About this product

The sound in the room
  • Each cut tongue vibrates when struck, giving a clear tone with a gently ringing edge.
  • The notes invite slow, unforced playing, from single strikes to simple repeating patterns.
  • Its compact form suits close listening, with the sound held near you rather than projected like a stage instrument.
  • The mallets give a clean, rounded strike, useful when you want an even tone.
  • Played softly, it becomes a small ritual object for a desk, meditation corner or quiet room.
Green metal with an Om detail

The drum is made from metal and iron, with a smooth textured surface and a centred Om detail. The shape is simple and grounded, designed to keep the focus on touch, tone and repetition.

How to play it gently

Rest the drum on a stable surface, hold the mallets loosely, and strike each tongue with a light touch. Let the sound fade before playing the next note, or build a slow rhythm by moving around the drum.

Keep it dry between uses and wipe the surface with a soft cloth. Avoid hard impacts, as the tuned tongues are the heart of the instrument.

Om as a visual anchor

Om is a sacred syllable in Hindu traditions and is also used in some Buddhist contexts, often associated with meditation, breath and the beginning of a chant. Here, the symbol works as a quiet visual focus for the sound practice rather than decoration alone. Tongue drums themselves are modern instruments, with cut metal tongues that vibrate at set pitches, giving them their clear, bell-like voice.

Common questions

Is this the same as a handpan?
No. This is a steel tongue drum. A handpan is usually convex and played mainly with the hands, while a tongue drum has cut tongues and is often played with mallets.
Do I need musical training to use it?
No formal training is needed. Start by striking one tongue at a time, listening to each note, then build simple patterns at your own pace.

Love this it's fantastic

Absolutely fabulous my grandsons adored it 8 and 5yrs old and I also used it for work with, multi complex children who are also visually impaired. Laying it on their laps so they could feel the vibrations, they seemed to chill and be calm at this!!!! Brought a yellow /glittery gold one so against a black cloth it will show up best for them too to see. I did get a 14inch as I thought the sound would be better, but for small children maybe a smaller size 6, 8 or 10 inch may have been better it is quite heavy!!Love it though great sound and the sound /vibration is fantastic.Got it new as used, lovely condition you wouldn't know.

Nice Instrument.

Well crafted, lovely tone and sounds. I bought this as a surprise for my wife who said she always wanted one when she saw an advert. She's thrilled with it. Not an unpleasant sound even when 'played' by a two year old. Lovely turquoise finish with a rope grip. The wife thinks it's great. Not cheap but it is a well made instrument and comes with hammers, a case and a book of simple music to follow.

Mellow sound

Bought it for a child with adhd, he loved the mellow sound and played it for ages, as did all his brothers and sisters. Solid buy.

Beautiful drum for beginners

Beautiful drum with a nice tank drum sound. We got this as an instrument for our children and it's good fun, not only for them. It is a very relaxing activity. The booklet of mini songs is a very nice feature and a lovely way to start playing. I wanted to say it's good value for money, however the price has gone up from 44€ to now 70€! So I don't know if I would have bought it at the higher price.

Absolutely love it.

I ordered this on a whim yesterday morning and was amazed when it showed up later the same day. I already love it! The design looks great, it feels solid and well-made, and the tones it produces are wonderfully sweet. It'll take me a little while to get the hang of playing it properly, but it comes with a handy booklet that teaches you a good selection of tunes. For now, I'm just enjoying experimenting, jamming, and making my own music. I've attached a video so you can hear for yourself how lovely it sounds and how easy it is to create something enjoyable straight out of the box.

Soothing steel pan.

Excellent item. The pan (steel drum) is very nicely made and in tune. It is finished in an attractive black powder coating and is provided in a carry case with shoulder strap, 2 beaters and additional stickers and instruction manual. Great value for money, although my inspiration for the purchase was seeing how some rescue animals - goats and sheep seemed attracted to the gentle mellow sound whereas our domestic pets seem indifferent! Hey ho😂
