5 Rav Vast Tips to Improve Your Playing/ Break Routines

Hello my Friends!
Five Idea for improving your playing and breaking habits!
I am hoping this video is useful to allot of you.
When approaching any instrument, there is a point at which you feel creatively stuck.
This may only last a day or a week, but sometimes that feeling leads you to put the instrument down for a while.
Although taking an instrument break is always useful for seeing them with fresh eyes, before putting down your rav drum, try these five things!
Hope you are well and thanks for your continued support and playing!
Remember,
Rewildyoursoul
ps- I am happy to entertain new video ideas! With the weather improving, I can begin recording them again!

That's exactly why I am so intrigued by this instrument...for the freedom of playing intuitively without any pre-set rules...that is what I love the most of the RAV Vast, thanx! Compliments Rick on your cool jacket's, on your collection of cool hats ;-) and on your videos

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Well said! I think that i the beauty of these instruments! Thanks for your kind words :)

[@zicbri]

wow... your fifth tip is the best I ever heard regarding any kind of instrument... so inspiring... thank you so much!!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Glad it was helpful! I know people get very stuck in the "this is the right way to play mentality" so happy to help break it!

[@carlosfairfield]

Great tips, Thank you so much *

[@locovino2271]

First let me start by saying Thank you for all your videos .... they are very helpful and inspiring and even though you are providing us with a bit of knowledge it just feel like a friend that came over.. doesn't feel like all does other videos... I have issue with focusing but with your background sounds and the way you approach things it just relaxing thanks buddy from Tampa Florida ... I really love playing this Rav best addiction ever... Blessing .... by the way love the chickens in some of the videos lol awesome

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Good! That's the objective :) I have tried to build a community of friends here!

[@tamararupt]

Beautiful video and useful tips! Thank you!

[@abhaybulusu5547]

Much needed openness about the instrument! Thank you ! :)

[@ReWildYourSoul]

thanks so much! I think we can all benefit from letting go of some of the standards we hold ourselves to, with any instrument. I appreciate your kind words!

[@Sitri84]

Great tips. I always enjoy your videos :)

[@SS-qo3nt]

I really appreciate your videos especially the message at the last part of this one.........!

[@BarryGrueter]

Thanks for sharing Ricky 🙏

[@VolokursHH]

That is a really useful and encouraging video. Thank you. That will surely enrich the technique and by that the style of playing. "We are the ones who are developing it!"

[@scottmusson]

Really appreciate your video blogs, very inspiring and informative.

[@ggarbo303]

Great piece of info here...I am waiting like a kid who is waiting for Christmas for mine to arrive...love your teaching method!

[@johnrabner1604]

My favorite tip is to play it from your soul!! Not quite your words, but I find that when I just let go of the mind's 'right way', magic happens. The other tips are great too, especially spinning the drum....I go 90 degree at a time and just go exploring. Number 5 drum is in the mail! Thanks for your dedication to the Rav bringing us your teaches.

[@guam9am748]

Thank you

[@bob7020]

Thank you bro it was really helpful tips

[@DistilledDreams]

Thanks for the video! I love all the tips, and the one when you rotate it 180 (or even 90 degrees) is a game changer! Not only breaking habits and suddenly finding new melodies, but also seemingly dull keys start to sound different and much cooler! :D I guess this would depend on the instrument though, and on the way you hold it: knees, or stand or whatever but I really like the sound of reversed Rav!

[@kinaost]

You are the absolute best! Thank you so much for all your fantastic videos! 🙏😊

[@ReWildYourSoul]

I very much appreciate your kind words :)

[@jc-fd7kj]

thanks so much! Love the way you think!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Glad you liked it!

[@mikesterloc]

Great video. You’re very well spoken. I’m impatiently counting the weeks

[@ReWildYourSoul]

thanks my friend. I appreciate your kind words. it will be worth your wait :) They are spectacular instruments. What scale did you order?

[@antonmackey5814]

Love the videos and the advise. I have my first one coming soon... Unfortunately I will be traveling to perform when it arrives. I just got into harmonic music a year ago with a native American flute, dijiem, jaw harps, and a kalimba. So I fell in love with the Rav after seeing your comparison video and it helped for me too choose it over the hand pan. Sound, durability, and price. Love your tutorials too. Namaste brother

[@locovino2271]

I almost went towards the hangPan myself then saw his video and the sounds thta came for this Rav was amazing..so took your same route...

[@sammihebert6493]

Thank you for all those tips! Also where did you get that jacket?? So beautiful!

[@carleengaliardo]

Great advice!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Glad you think so! :)

[@Nilz4FR]

beautiful rims...where did you get that one? I would love to get a leather one

[@martindavidson7717]

Good advice

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Thanks Martin! Hope you are doing well and would love to play sometime in the near future!

[@amunraja]

Great tips! My rav is currently being made. Where the heck did you get that awesome jacket?

[@velocia7759]

I do own a Rav Vast and own it for a few years now but I am not that happy with it. Even tho I love the sound, I think I chose the wrong scale for myself. A Integral isn't my scale to work with. Maybe I'll trade for another one or sell it and get a new one to fit my frequencys better. So here is a Tipp from me if you don't own a Handpan and have to fortune to live in a city. Try to play as many different rav vasts as you can to get a feeling which one connects with you. Nadishanas playing with the A Integral version and the sound of the instrument was the most convincing one to me. Playing it in reality feels a lot different.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Agreed! Try as many as you can. Depending on your playing style, each one may suite you better. For me, integral is excellent because of the triads and chords availible, but depending on your style of playing, I can totally understand. Great tip! -Ricky

[@Simonsmukke]

Where do I get such a cool jacket? :D

[@aussiejeroen]

Waiting for my Rav, excited, but a bit apprehensive , what will it bring for me, will I be able to make it talk to me? Tip 5 is just great, yes, I will take the challenge and make this drum mine. Looking forward to the challenges ahead , thanks for your wonderful blogs and guidance

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Absolutely! Glad to help! If you are in need of some musical direction and help, would love to work with you in some lessons :) Always fun to be part of people's learning process :)

[@javiermelendez1253]

I really appreciate the very last tip about how there's no wrong way to play it and how we are the ones developing the "cultural heritage" for it. Thank you for that!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Agreed! Glad the point was well taken and thanks for watching!

[@teejaykaye4357]

I just got a low E pygmy drum (I prefer the lower sound range) and I've been wanting a drum like this for years now, I can't wait to start experimenting and playing it properly. The sound is so lovely and your advice seems very good, so I'll be sure to implement it while playing !

[@beardedskater3920]

Would love to know how to wrap the cord around the rim if you could help :)

[@ReWildYourSoul]

working on a video showing how to do it now!

[@rpisparischatzimichelakis3460]

Hello ReWildYourSoul! What is your name? I am a newcomer on the Rav vast family! I am very excited! By the way, at a video you made were you walked through the woods, you said that you are in Massachusetts. I have lived in Boston from 1998 till 2002. Miss Boston very very very much. Wonderful people, very kind and polite. Hope to hear from you.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Hey my friend! My name is Ricky. I am from mid/west Massachusetts. Such a lovely place, I am grateful for all the forest available for exploration! Glad you are joining the Rav Family ;) They are really kind people! Looking forward to hearing your creations! Ricky

[@rpisparischatzimichelakis3460]

Hello Ricky! Nice to meet you. The forests offer peace of mind and clean air. They play their own kind of music! So many sounds, so many different fragrances. Almost magical. It will take some time till i publicly show any composition of mine. I want it to be well structured and sincere. I need time to practice the technics of the Rav vast so i can produce a clean and sharp sound. I am really excited to be part of the Rav vast community-Family! Thank you Ricky.

[@rpisparischatzimichelakis3460]

By the way Ricky! In my hands i have right now a b celtic minor! But i have also ordered an arabian night, onoleo and E low pygmy. B celtic minor is just so imaginative and intuitive. It offers a lot of rhythmical pathways with a very distinctive and harmonious sound. Do you have any recommendations on recording equipment. I bought a nice rode microphone. The stereo video mic pro.

[@user-es1oc1mv8o]

I just ordered my G pygmy, told them to give you credit for it :D

[@ReWildYourSoul]

That was very kind of you. 🙏🌞 thanks so much! You will love it, the Pygmy scale is pure magic!- Ricky

[@derMaus0815]

How to knot this nice covering?

[@derMaus0815]

[@catherinelowry5194]

What scale were you playing? That info would be helpful. 😊✌️

[@addymaverick6407]

G pygmy

[@ReWildYourSoul]

correct!

[@skotkrake3947]

I just ordered a G pygmy :)

[@MrownXXV]

What is the song in your intro?

[@ReWildYourSoul]

One of mine! I have it up on my rewildyoursoul Bandcamp :) I will be using the full version in a coming video

[@TECHnoman753]

One thing about music is it's a form of art and it's that there's no "right" way to make art, I've learned that in the Furry fandom and it's true that there's only Technics and styles not to mention self-expression that makes it you being you, expensing your own creativity is the point of art and be free to be yourself kuz that's what makes you you. Mr. Rogers said it better tho lol ♥️

[@ReWildYourSoul]

haha , glad the point was well take :)
