Discover the little-known history of the American Zen drum
When discussing the history of the tongue drum, it’s worth mentioning that it all began with Jim Doble’s ingenuity in 1990 through his creation: the Whale Drum. He drew heavily on American musical traditions to craft this rare gem. To design his Whale Drum, he took inspiration from Aztec slit drums, which were once used in religious ceremonies. The difference is that, unlike the Aztecs, Jim Doble made his instrument from gas cylinders instead of solid wood. Then, in 2007, Dennis Havlena further developed the Whale Drum to make it accessible to as many aspiring artists as possible. Today, the tongue drum has become a must-have for musicians worldwide who want extraordinary tones while echoing American traditions. Add this sonic marvel to your collection!
