The media could not be loaded. Great little percussive instrument for the price. I have played piano for years but never any percussive instrument. My friend got one of these and I just knew I had to treat myself to it. It feels like it's good quality and it sounds really good especially in the lower notes. A/B/upper C are a little weak and ring with other tones underneath but are still on pitch enough to satisfy me. This would be a great instrument for anyone to play around with even if they are not musically inclined. I made a short piano track to play to for this video review. It is a pretty color and fun to play and I love that I can take it anywhere, unlike the piano. Very calming for me as well. I do wish the stickers came with the note names as I do better with notes, being a musician. I will likely just find some stickers and mark them myself. Read more
The media could not be loaded. You know, playing musical instruments is pretty challenging. I can say this with confidence as someone who tried to learn the guitar but ended up with nothing to show for it. But it turns out there are instruments so simple that all you need to do is tap on them, and they produce pleasant sounds. It doesn’t even matter much in what order you play since the notes are arranged harmoniously. I’m talking about a steel tongue drum with petals. The instrument is made of high-quality metal and coated with a beautiful navy blue finish. Its 11 petals allow you to produce a variety of sounds. Keep in mind that its diameter is only six inches, so playing it with your hands might be a bit tricky. That’s why the manufacturer includes drumsticks in the set—and honestly, I find this very convenient. There’s also a songbook included, though I haven’t tried it yet. I plan to, and it seems like a nice addition. Kudos to the manufacturer for thinking of everything. These kinds of drums are often used in music therapy, yoga, hypnotherapy, or just for fun. I think this drum would also be great for kids since you don’t need any special skills to make it sound good. You simply pick it up and start playing. Probably the only downside I’d like to mention is that the stickers with note numbers on the petals started peeling off even before I began using the instrument. I also couldn’t help but notice that these stickers look exactly like the ones you find on furniture parts you buy on Amazon. Coincidence? Overall, I think this drum is a successful combination of quality, convenience, and affordability. If you’re looking for something to help you relax, reflect, or meditate, this drum is a great choice. Read more
I purchased this instead of the pricier version advertised elsewhere, since it was for a young child, and I am quite pleased. This is the perfect size for a child. It is a nice looking, well made piece--no damage from being sat upon by a four year old. My 2 year old grandson dearly loved it, and the tones sound fabulous. The carrying case is a nice plus, as well. I am guessing the mallets will not last long since I had to find them numerous times before he left our house, but they should be able to be replaced easily. Read more
Pros: Its a really cute size! The color is very nice! The sound is fair, very pleasant. The drum sticks feel like a good weight. Cons: The note markings, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and i are all just shiny stickers and are coming off rather easily. I thought they may of been carved into the drum tongues but they aren't. These do not affect the sound or performance of the drum but if you lose them it can be hard to play any songs by accordance to the song book. Read more
It has truly beautiful sounds! Very relaxing to just tap on the various notes. The sounds remind me of a Hugh end wind chime. Size is nice. It was a great purchase. Read more
My daughter loved it for her Christmas present, it was honestly larger scale than I thought! Typically, I just expect items to be smaller. She's a new becoming teen so the soothing sounds are honestly nice! It is also quite loud it almost seems like an electric instrument. Overall a nice and worth the purchase item! Read more
This steel tongue drum is pure zen with a side of chaos — in the best way possible! 🥁✨ The moment I started playing, I felt like a peaceful monk who also has rhythm. The sound is so calming it could probably convince a toddler to nap (I said probably). The tones are beautiful, relaxing, and make me feel like I’m scoring my own nature documentary every time I tap it. It’s sturdy, shiny, and surprisingly easy to play — even my cat thinks she’s a musical prodigy now. Whether you’re chasing inner peace or just want to sound fancy while randomly hitting metal, this drum delivers major good vibes! Read more
Beautiful percussion drum! Lovely sound! Fun to build a tune or on simply use the stick to proved the beat. Read more
