HOPWELL Steel Tongue Drum - 13 Inches 15 Notes Tongue Drum - Hand Pan Drum with Music Book, Handpan Drums Mallets and Carry Bag, D Major (Navy Blue)

This is a beautiful drum at an excellent price. The pitch is dead on and the tones resonate beautifully. I expect the comments about poor tone are more about the user striking the notes incorrectly. You have to find the "sweet spot" on any instrument like this. Highly recommend!

After some research, this delivered the healing sound I wanted. Excellent quality. Decent size. Mallets make it loud and after some hang flinging with the tips of your fingers, you can get the sound to ring true with touch. Super fun to learn. I learned my first couple songs in an hour and took off from there. I absolutely love it. It's great for anxiety and calming down. It's incredible. Wish got one year ago and wish I learned several years ago.

Love it! Originally I purchased one the 15 note tongue drum for my grandchild but ended up buying one for myself too.In addition to the carrying case, it came with a book that included basic "how to" instructions as well as some very easy to play songs to help start you on your musical journey. The "notes" are numbered on the drum & in the book so you don't need to "read" music to successfully play songs and makes it easier to create/write your own songs. However, I do wish I knew what notes are actually on the drum.It produces a very relaxing tone & is pleasant to listen to. I am so glad I purchased it.

Like others have said, most of the notes sound pretty solid, but as you go up the scale, the higher notes don't resonate as well. I think this has less to do with tuning and moreso how big the tongues on the higher notes are, they don't have much leeway to vibrate, and hitting the sweet spot is a necessity at that range. This isn't bad to start, but I would probably pick up a bigger drum in the future.The included sticks help, but the finger pads take a lot to get used to. If you can play by ear, you'll be able to find your notes pretty easily. If you can't, the included guide book is okay, but it would be better if the notes weren't listed as numbers but, you know, actual notes. This might work for someone just starting, but if you're used to reading sheet music, it's a little irksome, but not world-ending.The included carrying case, on the other hand, feels CHEAP, and not in a good way! The padding is thin, the strap feels weak, and I don't trust the metal connectors, hence the 4 stars. For now it's better than nothing, but I will most likely find a different case to take it around in .

Beautiful drum, sounds melodic. I have no musical experience and am middle aged. This is tuned to 440hz and is in D key. It is not the 432hz designed for meditation, they are very hard to find and are non existent in this price point. The high octave tongues need to be struck in the center of the tongue and harder than the others. All other tongues work best when struck near the top of the tongue. I'm playing chords, it sounds beautiful.

I was impressed by the richness of sound the drum makes. Comes with an easy to understand book with several songs and a nice case. I bought it for my oldest son, but everyone in our household wants to play it!

This is a GREAT drum, and the price dropped which pushed me to buy it when I did. I don't have any comparisons to any major label drums, but this is a solid build. It sounds amazing and came with everything including a convenient case.I got this for my toddler who isn't yet two, but they enjoy the sound and as they are learning numbers, I can throw nuber combinations at him to try to repeat and play. I enjoy playing it too....the sounds are just infinite and it really does FEEL good.It's built to last and I don't see any issue with having this around for a long time. I would recommend this for anybody looking for something like this. There is no need to spend twice as much for something else.

It's great fun, easy to learn, and sounds great.

Il est parfait. C'est trop cool de jouer. Solide. Beau. Beau son. Ce sera des heures et heures d'entraînement. Le son est beau. Il vient avec un petit cahier (en anglais) avec les indications comment jouer et des mélodies par numéro (qui sont collés sur les surfaces de l'instrument).

Tenía miedo que llegara dañado y llego muy bien y lo amee

Sounds really nice but I think the mallets are a little heavy to get a good sound out of the highest 3 notes, they just don't rebound fast enough not to mute the note as you play it. Maybe with practice I can get it to sound right without using different mallets. It's quite loud compared to the small drums,seems good quality. Overall, I like it

Fun and sounds great. Good value as well. If you were considering buying one i recommend it

El hanpan llegó muy bien y a tiempo, y el vendedor contestó muy amable y claro a mis preguntas, es un instrumento musical muy divertido y creativo tocar en él. Gracias!
