Krin Bush Pole Drum
775-KBD
The Krin Bush Pole Drum is an all-abilities outdoor log drum for schools, early learning centres or council parks. We carve it from a natural Jarrah bush pole, cutting tonal slots that ring out under a tethered beater.
Each carved slot runs a different length, so a strike at different points produces distinct tones. Children explore pitch, rhythm and resonance through hands-on play, and taking turns builds fine motor skills alongside social connection. As a playground log drum it also earns a place on a sensory trail beside VRI’s other playground musical instruments.
We handcraft the drum in our O’Connor WA workshop from locally sourced West Australian Jarrah hardwood (subject to availability). The body carries an angled top and carved tonal slots, with coloured accents painted onto the natural timber and a weather-resistant water-based oil finish. The tethered beater fixes with stainless steel wire, and the structure is designed in accordance with AS 4685.
Installation available across Perth and WA, or supply-only Australia-wide with installation drawings for your contractor. Choose colours to suit your project palette. The pole height can be adjusted to suit children of different needs, so the drum sits within reach of smaller children or a child seated in a wheelchair, an inclusive option. Talk to us about the Krin Bush Pole Drum for your next playground project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Krin Bush Pole Drum need a fall zone?
No. The Krin Bush Pole Drum is played from ground level and its bush pole is not climbable, so it needs no fall zone or impact-attenuating surfacing under AS 4685. It drops onto a sensory trail beside other playground musical instruments without changing your surfacing spec.
Is the Krin Bush Pole Drum suitable for all abilities?
Yes. The pole height can be adjusted to suit children of different needs, so the drum sits within reach of smaller children or a child seated in a wheelchair, an inclusive option. The Krin Bush Pole Drum suits children aged 3 years and over, and taking turns builds fine motor skills alongside social connection.
How does the Krin Bush Pole Drum make different notes?
Each of the Krin Bush Pole Drum's carved tonal slots runs a different length, so striking at different points produces distinct pitches. The body is carved from a single Jarrah bush pole with an angled top, finished in a weather-resistant water-based oil, and the beater is tethered with stainless steel wire.
