This is the third drum I have purchased from Yakiv. I now have 2 Sparks and one Ember. I am very happy with them, each with a unique sound, tuned to different keys. If you are not sure what you might like, Yakiv is extremely helpful, patient, and accommodating. He also posts videos of many of his drums on YouTube, which helps you decide what you prefer. The shopping experience has always been good. Yakiv provides free shipping with very accurate tracking information. Based on my experience, these drums are much more preferable to the less expensive, mass produced drums you can find. You can’t go wrong with Burning27 drums, especially with the guidance that Yakiv provides.
Gorąco polecam .Bębenek jest przepiękny .Jestem w nim zakochana wyglądem przenosi w świat magii a dźwięki i wibracje sprawiają że unosisz się nad ziemią.. Daję tylko tyle gwiazdek bo więcej nie ma..Polecam ❤️
This is my second drum from Burning27. The first was a smaller Spark, which I am very happy with. My new Ember drum is significantly larger, and as such it clearly has a much longer beautiful sustain. All the notes are crystal clear. I opted for a black matte finish which looks very classy. Yakiv helped me select the tuning, C Golden Gate. I’m enjoying connecting with this scale, learning the relationships between all the notes. Thanks Yakiv. I’m sure I will be ordering another drum in the future.
Ein Hervorragendes Instrument.
Der Klang ist sauber und perfekt abgestimmt.
Eine sehr gute Alternative zu einer Handpan.
Man sieht und hört das es mit Leidenschaft gebaut worden ist.
Die Kommunikation war immer perfekt, so wie die Lieferung.
Habe mir nach drei Monaten eine Zweite bestellt😊 und ich bin mir
sicher, es wird nicht meine letzte sein.
Ich bin begeistert von Yakiv und seiner Arbeit.
Eine burning27 muss man haben.
Ich kann es jedem empfehlen.
Von mir gibt’s 10 Sterne ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am absolutely thrilled with the Spark and Ember series tongue drums I've purchased. They are my first professional level drums and are far superior to all the other units I've owned. The tonal quality is crystal clear and the tuning is perfect. Moreover, the drums are pieces of art--they're beautiful. Their Ocean Steel blue is not paint, but rather the color of the carbon steel which results from the individual heat treatment each unit received. The color is further accentuated by the application of a crystal clear coating which seals and adds a layer of protection while imparting a luxurious finish. It's absolutely stunning. Only a true artist could take the same type of steel I fry fish in at home and turn it into an heirloom treasure. How do they do that?! And why can't so many of the other drum makers come even close to this level of craftsmanship? I'm in awe of the talent and musical artistry Yakiv and his team possess and shares with the world. They are truly gifted. Their customer service is also equally outstanding. Yakiv always stayed in contact throughout the time between ordering and delivery, always thoughtful, kind, and genuinely gracious. I have only one regret--not discovering Burning27 sooner. These guys are the real deal. Their small business is a musical powerhouse and I can't possibly recommend them more highly. If you don't see what you're looking for on their site, reach out and ask. They're quick to reply, enjoy a challenge, and want nothing more than to share their craft with the world. I've purchased two drums and will soon make it three. Give them a chance--you won't be disappointed.
I love this drum so much! It sounds beautiful all on its own, which makes it fun and easy to play music that sounds nice. It is very resonant and all the tones harmonize perfectly when you strike a note. The customer service was also very good, the shop owners kept in contact with me to let me know where in the process my order was and they were lovely to deal with. Definitely will buy more drums over time!
I ordered an Ember Tongue Drum from Burning27.com in Ukraine after doing a lot of research on tongue drums. I knew I wanted a handmade, unique instrument, and Yakiv, the owner, was awesome to work with. He answered all my questions and helped me pick a scale that fit exactly what I had in mind. The drum itself is gorgeous and has a wonderful, rich sound. Shipping was fast, and the drum was securely packaged. I plan to purchase from Burning27 again.
The tone of this drum is so beautiful and mysterious. It’s intuitive to play, and it’s so well made. If you tap the wrong area the drum barely makes a sound, nothing noticeable. I love this drum! Fun and soothing to play and it sounds magical!
My tongue drum looks and sounds so beautiful! This instrument has a resonant sound despite its small size. I love the Paradise scale as well! Very unique! Yakiv was such a pleasure to work with! He really cares about helping each client to get the instrument that is the best fit. Very high quality instruments! I was only gonna buy one tongue drum, but they all sound so beautiful that I decided to get two- and I’m so happy I did!!!
I ordered my drum on the 19th January and it arrived on the 18th march. I was in contact with Yavik all the way through the process from purchase to dispatch and arrival. I ordered the 12 inch spark in the golden gate scale and received much more the new design with a central petal. It's absolutely beautiful and sounds amazing, a photo or a video does not do it true justice.
Thank you so much Yavik. I would definitely recommend this maker and will definitely be purchasing again.
Amazingly rich and resonant tone! So beautiful in both its look and sound! I am So happy about this purchase! Highly recommend Yakiv’s high quality hand crafted instruments!
Ember Pygmy Drum is very very deep and warm and joyous. She is soo fine to play, i tap on her and find to flow, improvising rhythmically is intuitive, and that for me, whitout any music education.
Communication with Maker Yakiv very good und positive. Thank you.
I ordered the drum Jan 9th, received it Feb 9th......I consider this fantastic service! The drum arrived in perfect condition and seemed to play all by itself the moment I unpacked it. I am a complete beginner, the drum sounds so perfect even with my yet unskilled hands. Absolutely beautiful drum, pictures do not do it justice.
I own 10 tongue drums (and a travel hand pan). The Ember Mystic has the best tone, the longest, clearest sustain, and is the easiest to play with either fingers or mallets of any of them. The harmonics never cash. The mystic scale is ideal for me…slightly minor, highly expressive, ideal for both the struggles that engage us, and the hope that keeps us going. Wonderfully crafted. Wonderful to play. Thank you.
We could NOT be happier with our Ember tongue drum 10 key! Yakiv is the best, he worked so attentively to make exactly what we wanted and now we are looking at getting a second one to compliment the Ember - probably next a little Spark model :)
We did quite a lot of research on various drums and makers before making our purchase. Yakiv, his aesthetic and, so importantly, the incredibly smooth, resonant, beautiful sound and music could not be beat! We happily picked him and his creation and we are SO pleased! This drum is so meditative, too. We want to help spread the word about him and his incredible work. You won't be disappointed!!
Absolutely beautiful. The sound is mesmerizing and magical. The personable experience I had with questions and deciding which drum was best for me, I received prompt, courteous, and helpful attention. I was referred by my brother who had the same wonderful experience.
Thank you for such a beautiful handiwork that truly comes from the heart
My green pygmy 12" Spark drum (432 hz) arrived safe and sound. The music is what I hoped it to be. I'd give it a 6 star award if a cushioned case and stand were included, but that's for another day.
Golden Gate Spark is such a beautiful Drum. She looks absolutely wonderful in such beautiful colouring. Finest quality of handcraft!
Every time i play my heart smiles. Her music is so deep harmonious and sweet.
I am a beginner and i imagine everybody can enjoy playing her, as she is so intuitive to play.
I enjoy take my little drum outside in mother nature because she is so handy.
Yakiv is an absolutely caring Drum Maker, thank you Yakiv!
I bought from Yakiv 3 Spark Drum, one of them as present. Each of the 3 is absolutely perfect.
Such a beautiful handcraft!!! For me every drum is magical. I have no words for the sound, it is absolutely beautiful with a wide range from deep to sweet tones.
It is such a joy for me to play melodies every day.
I have several other tongue drums from independent makers but these drums are really heart touching!
I’m really happy with my Spark Tongue Drum in Golden Gate from Yakiv. The craftsmanship is beautiful without being overly polished — it’s solid, intentional, and made with care. The finish has a subtle glow, like its name Golden Amber, and the rope rim adds a warm, handmade touch.
The sound is what drew me in. The Golden Gate scale feels warm yet emotional, with a tone that settles gently into the body. It’s intuitive to play and easy to get lost in its flow. I am sure this drum will be a meaningful addition to my sound work 💛
And I want to thank Yakiv for his patience and kindness while guiding me in my decision on the Golden Gate scale, As I am based in Singapore, shipment did took a while, which was at no fault of Yakiv, and he kept me updated on the shipment status. The drum arrived safely all the way from Ukraine, carefully packed with a lot of care. Thank you Yakiv!
This is the best tongue I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. Beautiful craftsmanship and the customer service I received was brilliant. Can’t recommend Burning 27 enough! Thank you!!!
This is a really special Drum: such a beautiful and warm and deep tones and perfectly harmonious!!!. Every time i play the sound is healing and joyful.
My whole experience with Yakiv from Burning27 is absolutely positive, he and his team care about the customer, and that he receives what fits. Through the whole process good and clear communication and fast shipping. Thank you, i can absolutely recommend you.
PS: my Foto can not picture the Beauty of this Drum, in the sunlight she glimmers in rainbow color!!!
The drum arrived quickly, and I really appreciate the personal touches and great costumer service as well as guidance about the different drums available-I went with the spark Celtic minor. And of course the drum sounds beautiful!!
It is a beautiful instrument. I was hoping though that the sound would be a bit more resonant with more volume. Some of the notes when I strike them are quite faint. Also I would have liked to have played with my fingers as well, but the tongues don't respond when I try to play with my fingers. This is my first such drum. I am but a beginner. I love the Golden Gate chord. I only wish that the sound were not so faint.
100% worth the price
I got 2 drums in 432hz D and they sounds like heaven. The videos don’t do justice on how good they really sounds. You can really feel then resonate throughout your body.I got a pygmy and hijaz scale and they sounds wonderful together.So fun to play without any experience due to the scale. you cant go wrong with whatever combination you make and if you are playing for like a hour you wil definitely come op with some interesting and soothing songs.Service is super good as well since on the website there where no option in 432hz D so i just ask and he helped me get the best one for my liking. If you are thinking about getting one or not? I can assure you it is definitely one of the best one you can get on the market!!
Beyond what I expected!
Stunning appearance just to behold and holdAnd then there's the primoridal soundlike a sonic portal of every feeling of vastnessthat's been waiting for just this

How to care for Tongue Drum?
Steel Tongue Drums is definitely durable than Handpans, (as it's made of thicker steel). Tongue drum also stronger than most popular musical instruments, as made of steel and is easy to care. But still worth remember that it is a musical instrument, so we recommend Follow 4 Simple Steps to Care: - Avoid moisture and extra-temperature. - Keep instrument from drops and unstable surfaces. - Control the force when hitting petals. - Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Repeat this regularly - at least once a month, it will help your drum live longer!
Can Tongue Drum be played with your hands?
Yes, Tongue Drum can be played with your hands or mallets (mallets included), but need to know that for beginners it may take some time to understand the technique of hands playing, - it's a kind of percussion kick, not just a touch. From start you can use mallets and bit by bit move on to playing with hands — with regular practice it will not take you more than a week.
Can Burning27 drums be called exclusive and craft?
Usually we make up to 30 instruments per month, therefore, you get not a mass-product, but a unique instrument created with attention to every detail. This is not just a product, it's result of the masters work. By purchasing such an instruments you support new culture and handmade music. Our purpose is creation of unique art and preserve traditions. Imagine, that your drum is one of only 30 made in a month. Each drum has its own energy, attention to sound and detail. It is a piece of art you add to your life.
I saw similar but cheaper. What is difference?
Unfortunately, in recent years, there have been many fakes that may look very similar, but this is not it. Real quality requires a careful approach to tuning notes, also expensive materials and most importantly - knowledge of the matter from master. This can't be conveyed by a picture and often a dishonest “manufacturer” imposes a false sound - be careful when choosing because disappointment from poor quality lasts longer than the joy from a sweet price.
