Living in a tiny house doesn’t mean giving up music. Several instruments work well in small spaces, from hand drums to steel tongue drums to digital options. The key is choosing instruments that are compact, store easily, and won’t overwhelm your neighbors with volume.
The djembe (pronounced JEM-bay) is a West African hand drum with a goatskin drumhead. It’s a popular choice for small space living because it requires no additional equipment, stores upright in a corner, and can be played at varying volumes. Derek “DEEK” Diedricksen of Relaxshacks has recommended these for tiny house dwellers.
