Discover the roots of the tongue drum in America
Deeply rooted in American musical traditions, the tongue drum draws inspiration from many instruments. Unfortunately, it is not possible to mention them all here, but in order of priority, it is worth mentioning the ancient Aztec slit drums, which were made of solid wood. They are similar to the tongue drum simply because similar cuts were carved directly into solid wood. Next, the transition from wood to metal can be attributed to Jim Doble, an American who designed the Whale Drum in 1990. Finally, Dennis Havlena himself stated that he drew inspiration from Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer’s handpan, as well as Felle Vega’s Tambiro, when he designed his tongue drum in his small workshop in Traverse City, Michigan. Immerse yourself in this American musical heritage—get your own tongue drum today.
