The Best Tongue Drum for Beginners and Pros? A Review of the New Wave 15 by Kosmosky

The New Wave 15 is Kosmosky’s flagship model and the most versatile tongue drum in the world. In this review, you’ll learn how to choose a tongue drum without compromises, how the New Wave 15 differs from classic models, and how its electro-acoustic version shines with external effects. We’ll show how the instrument is built and how it can be used for relaxation, performance, improvisation, and playing popular melodies.

The tongue drum in the video is recorded with high-quality microphones and also plugged directly into a computer so you can hear both the natural acoustic sound and the connected (electro-acoustic) output as realistically as possible.
