HAMGAM
With the Hamgam, the Cologne-based instrument maker Majid Drums has developed an entirely new type of percussion instrument. It is inspired by the design of the popular Hand Pan (Hang Drum) but is made entirely of wood instead of metal. The Hamgam offers the player 7 striking surfaces, which can be tuned using a magnetic system. This allows for countless variations and a huge potential for sound. Like all instruments from Majid Drums, the Hamgam is 100% handmade.
Structure:
The Hamgam consists of a wooden body on which a total of 7 striking surfaces made of 1mm thin composite wood are mounted. The largest striking surface in the middle of the body provides the bass, while another striking surface is equipped with a snare drum carpet. The snare drum carpet is tightened with a nut inside the body and can be easily removed if needed.
Of the total 7 striking surfaces, 6 can be tuned using a magnetic system. Only the snare striking surface is exempt from this. Additionally, two Kaskaritas of different sizes are attached to the body of the Hamgam.
Includes bag and anti-slip mat:
The Hamgam comes with a matching bag and an anti-slip mat. The bag is thickly padded and extremely robust. The backpack straps make it convenient to carry the instrument on your back. The mat prevents the instrument from slipping while playing, in case it’s not mounted on a separate stand.
The HAMGAM has had an update!
From now on, every newly built HAMGAM will come with a microphone adapter screw*.
If you already own a HAMGAM, we would, of course, like to equip you with this addition free of charge! You only need to cover the shipping costs. We will also send you a video where Majid Karami personally shows you how to set up the equipment.
* Microphone and microphone holder not included.
