Tongue Drum Music

An hypnotic loop of 8 year old playing the tongue drum endlessly.
Musician Tyrone Douglas plays 'Water drops'.
And there are instructional Youtube vids of how to build and make them.

Nice. Makes me want to put on my favorite Thomas Mapfumo album. Mbiras not tongue drums, but...

Oh that's lovely. They sound wonderful but they also look cosy somehow

Nice sounds! And Cris (the woman behind Get Hands Dirty) is awesome as always.

I've got one by my big comfy chair by the window and it turns aimless finger drumming into pretty pretty music.

I had no idea what a tongue drum was and am pleasantly surprised. This is perfect video game jungle music. It is very watery sounding. I absolutely love it.
