Discovering the American roots and influences of the tongue drum

The tongue drum was originally inspired by Jim Doble, a Native American who, when crafting his Whale Drum in 1990, drew on American traditions, particularly an Aztec slit drum. He poured all his passion and expertise into building this wonderful instrument, which unfortunately didn’t find its audience. For its construction, he used gas cylinders to create truly unusual acoustics. Years later, Dennis Havlena set out to refine Jim Doble’s earlier creation. He was determined to make a modern instrument that would meet musicians’ expectations. Influenced by Felix Rohner and Sabrina Scharer’s Swiss handpan, he also wanted to offer an instrument that was far more affordable. In the end, he succeeded in creating an instrument with excellent sound quality at an accessible price. Get your hands on this beautiful instrument now and enjoy its unmistakable sound!
