Pearl has introduced six new Awakenings Tongue Drums, including three eight-note and three nine-note drums tuned to pentatonic scales.
Named after the tongue-shaped area where players strike the drum, Pearl Tongue drums can be played with either fingers or a set of mallets, which are included with each drum. Each of the new drums features a 10” hardened steel shell with precise laser cut tongues for accurate and consistent tuning, as well as three rubber isolation feet on each drum allow the instrument to ring freely. Every drum in the series features a different lacquer finish that reveals the polished steel shell towards the center of the instrument. A percentage of the sales from each Awakenings Tongue Drum will be donated to The Rhythmic Arts Project.
