Get started with the zen drum with our specialised guides
It’s widely known among percussionists worldwide that the zen drum is surprisingly easy to learn. This is mainly due to how it’s made: several tongue shapes are cut into the metal surface of its resonating chamber.

Its accessibility is a big reason why novices love it. Plus, plenty of online tutorials are available to make learning this unique instrument even easier.

Immerse yourself in the American evolution of the tongue drum
The history of the tongue drum is truly fascinating and has its origins in the United States. In 2007, in the state of Michigan, an amateur luthier named Dennis Havlena was eager to own a Hang drum, a Swiss percussion instrument created by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer. However, this instrument was very expensive—too expensive for Dennis Havlena’s budget—so he decided to offer a more affordable alternative to others in the same situation. He then set about creating an instrument that loosely resembles a handpan, drawing inspiration from the Tambiro and the Whale Drum, the latter instrument having been created in the US in 1990. By refining the concept behind these instruments and sharing a build-it-yourself model made from a recycled gas cylinder, Dennis Havlena helped popularise this American-made instrument around the world. You too can enjoy the exotic sounds of the tongue drum!
Explore new sounds with the portable Zen drum
Many percussionists face a common dilemma: portability. Favourite instruments are often too large and heavy to bring along on a trip. Musicians looking for a reliable instrument for travel are on the right track when they consider treating themselves to a zen drum. Its portability and relatively light weight give players total freedom of movement, no matter the location. In addition, its structure, which is made almost exclusively of metal, makes it resistant to impacts and the stresses of travel. It's time to experience unique musical moments with this instrument. Create a variety of sounds with the zen drum.
