At first glance, you might see “Beat Hive” as a bee hive, a crystal formation, seed pods, or some other natural form. You might then notice the similarity between the pod forms and conga drums, and with a few taps on the heads, you will discover that each section produces a different tone. The collection of eight drums offers a major scale, though the notes are not in a linear arrangement, so playing a song may require a group effort. With a bit of exploration, you will find the best way to strike the heads. You might even meet a new friend while exploring.
