[@Shadewalkin]

as someone that has been playing a handpan for a decade now. the humble man will never say he is a professional... cuz we are our harshest critic... but after smashing this performance man. you're more than a professional. you're an inspiration. this was nothing short of immaculate. never stop playing this instrument. not everyone can. thank you. from one drummer to another.

[@coalblooded]

I couldn't keep a beat in a zoo, so I'm envious of all musicians lol

[@gutterg0d]

It's nonsense. He's making money of his performance, doesn't get more professional than that...

[@Richard97402]

​@gutterg0d he's not though. It's copyywritted material. If money is made, it goes to the person who owns the rights. In this case SOAD, their studio, or whoever owns the song. If he made money from it, it would be illegal. That's why he pushes his classes and merch.... where he can make money.

[@gutterg0d]

@@Richard97402 Patreon and affiliate links generate very real income even if the videos would happen to be demonitized. Even disregarding all that, doing things for promotional purposes is also professional work. Being a professional just means you're doing it to make a living. The only argument against him being a professional in this case is that he's not regularly making money of the handpan, which while I don't entirely agree with it, is an opinion I don't have a problem to accept.

[@chirpydragonfruit9464]

Not all ppl who charge for a performance are "professionals" buddy... it's used here in reference to the skill level of the musician, irregardless of money made or not made. There's always that one person in the comments who's gotta ruin a perfectly good compliment, isn't there 🙄

[@beff1991]

Never has System of a Down sounded so peaceful 😮

[@darkin1484]

As someone who knows the original and several remixes. This one is just a completely mesmerising variation. Never heard of anyone play it on a handpan but its amazing. I fall asleep to it for a few weeks now. Its so calming, like a melody over a dream river.

[@MrGrunter0]

As someone who is a huge fan of the original song, this is a beautiful contrast. You can clearly hear the connection to the original, it's still gripping but it's extremely mellow, relaxing and inviting yet still has the obvious link to its heavy metal counterpart. Outstanding.

This actually sounds amazing. Perhaps a second hand pan to expand your arsenal of notes in the next cover? Keep it up bro

[@ElEsteparioSiberiano]

That's a good idea!

[@TheApc95uk]

See if you can make a mount to hang a smaller pan about 1 cm above the big one. It would look cool as fuck

[@manracmolactrac]

I've seen guys with two pans a semitone apart that gets the job done with usually only one doubled note. If you have a DM and Eb minor pan you will like have two F's but other than that I'm pretty sure it's the most effective way to play chromatically on these.

it's because they sound similar to the mandala pads used by Danny, who is also quiet profecient on the Tabla.
