What is a Hand Drum?
A hand drum (or hang) is a modern musical instrument created in Switzerland in the early 2000s. It belongs to the idiophone family and looks like two metal hemispheres joined together, with tonal fields on the upper surface. When played with hands or fingers, these fields produce deep, resonating notes with rich harmonics. The sound of a hand drum is often associated with tranquility, meditation, and otherworldly landscapes.
