Discover the American roots of the tongue drum
It turns out that the tongue drum is the brainchild of Dennis Havlena, who drew inspiration from other American instruments while developing it. His project was largely based on the Whale Drum, created by Jim Doble. In the 1990s, Doble developed an instrument inspired by an Aztec slit drum, replacing the solid wood body with a metal resonator. In 2007, Dennis Havlena, a Michigan resident, followed in Jim Doble’s footsteps by building a new, more modern version of the Whale Drum. He named it the tongue drum and helped popularise it through demonstration videos on YouTube. This drew in many musicians—and it still does today. Play beautiful music rooted in American musical traditions with this excellent instrument!
