Rain Drum for Outside Garden, 6 Inches 8 Notes Steel Tongue Chakra Drums, Waterproof Meditation Rain Chime, Musical Instruments for Adult Gift with Bag, Music Book, Drum Mallets (Green)

I got 2 of these for my 3 and 5 year old grandkids for Christmas and one for my 8 year old niece who lives in a different state. They all LOVED it and couldn't stop playing with it. My 8 year old niece mastered all the songs in the songbook within 2 days. The 8 inch size is perfect for them to easily handle, and the echoing sound these things make is so pretty. These came with a round case that has a zipper closure and all the pieces fit nicely inside it. I find it easiest to put the loose pieces in the bottom then place the drum on top. The case is a pliable nylon fabric with a carrying handle, and it makes a neat storage space for the drum and drumsticks. The drumsticks are better for my granddaughters versus the fingertips as their little fingers are too small for the fingertip drumsticks to stay on. I will say the rubber ends of the drumsticks may pop off easily if they are pulled on and we had to remind the littles to leave them alone to keep them from popping off.

For Christmas, I decided to get two of these mini 6 inch, steel-tongue drums in deep green; one for each for my grown daughters in their 20’s. Both are creatives, and just love making and listening to music! You can choose to play the drum with the two mallets included (along with their rest stand), or with your fingers. There are 8 notes which can be tuned by either slightly lifting or pressing down on each individual “tongue”. Even better, it comes with an excellent instruction guide/music book with songs to play. The final items which are thoughtfully included are a strip of stickers with duplicate numbers for each note, and a great durable black bag to store it all. The only “odd” thing I noticed was there is no number “8” note on the drum. Instead, there are two numeral “1’s” but one has a “•”dot above the number “1”. After pondering it, I realized one of those notes is probably just an octave higher than the regular “1” note. It’s really no problem once you figure that out.😊 This cute drum has three round rubber “legs” making it very stable. The drum is sturdy and well made with a good weight to it, but it’s hollow inside as it should be. It’s well powder coated with a waterproof and scratch resistant paint that protects it from heavy usage and rusting. In the long run, this will help keep the tones sounding beautiful for a long time. Therefore, you can generate your own music, or use it outdoors as a “rain drum” for nature to make her own song. Now how freaking cool is that! There have been various studies showing that vibrations of certain sounds can actually help heal our minds and bodies. In fact, using “sound baths” was a popular treatment in VA hospitals during the 1940’s. The ethereal tones which this drum emanates can easily be incorporated into a meditation session. Humming or chanting along with the notes can help you relax too. Overall, this little steel drum is an object which has the magical ability of holding your interest, reducing your stress, and sparking your creativity for hours! I would highly recommend it as an unusual and thoughtful gift for anyone, at an extremely affordable price! They are a big hit with my kids, and I’ll probably get one for myself as well.

Overall, great little tongue drum for the money. Pretty finish. We bought it to give as a gift for a family member to use outside as a rain drum. We tested it under our kitchen faucet and it sounded beautiful. In my video review I compare it to a Panda Drum, which we also have. I had a hard time knowing what drum to get when I first started looking. Hopefully this video can help people decide. This one is great as a beginner drum, I think, or for kids. I do think the Pandra Drum is better quality and sounds better, but it also cost quite a bit more.

Cheap off tune tongue drum. I checked it with my auto tune and every note is close, but flat. I’m not composing music, so I don’t mind the cheap chimes. It is very soothing to softly play a plink around, but every once in a while the jump from a flat to a sharp is off putting. It takes a bit of practice to get the clear ping from strikes, bit fun nonetheless. I don’t think you’ll find anything better at this price range.

Rain Drum was purchased for our 2 year old grandson to play with. He loves music and loves to dance. It's a little difficult to use because the numbers are not in consecutive order so using the music book and playing songs will take some time to remember where the numbers are located on the rain drum. The sound is soothing and I am sure it will give us many years of fun. It is made of high quality steel and is fun to play with. The price was reasonable too.

Excellent Quality! Love the sound. Great for kids & adults. Love the green color. Would buy again!

I love the sound this makes when using the drumsticks, but putting it out in the rain is a waste of time. You cannot hear the notes at all. Maybe during a hail storm......

Wonderful sound and easy to play. Instrument has held up well to consistent playing and is high quality. Paint has held up. The gold numbers are stickers but it comes with extra.

Le encantó a mi esposa

Great Christmas gift for a familly.
