Hang/Handpan vs. RAV Drum Comparison

[@keithamos6992]

Everyone has their preferences. Personally, I like the sound of the RAV better. One thing not mentioned in the video is you sometimes have to be careful if playing a handpan in a sunny area. As the metal heats up it expands and can throw the instrument out of tune ( till it cools back down ). With a RAV you really don't have to worry about it ever going out of tune.. Just something to consider

[@RababaInc]

what about rust formation or bending the tongues?

[@Iyana]

I think I prefer the RAV as well. To me it sounds very relaxing and just as beautiful! Also the fact that it doesn't need to be tuned was a bonus in my head, especially after watching how handpans have to be tuned.

[@RikthDcruze]

the Hang Drum looks like an Indian Dhal Shield... for people not into weapons: It is a playable UFO

[@jimmypage1969]

Do i have to have dreads to play one of these? Seems to be an ongoing theme

[@trubb225]

They grow out when you start playing. And when your dreads are at perfect length, you have mastered the instrument.

[@albertdaniel712]

That’s the minimum requirement. The true masters have dreads, man bun, beard, bare feet, nose ring, tattoos and an OM t-shirt.

[@irplane]

They often form on their own due to neglect/poor hygiene...

if you grow them out long enough you can use them as mallets for your handpan

[@dam1371]

I get the rav's idea but the handpan to me has such a more natural sound than the almost mechanical sound to the rav. Even the overtones still don't resonate naturally like the hand pan does. The handpan has a smoother sound to me all together.

[@markuspeitl]

If you play a RAV less like a drum and more like you would play on a piano, hitting it with only the flesh of your fingertips and mainly on the end of the steel tongues the sound can be much more smooth and natural than demonstrated in this video where it is played more percussively. It also really depends on the model and series, when i compare the older RAV models in the same scale with newer ones they do sound very different and have other sound properties (i think the metallic sound is'nt as noticeable in newer models). I do like both though. In my opinion handpans have these deep hard hitting resonance on the root note to them and RAVs have this watery long slow buildup of resonance.

[@choschiba]

Thank you so much for talking about the RAV. I also own the Pentatonic scale. I have rheumatoid arthritis. So I will order a set of their mallets. I’ve tried without but I don’t have enough strength in my hands.

[@MG-vo7is]

My impressions ... the handpan is like Indian music, and the RAV Vast is like Japanese music. I would buy both if I had the money.

[@billwesley]

The hand pan sounds more nuanced, inharmonic, dissonant percussive and exotic, the totality of the effect is haunting, The tonged pan sounds more direct, harmonic, consonant, sustained and familiar, the totality of the effect is restful. The first is better for the spirit of exploration and adventure, the second is best for a spirit of comfort and safety. I would switch between both as needed depending on mood.

[@kingofallworlds]

I'm afraid you might be confusing the key with the instrument's capabilities. The hang drum is in D minor which accounts for lots of what you said

[@didgeproject]

A handpan would suit you better than a rav drum because a handpan you can hit anywhere and get a sound

[@erinlacharity8674]

Oh, ok. I like the handpan but it's definitely more deadened in sound than the Rav Vast drum. Or do you know of any handpans that have more sustain like the rav drum? I like the idea of playing this instrument with your hands and getting such a rich beautiful long sound!@@didgeproject

[@CanisDei]

I still prefer Hang pan to Hav drum. Even though there’s shorter resonance in hang pan, it makes us feel immersed within it. The lengthy resonance of Hav drum didn’t actually create a better impact than the Hang pan.

Love the way you approach the instruments. And you play beautifully. I’ve got a Bali steel pan and a tank drum (made from a propane tank with notes cut into it).

[@EarlyMist]

Awesome, I'd have to lean toward the Rav style of drum. I bought a 12inch 'tank' / steel drum off Bangood or Aliexpress for my Nephew for Christmas and I fell in love and ordered myself one. Just cheapies...well $200 Australian cheap but sounds magical. Best played with the included rubber ended hammers. Easy enough for a 2 year old....easy enough for my 40 yr old arse! 😀

The handpan seems to be derived from the Caribbean steal drums. They both have close to the same manufacturing style other then the handpan is curves up while the steal durm curves in words, and of course the handpan is played with the hands while the steal drum is played with drumsticks. But all three, the handpan, steal drum, and RAV are cool instruments.

Yes, the handpans require regular maintenance tuning if they are played with force.

The RAV Drums almost always stay in tune except for in the case of extreme force being applied. Cheers!
