Poppy Petal Drum is a stainless steel outdoor tongue drum. Based on Percussion Play's Babel Drum, this robust outdoor musical instrument produces six gentle sounds using a soft mallet. Ideal for inclusive playgrounds, music parks, sensory playgrounds and intergenerational play.

Each Petal Drum contains a small (10” / 250mm) Babel Drum encased within specific shaped aluminium petals. The flower heads are securely mounted to a stainless-steel frame or ready to be wall-mounted, and come supplied with soft, flexible mallets specifically designed to produce soft, soothing tones.

Poppies are a well-known and well-established symbol for remembrance the world over.
