Velez Series Handance Tars

The Glen Velez Series Handance Tars are designed specifically for Velez's Handance Method -

A unique method for hand drumming and personal rhythmic development from Glen Velez, the world's leading frame drummer. Handance is more than learning how to play hand drums: it's a holistic method for integrating rhythmical "visualization" concepts with physical timekeeping and drumming techniques. The unique "stepping," singing and drumming exercises build personal drumming confidence and develop a solid rhythmic inner awareness.

Our drums are lightweight, expertly crafted, and designed for use in any musical setting.  They can be tuned to a range of pitches, while the synthetic head insures maximum resonance in any climate.  Handance drums are shallower than standard Cooperman models.
