Explore the heritage and evolution of the American tongue drum
The arrival of Dennis Havlena with his tongue drum in 2007 left a strong impression on musicians, offering a high-quality instrument with sounds you couldn’t find anywhere else. The history of this instrument began in 1990 with Jim Doble’s idea to draw inspiration from ancient Aztec slit drums to create the Whale Drum. The instrument was partly crafted from a gas cylinder. In 2007, Dennis Havlena continued Jim Doble’s vision by creating the tongue drum, a major improvement over the Whale Drum. His design was a huge success, and the result was breathtaking for its time. Because both artists and musicians are American, the origins of this instrument are undeniably rooted in the USA. The modern tongue drum quickly became popular worldwide.
