Prompt delivery and it's exactly what I wanted. All expectations met.
Greg T.
Not at all bad for the money.
Slight tuning/overtone issue on the pair of low octaves, but still perfectly playable.
And sounds lovely.
Catriona Kerrigan
A beautiful sounding drum! A bit smaller than I expected, but a great gift nonetheless. My husband loved it.
Anna White
A little disapointed with the sound quality. After I learn more about playing it I'll buy something better.

Fun instrument to learn
Glen Wilkie

Elliot Robinson
Great for new experience
Alan Bannister
Great gift!
Oscar Henry
Great product for the price. Don’t cheap out in these drums unless you want a fancy tin can. This product is great and has an amazing sound.
Oluwabunmi Onadipe
Great size and comes with a convenient travel bag
Allen Daddow
Has a very nice sound to it. èasy to hit the right notes, easy to learn. Even when you're just randomly drumming it sound like a nice tune. Case it came with is convenient and protects the drum well.
Edward Dooley
High quality and sounds great!
Heather Newton
I am not an experienced tongue drum player - and that is totally okay with this instrument. I am starting to learn the notes and songs but it is so enlivening just to play the drum randomly. It always puts a smile on my face. As far as comparing it to other drums, I can't help you there. I am pleased with this purchase.
Ayan Gorhan
I am so excited to have this as a new hobby! I have never considered myself a musically talented person so I was a little apprehensive when purchasing this. It comes with a little song book that helps you learn easy songs like twinkle twinkle little star. I had to look up a you tube video to understand how to read the notes and what to do. I am definitely not perfect at it but I still think it sounds ok as I learning. I especially like it as I have heard it during yoga sessions and I love this tranquil sound. I recommend watching YouTube videos to learn how to play. The sound changes depending on where on the number section you hit.
Sharon Denyer
I bought this as a gift for a friend who has a small percussion collection. When it arrived and I tried it out (I knew nothing about tongue drums at the time), i was sorely disappointed in the sound. I decided to give my friend something else instead and return the Moukey. Before i started to do the return, i tried playing with it a little more. Wow, then i found out how to properly hit the tongues and loved the sound. I had already given my friend another gift. So I decided to keep the Moukey for myself. Fast forward a bit and I bought actually bought a second one of these for my friend (it was on sale for 40% off) and swapped the other gift for this as he liked it better than the other gift. I have seen what looked like the exact same set on another site for ￡190 (down from ~￡400).
Sevval Tekagac
I bought this drum for my kids to use in our homeschool learning program. However it did not come with the book as described. It sure would be great to have one for some instruction and easy songs for them to play and practice. Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance if so!
Amani Alyabroudi
I gave this as a Christmas give to my 11 y/o niece. I received a lovely video of her playing a tune on it in reply. I believe she enjoyed it. She started playing it right away.
Matthew Deeming
I got this drum for my daughter and she loves it! It has a beautiful tone and the sound resonates with your soul.
hugh worthington
I got this for my mom for Christmas. She is musically inclined and had always wanted one. Within the day she was looking up songs and playing them flawlessly. I on the other hand, did not inherit my mom's musicality but I gave it a try just for fun. I was so surprised at how easy it was to pick up playing the songs! It was as easy as simply following the numbers and it could be played with either the sticks that it came with or your hands. It's like being able to play a wind chime, it sounds so pretty! It is loud enough to be heard through a closed door and perhaps a thin wall. Otherwise, would be great for beginners or older children!
Dinah Calvey
I got this for my three year old for Christmas because her older brother got a drum set and I wanted her to be able to drum too. Every time we get it out of it's carrying case my family fights over who gets to play it. You really can't make it sound bad, it gives off such a peaceful vibration. I think anyone that loves music and instruments should have one of these!
Nichola Philipps
I highly recommend this tongue drum. I can't say enuff about this drum. Easy to play even if you've never had a music lesson in your life. Take your time and get accustomed to each tongue. Play this drum like a pro in minutes. Fun for every member of the family. Calming, and beautiful tones. I love this drum so very much.??????????
Zoltan Barkoci
I love my drum! It’s easy to play, even without learning melodies. I recommend using it on flat sturdy surfaces. It helps with sound quality. I use it to attune my energy. It’s healing. Highly recommend.
Daniel Tanswell
I love this little beauty. I enjoy just plunking around and making mellow relaxing tunes
Angela Wong
I purchased this as a gift for my mother. It was a little pricier than some of the other tongue drums but I wanted something that was decent quality. This seems good. I played around with it for a bit and some of the notes seemed a little out of tune which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. There seem to be videos on the internet explaining how to adjust the pitch so this is probably not a difficult fix but it was a little disappointing after springing for one of the more expensive versions. This drum seems sturdy and came with a nice carry case and overall it made a great gift. My preteen nieces seem to really enjoy playing it when they visit their grandma.
JANE Spicer
It is easy to learn, super fun And beautiful sound
Abbe Harrison
It’s fun to play and has an interesting sound to it whether you try to play real songs or not.

Bob Hill
Love the sound and the options for playing
Jon Randall
My husband and I enjoy playing it. The sound is very sooding. Perfect for relaxing. You don't have to know how to play tunes. You just play the notes you like and enjoy it
Laura Turner
My husband played us a half hour concert on Christmas Day. The sound was so lovely. The tones are great. Everything you need is right there Finding a present for my husband is difficult, this was a godsend. He loved it. It is resonantly small but sounds big. It has a lovely tone. If his experience is any example it is easy to master for a mucian, which I am not. I did enjoy the music. Along with the rest of my family.
Joan Mesquida Camps
Nice quality. Has a beautiful sound.
Graeme Reay
Our family calls these “Panda Drums” and I gifted each one of my adult kids (along with myself) one of these for Christmas. I watched a u-tube review where the fellow said he’d waited for this companies drum to restock and it has just arrived, and once I finished the video I looked and they were still in stock. I made the decision my family needed more music during quarantine and jumped on it and ordered for everyone. I am very pleased with my decision. These drums are a very good value for the money, just as the reviewer said they were! They are easy to pull out and just start sounding out songs (or just playing nothing). I might keep one around to give as a spontaneous gift when I think someone needs a pick me up. I love these drums! The quality is just as the reviewer said it would be. Great decision. So fun!
Tim Parker
Perfect gift for every occasion
T. vd Kleij
really melodius sound. My son loves banging on it. and whatever he uses either his hand or apoon it produces beautiful sound. I taught him to play happy birthday and now he absolutely loves it.
Nicky Rutter
Sound quality is pretty good for a tongue drum in this price range.
Gabriel Castor Mazzola de Azevedo
Sounds beautiful. Easy to learn. Adds atmosphere
Angela Fitzsimmons
The drum was for my daughter. She pick it and she's happy with her choice.
Cam Frankcom
The media could not be loaded. I was looking for some music instrument that I and my 18 year-old could play together, something easy to teach myself, not too loud and difficult to bite on. This tongue drum turned out to be a great choice. It’s heavy, smooth, in great quality. I don’t see a single scratch on the surface. The notes are labeled in numbers, which makes it super easy to learn. I found the chords for “little star” and I was able to play it right away. Amazing as a beginner! My kid was excited when she heard me playing. The best thing is, the sounds is beautiful. Even the kiddo plays the drum with no rhythm, it’s bearable. It’s exactly what I wanted. Happy with this purchase.
Bernard Akehurst
The sound quality is beautiful and it is easy to learn how to play this instrument. It's really soothing and even my dog loves it!
WILLIAM HUGHES
The sound quality is great! It has a relaxing tone when struck and is easy to play! Great product!
Mr Allan Doherty
The sound was good. Someone younger could probably learn it more quickly. It didn’t seem like I could learn it.
Mr Dan Reardon
The sounds are magical, and it's easy to learn with YouTube videos. My girlfriends call me to play it for them on the phone.
Maureen Cassidy
This drum sounds great compared to the larger one we returned. Everything is in tune and all of the parts listed were included. It has good tone and surprising volume.
Sarah Denver
This drum will have you playing for hours. Wonderful drum.
Carlos Peraita
This has a wonderful sound quality and has good quality. Great value for the money and made a great gift for Christmas. Very happy with my purchase.
David Knutson
This is a fun instrument to play and is a nice size. Though the vibration of each tongue blends together so it you can't play it fast.
Xavier Maufroy
This is a titanium alloy tongue drum. It is light weight and the sound quality is incredible. Right out of the box I was able to play. The tones are those of a full major scale stating with scale degree 5 and continuing to Do and to high Do (5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1). Contents include a great sturdy carrying case, stickers to mark the tones, finger mallets and 6 inch rubber tip mallets for playing. It also comes with a book with details for care, assembly and music. The music book is written in musical notation and with the corresponding numbers . My kindergartner played Happy Birthday reading the notation. This product is super resonant. It has beautiful, rich tones and sustain lasts for ever. Dynamic control takes some practice but this is a fantastic, calming, beautiful instrument. The drum has feet so it can be played on a table top or floor as well as being small enough to play on your lap. Easy to pack up and take to travel. Highly recommend this. I teach a high school drumming program and I would like to add a few of these to the inventory.
Jade Finlay
This is so much fun to play. You don't even necessarily need to "learn" how to. Just tinkering around and doing what sounds good was fun. I wish it were a little larger but I'm sure that would change the sound. I look forward to learning and experimenting more and maybe upgrading to a more elaborate one someday.
Hoi Yan Kwong
This was a Christmas gift for my husband, he loves it and the sound is tranquil and beautiful.

We got this as a gift for our oldest child. She loved it. It sounds beautiful, and she seem to pick up the method easily

We have been dinking around with the drum four the last two weeks . And it's fun trying to figure out how to play it.
Sara Lees
Wonderful quality with beautiful sound! I showed my mom my new drum and then she had to buy one for herself lol.
clare gladwell
Wow we had another steel tongue drum that we gifted away and we replaced it with this one. The sound quality is amazing. My daughter loves it and its super easy to learn to play it. Definitely giftable. We love it. Its a great addition to our music instruments.
Zamir Shpellzaj
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Absolutely fantastic little space drum the sound is so soothing and it takes no time to learn how to hit the keys right to get the right sound vibration. My son is playing happy birthday song from the booklet that came with the drum, I am so impressed how quickly he learned how to play it . Love it and my parrot is extremely impressed by the sound .
Jade Warlow
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Glad we finally gave in and bought this, one of us has been wanting one for a while. There does seem to be a correlation sometimes between cost and quality, as this was not the cheapest but not the most expensive that we found while searching but I think it paid off. The packaging was more than adequate to keep it safe in transit. The bag that came with it is padded enough to keep the drum safe for regular use and with the strap that allows you to carry it gives some great portability. The drum not only came with the bag and strap but two drum ‘sticks’ a song book, finger ‘tips’ instead of using the sticks and additional stickers to identify the different tongues. I have not learned everything yet but I assume the stickers allow you to identify different tongues for different music as during my search of different songs there was a lot of different patterns that didn’t always match what I had. The size isn’t too small and not unwieldly making this drum is the right size for our whole family (from 5yo to my husband) to have fun with out of the box. The notes were clear and resonated nicely. We decided to compare the tones with a tuner app to see how it compared to what it should be. We tested it trying to isolate just the tongue we were hitting as some of the resonance might give erroneous response from the tuner. As seen in the video it really kept to where they should be so no tuning was necessary. We also tested a couple songs from the book and one is in the video as well as just some playing around and hitting most of the notes in concession, the video speaks for itself. Overall this was a great buy, it really made a couple people in my family happy with the ability to just make music out of the box. The quality, weight, apartment durability and most importantly the sound is just what we were looking for.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I am a huge fan of Reggae music and love the steel drums but that’s not why I got these drums. I am not musically talented by any means but I do meditate and this drum helps me tremendously with meditation and relaxation. Every note sounds beautiful and not out of tune at all. It’s a heavy little drum too because it’s made from a pretty thick metal. It would be pretty hard to damage this drum but it comes with a case to keep it looking fresh.
Malwina S.
Amazing sound nice bag recommended!
Gordon H.
Very nice it's all good
Cristiana S.
Very soothing sound, extremely pleasant to the touch, sturdy and good looking (it reminds me of a Japanese tea pot :). The bag is also surprisingly high-quality.
MRCAT
I love this product! It arrived intact and carefully packaged. The sound quality is beautiful
Lara A. Sciaraffa
I was extremely pleased to come across this wonderful musical instrument on a lightening deal. The protective carrying case, mallets and labeling makes this a wonderfully great tongue drum for all musicians. It has a wonderful deep tonal quality. So glad to add this time my world percussion collection. I have a picture of what I considered a mini tongue drum for comparison.
MWeber
Great sound. Carrying case is very convenient.
Randy Horvath
This drum is great!!! It came in tune and with all parts intact. My 2-year-old loves it. It is definitely better than having her play a snare drum all day.
Shar
Beautiful tones, easy for a beginner to make pretty sounds while practicing. It sounds lovely even played randomly for background noise.
Capelight
It has the most beautiful sound! Every note is pitch perfect. It arrived yesterday, very well packaged in a sturdy case. I’ve been playing with it since. This drum was recommended by a musician friend and it’s just what I wanted.
PAL
I really like my drum. Fast delivery. This drum came well packaged. It has a good weight and feel. I love the sound and it is fun just listening to random tunes I created.
It is calming and sounds great at night sitting on the deck playing. The sound is clear and resonates well.
So go ahead and don’t hesitate to get this drum. No experience needed and great rewards in mindfulness and calming self.
Johnork L. Hillic
I like the sound of the crystal alike when I hit it. The sound is very beautiful, unfortunately my music is not so beautiful. It is not as easy as I imagined. I need to spend more time practicing.
Kate
new style of drum kind of music, very very nice music from it, very soothing sound, beautiful sounds from it, kids love it, they are learning how to play it, nice finish, very stylish, thick drum material. good price.

I've always been interested in learning a steel tongue drum so I bought this to start learning how to play with it. As a beginner this is a good buy. It comes with tuning instructions and a little music book. Perfect for meditation and produces zen music to the room which even my small kids love. Can be used with either fingers or the Mallets, but I prefer the mallets. Cool sounding.
M. J
I initially got this instrument to be meant as a gift but lockdown oblige I ended up using it myself. The first time I started trying it I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and beautiful the notes sound on it. Even just by going counter clockwise on all notes gives such a beautiful sound. I normally play guitar by I will learn how to master this instrument as It gives such a deep and pleasant zen music.

The Moukey Mini Tongue Drum is simple and approachable. It comes with 2 mallets/sticks, a well padded carrying bag with strap, and the drum itself. You can play using your fingers or the included rubber mallets. I used a chromatic tuner and the notes on the 8 key drum range as follows from low to high: G3 A3 C4 D4 E4 G4 A4 C5. For comparison, the notes on the 11 key version are: A3, B3, C#4, D4, E4, F#4, G4, A4, B4, C#5, D5. I included a video of both for comparison of the range.
I really like the build quality of the drum. It is sturdy, with a smooth and durable finish, with sturdy rubber feet. I have 2 young kids and scream a bit inside each time they try to "carefully" play with a guitar, ukulele, or piano. I don't have that worry at all with this drum and know the kids will have a great time and learn about music in the process. If you listen to online videos, you'll hear the unique beautiful sound. In the end, I feel this tongue drum will withstand the test of time/little hands and be a fun family instrument for years to come!
Robby
There’s no better time to learn a new instrument while stuck in isolation so I decided to try the Moukey steel tongue drum. I’ve never even heard of these instruments until seeing more and more videos online. It’s the coolest instrument I ever tried! I got the 8 note steel tongue drum and it’s perfect for a complete beginner like me. The kit came with drum sticks, a scores book that also explains how to tune the drum, and a nicely padded carrying bag with a strap for the drum. 7 of the tongues were perfectly in tune (when using an app) while one tongue was so close I did not bother tuning it.
The drum sticks are made of light varnished wood with heavy rubber edges. I understand why they recommend using sticks at first because it is much easier to get different tones compared with slapping the drum with your hands. The drum itself is very nicely weighted and mine came in perfect condition. There are rubber feet underneath so you can play on a table as well. I prefer playing it in my lap as it feels more natural this way.
The sound is as zen and soothing as people say it is! You can randomly hit notes and it sounds like those relaxing meditation songs! It’s almost impossible to sound bad as a beginner. The Moukey drum has a nice sustain that is not harsh at all. It’s possible to get different tones by either letting the tongue ring or stopping the sustain by using your hands. You can get a completely different sound by hitting the drum with your hands but I need more practice with the sticks before attempting that.
The drum comes with extra stickers to number each tongue to help learn the location of the notes. I can’t wait to remove the stickers because the drum looks like a nice decoration item without them!
I play guitar, just started learning bass and now I am trying this steel tongue drum as something completely different. I am really happy with this steel tongue drum and am glad I took the risk at trying something completely new to me!

I was interested in buying a steel drum and became aware of this instrument that I had never seen before. I purchased the version with eleven tones, and am pleased with what I received. The drum measures about 10 inches in diameter, stands about six inches tall, and came with two rubber tipped mallets that are a little over 8 inches long. The package was packed nicely, double boxed, and the drum was shipped inside the protective case with the second box. The soft protective case did come with a strap.
All of the tongues produced nice tones, and within a few minutes of trying it out, the tones i was producing attracted the rest of my family who wanted to see what it was and try it themselves. This provided us an evening of entertainment and all commented on how nice it sounded. I found every tongue to ring clearly, and was able to perform rolls on them which provided a reasonable facsimile of a steel drum sound, at least close enough to serve my purpose.
The finish of the drum was very nice, and the bottom featured three rubber feet that allowed it to sit level on a hard surface. I found it playable in my lap, on carpet, and on a hard surface with no notable difference in tone. As noted by other reviewers, the numbers on the tongues appear to be stickers. I wouldn't expect that you would use the numbers after getting acclimated to the instrument. Each tongue is a different physical size and hopefully you can see the arrangement of notes from the video I have posted. I would recommend this product to others.
