Discover the roots of the tongue drum and its creator
Still relatively unknown to the general public, despite becoming widely popular in recent years, the tongue drum originated in the U.S., more specifically in the mind of Dennis Havlena, an enthusiast who creates various musical instruments purely out of passion. Fascinated by the Hang, a Swiss percussion instrument that can cost several thousand euros, Dennis Havlena was convinced he could make his own take on it using everyday objects. He came up with the idea of taking a gas cylinder, emptying it, then cutting tongue shapes directly into the metal on its curved side. By striking these different-sized shapes, it was possible to produce musical tones. That’s how the tongue drum was born. Nowadays, it’s no longer made from used gas cylinders but from metal plates designed specifically for this purpose. You too can be part of this instrument’s journey by purchasing one today!
Express your musical talent anywhere with the tongue drum

For that expression to feel as complete as possible, it’s incredibly valuable for a percussionist to be able to play anywhere. While that isn’t really an option with other instruments that take up too much space, the tongue drum makes it possible. Want to play in a special place to spark inspiration?
