These people that build instruments are on a whole other level.

[@ananas5048]

Comin for my mind

[@gismosfinalform2031]

Is that a jojo reference?

[@ananas5048]

@@gismosfinalform2031 yes

[@No-Voice-is-so-loud]

This is a native Indian drum - www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/501176

[@josiahtheblacksmith467]

@@No-Voice-is-so-loud the drum your link references has a skin drumhead like most drums do not a wooden one like this instrument has.

[@jaimeanderson5964]

Everybody's making fun of this and I understand that the simplicity is almost laughable. But listen to what he can do with it. I couldn't pick up "a box" and create that. Creating the rhythm with the middle finger over the whole like that really does make a difference. I think it's nice to listen to.

[@georgealderson4424]

I agree

[@dillangren7561]

Indeed

How to farm thumbs up on youtube -choose video -pretend that everybody's making fun of the videast even if 99% of the comments are actually positive, except for the occasional cunt -??? -profit

@@rickhapstley3866 this is the internet man, people use false acts of good to fill emotional holes in their lives, where did we go wrong

[@pak3ton]

You forgot you can scratch the borders and make other kind of sound. 0:55

[@icecold1805]

I am impressed of the huge ammount of sounds such a simple instrument can produce.

[@KeaLeonna]

Am I the only one who actually likes this instrument? Sure, it isn't the most advanced, but it makes a good beat and it well, is simple and you don't need to memorize a bunch of keys or strings to play it.

[@KeaLeonna]

Stop the hate! #TravoletteLivesMatter

[@saxyrep1]

No, I want one too.

[@TheMidnightModder]

I like my geetar but this is neat

[@sashank8717]

Simple, yes. Agreed. Learning to operate a whole lot of keys and strings? Needs skill and a good ear.

[@MizzzKitty]

I think its super great as well...😊

[@inuyashamaru4738]

hey! I'm from Brazil and I say that this would make the biggest "SAMBA"

[@americanpercussioninstruments]

COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephandell8634]

Sou brasileiro tbm, mas pra tu falar isso, é sinal que não conhece mto sobre percussão. Ainda mais no Samba. Claro que não existe um limite de diferentes tipos de percussão, mas esse mesmo tipo de som é produzido por vários tipos de tambores e tamborins que usamos no dia a dia no BR. Seja no carnaval ou até na roda de capoeira.

[@NathanMargaglio]

At first I was like, "What is this old guy doin tappin a piece of wood." Then he broke it down, and I was impressed.

[@stephenviterbo1351]

This guy's sense of rhythm is the real instrument 👍

[@randyduncan4004]

The guy SHARES his creation, AND more things to play with musically. HIGH FIVE. I THINK the idea IS GRRRRREAT. but I would make it another 50 % larger. Just my dos centavos.

[@constablebentonfraser5014]

Fuck ur dinero español pilgrim

@Doble T matutino 420 Shut up dora

[@basilisks]

Everybody shut up

[@s0lar.jpg_]

I'd probably add another hole

[@Boefkick]

sounds cool! it reminds me of Super Mario World's soundtrack while riding Yoshi and some old Crash Bandicoot levels' soundtrack

[@mattildahubbardo]

[@UncleChase25]

KZbin has a weird recommendation algorithm, this video 11 years old

[@Moodymongul]

this is the same as tapping your cheeks to a rhythm and opening/closing you mouth/lips to create different pitches. The only difference ..the Travolette doesn't make your cheeks turn red ;-)

[@Momo-cu7xl]

as well as it being louder, sounding alot less slappier, and having grooves on the side to produce a guiro like sound.

[@Josuh]

which cheeks tho 😳

[@user-se8nh3yu1e]

@@Josuh haha funny dude 👍🏼

[@Axacqk]

But saying "travolette" out loud does.

[@KelseyJayMusic]

Its amazes me how music can be made on circular piece of wood. So cool.

[@TheJoshinator1]

You have NO idea how much practice something like that takes...

[@penguindrum264]

Love that you can control the pitch and how portable it is.

[@americanpercussioninstruments]

Thank You, Ken

[@aashish12]

If its 10+ year old its definitely gold

[@americanpercussioninstruments]

I make American Percussion for kids also/Ken

[@reillywalker195]

I don't know why this is in my KZbin recommendations 11 years after publishing, but I like it.

[@userb8a]

That's basically 1/3 of an ukulele.... I love it.

[@pietravanderlinden2690]

I like it. Great beat and seems stress relieving. You can even take it everywhere. Thank you. God bless

[@macschomo]

A must have.

[@StoneMane]

Now we just need a cover of Bleed with this

[@kevinsantiago9079]

Bro I thought the same thing!!!

[@Harmonic_shift]

Amazing. It’s almost like a water droplet snare. Really cool!

[@americanpercussioninstruments]

Thank You Kyler !

[@depfordbusinesscoaching2212]

Absolute genius! Percussion is imagination + performance skill.

[@penelopehammerton2907]

Some people are so talented being able to create music, be it a simple wooden box, a wash board or bottles of filled with water. I struggle to play the flute and the recorder. I wish you joy :)

[@americanpercussioninstruments]

thank you

[@denicebolante6291]

Tapping on it... So satisfying

[@americanpercussioninstruments]

a lot of fun !!!!!

[@ChrisDeJuanMusic]

Awesome creative work! I play guitar, bass and a bit of percussion...and really want to get in to building my own percussion instruments... Thanks for posting this!

[@adventureswithibrahim]

Did you end up doing it?

[@sazcxieo]

The man made melody with it is what amazes me rather than the instrument itself.

[@milosg5217]

This is awesome!

[@UtmostGrace]

This is great!!wow

[@CarpeMetus]

This is one of those anyone can pick it up and play it, but it would take a life time to master all the techniques and bring them together into a cohesive symphony type instruments.

[@bonbondolly]

OH man this is brilliant! I want one!!

[@davehorner186]

What a cool sound! Well done, Ken!

[@treyc9566]

I was expecting to see the square travolette and am surprisingly impressed!! :)

[@farshimelt]

The Portuguese make one.

[@colddrake80]

That's a cute little instrument. It's kind of hard to believe something like this wasn't invented thousands of years ago.

[@TheJoshinator1]

I know, but it certainly doesn't just come to you automatically. You've got to have a sense of rhythm and good control of your hands and fingers.

[@KimberleyStonemusic]

I love it. I want some, now.

[@DjOscar98]

That's fantastic ^^

[@merlecherylmiller9966]

Awesome sound!!

[@Marcus538]

Thats so good , I saw this thought "uurgh whats that?" And what a surprise buying one

[@claudiosantanna4174]

Muito bom. Lembra um tamborim brasileiro, porém, feito de madeira

[@gibsongrrrl]

AWESOME!

[@megamaniscoolrightguys2749]

Makes a fantastic sound for video game background music. I hope KZbin makes this little instrument popular 😊

[@johnnandy3293]

I liked your video. Your Travolette music reminded me of the Japanese music that accompanies Kabuki theatre.

[@magicdudegary]

Beautiful man...what an awesome instrument!

[@americanpercussioninstruments]

Thank You, Ken

[@cloudspinner]

I love this sound

[@EarlLedden]

There are always people who dislike someone sharing something interesting.. My rule of thumb is up to 10% dislikes is meaningless. Here is a new instrument , completely portable and fun to fool around on . Wish I had one.

Ou ... this is wery beautiful...

[@americanpercussioninstruments]

[@ems7623]

Okay. This one is effectively a flexible-tuning temple block with hand drumming possibilities. But the sound is more mellow in timbre than a temple block. This one is original.

my friends were scared and exited the vehicle when i played the drum riff to fire , hendrix song in the 1970s. the cars dashboard was my travolette and the snare sound was a ludwig supraphonic sound that was amazing. the high decibels drove them to the curve. and i cant say that i blame them.
