Kosmosky 2 Sided Steel Tongue Drum Unboxing and Review 

Wonderful I hope you love your new one too! They are amazing instruments 😊

Thank you for this amazing drum! I love how gorgeous it is in every way 🥰

Aww, thanks so much 😊

Yes, I love love love that it's double sided! It's neat to have an original type tank drum too. The resonance is really amazing.

I can’t find them on amazon

@@janjacobs375 I think to get a diatonic major scale from Kosmosky you'll have to contact them through their website!

@@MusicalMollyKhan thanks

It is gorgeous! 😊

It is 😊

Oh that sounds gorgeous! Happy drumming 😊

It's definitely convenient! And the other tongues resonate as well, so it adds a unique sound 😊

Aww thank you 😊

@@MusicalMollyKhan I bought a drum last night, sorta cheap but I’m super stoked

You might try this one! I like the sound and it's around 9" 😊 amzn.to/3p45g8k

Great questions! I can tell you I was playing around with tuning on mine today and was able to go down four semitones and the tone was still beautiful. I haven't tried more as the scale just didn't call for it. You can be super accurate with the neodymium magnets. It does have such a pure sound!

@@MusicalMollyKhan Great, I managed to get ahold of a Kosmosky rep and they mentioned they would use neodymium magnets and recommended a semitone. They also said to use complimentary tuning on the other side so the harmonics don’t rub. Also the dvutone and chord drums are not tuneable as their design is more complicated. Just passing info along and good to hear you were able to tune yours more without issues!

​@@Briemusic you can retune any tongue with magnets for a semitone/tone without losing the quality of sound. You can tune 1,5 and more, but the sound will be less saturated, and you would hear more metallic sounds, and fewer harmonics. All tunable drums work this way, the more magnets you put - the poorer sound you get. But this is a very subjective thing, as Molly mentioned earlier, she tuned her drum 2 tones lower and it still sounded beautiful, and we can trust her because she already tried many other tongue drums. Obviously, your impression mostly depends on your experience, and we, as a manufacturer who made more than 10 000 tank drums, find this "magneted" sound dull (if lowered for 3 semitones and more). When I say "dull" I don't mean "bad", I mean "less saturated" and that the sustain becomes much shorter. As for the Dvutones and Rhythm drums - you're absolutely right. The process of tuning is much more complicated, so and the Rhythm drum is impossible to retune with magnets. Dvutones are possible, but much more difficult, and If you want to do it - it is better to use more accurate equipment.

Also, it seemed like the tongue at 3 o'clock (in your direction) on the insomnia tuning was not as resonant as the others. Did you find that?

I went to their website and started emailing them. Alex and the others were great to work with. I got a double-sided engraved. Love it!

Thank you! I actually ordered through their Etsy site as there was a sale there; I'm fairly certain they all come from the same little company in Russia 😊

Good ear! I did catch a hint of that, but I'm fairly sure it was the way the drum was sitting in my lap. I was trying to bounce my baby in her chair at the same time.. mom life is never dull 🤣

You should change your name to Multitasking Molly Khan 😁

It does a bit! 😊

I would just send the company a message through their website.
