The tank drum, also known as the tongue drum, is one of the most fascinating instruments out there. It comes from a rich history rooted in older American musical culture. The tongue drum’s origins can be traced back to ancient slit drums, such as the Aztec teponaztli. In 1990, an American named Jim Doble set out to reinvent this ancestral instrument.
