- In our "Steel Tongue Drum Sound Comparison" video, we give a small sound example of each drum and explore these drums from a musical perspective. Here at Dapper Kitty Music, we get to compare and play a large variety of steel tongue drums! The tongue drums played in this video are Meinl, Yahpetes, Yoliyoqu, Aklot, InMaker, and Rav Vast. If you're wanting to listen to more of these amazing drums, check out our meditations, jams, and reviews on our channel! We are Dapper Kitty Music.
Update: We now have a follow-up video that explores various kinds of steel tongue drum mallets: • Steel Tongue Drum Mall...
A quick note: All of the drums shown in this comparison video were purchased by us for our studio. This video contains no paid promotion.

Great job! I appreciate your listing the actual names of each type on the screen.
Hi, Carol. Thank you so much for the kind comments on this video. The instruments are so much fun and interesting to play; they also have so many creative possibilities!
These sound so calming! ❤
What a sound blue in the middle wow
Gorgeous, I'm getting one for my birthday. I've always wanted one
I appreciate the spelling you flash on the screen for further research and in the beginning your playing a few at the same time. That is very helpful for distinguishing the timbre. Best demo I’ve seen since my research before buying!
Thank you! We'll make sure to keep doing the captions for other creative musical education videos that we make. Some of these tongue drums are easier to find, purchase, and get right away than others but the situation can easily change. We had to wait for a couple of months to get the mini Meinl tongue drums and a month for the Rav Vast one. The others arrived either right away or close to the time we ordered them. We will have more videos that demonstrate that timbres of these drums in comparative ways. Best wishes! --Melissa and Tony at Dapper Kitty Music
Amazing audio, feel this beautiful music realm
Glad you liked it! We appreciate your kind words.
Love this sound! :o
Thank you! We wanted the video to feature the sound of these instruments as much as possible while teaching about them.
Hey where can I get tabs? Looking for videogame music mostly. The videogame subnautica could use music With one of these.. fits the world so perfectly
I found a pretty cool brand - Vibedrums - the have a 528hz scale on one side and a 432hz scale on the other. Well either side can be tuned to your liking but I thought it was a brilliant idea as I was looking for 528/432 specifically!
Thanks for the recommendation. We want to explore more tongue drums and add more of these sounds to our studio. I've been using them in classes not only to teach tongue drumming but also for applying some basic music concepts and demonstrating these to student who are new to studying music.
Hey :)
I can also reccomend you the Aquadrum Pro 11. It's tuneable! So you have one instrument and can play countles scales...
Yes! By all means. :) We're always looking to try new tongue drums. Will definitely look into these. Thank you so much for your suggestion.
Did you lean by just playing or for you take a course???
Muy buen video.Gracias!!
Hola, Maria Laura! Gracias! :)
Hello, i am new to tongue drums. So i would like to ask whether the Meinl one is magnetic as i have seen that by using magnets you can change the tune...
Hi, Mary. This is a really good question. Yes, the Meinl ones are all magnetic. We use small refrigerator magnets--a box of 60 of various round sizes (these are tiny) called Nazzo magnets. These are very strong neodymium magnets (whichever brand you can find for your tongue drums, just make sure they are neodymium magnets). These can stack so that you can use a variety of tuning but we will warn that the magnets are quite strong and tricky sometimes to pull apart. Still, so much better than altering the tongue drum by filing (which we don't recommend). The magnets are also very useful if you want a go-around from drilling to add a transducer and attach it to an amplifier. The Nazzo magnets come in a convenient case and are reasonably priced. You can get a variety of tunings out of these but a little goes a long way.
@@DapperKittyMusic thank you so much for the info!!

Hello again, i bought yesterday the meinl sonic energy drum but unfortunately is not magnetic as you had told me. Is there another way to change tone except from using magnets?
Hi, Mary. The Meinl Sonic Energy large tongue drums are magnetic but the small ones in the collection are not. Sorry about the confusion--we thought that you were asking about the larger ones, which work fine with neodymium magnets. With the small pentatonic drums in the Sonic Energy Collection, they aren't really tunable. We tested the option of adding a rolled piece of masking tape on a small magnet. This works for a little while if you have some good tape and can roll it small; however, the sound dampens. If anyone has other ideas, please let us know (we mean aside from filing or making permanent changes to the instrument). We hope that you will still enjoy your tongue drum.
@@DapperKittyMusic thats ok... Actually i want to change it to 432hz so if there is even a permanent way to do it, if you could please tell me how to so it, it woud be very much appreciated!! Thank you!!!
@@Mary-gp2mh This may be a job for a music shop that has instrumental repair and someone who has experience with modifying musical instruments. We have had other instruments modified, such as having a bass guitar with frets turned into a fretless guitar. They will have tools and the knowledge of what kinds of materials would be needed to modify your instrument (and may like the challenge). We think that they may suggest either hammering or filing the tongues or finding a way--perhaps soldering or gluing weights such as small magnets or a resonate metal--to weigh them down if needed. A tongue drum would likely be new to them but they would have the expertise over other options. Also, you can get an estimate and find out what they think should be done before agreeing to it. This is interesting. Please keep us posted.
Playing the drum are we playing on the bass clef
The drums in this video all tend to have an upper register range, so music notation for them would be on the treble clef. We'd love to have a bass-range tongue drum! Maybe one day in our near future!😍
