The Yardrythm Rain Drum. Rain, held in steel.
An 11-note, 6-inch steel tongue chakra drum tuned in D minor. Struck softly, it falls like rain — long, round, ethereal tones that settle the room and steady the breath.
A drum that sounds like weather.
Every Yardrythm rain drum is hand-tuned from titanium alloy steel, then finished in a matte, textured coating that softens the strike and extends the sustain.
Rainfall Resonance
Petal-cut steel tongues bloom on contact — soft, watery overtones that ripple far longer than you expect.
Perfectly Tuned in D
11 notes, chakra-mapped, so beginners land on melodies within minutes. No sheet music, no wrong notes.
Travel-Sized, Studio-Grade
Six inches across. Fits in a backpack, holds up on a retreat, and sounds full enough to fill a room.
Everything Included
Padded carry bag, two mallets, finger picks, note stickers, and a beginner songbook — ready out of the box.
Three colorways. One frequency.
One strike. Forty seconds of stillness.

Silence
It doesn't stop so much as return. And your breath, quietly, has slowed with it.
A cut above the rest.

“I close every class with the Yardrythm rain drum now. Students exhale audibly on the first note. It's the most-asked-about thing in my studio.”
“I've owned three tongue drums. This one has the roundest fundamental and the longest sustain — and it's a fraction of the price of my handpan.”
“Bought it for meditation, ended up using it at bedtime. My toddler falls asleep to it faster than any lullaby I've tried.”
Questions, answered.
What exactly is the Yardrythm rain drum?+
It's a 6-inch, 11-note steel tongue drum (also called a glucophone or chakra drum) tuned in D minor. The 'rain drum' name comes from the long, silvery sustain each note produces — like rainfall held in metal.
Do I need to know music to play it?+
No. The notes are laid out and numbered so every combination sounds harmonious. Most players are improvising melodies within five minutes of unboxing.
Is it loud enough for a class or sound bath?+
Yes for small to mid-sized rooms and one-on-one sessions. For very large spaces we recommend mic-ing it — the overtones record beautifully.
What's included?+
The Yardrythm rain drum, two rubber mallets, a pair of finger picks, note stickers, a beginner songbook, and a padded travel bag. Free worldwide shipping.
How is it different from a handpan?+
Handpans cost $1,500+ and are made from two hammered shells. The rain drum uses a single steel body with cut tongues — lighter, more affordable, and tuned identically to the same meditative scales.
