The four holes are placed in a manner allowing the use of many materials such as rope, string, leather or vinyl strips creating a handle to suspend the drum which increase the projection when struck with a mallet or hand. All frame drums are equipped with a Remo drumhead and are manufactured with Remo’s patented ACOUSTICON™ shell that produce the same tonal characteristic found on traditional wood shell drums with excellent projection and enhanced low-pitched fundamentals.

Frame drums can be played using a traditional style with fingers, striking edge of drum producing a “tak” tone. It can also be held with one hand and played with a soft mallet or straddled between the knees like a bongo drum.

This review is from: Remo Fiberskyn 3 Frame Drum - 2.5 x 12 Inch (Electronics)

This is a really nice drum. I got this for my brother because he became interested in Arabic percussion after watching me play doumbek, riq, and tar. I didn't expect the sound to be as nice as it is, considering the price, but I suppose it must be due to the Fiberskyn 3 head and the somewhat deep shell. The doum tone is actually pretty nice, and sounds just like a frame drum should -- lots of nice overtones. The thumb hole makes holding it a lot easier, too. Even though it's supposed to be his drum I actually play around with it all the time.
