This is the FINAL video in my 3 part series. Please click below for Part 1 and Part 2

• 7 Tongue Drums 6 SCALE...
In this video I go into detail about each of the drums ( who makes them, where they are made, how much , how they sound and at the end the bags that come with them)
I have other drums and I do love them all. They are all different prices and sounds and have a special quality and suit different moods.
I hope you enjoy the video If you like my music and videos please like subscribe, share and comment. It is very much appreciated Also I have started to add music to my Spotify account so if you can please head over there and put me on some of your playlists. My 3 albums of NA flute music can be very relaxing!! but I have some new ambient tracks I'm uploading which include tongue drum , synths guitars and the like! Here is the link: open.spotify.com/artist/2OnYs...
Thank you and be safe,

I am exploring drums and I really enjoyed this video. You gave a great balance of facts and perspectives. You are also really enjoyable to listen to.

[@dennisdesormier6886]

I am on the fence between a Rav Vast B Kurd and Nova Pan D Kurd. The Rav is from Russia, and writing this in winter 2022, I don't know what the maker's views are and he might not be able to state them safely, so I am a little hesitant right now. The Nova Pan drums is less "articulate" to me, and I also wish it was pitched lower, say, B, as the upper couple notes are a little pinched. My guess is that different mallets or even gloves might give me the more articulated sound I want, though.

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

Hi there thanks so much for your kind comments. I think both drums you mention are great. I only have the Rav not the Nova but have heard good things about them. As far as Russia etc. I know the maker did a video that said they no way condone what is happening and in fact find it appealing. They said they are still shipping etc but I understand your concern Good luck

Hi! I was wondering if you by any chance if you knew what the difference between the 12” Idiopan domino pro and the 14” dominus by Idiopan?

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

Funny that you ask me that because I’ve had the dominus for years and just this week I added a domina. The difference so far is the size and amount of tongue however I just read that you added pro. I think the pro has more tongues and the base key is different. The base key of the one I just got is G major and the dominus is a different Key Also my domina is tuned pentatonic. C pentatonic I hope that helps. I really like both and am enjoying the portable aspect of the domina since the dominus is much bigger and a lot heavier Good luck !!

@@MariaCalfaDePaul so the difference is just the amount of tongues? I’m looking for my first drum. I seem drawn to Idiopan and have found a few decent sales. But not sure which to go for.

[@Vibedrums-usa]

Was watching this video and there seems to be some confusion as to what is stainless steel and what is not...also a bit on what stays in tune and what does not. Stainless Steel is non-ferrous thus magnets don't work on stainless...so if the drum is regular steel a magnet sticks to it...if it is stainless it does not. Second...the drums made of thin regular steel will go out of tune over a period of time as everytime you strike the note it stresses the steel across the bottom of the note and since regular steel has a lower tensile strength than Stainless over time it will go out of tune...always low...that is it will decrease in frequency....just FYI...vernon

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

Ah that's great to know. I guess when these cheaper drums are advertised they just put out "stainless steel" as a blanket statement. And yes funny thing I noticed is that some of them are not magnetic. Actually I think in this bunch one the 13 inch green one didn't work. And that is also interesting about the tuning. I have noticed that my Rav has stayed pretty spot on and I've had them over 4 years. Same with the Zenko and the Guda pretty accurate. The idiopan is strictly tuned with magnets and the two Hluru I have no clue about However I don't own the big purple one any more so I don't know what will happen over time. That's very good info to have. Thank you. The one thing that I do like about the Hluru drums is that they sound way way better than some of the Chinese ones that I have played and I think if it like my first guitar. It was a very difficult to play Yamaha made in Japan actually (as was the case in the mid 1970's ) and my dad got it free with trading in his cigar bands (thank God he quit smoking in his 40's or he would never have lived to 94) anyway it was an awful guitar but my point is that it sparked an interest that has become a lifelong obsession that I never would have been able to spark otherwise as money was tight. So in actuality these less expensive drums can lead to the more beautiful drums such as yours. Oh by the way I recorded this video a month before I got my vibe drum or it would have been named as one of My favorites lol. I only recently released it because after Bailey died it took me some time to get motivated. 💔 Thanks for the clarification. And one day I hope to add a mini vibe :)

@@MariaCalfaDePaul There are doorbells that sound somewhat like the sounds you are making.

Ugh if I was good with tongue drums or hang drums I'll apply as a Amazon associate.😬

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

I'm not an Amazon associate :)

[@karenjones2655]

Do you give lessons?

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

Awe. I am self taught so not at the moment. Thank you for asking. 🥰

Sadly, I don't really like the sound of the chinese ones. Idk its too "tinny" or "metallic", not so mellow and deep.

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

It's funny before I started to play them I felt the same way I would call it "tanky" but I have changed my mind on these in particular I think especially with the mallets they can be quite soothing and beautiful I guess that's what makes the world go round I find that the ones like these are fun too because they have so many notes. I have begun to use the book of Chinese songs and I really like the way they sound with mallets When I have recorded the video I hope you can take a listen . Let me know what you think If you subscribe and hit the bell notification it will tell you when I have uploaded new videos Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😊

I wonder how the Ukraine guy is doing. 💖😔

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

Yes he’s doing well. I believe he temporarily moved to Poland with his family. 💕

@@MariaCalfaDePaul thank you for replying. I love your detailed video.

Sorry, but these are as good as real advanced instruments. They are often mass produced and generic and they sound too similar to each other. Not sure what’s special about the style of tongue drums specifically. Why not any and all percussion?

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

Hmm you didn't hear any difference between them? I find the Rav has probably the most special sound. If you can check out the other videos where I do a more extensive playing on each I think you are correct in that many are mass produced but at least 3 of the 7 here were not and in most are hand tuned. I'm not an expert I just love the way they sound and make me feel when I'm playing them I hope you can check some of my other videos out and perhaps you may change your mind a little However it's okay we are all entitled to our own opinion and I guess that's what makes the world go round :) thanks for taking the time to watch the whole video :)

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

@@dwarkamohni2442 In the video I tell the average cost of the ones I show and also where to buy them The more expensive ones are usually bought from the artisan who makes them but the others were purchased on Amazon It's a very personal decision so it's hard for be to tell you the exact one that is right for you but I have a whole playlist dedicated tongue drums if you want to look at them I will try and get you the link
