This video is like a mini encyclopedia in hand drumming. Thanks Kalani for all the amazing insights. Am sure all beginners as well as experts alike will have been benefited from viewing it ! 😍😊

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thank you Sameer!

[@andrewcordle2424]

I love your detailed 1/1 informal approach to teaching and/or demonstrations in your videos. 🙏👍🤗 Your occasional humor cracks me up too 😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@belovedaam2343]

I have 2 cajones. One kids size & 1 full size. Love that I can sit on it as I play. Great for acoustic sets.

[@pbenson56fran]

I had a set of Bong Congos. But I gave them away. They just sat in my house. I was given a Djembe and just let it sit. After watching one of your videos I realized Paula you have that drum. I have been using them in my videos. I rehearse every week to get better. Thank you very much.

[@ashiquetarafdar4943]

You’re a legend Kalani

[@jerodcannon7881]

Thank you Kalani this video is very informative. I’ve had a set of congas for years now but have not had much playing time or practice time. I have a smaller djembe same story as the congas. I also have a darbuka. I’m looking forward to using your KZbin channel to learn how to play the instruments I have better. Thank you for doing what you are doing.

[@MobBarley00]

Thanks for all the great content.

[@blues61]

Fantastic summary of popular types hand drums and great advice on selecting an appropriate quality of drum to get started. I'm saving this video for future reference. Thanks Kalani.

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thanks Steve

[@Kianquenseda]

Perfect video for what I'm looking for

[@MrRudy6632]

Just watched your video. Very informative. I have a 12” PA meinl Conga I got on sale for $200 bucks. After listening to you: me pasó como el burro que tocó la flauta. I got the right instrument to begin slapping my first basic lessons. Gracias. I’ll look for some of your tutorials for beginners. Cool beans:)

[@Steve-hd5tn]

Love the shirt! Also great video-I will now stop calling everything “bongo” ✊

[@Hamman5]

Hey kalani! At home i have a cajon and a djembe, but i dont know what drum to get next. Im thinking either bongos or congas. Thanks for making awesome content!

[@douglasburleigh1204]

Hi, Thanks for your very informative explanation of the difference, pros and cons of the finger drums. I have a three year old grandson. My son and I want to start him on a drum. A hand/finger drum. Too early?

[@bonnieklapel1825]

Really appreciate all the explanations about each of these types of drums and which is better for someone just starting out and very helpful in deciding where and which one to start out with. Thank you so much!

[@MyMusicSosa]

This is a really really cool video, I really appreciate it man. Just for anyone that sees this, the plural of cajón is cajones NOT cajons

[@RanaRene2022]

Very enjoyable episode and what a fantastic shirt!

[@billtankersleystuff]

Thanks for posting this exceptional video! Very informative, very good. I really liked the "get the best you can afford" part (and so glad my wife saw it).😀 👍

[@leroque13]

Hey man, I really appreciated your video. You answered some of my questions and helped me to get a decision. I already have a bongo. Now I go for a cajon and later a bongo. On my list there is also a "pandeiro" and a "tamborim", but this is another story ;-). Thanks!!

[@haveyoueva.nevaeva]

Thank you so much, this video was just what I needed. Very informative and helpful ❤

[@markchindemi1438]

Fantastic job. It is very useful for someone interested in hand drumming

[@carolinefarrell9259]

As a music teacher, I want to study drumming to then present to my students. This video is perfect!

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Glad it’s helpful. There’s a lot to becoming familiar with drums and percussion.

[@sunrise77ful]

What a great introduction to hand drumming.. Have some massed produced congas but now want hand crafted 🙄The addiction is real!

[@Matt-iz8wf]

Djembe means (healing drum) in African. They believe that the vibration of the drum can heal people.

[@chattychatotchannel]

This video was just what I was looking for thank you :D

[@baileyhutman6978]

Very helpful. Thanks so much. Bailey

[@dltjdms]

very helpful overview. thank you.

[@doghouse010]

jesus I love this man

[@brendanskaggs]

Fantastic comparison.

[@Fran-pg2wy]

I've just bought 2nd hand Meinl bongos, waiting for them to arrive. I have never owned bongos before. I bought 2nd hand so then I could buy good quality brand for less money. I assumed they would also sound "worn in". Is that a thing? Like wearing in a pair of shoes? I don't know, I guessed.

[@japiro14]

I bought a cajon because I thought I might like it but I think the congas are my instrument. They're expeeeeensive though. But it really calls me

[@mariepleione]

I was looking for a comparison video but was a bit disappointed that you don't play on them

[@azmathahmed2476]

Which brand is best bongo drum

[@AnkothOfficial]

Cajon for kick and snare sounds + Djembe for everything else. You can actually stick a bass drum pedal onto cajons which I don't think you mentioned. Djembe and Cajon combo ftw (I also got to rehead my bongos for tom sounds).

[@aaronjames1742]

Much appreciated.

[@aquemeni1979]

Any suggestions on top notch rock hand drumming albums? I love the sound but I’m not coordinated enough to play.

[@richardervins]

Playing a regular drumset for 50 years now (and some 50+ common and exotic instruments) I decided to expand my possibilities further, so as an older guy I could do some advanced looping and recording and maybe use the instruments in an acoustic band. So I got a cajon, djembe, tabla, congas, and bongos. Well. 😁 Now I could write a series of books or do a 100 videos… 😝 My previous drumming experiences helped a little, but honestly not much. I finally managed to get something recordable out of the tablas, but that didn‘t help much with the congas. When I finally got a decent slap on the congas (the slap sound takes up the most practicing time), there was nothing I could have transferred to the bongos, even though they look very similar and I even use them together in a set today. To make a long story short: From what I experienced with the hand drums, it always pays to not try to transfer prior knowledge from other instruments to new instruments all by yourself or just KZbin counseling. Get a good teacher, like Kalani, and learn the basics for that individual instrument from him or her, even if you think that you already have enough experience. You don‘t, believe me. 😁 Once you‘ve established a more or less flawless and solid basis on an instrument, you need to define a reachable goal. With that you will see how miraculously the real fun part of playing that new instrument sets in. 🙂

Videos please

[@shatteredstiks7392]

Great hamd drum video

[@rikenakashganga7171]

Sir im from india. Just a beginner. And i just want to know how to differ conga and tumba with sound and appearance

[@dott.marvelli3899]

Darbuka is really badass hand drum, incredible.

[@whaleguy]

Are you talking of the Skin on Skin congas that you sold?

[@Kiki-cs]

Hi I just wanted to ask where u got ur djembe?

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Drumskull drums

[@Kiki-cs]

@@WORLDDRUMCLUB thanks i will probably buy one there. Do u recommend a particular djembe model?

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

@@Kiki-cs Everything they sell is good. Also check with Wula Drum.

[@Hithere-ek4qt]

What about the Ashiko?

[@davidmcaninch4714]

Bongos are actually a little bit heavier than they look, but you wouldn’t think it when you looked at them.

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

That's true.

[@davidmcaninch4714]

@@WORLDDRUMCLUB of course you covered that in the video, so I didn’t need to really mention it.

[@TheAlison1456]

chapters??

[@ioannisspanos326]

The "middle eastern" drum is also called tumberleki in Greek btw

[@Matt-iz8wf]

How do you know your djembe head is going bad
