My most expensive tongue drum | Meinl Sonic Energy 16" D Amara Review and Unboxing

Hi! Today's video is a little different. We're unboxing my new tongue drum! After lots of consideration, I finally decided on this beautiful Octave Steel Tongue Drum from Meinl Sonic Energy.
I wanted something different, that was more serene and meditative - and this D Amara Octave tongue drum drew me to it with its unique, handpan-like overtones (reminds me of raindrops!).
So excited to share this special moment of unboxing and experiencing it for the first time with you. Thank you for being on this journey with me, and stay tuned for more videos and good vibes ✨😊

That's wonderful! Enjoy the good vibrations and energy that comes from playing it ❣️

Nice. Do you also play it with your fingers?

[@soniclovejournal]

Thanks! I prefer using the mallets because it has more resonant 🥁

Helli im still learning and im brand new. I noticed you play with the lower nota on too but ive had other people tell me to do the opposite. Im struggling to pull the calm out rather than the sad of this beautiful instrument. Any recommendations?

@michaelviccica1138 Hi! That's a great question. When I first started out, I took time to just play all the notes and really listen to how they sound, feel and get really familiar with them. After that, I'd pick two notes, and slowly mix, match and hear how they balance, complement or create dissonance when played together. It's all about listening, internalising and feeling the notes - then using them to express yourself. Keep going! You can do it!

Where did you purchase yours? The website is saying to find a dealer but all I’ve checked do not have it

[@soniclovejournal]

Hi @athenagoldapp8881 I got mine from the Meinl shop directly. They don't ship to my country, but I've enquired through email for a special order. I hope that's helpful! 😊
