When you think of musical instruments, what comes to mind? Piano? Guitar? Drums? Instruments come in all shapes, sizes, and experience levels. While standard drums may be too difficult for amateurs, instruments such as tonguing drums offer a sophisticated alternative, but it’s safe to assume that many people don’t know what a tonguing drum is.

Founded in 2019 by Aaron McMeo, HueDrum was born after he first encountered a tonguing drum during a trip abroad to Switzerland. Upon returning home, Aaron fell in love…
Connecting the dots Pan Zishi, in his late 30s, has never had a formal education in music or crafts. Self-taught, he founded Sine, a brand promoting steel tumbling drums (also known as hank drums), seven years ago.

From the very beginning of his career, Pang was averse to following a well-trodden career path. This…

Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation.
