wow! I LOVE this instrument. it makes the person playing and the audience fall into a trance from its beauty.

My family has loved this drum! Very well made. It is easy to play using the book that comes with it and the sound is pretty cool !

A wonderful quality sound

On the first day my kids and I played it for hours. My son is a musician so he checked to make sure it's was in tune. It was. The drum itself is beautiful and looks well made. After some ground rules I let my little girls play it. They are 10 and 5. The carrying case looks well made also. There was some extra pieces that came with it and no materials list, but I think they are for your fingers if you don't want to use the drumsticks. There was also a hard plastic thing that I think goes on the shoulder strap for the carrying case. It also comes with a book of music.The tone of the drum reminds me of wind chimes. I love wind chimes. The wind here destroys wind chimes. I don't have a music background, but that doesn't matter. It's impossible to make it sound bad. In my opinion.My daughter said "Whoever made this drum is a genius." I agree, it's brilliant.My brother bought this drum first after he did his research, he said it was a great drum. He was right.

Pretty incredible for $100 this is fantastic. Makes me smile

Edited to 5 stars. ?????????? Vendor reached out to me after contacting them and after presenting them a video how it played, they sent me a new one. I have to say the were very courteous and accommodating. I would definitely do business again! The SOUND ON THIS DRUM IS INCREDIBLE, and goes right through you - instant gratification and well worth the price after much investigation for this price range. Original post: Overall, the instrument is made well, came well packaged, and on the tongues that work, the sound is really incredible. The vibrations go through your whole body, and give a sense of immediate peace. However that was interrupted when two of the higher octave tongues were dead. As I have been able to make all the other tongues work great (each tongue has a sweet spot for that perfect tone), and I am a musician, I need all the tongues to work. Waiting for the seller response and if I can get it exchanged for a new working one, I will change my rating to five stars.

I love the tones. Whether I ever learn to play is not relative. The tones soothe.

Envoi rapide par Spnr ; article bien emball. Le livret est franchement inutile et peu int_essant. Le tambour est plut?t bien accord, mais pas parfaitement. Plusieurs notes sont l__ement plus graves. Le son est tr_ m_odieux et profond, c'est tr_ agr_ble. Les notes du tambour sont : sol la si do r mi fa sol la si do r mi (13 notes).

I am not as musically fluent as I wish I were, but this tongue drum is nice in that I can come up with a sequence of notes, and, often, it is pleasing to the ear. The drum came with numbers applied to each of the 13 tongues, #1 = C, #2 = D, and so on. Pretty easy to play melodies... Can get some nice sequences to repeat and I, as I mentioned, am pleased. I have not had much time with other instruments of the sort made by other manufacturers, but they can cost considerably more than this version of a steel tongue drum.I keep it out on my kitchen table and if I walk by, I usually grab the mallets and play for a couple minutes. The act makes me feel better.

I'm so glad I got this its a real joy to play with. I watched some YouTube videos and I'm off and running. We only play the radio here so for us to be able to make such beautiful music so quick is amazing. Its like you can't make a mistake. Everything sounds good.
