Discover the American origins of the tongue drum
In 1990, American musician Jim Doble demonstrated his passion for music with the creation of the Whale Drum. The first instrument designed from large gas cylinders that had been emptied to contain only air, he had the idea of cutting the metal to build a kind of special xylophone. In 2007, another American named Dennis Havlena appeared to create a new model of instrument: the tongue drum. With a passion for creating dozens of instruments from his own imagination, Dennis made a major update to the Whale Drum, using the Tambiro and the handpan, two other idiophone musical instruments, as a basis. His idea was mainly based on the use of neodymium magnets to create a very classic pentatonic scale. Since then, the success of this instrument has continued to grow. So get your hands on this very unique drum for an unparalleled musical experience!
