Discover the soothing virtues of the hank drum

Often seen as one of the pioneering instruments used in music therapy—an alternative approach that uses sound and music to support well-being—the tongue drum is ideal if you want to unwind after a stressful day. It’s not just a feeling, either: a 2014 study by researchers at the University of Vermont in the USA found that this unusual instrument may help reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels in the body. No wonder the tongue drum is increasingly used in art therapy to spread relaxing vibrations all around. Take the time you need, treat yourself to a wellness break with this zen drum, and order yours today.

Immerse yourself in the history of the American tongue drum

Like most modern musical instruments, the tongue drum drew inspiration from many sound-making creations around the world. Examples include the handpan, created by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in Switzerland in 2000, as well as the Tambiro, the work of Felle Vega, an artist from the Dominican Republic. That said, the tongue drum is 100% American, since it was developed in the small workshop of Dennis Havlena, an amateur luthier from the state of Michigan. After years of development to reach a satisfying result, he regularly posted updates on his personal website to share the progress of this new musical creation with his community. When it was released in 2007, the enthusiasm was so strong that thousands of people wanted to get their hands on one. In the end, the tongue drum gained international reach and became one of today’s most popular instruments. Experience those American-born vibrations—get your tongue drum now!

Take music with you wherever you go with the tongue drum

Much like carrying a portable speaker to enjoy music anywhere, the tongue drum is perfect for percussionists who want true mobility. That freedom comes from the strength and durability of the instrument, made almost entirely of thick steel for exceptional resilience. While it’s not indestructible, there’s no denying it can handle far more knocks and everyday wear than many wooden or stringed instruments. That means you can enjoy incredible tones and express your creativity wherever inspiration strikes—great for developing your musical ideas and discovering new melodies to play. Buy a tongue drum today and unlock a new world of sound wherever you want.
