Explore the evolution of the tongue drum in the United States
When discussing the origins of the tongue drum, it can be said that it all began with Jim Doble’s idea to make the Whale Drum in 1990. To do this, he used empty gas cylinders to create the resonance chamber for his percussion instrument. However, this instrument wasn’t a major success within the music community and quickly faded from view. Then, in 2007, Dennis Havlena set out to create an instrument similar to the handpan, but at a more affordable price. He drew inspiration from the Whale Drum on one side and Felle Vega’s Tambiro on the other, both designed in the United States. Thus, the tongue drum was born—an improved, modernised version of the Whale Drum. With precise tuning achieved using neodymium magnets, the tongue drum became a worldwide success, and Dennis Havlena, a Michigan resident, remains very proud of his innovative instrument.
