Ocarina Wind 5.5" Steel Tongue Drum: Unboxing & Initial Review

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

I really love these little pentatonic drums! The tone isn't anything to write home about, but it's not bad either 😊

[@musicalmiscellany]

Yeah. It certainly pales in comparison to the VibeDrum or Freezbee... but I really like the note layout and it sounds better than I expected.

[@h2o1969]

It sounded really good with the mallets.

[@musicalmiscellany]

That seems to be the popular opinion. I agree though, it doesn't have much resonance when played with fingers. Thanks for watching.

I like it’s tone when played with the mallets.

[@musicalmiscellany]

Thanks Steve. It's not a full sounding as the larger drums but kinda fun nonetheless.

That's actually a great find (pentatonic) because I've noticed like you said most of the other tongue drums on Amazon are tuned to C major I actually did get one in D major which is kind of cool but most of the other ones are C-major so that was very neat that this one is actually pentatonic making it more like for therapeutic use or you know no note is a mistake kind of thing and I thought the same thing I hate those little rubber things they just squeeze the life out of my fingers they are worse than the banjo pics you know what I mean thanks so much for another great fun video take care. And yes I've gotten quite a few of those same booklets a muscle we made in the same factory I guess

Ha ha. Too funny. That's exactly why I decided to review this one. Had it been in C Major I would've passed.
