Information

Meet "Old Pine", the largest of our Tongue Drums. A Tongue Drums is not a true drum but an idiophone. All of our steel drums are drums are made in BC by the master craftspeople at Kindred Spirit Drums. This particular model is tuned in the Akebono sound family: "The Akebono scale is a musical scale commonly used in traditional Japanese music. Akebono and the Diatonic scale use the same intervals, but Akebono has no fixed tonic; as such, any Akebono note can be the tonic. Strong, Solid, Interesting." -Kindred Spirit Drums. This drum is from the Hyperion Series. It's a 14" overtone steel-tongue drum made from a heat-treated carbon-steel for optimal sound quality. Each tongue on this series is tuned with 1 overtone (an octave of the fundamental tone) using the Linotune program, to give additional layers to their sound profile. These drums have exquisite tonality with long, lingering notes that will compliment your yoga or meditation practice. This is the largest and most ceremonial of our drums. The drums include an internal rubber dampening system, installed pick-up system, a wooden laser-cut emblem, affixed sound-hole plug to improve the bass frequencies, and non slip rubber feet. This drum measures 36 centimeters round/5 1/4 inches high and it weighs 5kg. All of our drums rent with a brief instructional booklet, carrying case and a set of hand-made mallets. Drums may be played with thumbs, fingertips or mallets and do not require great force to produce a good volume. Please play lightly in order to keep the drum in tune.
