The wooden Matsu Tongue Drum, also known as a slit drum or log drum, is crafted from solid pine wood and hollowed through the centre to naturally amplify its sound. The carefully cut slits on the top create a tone block effect when struck with the included beaters, with the pitch varying slightly depending on where it is played. Its distinctive slit pattern resembles two H's side by side or a pathway maze, giving it a unique appearance. Supplied with two beaters, the beater design may vary from the photos as plastic beaters have recently been replaced with more eco-friendly alternatives. This versatile percussion instrument is perfect for percussion boxes, classrooms, and musical exploration.
