The Hang Drum, also known as a Hang, is a musical instrument created in Switzerland in the early 2000s. It is made from two metal hemispheres that are welded together, forming a hollow shell. The instrument produces soothing, melodic sounds when struck with the hands, making it popular for both solo performances and group settings. The Hang Drum is played by tapping different areas on its surface, which are tuned to specific notes. Its unique sound and appearance have led to its use in various music genres, including world music, ambient, and meditative practices.
