Eight constellations that always sound good.

Ten tunes, each with its story.

One piece Japanese monks played four centuries ago as meditation, and you play it on night three.

Panda Drum® Aura · Deep Forest

"I bought a cheaper drum last year and it lived in a closet because half the notes sounded off. This one sounds like a real instrument. The first piece on night three actually got me."

Panda Drum® Aura · Deep Forest

"I've had it two weeks and I play it every night before bed. My husband asked what changed. The book is the reason. I never once sat there wondering what to do with it."

Everything you play

A single note can change your whole day. The Aura book, the drum, the stars - all working together so your play feels good, right from the first sound.

Relieves

Strike anywhere. Every note was tuned to agree with the rest, so the first sound you make is already a good one.

Brings Presence

A note on Aura rings for seconds. You listen to all of it, and for those seconds there is nothing else.

Is Yours

No sheet music, no wrong notes, no one grading you. The book tells you what to play tonight, and your hands do the rest.

Stays

Two minutes tonight is a practice. By week two your hands know the notes without looking, and the moon page at the back keeps count.

5 tunings

Three nights. That's the whole ramp.

  1. 1.

    Night one.
    First Sound.

    Strike the home note, the one
    with the star. Wait until it's
    almost gone. Strike its partner.
    Two minutes, and you've done it.

  2. 2.

    Night two. First
    Constellation

    Two notes make a shape.
    Play the shape until it
    starts to feel like a place
    you can go back to.

  3. 3.

    Night three.
    The First Piece.

    A tune Japanese monks played as meditation
    more than 400 years ago. A few notes, slowly,
    one at a time. Before you play it, notice how
    loud the day is in your head. Then notice after.

Pick a feeling. Find its shape on the map. Play it.

Aura's notes are drawn as stars on a map inside the book. Small groups of them are constellations, and each one has a feel.

First Light. Two notes climbing. Bright, awake, morning.

North Star. The two notes that sound most like home. When you don't know what to play, play these.

Moonrise. Low notes, close together, slow. The last thing before the lamp goes off.

From Tibetan temple bowls to your living room.

The sound temples have used for centuries, built into stainless steel you can hold in one hand.

  1. 1.

    Cut. A sheet of stainless steel, cut and shaped by hand.

  2. 2.

    Voiced. The notes are cut into the top one by one, and the sound diffusers are set inside.

  3. 3.

    Tuned, five times. Each note is tuned, then tuned against every other note, then tuned again after every coat of finish. The fifth pass is by ear.

  4. 4.

    Finished. Layers of paint, light underneath and deep green on top. The letters are cut through to the steel.

  5. 5.

    Banded. The woven band goes on, and Aura goes in the box with its book.

What two minutes does to a day

Before the day

Two minutes after the coffee and before the phone, and the day starts at your speed instead of its own.

A man sits cross-legged on a rug, smiling while playing a steel tongue drum with mallets.

Coming home

The day's speed is still in your hands when

you walk in. Aura runs slower, and within a

few notes so do you.

A woman sits on a couch, playing a green steel tongue drum with mallets on a coffee table.

After a hard hour

Nobody thinks their way out of a bad hour. One run down every note and back home, and something in you empties out.

A woman in pajamas sits on a bedroom floor, playing a green steel tongue drum with her hands.

Before sleep

Fingertips only, the quietest sound in the house, and the last thing you hear before the lamp goes off.

What changes after a week

You slow down without being told to. The fade of one note sets your pace, and after a few nights it sets it before you sit down.

You listen more. To the note, then to the room, then to the people in it.

You have a thing that's yours.  It sits out where you can see it, you wipe it down after you play, and nobody else will ever play it quite the way you do.

What it takes to feel better for two minutes
