Delve into the history of the American tongue drum

If we start with the roots of the tongue drum, the story of this instrument goes back to the 1990s, drawing inspiration from American traditions, particularly Aztec influences. Jim Doble led the creation of the Whale Drum, which was notable for using gas cylinders as the resonating body of the instrument. In 2007, artist Dennis Havlena entered the scene, creating a tongue drum based on that gas-cylinder concept. By refining the tuning and producing clearer tones, the tongue drum took off and began its journey across the musical world. Unlike the Whale Drum, it quickly became popular internationally.
