The tongue drum and its American roots
Dennis Havlena’s expertise and boundless passion for music came into the spotlight with the creation of his tongue drum, which took him years to develop and refine. The story begins in 1990 with American innovator Jim Doble, who built the first instrument with a resonating body made from used gas cylinders: the Whale Drum. Dennis Havlena then took Jim Doble’s concept and improved it, ultimately creating a brand-new instrument that would leave its mark on contemporary music: the tongue drum. Now based in Michigan, this instrument stands as a true product of the United States. Enjoy this cultural heritage!
