Delve into the history and development of the tongue drum in the U.S.
One of the best instruments recognized and appreciated by today’s musicians is undoubtedly the tongue drum. The impeccable sounds of this instrument set it apart from the competition. The roots of this musical creation can be traced back to ancient American traditions, particularly those of the Aztecs. In 1990, American artist Jim Doble improved on the Aztec design by creating an all-metal structure. Finally, this instrument underwent a major transformation in 2007 thanks to Dennis Havlena, who was inspired by the Swiss Hang and Felle Vega’s Tambiro. To do this, he used empty propane cylinders to create the shell of his instrument model, which he named the tongue drum. Subsequently, the modern tongue drum became more accessible to music lovers thanks to a huge surge in popularity.
