Outdoor instruments are very easy to use, require no prior knowledge, and still allow for the creation of varied tunes. Being accessible anytime for anyone, they inspire experimentation and free play.
Social skills – playground instruments can be played by several children at the same time, whether on different instruments or together in duets. In any setup, the shared experience of creating music develops social competences, teaching children how to play in coordination and cooperation. Alongside individual achievement, social skills are strengthened.
Rehabilitation and integration – group music-making can play an important role in both rehabilitation and integration. The unifying and therapeutic power of music has long been known, and today more and more programs use shared music experiences to support individual rehabilitation and social inclusion.
