-- FEATURES --
**13 Gauge Stainless Steel which improves sound, sustain, resonance and overall durability over the thinner 14 gauge low carbon steel used to make other drums of this type. Plus you don't have to worry about rust forming on the inside of the drum!
*Finish: The drum is in its unpainted natural state so you have the freedom to paint it any color you want or you can just polish it up and keep it as is
*Resonance: The Parabolic resonance Chamber combined with our high quality 13 gauge steel creates a drum where the notes resonate for 8 to 10 seconds without sacrificing portability.
*Harmonics: The playing tabs are perfectly spaced for optimum playability and harmonics between the other notes
Versatile: Can be used for playing music, meditation, stress reduction, sound therapy and much more.
Lightweight, for ease in transportation, without loss of sound- only 6.6 Lbs (3 Kilos)
Slim Design so it will fit into your knapsack or rucksack - 5 1/2 inches total height by 12 inch diameter (13.5 cm x 30.5cm)
18 tuned notes in two Pentatonic scales with the most logical and friendly note layout.
Octagonal notes to maximise the "sweet spot" and to add a bit of symbolism (see " The Notes" below)

SIDE 1:
F-Minor: F3 / G#3 / A#3 / C4 / D#4 / F4 / G#4 / A#4 / C5

This unique instrument with a melodious tone will inspire beginners as well as professionals. The Double Vibe Drum provides two playable heads with 9 tuned notes on each for a total of 18 notes. Each head (side) is tuned to a different scale. It can be played using the hands or with our specially-designed mallets. The unique design provides a hybrid sound, similar to striking a “singing bowlâ€?or HandPan Drum, yet offers a more portable and user-friendly instrument.
Created using eighteen-notes, the Double Vibe Drum is typically tuned to major and minor pentatonic scales to ease the playing techniques and produce harmonious tones, and is arranged so that each note has its octave adjacent to it. This simple, logical and harmonically-beneficial layout makes the Vibe Drum the easiest and cleanest steel tongue drum available. It can be used for playing anything from a tune to soft meditational tones.
The Notes
Shape: We chose a Octagonal shape (patent pending) for our notes, even though it is much more costly to cut, for Three basic reasons. The first is because in our opinion they just look better than the big rectangles or simple curved lines. The second is it focuses your attention on the "Sweet Spot" of the note which increases playability. Third because of the symbolism associated with the octagon ( 8 steps to enlightenment, 8 fold path, etc)
Spacing: The spacing of the notes is important. If you have a lot of notes jammed in very close to each other when you strike one note it will partially activate the notes next to it, which causes a certain amount of harmonic distortion and interference. Our unique octagonal shape allows us to fit in 9 notes while still allowing plenty of space horizontally and vertically between them.
The Vibedrum has been around since 2008 and has been produced in the USA the entire time. The sound quality of the drum is excellent and we have designed this drum to give optimal tones along with ease of portability. Each drum is hand tuned and tested.
