Similar to the major scale, the Lydian mode’s point of difference is the raised 4th note, F#. Often used in jazz, and found in older traditional music, it is as rich as it is light and airy. It’s easy to pick up and has plenty of room for discovery.

All Happy drums include mallets and a padded carrying case.
