Immerse yourself in the history of the American tongue drum
It all began in 1990 when American Jim Doble came up with the brilliant idea of creating the Whale Drum—an accessible percussion instrument made from propane or butane tanks that were headed for disposal. His main inspiration came from the solid-wood slit drum of Aztec culture. This is why the American roots of this percussion instrument run so deep. But the story doesn’t end there! In 2007, Dennis Havlena took a close look at this creation and proposed an improvement to the Whale Drum, giving rise to the tongue drum. This modern evolution of the Whale Drum has since won musicians over around the globe. Add this acoustic marvel to your daily life—buy one now!
