Kindred Spirit Steel Drums Kindred Spirit Steel Drums is an instrument manufacturing company. We are global leaders in extreme Thank-you for choosing Kindred Spirit Drums!

Hello Kindred Spirits,


My name is Brynn Clingwall, and I am the creator of Kindred Spirit Drums, an instrument fabrication company founded in November of 2014. Kindred Spirit Drums is lucky to be at the forefront of producing a new kind of instrument that is growing in popularity and gaining larger traction with musicians everyday. At this time, our production facility is located in Roberts Cre

ek on the Sunshine Coast which is a beautiful peninsula on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada. My love affair with steel instruments began in February of 2014 when I was exposed to Steel Tongue Drums and Handpans while journeying through the Southern United States. Unbeknownst to me at the time, these instruments had sparked a fire in my spirit that is only now coming to fruition. After a lot of hard work, and many hours spent in dedication to the passion I found, I am happy to say Kindred Spirit Drums has fully coalesced into a thriving business. I would not be here without the support of my family, friends, and everyone else on my journey who have helped shape Kindred Spirit Drums into what it is today. I owe everything that I have, that I am, and that I will be to these connections, and am eternally grateful for the support I have received thus far. Each of the instruments I create is a physical manifestation of gratitude; A heart-felt thank you to the world we share, and for everything and everyone in it. I hope when you play your Kindred Spirit Steel Tongue Drum you will embody the same sense of wonder, love, and gratitude that I experienced while making it for you. With A Deep Bow Of Gratitude,

Brynn Clingwall
Founder, Kindred Spirit Drums

We've had a very busy holiday season this year and are looking forward to some down time in the spring when production slows down!

Hello Kindred Spirits!

You can also add a softcase for an additional $70.00USD/$85.00CAD!

Zenith means β€œthe point in the sky or celestial sphere directly above an observer,” or β€œthe time at which something is most powerful or successful.” The Zenith Tonguepan is a professional level instrument, comparable in craftsmanship to some of the finest handmade instruments in the world. It has deep bass, clear highs, and a beautiful layered timbre created by the harmonic series built into every tongue. Tuning an instrument of this caliber to our standards requires a high level of human skill and a well trained musical ear to achieve successfully. The Zenith comes with a special geometric design that is etched deeply into the metal, a rich antique patina, and silky powder-coat, making them luxurious in every way. They are beautiful pieces of art that are also highly capable instruments.
Technical Information: The Zenith tonguepan is a 12 note, steel percussion instrument that has a tuned harmonic series in every tongue (2-5 partials, depending on the note). It is made from 2 hydro-formed shells of our special high-carbon material, 19” (48cm) in diameter, with a 3mm thick top shell for great note clarity and sustain. Like our smaller Helios tonguepan, the Zenith comes with our special β€œtechnomantic” patina and clear-coat finish, as well as a built in pick-up system, rubber feet, rubber rim, and laser etched sound hole plug. Included Accessories: Instructional Booklet, Mallets, Certificate of
Authenticity.

I am just in the process of rebuilding our forge for the next generation of Zenith tonguepans! The majority of the refractory bricks we used are from an old industrial incinerator so they are extra skookum! Once I install the new burners and the door we will be good to go! 😁
Thanks for the help Dad! We got all those big bricks locked down perfectly. Can't wait to finish it off and use it!

Heya Kindred Spirits! It's been a little while since I've posted anything. We had some hard family things going on this spring that occupied a lot of my time and I've mostly just been keeping my head down and moving ahead with production and the day to days of life.
Here is an A2 Hijaz that I made a few months ago for a music teacher at a university in Toronto. I think it turned out really well and the recipient was extremely happy with the end result!
As I sort through the videos I've made over the last few months, and all the pictures I have taken I will be getting back into the rhythm of posting. May you all find your happiness with a piece of singing steel!

I've been working on some new shaping techniques and heating cycles for my handpan project . Exploring handpan building theory and the various metallurgical rabbit holes is always fun. I'm glad I have more time to spend working on these instruments, now that my other product lines have stabilized and production processes have been streamlined.

Not an instrument! 😜 This is one of my favorite flower life cycles! Nigella Damascena also known as "Love-In-A-Mist", which are a species native to Southern Europe, North Africa and Southwest Asia, though we are lucky to have some in the garden here in British Columbia. These flowers tend to grow in clusters and progress individually, so you have a constantly evolving and changing landscape of proto-flowers, full flowers and seed pods as each stalk goes through its own particular evolution. I am enamored by how dynamic they transform, and enjoy their parallels with passion flowers.
