I haven't read all comments, but would love a CD of your playing. You are delightful and seem so peaceful...bet your doggie and kitty are two of the most relaxed critters in the neighborhood. Thanks so much for the video - most interesting!

😂 you are goodvyou will get use the video making the more familiar u are.

When I started playing Cello I didn't buy one for thousands of dollars. I bought one from Amazon for about 200. I still use it as my practice instrument to this day. When learning or thinking of getting into playing an instrument you shouldn't buy one for thousands of dollars. You never know if it will stick with you. If you do stick with it and get serious, then later on you can save for a better one.

There is also variation between different manufacturers. One cheap handpan is not going to be the same as another, so be very careful.

Thank you for supporting Ukranian business!)

Thank you this video helped a loot 🙏

Captions are hard to keep up with wen ur legally blind 😂😅

Calming

I am passing this to my cousins!!! Thank you!

Hi, Max & Chloe, First few views and comment on your channel for me! Might I add that I'm glad to have found you! Grand stuff, I do say! Regarding the content of the video and the differences heard/perceived in the comparison: Upon looking for examples of the cheaper handpans that are becoming readily available, and the relating dubiousness that such entails, I followed a comment and found this video. The only amz/tem/ali example/recording, of which I've found that has removed the rubber rim protector... There's a huge difference between the two, in my humble, honest, minimally learned, opinion. Enough so that you might well have just aided in the conformation that I'd be content with a factory-made, mass-produced handpan to commence my journey into a realm, that'd otherwise be at present a somewhat expenisvely uncertain and alas, financially out of reach journey for me! If I was to recieve an unblemished, tuned pan from one of the import sites that sounds as this one does, I certainly wouldn't regret the purchase, regardless of being limited to one scale, compromising of 10 notes and however many chords that two hands has the potential to make! The overall change/contrast of the sounds envolope (ie. attack/sustain/decay) is definitely noticeable. The second, de-rubbered rim, being a more postive, favourable, reasurring, meditive factor might I add! Do I sense slightly more overtone/harmoic register? There's certsinly more 'colour'/brightness, and the gentle, immersive soundscape that one would wish to frequent. I'm only observing and listening through a (few year old flagship) Samsung and it's in built Dolby Atmos speaker and could literally feel the soundwave difference in my fingertips! Upon further reflection: I did notice that your playing naturaly switched up a level once you'd removed the rubber and sample a few notes/percusive techniques. Also, upon finishing the second sound deml, the little "hm!" of which you expressed was defiantly perceivable a pleasant suprise! Im conclusion: I don't believe I'd have been able to tell the difference between the mass produced being demonstrated and a more expensive handcrafted one. At least listening to a recording through a handheld device, that is. The rubber rim protector definitely provides a muting, 'flattening' effect and I can only presume that they're intended for shipping purposes. Out of curiosity: Do the artisans handmade handpans typically come shipped with them? I do really want to sample a cheaper handpan now, I think that it'd be a good entry-point for a novice pauper such as myself! Thank you for your video(s), skill, time and useful insight! I look forward to more of your appeasing

So calming 😌

awesome, I like the bonus song :) btw, I didn't know 'swing low, sweet chariot' song, it kinda sounds like 'amazing grace' actually... similar chords I guess...

Love the tshirt!🙂 You're a good instructor.

Thank you so much! I'm pretty sure I prefer the sound of the Frog Drum. Very helpful video.

I have the same tongue drum. I do not agree with your C and D explanation. C and D nearly almost means C scale and D scale. Your Hluru 14 tone drum has f(4‘), g (5‘), a (6‘), b (7‘), c’ (1), d’ (2), e’ (3), f’ (4), g’ (5), a’ (6), h’ (7), c“ (1“), d“ (2“) e“ (3“). That is true C scale. So it begins with "f".There are also many 15 tones C scale tongue drums and they will beginn with e(3'), f(4') and so on. If it was a D scale, it would begin with g @3' or f#/fis @4' (depending if you have a 14 or 15 tone drum). Please use a chromatic tuner (e.g. soundcorset app for Android) and you will see the difference

Can you link me which one you got off Amazon?

Very nice 👍

I come from alabama with a banjo on my knee im going o Louisiana now my true love for to see it rained all night the day we left the weather it was dry the sun so hot i froze to death oh Susanna dont you cry for me i come from alabama with a banjo on my knee 🗣️📢🔥🔥🔥

Hi, so which type should I buy?

Would you recommend a Pandra Drum Pro? I play piano, hammered dulcimer, and guitar. Thanks

If you want to learn to play Pop type Songs....no! They are no good. Blues Rock is quite often in a Minor Pentatonic (my preference over the Major Pentatonic)....and sometimes in the Major Pentatonic. Those types of songs can be done.

I work at a school for children with multiple and severe disabilities. I use pentatonic tongue drums for the simple reason that you "can't play wrong notes". Very much - as you say- almost for meditation rather than formal teaching. The kids (3-19yo) love the sessions, even ADHD kids calm down, are attentive and less disruptive for the rest of the day.

Hello daughter! High-five Daddy for us one day.

At first, care more about the sound that you make, than the sound that you desire. Relax, and your mindful attention will lead you. Later, you can exercise more conscious control, but at first, just lean into your instrument, and explore the reasons, the world in which, you obtained it.

Mind gently blown. Well, actually opened. Seriously. Thank you so much for this, and for your openness and honesty. Much appreciated. Edit: no right, no wrong. Exactly. We are all on a journey. 🙏👍

Your music is inspired. Healing...❤ Your soul, your essence comes through in your music. It is the language of your heart. You are Love. Beautiful. Thank you.💜🙏💜

Thank you for this 😊 It’s really refreshing that you decided not to edit the video much and it just had a nice flow.

Thank you for playing them all. I heared all of them and i have to say the handpan has my favorite sound out of them

Muchas GRACIAS por el vídeo.EXCELENTE!!!

My brand is a Vixxnoxx are they any good , i paid £339 for it .

Thank you David!! I am so glad you posted this.. We are raising a 5 year old and my Nova drum is damaged.. I wanted to thank you again for your Rainbow post.. It means a lot to me..

Hey!:) I wanted to contact you but forgot your email address. How can I find you? Regards, NovaDrum *or please contact us

I love it. Cherish every moment.

💜🙏💜

🙏🙂👍

great video1 - if I am more confident with my vocals I'd attempt to play the drum as an accompaniment instrument for singing :)

I used to twirl on the swing as well!

Bro, it's my first drum, my dad bought it me for Christmas 2 years ago!😊

Just bought my first tongue drum!!! I got the exact same as the golden tongue drum except it's white. It's 12 inches and 11 notes. I choose it over a 13 note because I want to simplify things for myself. I'm excited!!

Thank you for this film, I want to buy my second drum adn I didn't knew, what choose. After watching this video I know. Thanks! What do you think bout this drum: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d99gfLKZldq8nXU.html

I don’t understand how they can make a decent hand pan for $200 but it costs thousands for an actual good one.

Thank you so much I learned a lot about the differences. The sounds are so beautiful, I love the sustains.

Thank you

Mine has a tongue that is NOT sounding right. Am going to do this later. thank you.

I have done similar. Also one time on of my Idiopans notes wasso dull. It turns out there was paint dropped in between the tongue. So all I needed was a better knife and got rid of the drip and then nice sounding note!!

Not a fair comparison if not playing the same notes on each drum . You need two of the same scale drums . to do this right , good try but , Not as effective!

The nova drum sounds incredible! It’s the best one by far!! Such a pure tone even with fingers, it may not be the best tone over all but it softens the finger hits so you don’t get the steel rattle and all you seem to hear in only the tone which makes it sound better

I love that synth for iPad. Which sound is it ? I bought all the banks once when they had a sale. Would love to play that sound. Since I had surgery years and can only use one hand. Glad you are playing and enjoying music and nature

Very relaxing. Beautiful affirmations. 💕

Grateful to see you playing again !! Very lovely
