THE RAV DRUM
This mystical amazing instrument is made by Andrey Remyannikov and his team in Russia. It is a hybrid Handpan/Tongue Drum, which has an absolutely unique resonance and sound. For beginners and experienced players alike, this instrument takes you places! We have a few RAV drums in stock at the Panji Shop, but can source any RAV Drum scale you would like, to include in a combo deal with a Panji Bag.
This instrument is very special in regards to its sound technology with up to 6 harmonics on each tongue. There are 7 harmonics on the central note of the drum. This is very unique as you can also isolate certain harmonics to create depth and endless dynamic. The differences between the two RAV drum models are the thickness of steal and the possible overtones. RAV VAST 2 is made from thicker steel and it's approximately 15% louder than a RAV VAST, but has a bit less overtones. Both models has a long and beautiful sustain. The reason behind the two different models is due to what scales are applicable to the certain thicknesses of metal.

THE SLIM BAG
This Fiber Composite hardshell bag is intended for RAV drums and the like. Our Basic Straps will be mounted onto your SLIM bag in this combo deal.
FIBER COMPOSITE HARDSHELL
The Fiber Composite Bag is our eco-friendly hardcase, which has become the backbone of our product line. The hardshell is made of a unique blend of recycled cardboard and paper, plus Eco-Poxy and Line-X. Your RAV sits in a cushion of memory foam (you can also choose an eco-friendly 100% natural latex foam). The regular memory foam is lighter weight, plus some people are allergic to latex, however the latex foam is the eco-friendly option. The choice is yours! No matter which foam you choose, it comes covered with a foam cover that has been repurposed from thrifted textiles.
