Babel Drums

Babel Drums Welcome to babeldrums.com the home of steel tongue drums made in the UK. The Babel Steel Tongue Drum is very easy to play.

We recommend playing using the pads of your fingers, however you can also play with fingertips or the side of the thumb or a mix of all three. A quick tap onto the drums smooth surface and pulling away quickly like you’ve touched something hot produces a beautiful melodic tone – do not leave the finger on the drum. The strike should be fast and soft at the same time and the hand should be open and

loose. Where you strike of course makes a lot of difference too, with the larger tongues producing lower notes and smaller ones the higher notes. A wide range of tones can be created through experimenting and developing different playing techniques. Babel Drums are for anyone to play, however if you are a person with very arthritic hands, you may find it easier to use our small light beaters to create those rich enchanting tones. Simply add to your basket when purchasing your drum.

A challenge to all babel drum owners.
We invite you to take photos of yourselves with your babel drum, or if you are camera-shy, of
the drum on its own, in unlikely locations and/or unusual surroundings, be they at your work place,
where you live, or at a holiday. You can share them on our page.

We would also love to read and share your comments and opinions on the Drums.
•Please make sure the photos are of a good publishable quality and resolution.
•The locations have to be genuine, not computer-generated.
•Don’t do anything foolhardy - no climbing on roofs or hanging out of skyscraper windows with
the drum in your hands.
•Respect historic monuments and sites.

Good luck and happy snapping!
