Discover the history and creators of the tongue drum
In 2007, Dennis Havlena quickly became known in the music world thanks to the creation of the tongue drum, which he promoted on his YouTube channel by showcasing the different prototypes he designed. Initially, he drew inspiration from Jim Dobleâs Whale Drum and added elements from Felix Rohner and Sabina SchĂ€rerâs handpan. In doing so, he created a remarkably original instrument using recycled gas cylinders as the resonating chamber. The result was a rustic, handcrafted instrument with the unique ability to produce mesmerizing sounds. Since then, manufacturing methods have become more professional, and todayâs tongue drums no longer resemble Dennis Havlenaâs early prototype. Only the sound has remained the same, offering musicians a moment of relaxation with this idiophone instrument. Enjoy a wonderful musical legacy with this tongue drum!
