A tongue drum, also known as a tank drum or a steel tongue drum, is a musical instrument that is played by striking the tongues of the drum with mallets or your hands. The tongues are made of metal, and they are tuned to different pitches. Tongue drums are often used for meditation and relaxation, as the sound of the drum can be very calming and peaceful.
Tongue drums have been around for centuries, and they are believed to have originated in Africa. The first tongue drums were made from hollowed-out logs, and the tongues were made from animal skins. Over time, tongue drums have evolved, and they are now made from a variety of materials, including metal, wood, and ceramic. Tongue drums are also now tuned to a wider range of pitches, and they are used for a variety of purposes, including music therapy, meditation, and relaxation.
