Choosing a Rav Drum - Find the Best Scales for Beginners, Percussionists and Songwriters

**New Rav Album Lux Natura out now!!**
rewildyoursoul.hearnow.com/
Hello my Friends!
Join me today in a discussion that is imperative to the purchasing of a Rav Vast.
The scale you choose first, makes a big difference in the directions you head creatively and musically.
Here we will discuss and demo four amazing scales, that are a perfect place to start for first time players, and seasoned musicians alike.
These scales are, in my opinion, ones that provide the most melodic movement, and dynamic playing styles.
Have tried all the Rav scales currently available, I feel confident in these recommendations.
As stated in this video, these recommendations are only PART of the process. No matter which you are purchasing, making sure you feel connected to that scale, will allow even the trickiest of scales to work for you.
Follow your heart and ear!
Good luck on your Rav Journey and remember,
Rewildyoursoul

I have just discovered this absolutely beautiful instrument and it just blows me away. I am in the process of deciding and what you shared has helped me very much. Thankyou. I am 62yrs old and its a challenge to learn a new instrument and one I feel I'm up for. Thanks again for your guidance. Warm regs from Aus

Beautiful playing brother, thank you

[@jessieelms]

Grateful for you putting out this informative video. as I try to make a decision - this is extremely helpful

[@DoranMitchell_Handpan]

Well done my friend! Finding the scale one gravitates to was my starting point along with your guidance made selecting our first RAVs an easy choice. I seem to gravitate to the minor scales the most. Our Ravs are the best investment in instruments we have ever made! Not many instruments can hold up to every day playing like a RAV Vast can. Thanks!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Agreed brother! It has definitely changed my musical direction significantly! The choice of a scale is such a tough call so wanted to get a video mentioning my current thoughts, since all those reviews videos are years old now! 😂 Thanks for listening! 🙏

[@joshenders]

These are super helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge freely.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@sabralindgren1695]

Thank you - informative and inspiring!

[@LyubomirStoychev]

Thank you very much for this video! You really helped me chose my first Rav Vast ... I initially ordered the B Celtic Double Ding in 432 Hz ... however after some more listening I felt the B Kurd to genuinely touch my heart. I don't know what the reason is, perhaps because of being from Bulgaria and the more "eastern" vibe it has. So before they shipped it, I changed my order to the B Kurd. The thing you play on B Kurd in all your videos is awesome, I will definitely be trying to learn it from your video :) If I one day find spare money for another Rav it will definitely be the G Pygmy though... that scale just blows me away. It has very meditative sound.

[@clairekosmic]

oh wow i want both lol amazing playing btw and thank you for the reviews!

Hi, love your music. Please tell me the name of the color of the instrument that you're playing in this video. I do not like the dark mat blue which seems to be the only one I can find. I want to get it in the Celtic minor, and will gladly buy it through your link. Thank you

[@tjwin1481]

What does everyone feel the best is as I can’t pick and it’s going to be my first I love them all!

[@cpm9747]

What are your thoughts on the D Celtic Minor for a novice player with zero experience regarding percussive rhythms or melodic diads, triads, and progression/resolution? It's the scale I've had my eye on for the last year because of the mellower sound I feel like it has. Hoping to get one for Yule this year.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

It’s a lovely scale, all things said about the b Celtic, apply to the D. It just has smaller notes and it pitched a bit higher! The only deterrent I have heard is right some people, initially have a hard time with striking it. It is the same technique as the rest of the Rav family though, so should not take long to master 🙏🎶 Thanks for watching!

[@alexnicanovich3636]

ravtastic brother, thanks for another sterling video, b kurd is my 1st vast then a integral. any thoughts on mic pickups?

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Thanks my friend! Pickups are a tricky thing. There are a few handpan pickups that are magnetic that work, but I have not really encountered anything, aside from my friends custom made one for a snare stand, that I love! Will look around for some links for you.

[@thomaspiston3922]

Thank you for that helpful content. I wonder why no one mention the B major Rav Vast. It’s often all about the D major. I would love to see a comparison video B major and D major if possible, but also replying to this text would be much appreciated. Since the B major is deeper it seems to give a slightly different mood than the higher D major which sounds even more joyful. Would be great to get your opinion on the two scales. Thank you.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Hey there! I think it is lily because it was initially only made for a short time and I have never done a review of it back then for their channel or mine. I Would love to so if I get my hands on one! One of the other reasons is that they are producing so many scales with a B central note, people are looking for something different (though the B Celtic is only 2 note different from the D Major!) Have a great day my friend!

[@mayyabulgakova]

I'm not a musician, but I've been watching Ravvast videos for a few years. During the next weeks I will finally purchase one, I think it will improve a lot my mental health. I was so secure I wanted an Onoleo (been wanting an Onoleo for at least 3/4 years) but now listening you playing the B Celtic I'm not feeling so sure 😂 it's the first time I'm having doubts about this! You made me feel a connection with the B Celtic and I never felt it in the past! Till now only Onoleo resonated with my heart, now I'm having mixed feelings ahah

[@ReWildYourSoul]

If you resonate with it, get it! I say at the beginning and end, uLtimately, the scale best for you is 5 some you resonate with. I think feeling connected to it is the key 🔑 If you need help working with it to, would be happy to set up lessons when it arrives 😉🎶

@@ReWildYourSoul thank you so much for taking time to reply me 🙂 took the day to watch more Onoleo and B Celtic videos. I'll probably get Onoleo now and save for a B Celtic. I've been watching your videos to get more knowledge about how to play the Rav. They really help me a lot to understand how everything works. When I get mine, if I see I get stuck on it, I'll definitely contact you to see your availability for some lessons 🙂 thanks once again, have a great week. Sending good vibes from Portugal ✨

[@woodzieniles9072]

Exact same story with me. I love Irish music (Chieftons, etc), however, the music of my soul is Middle Eastern, Indian, and Progressive). I play Tabla, dumbec, berimbau, gongs, talking drums, etc. Now, after watching these videos, for my first pan, I can't decide. ..Any more help deciding would be very helpful.

@@woodzieniles9072 I ended buying the Onoleo and and couldn’t be happier with my choice! The sound of it it’s definitely the one I connect more

[@focal3drone803]

Do you think it is a good option to take a d Celtic minor instead b Celtic ?

[@nsmith3671]

Thanks for the great info! How long do they hold their tuning and how do you retune when needed?

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Good question! They are never out of tune ;) Ravs are primarily tuned via the size of the tongue. I have never needed to retune any of my Ravs, even after 6 years! that is one of the many great things about them!

[@agasalim5635]

Oh wow, thank you for the video. And I am so drawn to the B Celtic. Because I’ll be using it mainly for meditative purposes. Although, pardon me for the silly question, what is the difference between the Rav Vast (steel tongue drum was it?) and the Rav Pan / Hand Pan? And for the meditative purposes would you recommend the Vast or Pan?

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Hello Aga! Many people use the Rav for meditative playing. What most are looking for is a long sustain, and some handpans have this. The rav, however has especially warm and long lasting sound. Ravs are instruments that use cut tongues to make sound. Their size and weight determine the notes. Handpans are essentially Caribbean steel drums, turned upside down, that is compression of the tone fields to create sound. If you do go with either one, be in touch! I offer I lessons for people from beginners to advanced 🙏 Rewildyoursoulmusic @ gmail . Com is my email. Welcome to the journey!

I have a Quint Art D Celtic minor and I do find it really difficult to produce clear upper notes! What scale would you recommend to pair it with D Celtic minor? I would like to play with my son. Thanks!

[@SmartPhotoVault]

I appreciate your videos. ...Im looking at the G Pygmy, or the G Pygmy 432 Hz version. Im not sure how much diffrence this makes. Any advice please?

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Hey my friend. Montreal difference, other than being slightly lower pitched and not being able to play with most instruments. I love the story of 432hz tuning, but as a performer, prefer 440, as this is the standard tuning for all instruments. That said, if you like it, are interested in sound healing/ etc, 432 may be a good fit!

[@manuelballing6374]

Thank you for the comparison. I am interested in more meditative music and I am a music illiterate. Therefore I am searching for something very easy to begin with. Would you rather recommend the B Celtic or the G Pygmy? Thank you

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Those would be great choices! These instruments are really designed from someone to pick up and play with no experience. I mostly play by ear anyways, so if can be developed! 🙏

[@LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

I have a (very old, now) degree in music education but you have the advantage way over me in these instruments and these particular scales. It's exciting to learn about them. You have a sweet and clear personality in presenting them. Reminds me of "Donovan" from my seventies era. I am just venturing into playing tongue drums but yours is something even more etheral. Where would I buy a Rav drum? Do you have teaching videos?

[@VladK-1]

I believe most people prefer to order directly from the manufacturer RAV. Good communication and fast delivery. You can also ask for a discount. I didn't ask but on the next day they've noticed that I kept something in the cart (I've registered before). I was grateful and also ordered mallets and a bag-mallets proved very useful for us (total beginners) as hitting it with bare hands takes some skill and some effort (especially the smaller tongues), plus mallets certainly bring some variety.

[@VladK-1]

I wish I can post the link but KZbin automatically deletes the comment containing it. Just search for this instrument's name and you will find the official website. Only one company is making them.

[@VladK-1]

You can try using REWILD promocode on the checkout page to get some discount. I've just found it posted by Ricky (ReWildYourSoul) in his video description!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Really appreciative of the kind words :) Rav drums are often the least expensive from them directly! Ravvast . com is their site. There is also a link and my personal discount code, REWILD, for 10% off to, if you go that route. Its an amazing rabbit hole to jump down. Ravs and tongue drums in general still fascinate me after all these years! If you get one and are looking for lessons, be in touch. Would be great to work together to get you started!

[@Chaper0nr0uge]

Hi! Thank you for your video! I am hesitating between the B celtic and the B kurd.. I have played percussions for more than 10 years and I would like to use my rav vast for meditation and also during my yoga classes during savasana. Do you have more advices? Thanks a lot!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Yes, absolutely! I Think the B celtic is a great fit or yoga as well. The B kurd is more oriented towards songwriting, so it all depends on the objective. Both will work nicely, so definitely recommend picking the one between the two you resonate most with! Feel free to be in touch when you get one if you are in need of any lessons! :)

[@niaknows333]

What about the E Pygmy for a beginner? I gravitate toward lower pitch, Earth tones, and it was described as good for meditations and sound healing?

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Hey there! Yes it is a good place to start in terms of scale, just not a good percussion player instrument, because the notes are so resonant. For meditation and songwriting playing (like my music) it is perfect! Pretty much all the comments about the G Pygmy apply, as they are the same scale in a lower key! If you get one, feel free to use my 10% off at checkout if you want. The code is REWILD 🎶

[@waveriderz2687]

Am a professional percussionist and really like having options. Unfortunately it's quite difficult to own and transport a number of these pans and be as creative as I want to be? The long note resonance seems to require careful choices when playing in large band setting. It can fill quite a bit of space in a musical piece? I currently play recorded hang drum samples via percussion synthesizers. I can modify timbre, pitch, resonance, etc., however I often wonder what playing the real instrument would be like? Where I live there are rarely any handpans for me to audition. I've found a RamVast Pigmy I'll be able to audition in the near future. Your thoughts on how versatile it would be in a five piece band setting? Really appreciate the info provided in your videos. Thanks for sharing!!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

There are many synth options, but I perform professionally all over and usually carry 15 while traveling in a tiny car, so doable!

[@dommel2020]

I'm looking for a great scale for meditation and sound healing. I already own a handpan in D-Kurd but i love the RAV vAST. What would be a great addition to my handpan. I really don't want to get another D celtic since i already have the D kurd. What would you recommend as a beginner for meditation/yoga nidra? Thank you fr your advise. Also i'm in doubt about the 432 vs 440 hz .

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Hey there! I think G Pygmy or B celtic would be perfect! The D celtic Rav vast is a bit higher than the other scales, so I think meditative play is better suited to the B celtic. Would love to work together if you need any lessons on your journey! As for 432, I would honestly just go for 440. I like the theory behind it, but it makes playing with others more difficult, and for those with perfect pitch, such as myself, they just always sound out of tune haha. Best of luck!

[@dommel2020]

@@ReWildYourSoul thank you for helping me out on that regards. Made me doubt again as i'm truly a fan of the d celtic and that's what raV recommends for sound healing. Although the b celtic sounds very good as well

Glad they were impressive! I have about 100 other lessons in a playlist, if you are looking for something in particular! Check back a few weeks or a month and you will find lessons, this is not a lesson, but a conversation and demo of various playing styles. Thanks for the compliment, however! 🙏🎶
