"The Hidden Light Within."
Lumen Arcana is a portal into the unseen, a visual language etched in sacred geometry and crowned with the all-seeing eye. Translated from Latin, Lumen Arcana means “Secret Light”—a concept found throughout ancient traditions, where divine wisdom is hidden in plain sight, awaiting the eyes and hearts ready to perceive it.
At the center of the piece rests the symbolic Eye—an eternal witness, representing higher consciousness and the ever-present awareness that observes all things. This is not the eye of surveillance, but of gnosis—a knowing that comes from within, from silence, from connection to source.
Encircling the eye is a tapestry of intricate geometry: golden ratios, interlocking patterns, and fractal symmetry that mimic the blueprint of nature itself. From the spirals of galaxies to the structure of our DNA, these patterns are not decorative—they are the language of creation. When we gaze upon them, something ancient stirs inside us. A remembrance.
Lumen Arcana carries the lore of the initiates—those who have walked the path of self-discovery, of healing, of inner alchemy. It is a reminder that hidden within the chaos of the modern world lies a deeper order. A light not found in external illumination, but in the quiet glow of inner awareness.

I love it! The best part is moving the magnets around for different scales.
It's beautiful and the sounds it makes are magical, grounding, and healing to my soul!
Way cool i play it often and it brings me so much joy everytime
Absolutely love my set. I’ve been practicing and I hope to get better as time goes on. Regardless, it’s a work of art and I enjoy just looking at them. I’m so happy with my purchase.
The craftsmanship and sound quality are absolutely superb! My sound therapy sessions have just elevated to a whole new level. These Chroma Drums are just beautiful!
this is a magical instrument that calls to everyone in the family, including my young daughter. The design, color and sound each contribute to the magic. I gifted one to a musical friend who also loves it.
Amazing craftsmanship, Amazing Sound! This is a piece I will treasure forever. Such an ethereal sound.
So beautiful and the sound is clear and healing. I am looking forward to this new addition to my journey.
This instrument has not left my side since I purchased it. The way it vibrates and harmonizes is unlike anything I've ever played before.
My 9 inch mini is as beautiful as it sounds. Every time I walk by it I have to stop and play. It is a nice addition to my sound bath collection and my participants love it. It’s a wonderful instrument and a lovely, well crafted work of art. Thank you so much for your creation! 🙏
The quality of design and sound is remarkable … extremely fast shipping
In very happy with my purchase
I got two very high quality tongue drums in one deal. I absolutely love being able to tune them with the magnents to get the best sound that resonates with me in the E minor and B minor. Their sound and quality honestly beats out even Vibedrum for me. You won't find this healing sound anywhere else! The owner was also very patient to my inquiries and even gave me some history about the drums and Chroma Drum. I strongly recomend these handpans and tongue drums for your healing sound journey and professional play.
Ive owned a few different tongue drums from various places and my Chroma Drum is in a league of its own.. the resonance is unbelievable and the fact that I can tune it is seriously cool. Highly recommend this company. Thank you Michael!!!
Just 2 notes I feel were faint although overall glorious and majestic af!
I've tried several tongue drums of different brands but none of them match the quality of Chroma Drums... The moment you hold it in your hands, you can just tell that these are beyond anything else out there.
Thank you for this beautiful drum. Arrived in time for Solstice activities! I love the iridescent finish and pure sound quality.
Unforeseen circumstances caused a delay in getting this bag but it was well worth the wait. I wasn't in a rush to receive it but I'm very happy with the level of communication between us and he kept me informed every step of the way. The bag itself is extremely well made (custom sized) and holds my drum securely with room for two sets of mallets. This is a great quality bag sold by an honorable seller.
Both beautiful & functional !
Easy ordering ! Received in timely manner !

I bought this drum as a Christmas gift for my significant other. She had always wanted one and I decided to make that wish a reality. With the beautiful craftsmanship of Mike, that reality was realized. Even though I'm not a huge instrument aficionado, the sounds that emanate from this are amazing. You will not be disappointed.
I have nothing but good things to say about my drum! It was securely packed and has brought me and my friends nothing but joy since I've inboxed it. I would absolutely recommend this drum and I may consider buying a second one so I can play with two different tuning scales.
I absolutely LOVE my custom drum. Michael put his heart and soul into crafting this gem. I knew I was guided to him for a reason. Michael was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns. He began work on my drum as soon as I placed the order...so, he was very efficient and his work is flawless. The drum sings beautifully! The drum was shipped in record time after placing my order. I can't thank you enough Michael. Metatron thanks you too:)
I can't say enough about Michael and his drums. When I placed the order, he spoke with me via Facebook talking about scales and coloring, answering all of my questions. I placed the order and had it in a week. I play it every day, and find it difficult to stop! If you are in the market for a drum like this, choosing Chromadrum is an extremely wise choice!
I first discovered steel tongue drums when I read an article a few weeks back. I was mesmerized and I immediately knew that I had to had one for my husband for his birthday. I did some research online, and when I saw an image of the ChromaDrums, I knew I found the one I was searching for. I emailed Mike a few questions, and he was quick to reply and was very helpful and informative. I placed my order a few days later and received the drum this weekend. The drum arrived very well-packed and Mike even wrote "Happy Birthday" on the insert card. His attention to detail and passion for what he creates are displayed in his beautiful work. I was so excited about the purchase, I caved and gave my husband his present 3 weeks early. He LOVES it, and didn't stop playing it the entire weekend. Already ready to purchase another.
Michael and his drum creations are great! I received it in less than a week, and it came professionally packaged and protected it comfy foam cushioning. The drum itself is gorgeous brushed steel and plays very nicely! I already took it to a local farmer market and played, and met some very nice people who just HAD to ask about it! Great quality, great business, great person. Love it!
While researching steel tongued drums I can across Michael's amazing Instagram page and message him about his drum. Not only was he an amazing help with choosing your own personal sound but has also has a soundcloud with all the various tuning styles he can make your drum. You can also choose the hertz at which you want your drum, I chose 432hz. He's very communicative and ensures that the drum is made perfectly and especially for you. I would highly recommend getting a chromadrum for anyone who is a beginner for steel tongue drums like myself. Not to mention he uses priority shipping so your drum comes shipped beautifully and safely wrapped on foam and quick as heck! Definitely plan on having future purchases =) thanks again Michael.
I first met Mr. Chromadrum sitting upon a hilltop known as Meditation outlook overlooking the magic of Lightning in a Bottle Music Festival. Though the sounds of the bass from far down below echoed through the landscape, it was the beautiful resonance I heard from my first drum that caught my attention. On the spot he showed me how to play it and I purchased it immediately. One cannot describe the beauty that this drum can create. The workmanship and crafting ability seen in these drums is unlike any other that I have seen. Each drum has its unique personality and sound. A beautiful piece of artwork showing both style and sound.
I hardly know where to begin, I LOVE this drum. I'm still getting the hang of it (this is my first instrument) but every note is gorgeous. It sounds wonderful, looks beautiful and is a joy to practice. Michael is friendly, passionate and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend!
This drum has ver;y beautiful tone, incredible workmanship and a great value compared to other drum makers. We couldn't be more pleased. It was expertly packed, arrived very quickly and is very beautifully made. You won't be disappointed.
