We are the Kosmosky team and we create glückophones / tank drums (from German «glück» meaning «happiness»)
which are considered as ones of the most unusual and advanced musical instruments of our time. Since 2014 we make these wonderful instruments and ship them worldwide, sharing our love and happiness with others.
All Kosmosky tongue drums are handcrafted of carbon steel. To make it, we use steel bowls that undergo hot stamping. Every tongue is tuned to a particular note according to its size. The larger the tongue is the lower the tone becomes and vice versa. All the notes of every tank drum are part of a selected tonality. Therefore, a tank drum always sounds harmonious and is very easy to play.
A tank drum (steel tongue drum) is a meditative petal drum that helps you have rest, focus on yourself, fantasize and travel through your inner world.
Anyone can play a steel tongue drum: those who want to develop a good sense of rhythm and educate the ear, and those who need relaxation after a hard-working day, those who have always wanted to learn to play a musical instrument, and those who want to bring something unusual into their lives, as well as those who really want to get in touch with the space.
Everyone can put a tank drum to good use and reach potential due to its magical sound. A tank drum is a great example of the nonexistence of strict rules in our world.
When playing this instrument, people express themselves in the here and now.
Some people just play by note or perform a cover of their favorite song, and others play
in a random but ecstatic way, having caught the flow on their drums.
A tank drum is a traditional instrument of the XXI century, a real drum of harmony which helps you not only hear music in a novel way, but also perceive yourself.
A tank drum is an overtone instrument, which is similar to a bell in that respect. That is why its sound has a soft and soothing effect. When playing the tank drum, a person feels its harmonious sound and aims for total harmony. While playing, you can suddenly get some inspiration or a fresh perspective on problem-solving. Musical improvisation involving a tank drum contributes to right-brain development, and hence human creativity.
