Can anyone play a HAPI steel tongue drum?
Sure! Our drums are ideal for jamming and playing percussive beats. Anyone who wants an easy to learn intuitive percussion musical instrument can play one. The note layout makes it easy to jump right into grooving rhythms. An intuitive arrangement to the notes makes it easy to explore new musical horizons. The strong meditative tones are calming and great for relaxing anytime. And because of its compact design you can take it outside to enjoy on a nature hike or sitting around the campfire in the evenings.

Why choose a HAPI Drum?
We created the HAPI Drum in 2008. The original and best sounding steel tongue drums on the market today. We have many features that enhance our drums.
Musical Steel. We use high quality musical steel when producing all of our drums.
Sound Quality. Each drum we sell, every single note on every drum, is hand tuned by us for pitch accuracy.
Rubber Feet. Installed on our drums is a set of sound isolating rubber feet. This allows the drum to be played in your lap or on any surface for enjoyment.
Bottom Sound Port. The bottom sound port allows the sound to escape and releases the tone from the body so that the notes do not overlap each other.
Dampening System. Additional dampening of the notes and steel tongue drum body is required to keep these drums from becoming discordant. We have developed a breakthrough proprietary technique built into each HAPI Drum which provides excellent resonance while supplying the correct amount of dampening.
Mallets. We supply each drum with mallets designed to bring out pure tone.
Instruction Booklet. Each HAPI Drum inlcudes a complete instruction booklet on how to play the drum.
Pentatonic Scales. The word "pentatonic" comes from the Greek word pente meaning five and tonic meaning tone. It is a musical scale that consists of five notes within one octave. Because of their arrangement, pentatonic scales are often used to introduce beginners to music. You don't need a musical background to enjoy a HAPI Drum. There are no wrong notes. You can play any note in any order and the drum will sound great.
Reliability. We offer fast reliable shipping via UPS and USPS from Oakhurst, California.
Satisfaction Guaranteed. Your satisfaction is very important to us. We guarantee satisfaction on every product we sell.
