Steel Tongue Drum 6 Inch 8 Notes Musical Instrument | Percussion for Meditation, Calming, Music Gift for Adults Beginners (Malachite)

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.

As expected. Great quality, value, and has a beautiful sound! Easy for my kids to use and enjoy and the purple is lovely.

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.

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!

Sounds ok. It’s smaller than expected.

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!

I’ve ordered several and the kids love them. A different and unique gift for kids that does not break the bank.

I bought this little steel drum as a gift for my 94 year old friend. She is in a care facility, and this works beautifully for her to still enjoy playing a musical instrument without it being too loud and disrupting to the other residents. She holds the drum in her lap, and every note still sounds beautiful. We did change out the numbers for letters because she could recognize the chords better that way. She has really been enjoying this, and she says the tones are "soothing for her soul".

I bought it for my grandson for Xmas , I m looking forward to playing together the songs in the booklet like twinkle twinkle little star . It sounds heavenly! Brings out the little kid in me. I’m sure we will have fun time on Xmas day.

I had no previous knowledge of this type on instrument. My kids and I decided to buy it. We all love it. Ages 9, 12, and me (late 30s). So it's not for only toddlers. It's a fun instrument. We found websites that taught us how to play songs like Mary Had a Little Lamb since we didn't know most of the songs in the songbook it came with. But that's okay because it's fun to just experiment with. If you hit the tongue in the middle you get a clear tone and there is no way for it to be "out of tune" as some reviewers said. This would make a great gift for anyone who loves music. The quality is beautiful - it is really nice to look at - and the sound is relaxing.

Bought for one grandchild now another. Nicely designed and made, beautiful sounds , fun for the child and a surprisingly nice sound for the listeners. Highly recommend.

This little drum is fantastic. The sound is beautiful and you can play quite a bit of songs on it. It’s perfect for little hands are adults. It’s easy to pack with you in your travel bag. It is made of a metal that doesn’t break or cave it when the drum is accidentally dropped. It is made beautifully. It does come with drum sticks which help you achieve the beautiful. I find the numbers on the keys are not bright or large enough and the number stickers fall off over time. This is the second one I have purchased. The first time was for myself and this one for my grandchild.

I place this on the kitchen table while my baby waits for her food to be ready. I leave it a bit out of her reach and give her a stick. She has been getting better and better at using the stick the way it is meant to be used and hitting the drum. She likes the sound, I like the sound, and it is a great way to bring in some positive reinforcement when she hits it right, and good practice for her dexterity. I find that with a bit of practice this tongue drum makes beautiful sounds. The stuff that comes with the drum are good. As with what appears to be all of these drums, the stickers don't stick very well to keep the numbers in place. I would recommend this.
