The Carved Tik Tok Tone Block is a two-tone wooden block and beater that cuts through classroom noise, helping children keep the beat and play rhythm games in Early Years, Primary, Secondary and SEND music.
For quick, clear rhythm cues, Carved Tik Tok Tone Block cuts through classroom chatter with a bright, focused tick-tock that pupils can hear instantly. The two contrasting tones make it easy to signal changes, mark beats or highlight individual rhythm patterns in whole-class activities.
Materials & build
The block is carved from solid wood, giving a warm, resonant tone and a reassuringly sturdy feel for everyday school use. Its rounded profile sits comfortably in smaller hands, while the included beater is securely attached so it’s less likely to be mislaid between lessons.
Classroom use & progression
In group work it can act as a focus signal, time-keeper or part of a wood block percussion instrument section within ensembles. Use it for call-and-response warm-ups, counting patterns and rhythm games for children, then progress to more complex ostinatos and layered textures as confidence grows. It also appears in Drums for Schools Home Starter and Nursery Rhythm Kits, making it easy to match instruments across your sets.

Product Information
How to Play
To play, hold it in the middle and use the beater provided and hit each end of the Tik Tok. Each instrument has unique pitches so even if you have two, you may get four different pitches.
Delivery
We work with a small number of specialist logistic companies to deliver your order quickly and economically. The delivery method varies, depending on your location and the size of the order, as follows:
UK Locations
Orders up to 5kg – Courier 2 to 3 working day delivery. This would typically include books, smaller instruments, percussion baskets and djembes up to 40cm.
Orders over 5kg – Courier, next working day delivery. Most orders are sent this way.
Large orders – Pallet service, 3 to 5 working day delivery. Used for large orders and those with more fragile contents.
Please note:
- Above timings are from dispatch date. Time from placing your order will usually be one or two days longer, depending on the order and destination.
- Delivery to offshore or Highland addresses may take longer and may cost more than to UK mainland addresses and we’ll quote and agree the costs with you in advance. Please note that in these cases it’s fine to go ahead and place your order, and there’s no obligation on your part until the delivery costs have been quoted and accepted by you.
- For some destinations, where a courier service isn’t available, we may send by Royal Mail instead.
International Locations
Orders weighing less than 1kg and not too bulky – Post Office Airmail. This would include books and smaller percussion instruments.
Orders weighing more than about 1kg and large orders – international courier or pallet service. We’ll obtain competitive quotes and agree these with you in advance.
Please note that it’s fine to go ahead and place your international order prior to confirming shipping costs, and that there’s no obligation on your part until the delivery costs have been quoted and accepted by you. Payment for international orders, including shipping costs, is required before dispatch of the goods.
Returns
Please let us know straight away if anything arrives damaged or otherwise in a substandard condition and we’ll be happy to replace it, refund the cost or provide you with an alternative product to your satisfaction. Speed is of the essence here as most courier companies will only accept responsibility for damage in transit if the damage is reported within 24 hours of delivery.
In the event of damage, please take photographs, including any damage to the packaging, and email these to us ASAP.
Similarly, if an instrument develops a fault within 12 months of purchase in the course of normal use (though excluding fair wear and tear), please let us know, and we’ll replace it or refund the cost. It’s also very helpful for us to see photos of the issue as this gives us solid information for changing the design, the production method or the packing materials.
But please do contact us before returning any damaged or substandard items. Once we’ve approved their return, please send to: Drums for Schools Limited, 21 Shaftesbury Avenue, Burton Joyce NG14 5GL
We really appreciate your feedback in the case of faults (or if you think an instrument could be improved in any way) and we take all such feedback very seriously indeed.
