There isn’t one. This instrument goes by many names: tongue drum, steel tongue drum, hank drum, butadrum, hand drum, hank drum etc. As it’s a relatively new instrument, several names exist for it but the exact term would still be Steel Tongue Drum. This word is rather long and difficult to remember so it has been shortened to Tongue Drum despite the existence of a percussion instrument with the same name but made of wood. Be careful not to fool yourself and buy a wood tongue drum instead of a steel tongue drum ;)What’s the difference between a hang drum (handpan) and a Beat Root tongue drum?
The difference between a hang drum (also called a handpan) and the Beat Root steel tongue drum is not only in the manufacturing:- The hang drum features hammered and distorted strike zones while the Beat Root tongue drum has cut ones.
- A Hang drum is tuned on a single scale that can not be changed afterwards. Our Multiscale tongue drum features 6 interchangeable scales in one tongue drum.
- The hang drum is much larger (24 inches in diameter), while the Beat Root tongue drum is much smaller at 12 inches in diameter, which makes the latter much easier to transport.
- Hang drums are much more expensive, up to 6 times more than our tongue drum (hang drum cost between 1500$ and 3000$, our Multi Scale tongue drum is 496$)
- A hang drum is very fragile because of its light composite material and its hammered strikes zones. It can be detuned after a simple shock. Our tongue drums are made of steel and the notes being laser cut can withstand shocks without detuning.
- Expect to wait up to a year to get a hang drum while Beat Root steel tongue drums are available for immediate use.
