Steel Tongue Drums on Amazon: Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- Hey everyone! Today I'm reviewing the steel tongue drums that are easy to find all over Amazon and other internet sellers. They are sold by many different companies, but seem to all be made by the same manufacturer, or at least ones with identical specifications! Buy the 12 inch diatonic (big green drum) on Amazon: amzn.to/3fWfOR2
Buy the 6 inch diatonic on Amazon (small blue drum): amzn.to/39APmuY
The 6 inch pentatonic on Amazon (small silver drum): amzn.to/36wG9Cb

Aww thank you 😊
My mother purchased the large green one for my eight-year-old as a SUPRISE gift. She LOVES it and has started learning songs. She woke up this morning at 6:30am to practice. I'm pleased that it's so pleasant to listen to even with her amateur efforts. I played the violin and the trumpet as a child and the first steps learning them weren't nearly as enjoyable for listeners.
Yes! I think being able to play musically right off the bat is so encouraging for kids AND parents :D
I used to play the trumpet when I was younger I was always sent outside to practice lol x
Does she still play it?
You've got to be the most polite and pleasant reviewer on the internet! Thanks for the review. I will definitely get the bigger drum!
Aww, thank you!
And cute too!
Thank you for sharing this. I'm shopping and your reviews are very helpful!

I read somewhere that it's pleasurable to hold the drum in your lap and therefore feel the vibes while you play! 😎✌🎶🎵♥️
Yes so pleasant
She loves music and people.
I got a 13 note one for Christmas. Here's a tip: take a flashlight and stick it inside the drum. Check for any places where the tongues were not "clean cut". You will need a Very thin metal file to file away any spurs or places where it wasn't cut all the way. That may help clean up any sound issues. One of the song books I ordered says to put a magnet on the back side of the tongues to get them in tune.
Smart! Thank you 😊
Thank you for this 🙏🏼
Perfect timing. I’ve been looking into budget drums and I was curious about these. A few people told me to skip it, but it’s nice to see a video and hear it work. I’m such a visual learner, so thank you ❤️
Absolutely! Glad I could help :)
Thank you very much. Tongue and hang drums have been on my mind for the past ten years. Currently now that they are affordable it’s definitely a must
Hi Molly, thanks for the wonderful review. I happened to have already bought mine, a 12" Amahi. I just wanted to mention that my drum is tunable, not by filing the tongues, but by magnets on the underside of the tongues that add mass to the tongue. There's a removable disc on the bottom that gives access to the underside. Move the magnets towards the tip and the pitch lowers. Move the magnets away from the tip, it goes sharper. I was able to get this drum (diatonic octave in D with additional low 7, 6, and 5) to correct pitch within a few cents. And let me just add my voice to those who appreciate your kind manner. I bet you're great with the kids! All the best!
Great review with excellent information. A whole step above the other UA-cam reviews I’ve come across so far.
Thanks so much!
Such a helpful but kind review, the internet needs more polite and informative people like you 😊
Aww, thank you 😊
I’m subscribing just for this reason alone. I’m only a few minutes into the video but see so many comments acknowledging her incredible character. I need to put more positive content into my soul and will watch just to ensure myself that amazing people still exist. I’m sure I’ll enjoy the topics too lol. Especially this drum review. Hopefully I can figure out which to buy my husband for Christmas.
I got a larger one for my birthday and love it. So relaxing! Nature enjoys it too when I play it on my porch. Nice you are exposing the wee ones to it.
I have not seen or heard about the steel tongue drum before coming across your review. Though I didn’t understand all the terminology the way you expounded on them let me understand what the concept.
You’re very polite and easy to watch. You showed a lot of intelligence and passion in what you’re reviewing which is a very nice change from most others. Thank you!!
Your new follower, Jon
Thank you Jon! So glad you're enjoying. Have a wonderful day! 😊
I learned a lot from this! Thank you. Not even planning on buying from Amazon (after seeing that they don’t seem to know much about music) but this helped me understand more about the drum I’m looking for!
I'm so glad it was helpful :D
Have you found a good one from a company other than Amazon ?? Any suggestions ?
I've seen a lot of ads for these lately and off-and-on for years. I ALMOST considered buying one, but being unable to pick your key nor having the full chromatic scale makes it a no-go for me at this time. Some music requires accidentals, and of course, sometimes you just need to change the key. I think you are 100% correct in your usage though, especially for the smaller, cheap ones. It's a good way to introduce young kids and new musicians into playing melodic mallet instruments, and could help transition them into the bells, xylophone, marimba, or even steel pan as they get more comfortable. Thanks for the review! It did answer some of my questions about these instruments.
I just saw an online ad for these then found your review. It was immensely helpful. I love the rich tones of the big one. I am about to check prices so pray I don't have a heart attack. Lol
Haha, good luck! Happy drumming 😊
Fantastic review! I was on the edge deciding between the smaller and larger one. The larger one is fantastic..so.. ordering! Thank you!
Thank you! I really love the larger one as well :)

Thank you so much for making this video. I loved the last drum! That is exactly what I am looking for.
I was going to purchase one and this review certainly has helped! Thank you and awesome videos!
Thank you! Glad to help 😊
I don’t understand a lot of what you’re saying musically, but I love your confidence of knowledge and experience to speak to us💕☺️
Aww, thank you 😊
Thank you, I have been dithering for ages which to buy and your information has helped me decide to go for the large Rakumi one that you have, plus a set of little magnets to play around with it :) I literally just made the order, sooo looking forward to having one at last :)
Yay, I hope you love it! Happy drumming 😊
I liked how the sound of the green one made you feel I can see how the sound went right to your soul.
Alex Ortiz nigga what?
TheSource what do you mean “nigga what?”
I might buy one to these to keep company to my ukulele, accoustic guitar, otomatone, stylophone and bass guitar in the attic.
It that's where it's going to end up, give it to someone who wants to play. Ditto the others that live in the attic.
Great review I am planning on using one with my adult son on the Autism spectrum for music therapy
That sounds wonderful!
Thanks for being such a friendly and honest person 💛
I'm seriously considering purchasing one to make music for my novels.. so this is VERY good info to know! You've convinced me- I'm going for the bigger one~
Enjoy 😊
More to choosing these than meets the eye. Thank you
Thank you, Molly. It was helpful information
This is really useful thank you for your efforts, you have a lovely manner
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much for the review. I am shopping for one of these now. I heard one of the smaller ones and thought, “yikes, how shrill!” I am will definitely buy the larger drum.
I'm so glad it was helpful! I hope you love your drum 😊
A big BOING to you, this is a great vid, many thanks for upload and sharing. I think I will go with the big green one. Warm regards from Ireland.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it, it's such a fun instrument :)
Thanks for this review! I want this size now! I've seen that people put them in a purse to take to the beach. I am so excited to get my first one 😊
That is such a lovely idea! I live far from the beach but I would love to try that someday 😊
Such a great review! Thank you so much!
Thank you!
When you started playing the big 18 inch drum, my mastiff woke and started watching and listen haha.
Thank you! This was very helpful.
Hello guys👍 Is there anywhere the lessons how to play 13 notes steel drum. For begginers ☺️
Yeah, I concur with the previous commenter: if you would’ve been my preschool teacher I would likely be a better human being altogether having experienced your soothing presence and accompanying voice.
Keep doing what you’re doing. 🙂✌🏻
Aww thanks 😊
@@MusicalMollyKhan
You are most welcome ma’m. 🙂
All the best to you and yours. 🙏🏻✌🏻
@@MusicalMollyKhan
Btw 🤔...
My friend has a very expansive hand pan/steel drum; upwards of $3,000.
It’s AMAZING.
I feel in love at first hearing it.
I don’t have the money for one (yet).
For now, I’ve been considering one of these little guys like the one you reviewed here.
I’m a musician (drummer, classical guitar, bass, etc...) and I’ve studied music and production engineering at MTSU university.
Despite all that, I’m really struggling to find what I need/want. 😞
My friend’s instrument is tuned to F# minor.
I want to resonate in the same key as him if I accompany him.
Do you you have any suggestions?😬🙏🏻
You have a lovely demeanor. Joy, contentment and amusement flow from you.
Aww thank you 😊
This is a lovely, and well thought out video! Fellow music educator here and greatly appreciate the great perspectives ❤ I'm subbed for more!
Thanks so much :D
Hi Molly! Having never played these instruments, and me, being a drummer/percussionist, the first thing that comes to my mind regarding that "sweet spot" is having many different mallets on hand....its kind of like your color packet. A slightly harder mallet, though hard on the ears, would allow for a more central tone and provide less a chance of missing the correct beating spot. You could try leaving those spots open for your more advanced student. students with the larger sizes should try a tightly yarn wound marimba or vibraphone mallet for a full fundamental tone. If they miss the sweet spot then the sound provided will be very muffled and could really teach them to use their ears and make small adjustments until they hit the sweet spot with more ease as they improve over time.
As you probably know, from teaching orff that this is exactly why marimbaists and vibrophonists have tons of mallets in their bags: because we also have sweet spots on our instruments. Use harder mallets for upper register and softer for the mid to low register.
You seem very confident in your video so I don't mean to insult your intelligence if you already know all of this but I just wanted to shoot my 2 cents your way hoping it could spark some ideas for you. The drums look and sound awesome and can't wait to get a set for myself....thanks for sharing this awesome percussion instrument with us!
This is so interesting, thank you! It's been a long time since I trained in Orff and I don't have access to the high quality Orff instruments, so I do a lot of improvising with less expensive pentatonic instruments for my preschoolers. I will definitely have to experiment with more mallets!
@@MusicalMollyKhan let me know if you need any suggestions for new mallets. Even though I can only judge by the video whether or not certain mallets will work, I can hopefully point you in the right direction. I taught orff classes about 12 years ago, and if I remember correctly we only used hard mallets so that some kind of sound was produced no matter where they struck the bar. So even if one students misses the sweet spot, it can be covered up by those who dont. I'm so glad my advice was helpful for you! Just wondering how you originally discovered these instruments? Because it's very similar to a log drum which percussionists use on a pretty regular basis.
@@EmoryBlake4Music thank you! I do a lot of exploring for unusual/fun instruments, and these started to become really popular a year or two ago :) I love log drums too!
@@MusicalMollyKhan yeah, log drums are beautiful. Their manufacturers just get better and better!
You can actually find printable tongue patterns on the internet, I printed out a set for a drum made out of an old propane tank, the sound was amazing and the intonation was very accurate.
That's so cool! I would love to try something like that :)
@Rolli Nia I think that the people who make them, rather than buy them, do it for the pleasure of making them.
@@MusicalMollyKhan I am 88 years old person,looking for some drum to play for fun and relaxing,meditation,please advice ,Of course I have budget.,don’t know much about music.thank you Molly.
You're so sweet and calm! Makes me wanna buy one. Thank you for this video :)
Aww thank you! 😊
this is the review I wanted.
Thank You!
You're welcome!!

whilst I might have your attention, may I pick your brain?
My daughter is 11 and autistic.
Im looking for a tongue drum for her. I think something easy to play would be best.
I’m willing to spend a little bit for something “good”. I think the less she has to fight with it to make it sing would help encourage her. I really think this is going to be the instrument for her. With the given sound (meditative), yet
percussion (reactive feedback) in nature. That and I think the rest of us wouldn’t mind this instrument being played poorly as we get started.
I’m not musically inclined in anyway. To be honest, its the nomenclature; the physics I more then understand. I intended in using the vocabulary in this video as the base of my research on what to purchase. (Super informative video, has everything I need _even if some of it is over my head_ ).
My question to you is, what am I looking for if my daughter wanted to play _most_ music?
I’m thinking along the lines of an abridged piano. (if a thing even exists).
Would I need multiple drums?
If so how many would be Adequate?
If I were to start with 1 or 2 what would I want?
(This is where the esoteric nature of the vocabulary gets me. Please translate for me)
What frequency/wavelength range is each drum capable of and what area of the spectrum would be good to start with?
My brain tells me middle ‘c’, but i really don’t know means.
Thank you again. 🙇
@@chetopuffs You may be overthinking this. Get a drum that fits your budget. Your daughter won't care about the frequency range or the key. Start with one and see if she enjoys it, let her develop on the instrument and if she feels limited get a larger one that fits musically with the one she has. Par Ex.: If you have a drum in the key of C, buy the second one in a complimentary key. Autism is not limiting musically. I have a friend who is autistic and he makes native American flutes and plays them very well.
Good to find you. I got one of the small ones in red. I'm strictly a singer who's frustrated at not being able to play an instrument though I've tried many for years.
I guess I'll just fool with it for fun. I hope to learn songs for grown-ups though. All the songs in the music book are nursery rhymes, most I'm not familiar with at all.
Anyhow thanks for posting this.
You're welcome! I have a video with 4 songs for pentatonic drum you might enjoy learning, they're more grown up 😊
Hi Molly-thank you for all of your instruction! I’ve enjoyed and am in the process of learning! I have a question. I have a 13 not drum (its green - I know you wanted to know 🙂) and many of the songs that I’m finding that offer tabs or notes for people like me have both the number 4. Am I able to play the songs that offer the 4 with the dot? I’m struggling to find the answer. Thank you!!!
This was very helpful. Thank you
I'm so glad! :D
loved the review!! 😊😊😊
Thank you for your review. Very thorough. Now I am wondering if the actual Panda Drum could be problematic.
Lovely presentation and very helpful, thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you :D
@@MusicalMollyKhan this is the first time i have seen these, they look great and i love your communication skills :)
Very informative and thank you for sharing your knowledge especially about the stickers and using a sharpie. While no children will be playing the one I am getting there is always the chance the stickers will come off.
Nice review helping me make my decision thanks so much
Thank you, glad to help! 😊
and because of your embracing review I now find myself wanting one of the larger drums ... im a bass player and the idea of a huge drum with slightly raised tongues i can get the bow on intrigues me
That would be such an amazing sound! I would love to see this happen 😊
Do you think that coating the numbers with clear nail polish would help them stay on? Or would that interfere or change the tone?
You have such a pleasant manner. Thank you for your great videos.
Awesome review ! So wholesome and thorough 🎼
Thank you 😊
I got the small blue one day. I wanted it for an adult and for a toddler. It was for a wellbeing thing and to relax indoors with and play outside in the forest. I liked the light cheerful bell night notes. I like mine so much I will get a larger one day but I want to learn on my small one to start with.
Wonderful! I'm sure they will be very loved 😊
Thank you. I'm sure your preschoolers love having you as their teacher! 😊🎶
Aww thank you 😊
I’m confused the video says the green drum is 18inch but the link takes me to a 12 inch drum, how big is the drum please because the largest I can find is 12 inch
Really cool to hear hand drums being introduced to pre-school kids. Setting them up to become handpan masters
I hope so! 😊
It looks like it would be a good idea to play around finding the sweet spot on each tongue and putting a small dot there once it is found.
Yes! I think that would definitely help :)
Thank you! Very helpful, you are delightful.
Aww, thank you! 😊
Would you say the large green one in this video or the huedrum is better 🤔
I wish she played more on the small black one, I canceled my amazon order because I’m worried it doesn’t sound so good
This video might help you out: ua-cam.com/video/Dl7fXw9WNpQ/v-deo.html
Just got the lavender one on Wednesday so far I can only play one or 2 songs on it still learning
Thank you very much for this video😘
Thanks for the great advice... in the video you mention the larger one is 18 inch, yet in your notes the link is for a 12 inch... which is true for the one you show?
It's a 12 inch! I misspoke in my video though the link in the comments is correct :)
Your ear gauges and nose ring make me trust your hippie drum review. ❤️

What a great review. You clearly know music inside and out. I want one for some vibrational healing stuff for myself however after laughing at"prepare to be disappointed"......it may have occurred spontaneously.
You're amazing!!! Wasn't sure what they would sound like and super pleased I just found you, I found out even more than I wanted and loving this video. Want to get a fun drum for my daughter for Xmas and didn't want a regular drum kit. She plays the Jews harp, she loves it and I knew we need something cool to match that. Thank you so much 💖 absolutely priceless info here 💝
I hope she loves it, these are great instruments :)
excellent demonstration! good to know that some of the tongues are a little inconsistent. still not a bad deal for the price
It's really not! Thank you 😊
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

I love your presentation. I was thinking of buying one for me and one for my niece who studies music and you have clarified my doubts and questions. Thanks!...
Thank you. I hope she really enjoys it!
Hi There, Thanks for this. In the video you metion an 18inch drum, the green one, but then I don't see a link for an 18 inch. Could you post that?
Thank you WOW I know now to wait.😌🎇
Can you turn the Tongue Drum into a drum kit like Hi-hats and Toms etc. or can you just play tunes on it? Thanks.
She is so stoned ! I love it ! Haha
This is great I found a new channel.
Molly, what is the brand of the black drum you showcased, as well as the large green one please?
Thanks for the video! It would be helpful if you could tell us the brand names of the drums you are showing. Thanks!
Exactly. Without the brands, this is pretty useless.
Really wish I had watched this before I ordered mine
Hi Molly,
Do you have a link to the 18 inch steel drum in this video, you listed a 12 inch on the link below but in video you says its 18 inch. Thanks so much for your help.
Hello ☺️
Unfortunately, I can't find any songs or sheet music for my tongue drum and would be very happy if you might have a tip for me
I actually have a video coming Wednesday on just that subject! A lot of people have asked :D
I watched a lot of kalimba and tongue drum video's by you today. And I just wanted to send you a thank you message. You explain everything so clearly! Your calm voice and laughs make them so fun to watch too ^^. You come across as a very sweet and happy person Molly! Thank you so much.
Aww, thank you! I'm so glad my videos have been helpful for you! Enjoy your music 😊
Thank you! i have to say i have had to return some drums in the past because they have not been what i ordered some sites even have pictures of both types of drum in the decripion. sadly i even email before ordering to say which notes are the one i need and still sent the wrong one!!
That is so frustrating! I think a lot of the people selling these drums don't have any musical knowledge, which can be so unhelpful! 😩
Hey! Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking to buy the biggest one for my musical projects. You mentioned that most of them aren't perfectly tuned. Is it also the case of the big green one? Or is that one a bit closer to be in perfect tuned? It's to be used in music production so it needs to be in tuned with other instruments, thanks!!
My big green one is about 5-10 cents sharp on most notes. This can be easily remedied with some neodymium magnets, as the big green one is magnetic and therefore tunable. It is definitely harder if your drum arrives a bit flat, though :(
@@MusicalMollyKhan Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. It's appreciated.
Thanks for that! You've convinced me that, if I buy a tongue drum, I'd better play it first. So no Amazon for me . . . I wonder if the instrument makers (Meinl, for one) make more consistent instruments.
I think that's the best idea for a lot of people. I personally haven't tried any besides the ones all over Amazon, so I'm afraid I have no insight to offer!
Everything Meinl makes is of good quality but you will pay for that quality.
I bit of Velcro carefully placed to slightly muffle the overtones or magnetic take works wonders. If you plan on using these things in an ensemble get 2 fine tune with quality tuning forks. Because of the sympathetic nature of the sound a inexpensive electronic tuner, no.
In an group setting having 2 professionally tuned to melodic Am or chromatic Cm between the 2 is good. An appropriate stand with neodymium magnets to secure it from The Side is best.
Now for some stuff: it's possible to play it with 2 mallets per hand for chords.
Longer more accurate mallets with smaller heads of hardwood like maple steel head and a hard plastic set. My handles are a stiff steel coated with plastic. The heads screw off
Mic'ed up from the bottom with an inexp
That sounds like a great idea! And tons of fun - once upon a time I learned the two mallet per hand technique for marimba, maybe I could still remember a bit about it.. 😊
For the 12 inch diatonic tongue drum. I was wondering what keys corresponded to what numbers on the drum, because I have no idea
Great question! I'm actually working on a video for this. Basically, if your drum is in C, than 1=C, 2=D, 3=E, 4=F, 5=G, 6=A, and 7=B :D
Where can I get the 18 inch green drum?Thank you for your videos 😊
Thank you. Now I know more.
Loved it...!
HI! in your video you said the green one is 18" but it is linked to a 12" inch. Just checking to make sure it's 12!
I’ve looked everywhere for reviews of the Balmy Drum. Do you know anything about that one?
Hi Molly. I bought a 10 inch steel tongue drum from a music store, a couple of days later one of the tongue's went out of tune, so back to the store I went. They were quite helpful in getting the tongue back in tune. The drum that I have has a hole in the base, when looking at the tongue's from the inside of the drum there were small magnets, by moving them a little the tongue came back into tune.
That's such a neat feature! These drums unfortunately don't come with the magnets, but if you had little ones you could perhaps get it to tune more flat by trying that - I haven't given it a try yet!
Yes, I've seen videos where small magnets are positioned to lower res. frequency of tongues. So it seems that the tuning 'fixes' are therefore: raising Cents by filing (or I guess if bad, v.small hole drilling), & lowering Cents by adding/shifting v.small Neo disc magnets.... my smaller 6" steel tongue drum due in a few days time, so let's see!! Good tip there jleon 😷🎶👍🍻
@@theaudioeng this is a great idea, thank you!
@@MusicalMollyKhan 😁👍🎶
Thank you for you video❤️
My daughter asked for a Panda Drum. I’m my search for reviews I found your wonderful videos. Have you tried a Panda brand yet? If so your thoughts? I feel like I should go with one if the other drums I saw you review but I don’t know anything about tongue drums. Your videos are wonderful. Thank you very much.
MOLLY, can you give a couple of recommendation for tongue drum to be played by hand, NOT using mallets? and I do want higher quality.
Thank you for your videos, you really know a lot about this type of instrument. I purchased a 12" drum in C Major for my daughter but we are it not sure where to start. It came without the numbers. I could surely stick some numbers on it but not sure which number corresponds to which note. Could you make a video for beginners who have no background in music? Thanks!!
I can do that! For now, download a tuner onto your phone (I recommend Pano tuner) to see which notes are which. Then place the numbers as follows: C is 1, D is 2, etc. Then A is 6 and B is 7 😊
@@MusicalMollyKhan Thank you so much, I will look into downloading the app. Thanks a lot!!
Any suggestion on where to find sheet music for these would be great! I have the second one you showed but with an extra 5 note in the middle. It sounds quite nice most of the time. :) I want a larger one but until then I'm trying to find sheet music that fits in that range. I want to get better at playing before purchasing a large one. :)
Hmm, finding sheet music for pentatonic instruments can be quite tricky - they're usually more improvisational! I did find this ( www.amazon.com/Music-Children-Pentatonic-Margaret-Murray/dp/379579501X/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=pentatonic+music&qid=1595424560&sr=8-14 ) though I'm not sure that would fit the range of the tongue drum.
How do you tell the difference between diatonic and pentatonic? Do the numbers mesure scale degrees and you look for the seven?
Great question! A diatonic scale contains eight notes, often listed as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and sometimes 8 (which is a higher 1).
A pentatonic scale has 5 notes, commonly listed as 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 for a major pentatonic and 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 for a minor pentatonic scale 😊
I' m glad I came across this. Was looking for one for my ten year old granddaughter. That little one sounds like a toddler' s xelophone ( or however you spell it. ) I saw a beautiful.ligt- up type but the website is in German ( I think) and I no comprendo
I have seen those light up ones and they are gorgeous! I haven't heard one though. I'm glad the video was helpful!
Molly, can you help me pick out a good quality larger size steel tongue drum, (to give me a beautifull thick type tone) that would give me 528HZ. Thank you!
What makes the 1st one not pantitonic but the 2nd one is pantitonic? I thought that meant its 5 tones yet the 2nd one had more than 5 keys.
thanks a lot for this video! super helpful. how do i know if its c or d?
ua-cam.com/video/PNyj_QGc66g/v-deo.html this video should help 😊
You say the big one is 18", but that addy goes to a 12". also, I think looking at it, it is considerably bigger than 12. So, how much was that, + where did you get it?
