Stillroom Eight

$129.00

Stillroom Eight is an eight-note steel tongue drum for beginners practicing in shared homes. It measures 25.4 cm across and comes with silicone-tipped mallets. Its D minor pentatonic tuning gives you five distinct pitches across eight tongues, with no tuning controls to learn. A 5 mm felt mat separates the base from a tabletop. The drum remains audible to other people nearby.

For a ten-minute break at home

Set the drum on its felt mat at a desk or kitchen table. The numbered chart lets a first-time player follow short patterns without reading staff notation. Use a light mallet stroke when someone else is in the room. This is an acoustic instrument, not a silent practice device.

Eight tongues, five distinct pitches

The notes are D4, F4, G4, A4, C5, D5, F5 and G5. Repeated pitches in the higher octave let you move a short phrase up the drum's range. All eight notes belong to the D minor pentatonic scale. That makes free playing easier, but it does not replace every note needed for a song.

Steel shell with a felt base mat

The shell is powder-coated carbon steel. Each tongue has a printed number that matches the note chart. The included felt mat measures 28 cm across and is 5 mm thick. It cushions the drum against a hard surface; it does not soundproof the room.

What comes with the drum

The drum comes with two silicone-tipped mallets and a felt mat. A numbered note chart is included. The zippered polyester bag has two handles for carrying the 1.8 kg instrument.

Fit and sizing

The drum measures 25.4 cm in diameter and 14 cm high. Its 28 cm felt mat needs a flat surface; allow at least 35 by 35 cm of clear tabletop space. At 1.8 kg, it is best placed on a stable table rather than balanced on a narrow lap.

Questions and answers

Can I play Stillroom Eight without reading music?
Yes. Each tongue has a number that matches the included chart, so you can follow numbered patterns. You can also play freely within its D minor pentatonic tuning.
Is this steel tongue drum quiet enough for an apartment?
It is still audible in a shared room, and sound may reach adjoining rooms. Light strokes with the silicone-tipped mallets produce less volume than hard strokes. The felt mat cushions table contact but does not make the drum silent.
Which notes does it play?
It plays D4, F4, G4, A4, C5, D5, F5 and G5. These are eight notes drawn from five pitch classes in the D minor pentatonic scale.
Can I change the tuning?
No. Stillroom Eight has fixed tuning and no user tuning mechanism. Do not bend or file the tongues.
Can I play it with my fingers?
Yes, though light finger taps produce a quieter response than the included mallets. Start with the mallets if you want a clear note without learning a finger-striking technique.
Will it fit on a small desk?
The drum is 25.4 cm across, and its mat is 28 cm across. Allow a clear area of at least 35 by 35 cm so your mallets can move around the edge.
How do I clean and store it?
Wipe the shell with a dry microfiber cloth after playing. Keep it indoors in a dry room, and let it dry fully before closing the bag. Do not immerse it or leave it outdoors.

The chart was easy to follow. I found it more comfortable on a table than on my lap.
