HANDPANS
TONGUE DRUMS
Engineered for the Professional Percussionist
A Cosmic Blend of Sound
MELODIC HANDPAN
Handpans are musical instruments that are a subset of the steelpan. The beautiful tonal characteristics will remind you of steel drums, but handpans are only played by hand, with no sticks or mallets, so the sound has reduced attack but is much more mellow. The shape of Pearl’s 22” Awakening Series Melodic and Euphonic handpans feature a center tone field surrounded by eight tone fields. Each tone field has a fundamental note, an octave, and an overtone, so each field has three notes. The hand-crafted steel construction of the instrument is designed so each tone field holds its tuning. The Melodic handpan features a patina finish and is meticulously tuned to the D Minor scale, and responds to your finger strikes with excellent sonority.
AWAKENING SERIES TONGUE DRUMS Pearl proudly introduces the Awakening Series of 6 Tongue Drums: Three 8 note and three 9 note drums tuned to pentatonic scales.
Tongue drums derive their name from the tongue shaped areas where you strike the drum. The results are a cosmic blend of tones that are as much fun to hear as play.
