Description
The Beginner Gift: 10″ Tongue Drum + Beginner Course
A great beginner drum with eight notes, and a short course that starts at the very first one.
The Meinl Sonic Energy 10″ Compact Steel Tongue Drum is tuned to B minor. Its notes sound good together in almost any order, so the first few minutes already sound like music. It’s light enough to rest on a lap and comes with a soft bag.
Tongue Drum Foundations is the first two lessons of the Tongue Drum Master Course, plus a short introduction. It goes slowly and starts from the beginning. It also includes a $49 credit toward the full Master Course, for anyone who wants to keep going.

- One 10″ Meinl Sonic Energy Compact Steel Tongue Drum, B minor, 8 notes, 432 Hz, dark green (CSTD1DG)
- One pair of Meinl wooden mallets with soft-wrapped rubber heads and cover
- One soft carrying bag
- Tongue Drum Foundations, an online beginner course
- A $49 credit toward the Tongue Drum Master Course
