Handpan Lessons: Fast Rolls [in 5 steps]

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Welcome to my new weekly video series. Please leave any feedback about what you like and what you don't. If you are curious about any particular subject around the handpan, let me know as well and maybe I'll make a video about it. :)

[@dav5580]

Excited for this series, David! Thank you for passing down the knowledge. Could you please make a tutorial sometime about how to do this roll technique in the beginning of Kabe's video? It looks like some variation of split hand-- I'd really enjoy some exercises to practice this :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnSof6SNqNVon9E

[@j.k.terrell8034]

Excellent production & quality. I learned more from this one lesson than a multitude of others. Thank you.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks a lot! 🙏

[@MollyTheMoonchild]

You're an excellent teacher and musician.. Thank you so much for this 🙏

[@corwyn]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial ! i wish all handpans tutorials on youtube were like that!

[@louiscarrillo5873]

David you are an equally amazing instructor as player. ive used the principals that you present here not only on my precisely tuned percussion but on drumset. your lesson puts it all together in a clear and concise system.a clear musical path. thank you :) !

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks for your kind words Louis! 🙏 You are right, all these principles can be played to lots of percussive instruments. Glad the videos work out for you! ;)

[@robbiewalsh3373]

That is SAVAGE!! Thanks, man!

[@sirnorbo]

Short. Solid. Sharp. Perfect! Thank you very much. I've been using your online lessons for a year. And you helped a lot with this video. Great job. I can't wait for the next video! :)

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Excellent. Glad to hear that the lessons and this video are working well for you! 👍

[@whalesong813]

You're and an incredible muscian and a gifted teacher. This is difficult for me, I am getting better though. Thank you

[@alyzenmoonshadow1838]

Thank you, this couldn't have come at a better time! 👍

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome!

[@Treitors]

Hi, David! My name is Sidnei and I´m from Brazil! I´d already paid a ordered handpan and selecting websites or channels that would help to understand how the handpan´s work. Your channel is the online one I could think in the first place. Once I found it, never made another search about handpan! Tks, man!

[@frankdelp508]

Echt genial, ich mach da noch das Handpandojo dazu, irgendwann verbindet sich alles und es flowt, da er ähnliche oder die gleichen Rhytmen auf verschiedene Techniken anwendet. Das lässt sich dann einfach auf andere Rhymten übertragen. I LOVE IT. Danke an David!!! LG Frank

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Na das hör ich doch gerne 👍

[@norochmusic]

loving watching your videos in preparation for my handpan arriving, also saw Tim's video recommending you, i have been playing GUDA for over a year and finally managed to buy a handpan, hopefully i can soak in all this knowledge, thanks for sharing

[@Juliane.Mangold]

Hey David, a new quality of tutorial, wow! The notations help so much👍💞👍

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks Juliane! I tried lots of different approaches with the notation and landed on this one. It's quite time-intense, especially with the animations, but I also figured that it's worth it.

[@LarryGindhart]

Wow. Love this. My first encounter with your lessons. Makes sense. Practicing. Back again soon. Thank you!!

[@blackberrybunny]

Achh, you know you are just showing off! LOL! Truly, your music is beautiful. I am a beginner. A very beginning beginner, haha. I hope one day to achieve your skill, techniques, and speed! Deine Musik ist Wunderbar! I am a new subscriber now too, btw. Looking forward to tomorrow's (Friday's) video. Anything for us truly newbie newbies. I know, I know, we are WAYYYYY behind you. But seriously, I just got my first handpan, my first drum ever. I'm 55. I just lost my Mom, my everything, and I have nothing to do now, but time on my hands, and I'm hoping to learn this new hobby, hopefully, it can help me meditate too, to grieve...... Thank you.

[@pinguinbm]

Please do not stop posting these!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

😁I'll do my best!

[@yelizarymakouski6485]

David, it's amazing! Clear explanation and demonstration of how to use exercises in musical context - such approach and your smile inspire to take the instrument and start practicing right now :) Thank you for that lesson (and forthcoming ones)!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

that’s wonderful to hear! Those are exactly the things I was aiming for, awesome that it’s working like that for you!

[@innersim]

YES!! DAVID IS BACK!!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

:D

[@nanryan108]

I appreciate these lessons so much! Am taking it slow, but am improving a little more with each day. Love your advice and clarity! Thanks, David!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome Nan, thanks! Glad to hear it about your progress!

[@newgabe09]

I come here to learn. After a few minutes think ,yep , Ok, I can practice that. By the end I'm just open mouthed. Such clarity!! Beautiful work, David I could listen to you all day. But maybe better go actually practice :)

[@thisall4real]

This is going to be of great help to me as a new HP player. Thank you a lot David Kuckherman.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

That's great to hear, all the best for your handpan journey!

[@learningworshippiano7229]

Awesome lesson - thanks from a beginner. This will definitely help me with practice. Most appreciated.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome, that's great to hear!

[@Aylon5D]

Huge. As a proud owner of your dvd's i greatly appreciate this even more superbly done new lessons. Danke!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome, thanks Aylon!

[@pouyamohtat8132]

very clear video with good exercises to work our way to a perfect technique. thank you. can you make a similar video for the double stroke roll where you do the exact thing only with one hand... specially how to use the pointer and middle fingers to do a roll? my finger strength and timing is horrible. I tried doing it slow and ramping it up but i'm having difficulty.

[@sanchazer]

This was awesome! Makes me want to pick up my handpan again after months of not playing it!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Perfect! I hope you had a great practice session!

[@subobo4719]

This video is incredibly helpfull!! Thanks so much!!! Being a beginner...I still lack ideas of good transitions from one pattern or rhythm to another to build up a complete composition. Maybe you could make a video on that. In any case.......make more of it!! I'll be there to watch them all!!! :-))))

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Glad to hear that the video works well for you! One of the upcoming videos will be about how to develop a short phrase into a little composition, that one should be helpful in regards to your question. CU around!

[@RodrigoOliveira-ym8bv]

Amazing tutorial David, very handy for all levels, thanks for sharing 😘

[@cristinagps]

Amazing! So fun and sounds so good! Thanks for the build up to the composition.. this is why I love your courses... thank you!

[@alexaszlavics]

Hi David! Thank you for your video tutorials! I am a beginner, and you help me to practice and learn to play on this fantastic instrument. Sometimes I have a little difficult because my handpan is E minor and not same as your instrument in videos. But is not big problem. Many thanks for your help and teaching! I practice and practice and practice... :)

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Hey Alexa, you're very welcome. I understand the difficulty, it's one of the tricky parts of creating tutorials for handpans, everyone plays on a different scale. :)

[@Mrdegelder]

Thank you so much David, it's really nice to help us, grateful

[@DavidKuckhermann]

🙏

[@jamescassidy3995]

Handpan sounds lovely. Beautifully in tune. Killer precise playing dude 🖤✨

[@DavidKuckhermann]

thanks mate, even though my timing is off when I demonstrate the exercise leading with the left... what can we do, we are not robots ;) The tuning stability on these is ridiculous, I don't remember this one needed a retune.

[@huitzilangunzen6492]

Gracias mea yudan mucho las clases son fáciles de comprender. Ojala pronto obtenga un Handpan para practicar.pero yo practico con una olla de cosina😜gracias gracias 🙏

So very helpful and great tutorial.. Thank you David for your great videos :)

[@paolocaporossi]

simply great David!! it is not easy but with a lot of practice we can get great satisfaction from this exercise, thank you very much!

[@janmoling1836]

Wow thank you so much!! Looking forward for more! :) I would love to learn how to properly trigger the overtones on the handpan.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Noted. It will be covered in a future video.

[@steveelam4810]

Helps to practice these rudiments, I'm always going straight to musical,trying to create a piece instead of this practice, good discipline. Harmonic activation of notes would be a good topic for you,thanks again

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks for the suggestion, it's on the to-do list! When I practice, I usually reserve a certain time for technical exercises and some time for musical experimentation/improvisation/composing as well, for me it always worked well that way and I could look forward to the free part while I was doing my exercises ;).

[@pavelg1403]

@@DavidKuckhermann thanks for your new videos! they're great! I'm very new in the music world. Sometimes I just practice some very basic technical thing. And after some time being in the flow I somehow creates a more complicated and nice peace of music without having any intention to improvise or create something. May be it is what you mean :)

[@onetofree]

Thank you David!

[@MARCELLO6859]

Very good tutorial, thank you bro!

Fabulous. I must buy a drum. I want to add vocals and adapt a few "Rainbow Family" circle songs as I drum. Love, love and more LOVE!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Always a good idea to get a drum! ;)

[@lecosmique]

Great video and fine work on the graphics! They really help with understanding the content.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks lecosmique, I did a lot of experimenting with it and it’s great to hear that it fulfills it’s purpose well!

[@WhiteLightning108]

Great lesson. I will get to work on these rolls.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome, let me know how it goes!

[@kalealee3675]

David, I would be nice if you can make a video about “nice sounding phrases” so we can accumulate and practise how to speaker fluently in handpan! Thank you!

[@stefanschwarzffm]

Brilliant Work. Great Format ... challenging but this is good cause I like to learn. And with this new structure is it easy to understand and follow. Also good that there is room for practicing till the next Episode comes up. Keep going. Take good care. Thanks and Cheers ... Stefan.

Hello David Kuckhermann, I found your channel today and finely a good place to learn things around the Handpan🙏😀 What program are you adjusting to Sound in? Is it Reaper?

[@DavidKuckhermann]

I use Presonus studio one

[@kinaost]

I love this! Do you see any big differences between handpan and RAV when following this tutorial? I have a RAV and I’m trying to learn.

For this particular lesson, you should be able to transfer the exercises without problems. 👍
