The vibe drum is arranged so that each note has its octave adjacent to it. This simple, logical and harmonically beneficial layout makes the Vibe the easiest and cleanest steel tongue drum available.

The Primary side of the Double and Single Vibe is comprised of 9 notes, with two sets of octaves arranged around a center note. The center tongue is engineered to add to the harmonics of the drum and is in the literal center of the scale. It is the lowest note of the higher octave and the highest note of the lowest octave.

Notes are arranged clockwise with the higher octave and lower octave forming concentric scales around the center note

What is a pentatonic scale?

Essentially, playing in a pentatonic scale means you can never hit a wrong note! In the Major pentatonic scale, it is a major scale without the 4th and 7th notes. It includes notes 1 - 2 -3 - 5 - 6 thereby eliminating the semitones in the Major scale.
