What they are, how they influence us, and how we work with them at ParPer Drum.
When we talk about frequencies, we're talking about vibration. About how a sound is organized in time and how that sound is perceived by the body, through listening, and in emotional experience.
At ParPer Drum, we don't see frequencies as something esoteric or a miraculous promise.
We see them as a sonic tool that influences the feeling, character, and use of an instrument. That's why we tune to different frequencies and observe how people respond to them in real-world contexts: playing at home, therapy sessions, bodywork, meditation, or music.
Frequency ≠ Universal Effect
There is no single "best" frequency for everyone. Each person perceives sound differently, and context matters as much as the frequency itself.
Two instruments tuned to different frequencies can be equally valid, but evoke different sensations:
- greater calm
- greater presence
- greater clarity
- greater expansion
greater expansion Choosing a frequency isn't about choosing an absolute truth. It's about choosing how you want the sound to feel with you.
Research, experience, and genuine listening
Our work with frequencies isn't based on dogma, but on:
- years of handcrafted construction comparative listening between instruments
- escucha comparada entre instrumentos
- direct experience in music therapy, sound therapy, and the body's use of sound
- observation of recurring patterns in different people and contexts
We gather real sensations, responses, and preferences. We don't talk about "curing," we talk about accompanying, regulating, and offering sonic coherence.
La investigación científica (la nuestra y en general) en campos como la neuromúsica, la psicoacústica y la musicoterapia está avanzando rápidamente, y muchas de sus conclusiones refuerzan algo sencillo:
👉 el sonido influye en el sistema nervioso, en la atención y en la percepción corporal.
That's how we work. Without exaggeration. Without making promises. Without imposing.

How to Choose Without Complicating Things
Our recommendation is simple:
Listen first, feel later, and decide.
If a frequency feels pleasant, stable, and consistent with you, it's probably the right one. And if you have any doubts, we're happy to guide you based on your actual use, not on abstract theories. Choose not with your head, but with the feeling the sound gives you.
