Description

JustDrums are excited to introduce the Sela 18″ Ocean Drum by Sela Percussion Percussion . Ready to be delivered to any location in the UK. The Sela 18″ Ocean Drum is ideal for calm sound work classroom exploration and gentle rhythm sessions where you want wave-like textures at your fingertips. I like how the dual-head layout gives you two clear characters to play with the natural skin brings a softer earthier feel while the synthetic head adds a brighter edge. Inside a mix of metal and plastic beads move freely as you tilt the frame giving you anything from a quiet shore to a rolling swell.Theres also a closable opening on the frame so you can adjust the amount of beads. Its a simple tweak that really helps you set the response for the setting youre in whether thats a therapy room or a group session. And if you want to go beyond the rolling motions you can tap the heads with your hand or use mallets to widen the palette. Its a friendly versatile drum that fits naturally into relaxation work creative play and mindful music-making.

Brand

Sela

Sela is a percussion brand best known for its modern approach to cajons, combining traditional playing techniques with innovative construction and design. The brand has helped redefine what a cajon can be, offering instruments that are versatile, responsive, and suitable for a wide range of musical styles.

Sela cajons are used by acoustic performers, drummers, and percussionists in unplugged, live, and studio settings. Many models feature adjustable snare systems and internal sound controls, allowing players to fine-tune their tone from dry and woody to crisp and snare-driven without changing instruments. This flexibility makes them popular with players who move between styles such as pop, folk, flamenco, and singer-songwriter performances.

The brand is also known for consistent build quality and thoughtful design at accessible price points. For drummers looking to add a compact, expressive percussion instrument to their setup, or percussionists wanting a cajon that offers more control and musical range, Sela is a reliable and widely respected choice.

Percussion

Percussion covers a wide and diverse family of instruments that create sound through being struck, shaken, or scraped. It includes everything from drum kits and hand drums to auxiliary instruments such as shakers, tambourines, cowbells, blocks, and mallet percussion. Percussion adds rhythm, texture, and colour to music across virtually every genre.

Hand percussion instruments like congas, bongos, djembes, and cajons are played using the hands or simple techniques, while auxiliary percussion is often added to drum kits to expand rhythmic and tonal options. Mallet percussion, such as xylophones and similar instruments, introduces melody as well as rhythm, broadening the musical role percussion can play.

Percussion is used in live performance, studio recording, education, and therapy, making it one of the most versatile areas of music making. Whether providing subtle rhythmic detail or driving the main groove, percussion instruments allow players to shape feel, dynamics, and expression in ways that support and enhance the music.
