Terre percussion Hamgam by Majid Drums with Gig Bag and Anti-Slip Mat

General

The 100% handmade Hangam is a singular instrument developed by Cologne based drum and percussion producers, Majid Drums. Essentially based on a handpan, the Hangam is made entirely of wood. Seven 1mm thick playing surfaces are shared across the panels that make up the unique hexagonal form. The centre surface delivers a kick-drum-style sound when struck and one of the side-mounted playing surfaces serves as a snare and comes fitted with adjustable and removable snare wires.

The rest of the playing surfaces kind of serve as a set of toms, high-pitch congas or bongos and combine with the snare and kick-esque sounds to produce something that would not sound amiss accompanying a handpan, tongue drum or urdu. Besides the snare, every playing surface can be tweaked and tuned by shifting removable magnets across the surface, offering a surprisingly wide tonal range. The two attached blocks that can be seen on the sides are called Kaskaritas and are comparable to castanets; ideal for adding classic percussive accents. The Hangam weighs 5kg (not that much when you remember that it's made of solid wood), thankfully comes with a form-fitting gig-bag and can be set on its very own anti-slip mat to play.
