LENA Drum "OM" C | Blue

LENA Drum "OM" C blue is a melodic steel tongue drum with 8 notes in C major pentatonic tuning. It features a pleasant, clear sound, rich sustain, and its surface is decorated with an engraved Om symbol. Thanks to its pentatonic tuning, all notes harmonize naturally with each other.

It is played mainly with soft mallets. You can play with one mallet or two mallets — simple melodies, gentle rhythms, songs based on numbered notation, or improvisation. It can also be played gently with fingers, which produces a softer, quieter sound.

Its medium size makes it easy to hold and transport. It comes in a blue finish, complete with a padded bag and mallets. It is suitable for meditation, relaxation, sound therapy, and home playing.

How to Play the Drum

Place the drum in front of you or hold it in the palm of your hand, and play the individual notes using the soft mallets. One mallet is ideal for single notes and simple melodies, while two mallets allow for smoother play and faster alternation between notes.

Thanks to the pentatonic tuning, the notes naturally harmonize with one another, so you can play 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.
