I ordered the 38cm NovaDrum in D Celtic Minor and I am absolutely speechless. The shipping was incredibly fast and the craftsmanship is flawless.
The sound is exactly what I was looking for: incredibly clear and clean in the higher frequencies, yet it has a deep, hypnotic resonance that makes you lose track of time instantly. The tongues are highly responsive, and the scale is perfectly tuned.
If you are looking for an instrument that offers both melodic clarity and a deep, meditative flow, this is it. Big thanks to the team for this amazing work! 🎶

I am absolutely THRILLED with my new 38cm, D Celtic Minor, 432hz tongue drum from NovaDrum!

As a non-musician, I was looking for a tongue drum for self-healing & self-expression and came across NovaDrum on Etsy.com. I felt drawn to the brand and after copious online research revealed great reviews, I took the plunge and couldn't be happier.

Both Johnny and Andrew were incredibly helpful answering all of my many questions both before and after purchase. The drum took less than two weeks to arrive to Boston, Massachusetts USA after placing my order!

The drum itself is gorgeous, a work of art! And the sound is hauntingly beautiful with incredible resonance and sustain. Everyone I've played it for has been blown away! Very high quality drum and very highly recommended company!

I'm so happy with everything about Nova drum!! From the response from Nova team and Andrew, to the design of Nova drum, the sound... oh, the sound is stunning!!!! Shipping was so fast; I didn't expect it to arrive that fast in Canada, honestly!!! And the package was great! I was trying to decide for so long which brand of steel tongue drum to choose, and I'm so happy I decided on Nova drum!!! I combine my drum with Himalayan and Crystal bowls for sound baths, and the sound is so lovely!!! Thanks so much!! I highly recommend it to everyone who likes to start their journey with sound or to any musician who has more experience!!! I purchased the 38 Nova - D Celtic Minor. Love from Milena

Fantastic drum, this is the first one I have in the 38cm size, the E Mystic scale. Absolutely wonderful scale and as always the overtones and general sound is excellent. No other drums sounds quite like Nova Drums. This is my sixth one.

The drum is amazing, sounds great and in tune. It's also beautiful, I got a tree engraved. They had great communication, answered any questions I had & even had great suggestions. Andrew even made a drum for me that was on his Etsy page and not on this shop yet. Delivery was very fast & I was given the tracking number. Would highly suggest them to anyone.

My Nova 48 12+1 "A Amara" is a wonderful instrument! I'm absolutely thrilled. I've tried other brands before (Sonodrum, Meinl for example), but I was never really satisfied. The Novadrum, on the other hand, is beautiful, feels very high-quality, and sounds simply fantastic. I'm really very happy! Even having to pay taxes and import fees doesn't bother me anymore. The Novadrum is definitely worth it. The customer support is also first-class. Andri from Novadrum always responds to emails very quickly, personally, and patiently.

Meine Nova 48 12+1 „A Amara“ ist ein wundervolles Instrument! Ich bin absolut begeistert. Ich habe vorher andere Marken ausprobiert (z. B. Sonodrum, Meinl), war aber nie wirklich zufrieden. Die Novadrum hingegen ist wunderschön, fühlt sich sehr hochwertig an und klingt einfach fantastisch. Ich bin wirklich sehr glücklich! Selbst die Steuern und Einfuhrgebühren stören mich nicht mehr. Die Novadrum ist es definitiv wert. Auch der Kundenservice ist erstklassig. Andri von Novadrum antwortet immer sehr schnell, persönlich und geduldig auf E-Mails.

5 Star's for Novadrum makers , the guy's who loves what they do!!!
The instrument is masterpiece! It's has like a therapy sound! It's very good for our emotions and this must have everyone who's love a Life!!!
Later i will add another one 26cm for creating more complex sound traveling!

Many thanks 🙏🏻☀️🙏🏻

A truly special instrument
My Novadrum (48 cm, 12+1, B Celtic Minor) has already become a cherished companion in my everyday life – both as a musical instrument and as a source of calm, joy, and inspiration.

The sound
The first thing I noticed when I started playing was how pure and soulful the sound is. Every note feels alive and open, with a warm, almost comforting resonance.
The B Celtic Minor scale is a fantastic choice – melancholic but never heavy. I quickly discovered that it is almost impossible to play a wrong note – everything harmonizes naturally.

Design and feel
The instrument is not only beautiful to listen to but also to look at and hold.
The craftsmanship is impressive, with a beautiful and carefully finished surface. The 12+1 layout provides both a rich tonal range and ease of play, making exploration simple even for beginners.

Thanks to the Novadrum team
A warm thank you to Evhen, who built this wonderful instrument – it is clear that it was created with heart and precision.
And a special thanks to Andrew for kind and clear communication throughout the process.

Summary
Novadrum has given me more than a musical instrument – it has become a place for rest, creativity, and presence.
Highly recommended for both beginners and experienced players.

Without any doubt an instrument worth every penny. Shipment took a while to get from Kiev to Belgium 🇧🇪 but I received the parcel in pretty good shape after about a fortnight. Only negative point: he box should have been a bit larger because the hight of the instrument exceeded the dimension of the box. It could eadily have been damaged if considerable weight was put on top of it. I reccon the shipment didn't affect the sound but if it did, I can't really detect it. It still sounds lovely anyhow. So overall, I'm thrilled and the looks and sound are way beyond what I expected. Thank you Novadrum!
