LENA Drum Brown C | Brown

LENA Drum Brown C is a larger melodic steel tongue drum with 8 notes in C major pentatonic tuning. It features a clear sound, rich resonance, and thanks to the pentatonic tuning, the notes naturally harmonize together.

It is played primarily with soft mallets. You can play with one mallet or two mallets - melodies, gentle rhythms, songs using numbered notation, or your own improvisations. It can also be played gently with fingers, resulting in a quieter and softer sound.

The larger body gives the drum a fuller sound and longer sustain. It comes in a brown finish, including a bag and mallets. It is ideal for meditation, relaxation, sound therapy, playing at home, as well as extended intuitive playing.

How to Play the Drum

Place the drum in front of you and strike the individual notes with soft mallets. One mallet is great for single notes and slower melodies, while two mallets allow for smoother playing, gentle rhythms, and faster switching between notes.

Thanks to the pentatonic tuning, the notes naturally harmonize, allowing you to play even without knowing sheet music, purely by ear. For simple songs using numbered notation, you can mark the notes with numbers. You can also play with your fingers, though the sound will be quieter and softer.
