Lotus Magnet for Big Drum

Description

This magnetic sticker is intended only for large drums and is used to clean the sound and mainly as an aid when children play and learning new melodies. It is made of magnetic foil with a thickness of 1 mm with high-quality ultraviolet printing. The sticker can also serve as a fridge magnet and at the same time a bit like a colorful chakra tuner. We chose this shape for the magnet because the lotus flower symbolizes life, happiness and harmony, and we would like to bring you this with the help of our drum.

Each color on the sticker corresponds to a certain tone and at the same time to the color of a specific chakra. The magnet needs to be placed so that the brown color on the lotus points to the largest and longest tongue, which also corresponds to the deepest tone.

You can download the melodies according to the link on our website.

The ring with the color indicates which tongue needs to be struck. If the ring has 2 colors, which means that it is halved, it is necessary to hit two tongues at the same time (Two-tone). The small gray antenna between the rings is an approximate pause between beats 1 comma = +/- 1 second.

Please take it as fun and not as an offer to criticize us. We are not professional musicians (and therefore maybe we make drums for everyone :). In fact, we do not have time to improve and research this method, so if you have the opportunity to help us in this, we will be grateful. We really enjoy it, and it also develops the hemispheres of the children’s brain particularly well. That’s also why we don’t want to take money for regularly releasing new melodies.

And something extra if you believe in symbols:
In general, Lotus is an image of the beginning of the world, the origin of life. It is also a symbol of rebirth, beauty, purity, spirituality, the unity of micro and macrocosm, the harmony of male and female principles. The lotus was especially worshiped in the ancient East: in ancient Egypt, India and China. Eastern traditions associated with the lotus flower are also reflected in Christianity in the image of lilies. An attribute of the archangel Gabriel, a messenger of divine messages revealing secrets, is a twig of white lilies. In the Christian tradition, moreover, the archangel Gabriel also brings the lily of the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary.

Inside the lotus, we placed our logo containing the thousand-year-old symbol “Wheel of Samsara”, which depicts the constant birth of the soul and is also a central part of the Flower of Life, which is a symbol of sacred geometry. You can also find a hexagram or the so-called star of King Solomon, which has a much more ancient origin. Archaeologists have found objects with this image all over the world (among the peoples of the Middle East, in India and even among the British Celts). In most cases, it was considered a symbol of protection against demons.

Interestingly, we did not deliberately place any of the symbols in the logo with a detailed knowledge of what they mean. The logo was created many years ago for a different purpose and later used for the Spolum Drums project.
