Steel Drums

A steel drum, also known as a tank drum or hank drum, is a type of percussion instrument that consists of a hollow steel or wooden body with tongues of varying lengths cut into its surface. These tongues produce different pitches when struck with mallets or fingers. The instrument is known for its soothing, melodic sounds and is often used in meditation, relaxation, and music therapy. The tongues are usually tuned to specific scales, allowing players to create harmonious melodies easily.
