Jacket for tongue drum playing
from $22
The jacket is the most unusual accessory that completely transforms the tone of the tongue drum.
The sound becomes short, bright, and playful — almost like in childhood. It resembles a xylophone or a marimba. It’s especially fun to play fast melodies with the jacket or to strike several tongues at once. Playing together on multiple tongue drums becomes easier — the sound doesn’t blend, and each instrument remains clear and distinct.
The feeling of playing with the jacket is entirely different. It brings carefree joy, lightness, energy, and playfulness.
With it, it’s like getting a second instrument with the same familiar notes but a completely different character and mood. You can play melodies you already know in a new way, or feel inspired to compose, improvise, or play with other musicians.

The white jacket covers the tongues of the drum, so you can play either by touch, by using the internal light, or by outlining the tongues with a marker. You can also fully decorate and paint the jacket to give it a personal touch.
On a white drum with a white jacket, the tongues are visible even without internal lighting.
The black jacket with printed tongue outlines does not allow light to pass through. To play it, you need to align the printed outlines with the cuts on the drum.
