Steel Tongue Happy Drum Om Mandala Engraved - 16cm

You settle into a quiet corner, cup the drum in your lap, and tap one tongue with the included mallet. The note rings out, soft and round, and lingers just long enough to pull your attention away from the noise of the day. This is the kind of instrument that asks nothing of you beyond a few minutes of stillness.

Spiritual meaning

The Om symbol engraved across the surface is one of the most recognised sounds and signs in Indian spiritual tradition, often associated with the vibration said to underlie all things. Steel tongue drums themselves are a modern instrument, but they are widely used in meditation and sound therapy circles for the way their tones support slow breathing and focus.

How to use

• Sit comfortably and rest the drum on your knees or a flat surface
• Tap the tongues gently with the mallets provided, or use your fingers for a softer tone
• Play slowly at first, letting each note fade before the next
• Use during meditation, yoga, or simply to unwind at the end of the day
