Steel Tongue Drum 7 Chakra 17x13cm With Mallets

Strike a note and the room softens around it. This metal tongue drum is made for slow, intuitive playing, with resonant tones that let you explore rhythm without formal musical training. Keep it nearby for a quiet pause at home, or take it with you in its carrying bag when you want a simple sound ritual on the move.

Bell-like sound for intuitive playing

• Each tongue responds to a gentle tap, giving a rounded tone that lingers after the strike.
• The included wooden mallets make the first notes easy to find, even if you have never played an instrument before.
• Its sound suits unhurried practice: a few repeated notes, a soft rhythm, then space to listen.
• The steel tongue drum format invites exploration rather than performance, so there is no need to read music.
• Use it as a small focus point for mindfulness, breathwork, journalling or a calm corner of the home.

Iron body with a travel-ready set-up

The drum is made from metal and iron, with cut tongues that vibrate when struck. It comes from India and forms part of the Steel Tongue Happy Drums range.

A pair of wooden sticks is included, along with a sturdy carrying bag, so the instrument can be stored neatly between sessions or taken from room to room.

How to play and care for it

Place the drum on a stable surface or hold it comfortably, then tap the tongues lightly with the mallets. Start with a simple repeating pattern, then let your hands wander between notes.

Keep it dry, wipe away dust with a soft cloth, and store it in the bag when not in use. Avoid heavy strikes, as tongue drums respond best to a light, steady touch.

The seven chakra theme

In yogic traditions, the seven chakras are symbolic centres used as points of focus for meditation and self-reflection. On a tongue drum, that theme gives the instrument a contemplative frame: sound, rhythm and visual symbolism working together in a quiet daily practice. It does not need to be formal. A few notes before meditation, a gentle pattern after work, or a shared moment with a child is enough to make the object feel alive.

Common questions

Is this a handpan or a tongue drum?
This is a steel tongue drum. A handpan is usually a convex instrument played mainly with the hands, while a tongue drum uses cut metal tongues and is commonly played with mallets.

Do I need musical experience to play it?
No. It is designed for intuitive playing, so you can begin by tapping simple patterns and listening to how the notes respond.

Can children use it?
Children can enjoy the simple, responsive sound with adult supervision. The mallets should be used gently, as the drum is made for light strikes rather than hard drumming.
