How to Play Steel Tongue Drums | Music for Everyone | Aerik Arkadian

The steel tongue drum is a modern instrument where slits are carved into a thick metal body, forming tongues that are tuned to different notes. It's pretty easy to play, so check it out! In this video, I talk about the history, demonstrate playing a sample song, and say why it could make a useful tool for adding sound to your magick. Music should be accessible for everyone, especially for use in ritual or magickal practices. I know a lot of people feel like you have to have talent or ability, but that's not the case. My goal for this video series is to show you easy instruments that don't require much, if any, practice.
