Looking to buy fitness drums? Drums4Health have purpose-designed wooden drums created for rhythm-based exercise, music and wellbeing. Developed as a practical alternative to bulky equipment, they combine genuine musical tones with a robust, portable design that is easier to transport between sessions.
Drums4Health developed its own portable fitness drum after founder Tamsin Ward experienced the practical challenge of transporting bulky equipment between classes and venues.
The resulting wooden drum is robust while remaining practical for instructors who need to move equipment between locations. Its compact design also makes it easier to transport drums in smaller vehicles.
Unlike fitness drumming activities based around exercise balls, these are genuine drums that produce different tones, allowing participants to learn musical rhythms while combining drumming with movement and coordination.

The Drums4Health fitness drum was developed by founder Tamsin Ward, who spent almost 30 years working in education as a music teacher and Director of Music before establishing Drums4Health.
Her background spans music, education and fitness, and the drums were developed specifically around the practical requirements of delivering Drums4Health sessions.
You can learn more about Tamsin, her qualifications and the development of the programme on the About Drums4Health page.
Portable equipment becomes particularly important when delivering classes across multiple venues. The drums are designed to make transporting specialist fitness drumming equipment more practical while retaining the sound and experience of using a real drum.
They are also used within the wider Drums4Health instructor model.
