Zenko Drums from Metal Sounds

A Fond Farewell to Metal Sounds

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that one of our beloved partners, Metal Sounds, has come to the end of their instrument-making journey. Based in France, Metal Sounds spent nearly 20 years crafting exquisite Spacedrum handpans and Zenko tongue drums. Their commitment to innovation, quality, and accessible craftsmanship helped bring the magic of metal sound instruments to a global community of sound lovers and musicians.

From developing scalable production methods for high-quality handpans to their contributions at international music gatherings, Metal Sounds was more than a supplier—they were a cornerstone of the handpan world, and a cherished collaborator for us at We Play Well Together.

Limited Stock Remaining

As Metal Sounds concludes their operations, we are down to our final inventory of instruments from their AIR Collection, including:
• Zenko Element Aria
• Zenko Ionian

We no longer have Spacedrum handpans available, and once our current stock of Zenko tongue drums is sold, they will not be restocked. If you are a retailer or a customer interested in these finely crafted instruments, we encourage you to reach out now to inquire about remaining availability.

With Gratitude and Respect

We send our deepest thanks and warmest wishes to the entire Metal Sounds team. It has been a true honor to work alongside them. While this chapter has closed, we look forward to seeing where their next adventures lead.

To those who own a Zenko or Spacedrum, know that you hold a rare and exceptional instrument—one that is no longer in production and ever more special because of it.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
The WePlayWellTogether Team

The Zenko, a stainless steel melodic percussion instrument, is a type of tongue drum (also called a “tank” drum or “hank” drum).

The tongue drum, originally built from propane gas tanks, was improved on by Metal Sounds designer Elie Dacenko. Elie collaborated with scientists and experts in the metal industry field. They studied the raw materials, the blade cutting, assembly, and finish, and the result of their efforts is this exquisite instrument. 

When one plays the Zenko it spreads sound in smooth, soft waves. Its high harmonics content is the result of perfect tuning that remains stable over the years. Play it by hand or use the sticks.

Question: How do I chose a matching zenko drum for my Equinox?
Answer:

1) Compatibility: the idea is to have two compatible scales that could be played by two different players for a jam.
The best thing to do in this case is to have the same scale (ex: Equinox+Equinox)
or a scale that shares a lot of notes with the Equinox: Ionian, Penta C, Solstice.

2) Complementarity: the idea is to have an additional scale, with different notes from the Equinox, in order to play alone on 2 Zenko. The best choice is the Combo.
