Handpan Lessons: Exploring 7/8 - Part 1

[@corwyn]

I'm glad you released the video, it's good to see that some things don't get cancelled! And furthermore, with the time we will spend at home, having things to practice is great :-) thank you for the video

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Yea, we all have more time to practice than usual. I was supposed to go on tour for 2 months, but everything got cancelled (of course and rightfully so). Home sweet home ;)

Hello David, I'm moving to a new apartment next month and I'm hoping to build shelving to store/display all my hand drums. I love the way you have all your drums displayed in this room! It would be awesome if you could do a video showing how the display shelves are built/setup and everything stored on them. :-)

[@MARCELLO6859]

Thank you David for yours friendly words... and thanks for share your handpan experience too.

[@lajeanette33]

Just to let you know, your video was a nice break in that madness! Cheers from Switzerland :)

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome, glad you liked it Morgane! Crazy times indeed!

[@jefflistner4516]

I just stumbled onto your videos and need to send you the hugest "thank you" for bringing so much to the community! Excellent, digestible lessons with something for all ability levels. Keep up the great work!!

[@slaffsla]

Handpan seems to be the perfect tool for fighting a pandemic. :) It’s wise to make music trying to stay home anyway. Great you choose to continue educating and concentrate on the good stuff.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

thanks man. Couldn't agree more! It's also a way to stay connected in alternative ways while being home ;)

[@subobo4719]

What a good one again!!! And well explained!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@DoranMitchell_Handpan]

Well done my friend. Thanks! Be safe Brother.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

It would be amazing if you do some vlog stuff too. We all are interested in knowing more about yourself😉♥️🙏

[@DavidKuckhermann]

I'll think about that ;)

[@tasim1]

Really enjoying your series. The supporting stuff through Patreon is so useful.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

That's great to hear. The notations for this episode will go up for the latest tomorrow!

[@YahyaKhorsandi]

Dear David thanks for your video ❤❤❤❤❤

[@shaktiveda7041]

I found the handpan drum great for meditation and just over all relaxation...it's a great way to stay connected with the actual sound of creation.

[@chrisb7402]

David. Thank you for a sensible and sensitive opening comments. For performers and artists, there is so many events cancelled. If you can afford it, try to support David with a Patreon subscription - even $5 euro for a few months is our way to show gratitude in this difficult time. We are grateful.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks Chris for your considerate and supporting words!

[@readerenergy]

Once again David, another very nice lesson. Easy to follow, and a nice little jam once you get it down. As well as possibilities to expand it. Thanks again. And of course, the best place to put your attention, to have the kind of days we all desire.

[@andreasmartin8340]

Wir lieben dich David! Gleichfalls...Weiter so! Dir und deiner Familie auch alle Gute!

Thanks David ... timely after increases in Australia... settled me with my favourite seven...new twist and some new patterns....virus blues...Handpans have at their hearts...gentle compassionate souls around the world....you are one...be safe..be well...🎵🎶

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks Phil, Yea, we all got the virus blues... music is a good way to deal with it!

[@ranjitkumarroy3662]

Really you are best teacher.

[@tubular167]

Fantastic...I love 7/8..very musical.great lesson..guru 🎵✔️✔️🎵🎵✔️✔️..not sure if I should buy a hangpan. Or a steel tongue drum..can the pan be knocked out of tune...?only ask as they are very expensive..thanks David. ...great work on All your hand drumming videos.. so inspirational 🥁🥁😁😁👏👏👏

[@tubular167]

@@cubicfilms3200 thanks for responding..I am leaning towards the Rav. As I love the sound and they stay in tune better. Hang pan is amazing sound. More. Natural..I feel...very expensive..as they take ages to make..so understandable...🥁😁😁

[@DoranMitchell_Handpan]

You can't go wrong with a RAV Vast. They are a durable instrument. I have played my RAV drums almost every day for almost 2 years, sometimes hours a day. They sound great every time. I love applying what David teaches to my RAVs. Handpan is on the bucket list. Both are great instruments.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

A Rav Vast is a nice alternative. It's less sensitive and not as expensive. But it is a different kind of instrument and in the end I'd go after which sound you prefer. Good handpans are available from 1200 EUR these days.

[@tubular167]

@@DavidKuckhermann thank you for response...I will be following your channel with my new drum as I also followed all your brilliant hand drum lessons..massive respect for your experience and superb style😁😁🥁🥁👏👏

Well said in your intro, David. Music makes the heart beat to the rhythm of life. Thanks for the lesson. Stay safe! 🙏

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks Joel, couldn't agree more!

please, make some udu lessons too!

[@Juliane.Mangold]

IT is the Best to Do these days, Danke David😘🎶😁!!!

[@guillermoperez2999]

Thank you teacher for such valuable videos ... I am happy because now I can learn to play this wonderful instrument, God bless you today and always ... I am from Colombia and this instrument makes me fall in love much more every day.

[@craigduplooy2830]

Hi David, thank you for your video's, they are super informative. I have a 8 tone handpan and not a 9 tone. Do you perhaps know where I can get an image of the tones for an 8 tone hand pan?

[@Psalmist374DKR]

Just was able to order one from Amazon made by gdrasuya... All I could afford, but got the insurance just in case... Any familiarity with the manufacturer? Or do you know anyone willing to sell one and ship it to Oregon USA for under $700usd?

[@DavidKuckhermann]

I would be sceptic about these offers. The beginner instrument with the best price/quality relation that I know of costs 1200 EUR and is a proper very good handpan.

[@Psalmist374DKR]

@@DavidKuckhermann 3 reviews 5 stars, took a chance with what we could even remotely afford and now teachers are shut down... 1200 was out of our range before,but it is absolutely astronomical now. But did get 4yrs insurance from Amazon.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

@@Psalmist374DKR In that case I hope you got a great deal and will receive a good instrument! Would you mind sending us an update here once you have it? I'd be curious to hear more.

[@Psalmist374DKR]

@@DavidKuckhermann already have it and was making music out of the box with it! Sounds good to itself, can't say whether it would work in a ensemble or not, but my son melted at the sound and I was lifting off... Believe me, I was so skeptical I tried to get the order cancelled but it was already shipped so they prepared an RMA label and it is still in my inbox just in case too

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Darrell Russell awesome, really glad to hear it! 👍👍👍

[@Fenkoster]

Good work!! Very inspiring and well explained

[@narayanansubramaniam9970]

David, I wish to enrol in your video online courses. Can you please provide me with a link to your basics course?

[@DavidKuckhermann]

sure, check out all the courses at www.handpandojo.com

[@narayanansubramaniam9970]

David, the hand pan that I intended to buy has only six notes as opposed to your 8. It is 17” diameter. Can I still follow your course?

[@narayanansubramaniam9970]

David, How large is your hand pan and how heavy is it? I see from your videos that you play it in your living room, balanced on your lap!

[@pantamrobin2341]

Hallo David, hab da eine Frage. In diesem clip ist der Handsatz RLLRLRL, in einem früheren deiner 7/8 Videos hast du mit RRLRLRL gearbeitet, ist dieser "neuere Handsatz" eingängiger ? oder variierst du bewußt im wechseln des Handsatzes? Freu mich auf deine Antwort. Danke für alle deine tollen Videos!!! Alles Gute

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Hi Robin, RLLRLRL, wie ich ihn in diesem Video benutze, ist einsteigerfreundlicher. Daher benutze ich ihn hier. Ich benutze meistens lieber rrlrlrl, aber im Grunde sollte man sich eh beide Varianten draufschaffen ;).

[@pantamrobin2341]

@@DavidKuckhermann, ja genau super Danke

[@Jessica19.80]

Danke viel mal für deine Videos! Ich ha seit zwei Wochen eine Handpan zu Hause und nutze sie als Musiktherapie. Leider muss ich sie in zwei Wochen wieder zurückbringen. Aber irgendwann kann ich mir hoffentlich auch eine Handpan leisten. Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz😄
