Learn about the origins and evolution of the tongue drum in the United States
The tongue drum is an American creation by Dennis Havlena that truly dates back to 2007. It later gained widespread popularity and quickly made its way around the world. His inspiration came from the Tambiro model invented by Felle Vega, which was never commercialized. It’s made, in particular, from emptied propane tanks. The tongue drum is also related to the Whale Drum, another percussion instrument designed in 1990 by the inventive American artist Jim Doble. He developed this project by drawing on American traditions and updating Aztec slit drums, which were originally made of wood.
