Exploring the American origins of the hank drum

With Dennis Havlena, the world of music truly changed overnight. The creation of the tongue drum marked an important milestone because this artist had the wild, yet brilliant, idea of using propane cylinders to produce exotic sounds unlike anything offered by other instruments. Years earlier, Jim Doble, an American resident, had also proposed a similar concept but without developing it as skillfully as Dennis Havlena. Havlena then reworked Doble’s instrument to create a new, more modern version that has enjoyed the success we see today. Immerse yourself in an outstanding sound world with this tongue drum!

Travel musically with the portable tongue drum

For artists on the move, the tongue drum is an option not to miss. Lightweight and sturdy, it’s designed to go wherever inspiration leads. Loved by musicians past and present, its appeal lies in its rich acoustic quality and easy portability. It also encourages musicians to create a variety of sounds by letting them play melodies in places that are inaccessible to other instruments such as the piano or double bass. This gives you the opportunity to reveal your talent at any time and in any place. So explore a new musical universe with this zen drum!
