I'm in love with this drum!!! New to steel drums and have very little musical experience, but it's so easy to make music! Very meditative, intuitive, and blissful playing this drum. Rav has done a great job both with the quality of the instrument and it's also so beautifully made. Very satisfied!

RAV Vast Hard case


Are you travelling a lot or just tend to take your RAV Vast everywhere you go? This case was designed specially for the RAV Vast tongue drums. 5mm-secure hard shell will protect your RAV from damages. Made of closely woven Oxford fabric, this hard case is water resistant. The case is locked with zipper.

I just received my rav last week along with this case, and I really like it.�
The quality is incredible and has a well thought-out design :)�

Чудесный послушный инструмент. Завораживающий глубокий и яркий звук. Никаких "тазиковых" шумов (я очень опасалась).� Я делаю звуко-медитацию, и мне было важно как долго летит звук и какое настроение создает. Rav Vast� в принципе инструмент, с которым можно и нужно использовать резонанс. Ну а настрой B Rus может запросто� поддерживать состояние легкого транса и безмятежности, Так что я очень довольна.� А еще его приятно держать в руках. Приятная тяжесть металла, шероховатая синяя спинка,� изящные линии язычков. У нас с ним похоже любовь Благодарю также� ребят-сотрудников, которые помогли организовать доставку в Сидней. Все очень четко, в срок и сохранно. Отличная команда. Спасибо.� Катерина.

RAV Pan D Hijaz

Exotic and bewitching, sweet but spicy like baklava and sherbet, the D Hijaz RAV Pan recreates the traditional Arabic maqam, hijaz, in the RAV’s version. Therefore, it is an unusual and unique scale in the RAV Pan’s family. Unlike many of the other RAV drums based on classic Greek or European scales, this arrangement of notes originates in the musical tradition of a Middle-Eastern maqam.

Hijaz scale names can differ depending on the culture. However, it is used in middle-eastern music, motives of flamenco and even in Jewish folk songs.

Due to the many half steps, this scale can be tricky for beginner players, but if you are searching for a scale with a middle eastern flavour and a fantastic potential for percussive playing, this would be an excellent choice!

When you purchase the RAV Pan, you also get a hard case to ease the transporting.

Just perfect!

G Pygmy! I have had this drum for about a week now and am still in awe over it. Now I know why it's so popular! The scale feels totally intuitive and several melodies came almost immediately on playing around. The sound is deep and mysterious and so much better in person than what most videos and sound samples capture. (One which I find comes very close is a video on Youtube by Anatoliy Gernadenko, best listened to with good speakers or headphones.)

As advertised the Pygmy has nice overtones that can be activated by striking different parts of the wings of the tongues, as well as the fields above them. The thinner steel seems to make these tones more sensitive and easier to activate (plus the whole drum is a bit lighter weight than others, which is great for traveling with it). Even light touches can really make this drum sing. Hitting some of the lower notes together, especially after the central ding, also makes this deep, bassy resonance that seems to fill the air and your body. I love it!

Thanks again Rav team, for these wonderful instruments!

RAV Vast B Celtic Double Ding | 432 Hz


Do you have a big plan for learning to play the tongue drum? Make your choice for the B Celtic Double Ding.  It’s a perfect drum to upgrade your playing technique from zero to hero and from hero to a pro-level. Beginners will love this scale as it is very melodic and easy to handle. Seasoned musicians will appreciate the harmonious sound of the instrument, the ease to improvise and the increased number of notes that give more room for experiments.  


This scale is tuned in B and has an additional A-bass note.  Like a two-side coat which is bright and colorful from the outside and dark from the inside, the B Celtic has two sides. You can choose between the two moods – the cheerful A major and the moody B minor – by switching the keynote of the melody.

This instrument is so EPIC. I am amazed� how good tunes this Vast has. Every tune you hit will take you on a meditative journey. Build quality of the Vast is just astonishing. Their live chat is responsive and they will help you anytime. I am very satisfied with the instrument and service. Ty.

RAV Vast B Celtic Minor | 432 Hz


Playing the B Celtic Minor is like wandering around the lush sacred groves after the April shower looking for the four-leaf clover. You can hear the notes of Greensleeves while playing this scale. It recreates the traditions of Celtic rhythms that you still can hear in English folk music and old Irish ballades.


The B Celtic Minor has a romantic and slightly melancholic minor voice. It produces a calm and peaceful sound and is really easy to play. This is the scale you can’t really go wrong with as it’s very harmonious.


The B Celtic Minor will become a perfect choice for beginners as it is easy to handle and learn various patterns.  It also works perfectly for a fast-playing style. The B Celtic Minor pairs perfectly a good bunch of RAV drums and other instruments, so it’s gonna be a good choice for a pro to take part in jam sessions.
