Handpan Lessons: Hand-2-Hand Playing

[@DavidKuckhermann]

This concept looks simple at first, but have you really checked out all the details? It's worth looking thoroughly into the concept of hand-2-hand playing, the details are not as obvious as they seem! 😉

[@pantamrobin2341]

Thanks a lot David. That´s really true lots of details are inside although I´m not new in drumming, handpan is a challenge cause of it´s amount of possibilities. But this alternating hand concept convince me totally. Have a good day and thank you very much.

[@nonoarnoob]

Thank you for video

[@fibsus]

True 😅

[@michaelhandpan9675]

[@DJTabooMixTypeBeat]

Adult beginner handpanist here, thx u so much for the basic tutorials. 🙏

[@AyramAntonioMorin]

I am very grateful for your work and for everything you share with us, thank you very much, a hug David

[@pinkdragon555]

So tempted to have such music instrument. Great teaching

[@bodhidogculture]

Thank you so much for offering this. I am working on it on the Rav Vast. It translates well. Your exercises and progression are really great.

[@newgabe09]

Your online course is simply wonderful and this is a great add on! LOVE how your compositions drill useful techniques that can lead on to improvisation in such interesting rhythms.

[@paulflair7070]

Wow ! Thanks David. Yes...the treasure is certainly buried in the details! Ours to discover! With splitting fingers from so much soap and water, playing/counting, over and over, the D..TT..DD..TT..D exercise, till embedded ! I really find your methods( online courses) take me further. Much appreciated to find this video this morning . Another covid- Saturday , surprise !

[@DavidKuckhermann]

My skin is not happy either... :/

[@johnlemonds509]

Hi David! I also had to move this past week. I wish it had been to the Forest but it was deeper into the big city. On the plus side, I've got a lot of time to study your lessons these days! This lesson is good for me in that it helps me to visualize the options in time and space that I can choose to use.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome! I liked to live in the city for many years, but now with our daughter it was time to relocate. Yea, for me too the visualisation helps and knowing on which of the 4 16th notes on a beat I want to place an accent. Glad that the video helps you! 😁 👍

[@CathyStacy]

Very nice. I always love watching your videos. Thank you.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

That's lovely to hear Cathy, thanks! 🙏

[@intuivity2694]

Thanks for using the shifti beat, its one of my favorite rhythms. My drum expirience is mostly middle eastern and it has translated so beautifly to my Bkurd Rav! Thanks for sharing!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

You're welcome! It's a great one for sure, the balance between tension in the first half and relaxation in the 2nd makes this groove awesome! 👍

[@bodhidogculture]

I was just typing the same thing. Learning it on the BKurd as well.

[@Azil_Player]

Really amazing ! Congrats my friend ! You hyped me ! I will have one in several month, and I will come back to work this lesson !

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome, looking forward to see you again!

[@martinmobemusic7290]

Master !!!!!!! Thank you for your lessons !!!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Forever a student! You're very welcome Martin! 🙏

[@peterspiessens2581]

Thanks David for this amazing way of helping us on a very good and clear way. This is for me and many other the best way to learn how to play. Specifically when you are stockt in always the same melody. Ones more thank you. 🙏🙏🙏

[@DavidKuckhermann]

You're very welcome! 😁

[@HookTheMonster]

I love this video. Thank you for breaking down the hand to hand style of playing a bit more. Rudimentary lessons like this will help more people become solidified in their playing regardless of their level of experience. Vielen dank!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome and you're welcome! 😁

Lots of lovely stuff to practice with. The explanation makes this very clear. Thanks

Thanks Babak! 🙏

[@DifferentlyThinker]

Wow, how beautiful, and a great video, just magical the way you play, thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@OlesDeyneka]

very nice seeing you transition into a "blog" style lesson. Beautiful place you live in. And great tips and exercises!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks Oles! I enjoyed it too, I might adapt the style for some of the future videos. 😁

I love your playing and I love the handpan, thank you! I have an eight note Bali steel so, I'm wondering how would I apply?

[@greenoak1]

Super video! Can’t wait to try it. Hey David! 👋

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Hey Ray, good to meet you here. Thanks! I'm following your quarantine blogs! :D big hug

[@nopalhandpan]

Excellent videos thank you very much for teaching us I have three days with the hanpan❤

[@wheremylifego3790]

So basically absolute pros only lol Im trying my hardest to find the best possible way to learn this instrument infact ups has literally just delivered it 😬...only problem is i can't play any instruments but have completely fell in love with the sound of this instrument Any advice woukd be greatly appreciated ❤many thanks love from the uk Ps going to take a look at your online courses 😁

[@evgenysosnovsky]

Thank you so much!!! It's really works!!! Very informative and useful.

[@subobo4719]

I love your tutorials!! Looked this over again and found out, there is one thing that confuses me: from Min: 9:50... are you inserting a tak at the end of the lines that is not shown in the written pattern?

[@nellriordain8291]

I was looking for this as well. I guess he plays "5/3 . . T" Because if i play exactly as written it doesn't sound quite the same as when he do.

[@FractalInnerExpression]

Thank you for sharing that. I will try after a moment

[@pablohohnle92]

Tnx for techme. U aré the best hang teacher !!

[@sebastiankuhnert3639]

Great, David!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thank you! 🙏

[@sebastiankuhnert3639]

From a 'didactic' standpoint to me absolutely perfect!!! May I ask what programme you use for making the notes for the groove? Also, is it sometimes not a problem for yourself and/or for your students to have numbers from 1-9 for the notes and numbers for counting? It seems the best way to do it like that, but I was thinking about another way of counting (to count from a to i would be a problem too because of the notes..) It would be nice to get a reply towards that 'problem'. Thank you!

[@huellasdecombate]

Your video is great thank you very much ❤❤

[@MagoChok]

Beautiful! How's the name of the song at the very end?

[@MoonedWolf]

Excelente! Muchas gracias por compartir tu conocimiento!🙏

[@Gabi-ni6lj]

Hallo David, vielen vielen Dank für deine Videos. Ich bin Anfängerin und deine Erklärungen sind für mich sehr hilfreich. Anfangs probierte ich aus, an welchen Stellen der Anschlag am Besten klingt und empfinde ihn an der Kante von der glatten Klangfeldfläche und der Mulde am klarsten. Nun sah ich in deinen Videos, dass du nur das Klangfeld anschlägst, also nicht die Kante. Ich nahm an, dass dies deinem ganz persönlichen Interesse entsprungen ist und schaute mich bei youtube in Zeitlupe um. Ich bin überrascht, dass bis auf eine Person alle so spielen wie du und ich fragte mich, warum. Hab ich ein anderes Klangempfinden oder hat es damit zu tun, dass ab einer bestimmten Spielgeschwindigkeit die Kanten nicht mehr sauber getroffen werden können? Über eine Rückmeldung von dir würde ich mich freuen. Wie du schon sagst: etwas falsch Gelerntes umzulernen ist viel schwieriger, als es gleich richtig zu erlernen. Vielen Dank im Voraus und liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

[@davidmichaelminyoungan9052]

Does it works on the little tank drum also?

[@tamaraesilvia]

Fantastico 🤩 Grazie. Molto utile 🙏❤️

[@piaandgardenparadise]

Thank you 🩵

[@JohnDoe-qb3bi]

The percussive sound on the edge od the ding is soo ringy and bright, does it depend on the quality of the instrument or is it just this one? Same sound on mine is way duller, not as pronounced

[@nikolaydadakin6102]

Amazing!

[@jbgdream9520]

Hello, thank you for posting this tutorial, very helpful. Just a question: what is "K" at 08:49?

[@JP-vb4ky]

Hi David I've been following you for a couple of years now and I have learned a lot with you. One question: Can you please give lessons on Rav Vast drums?

[@dalybor]

Great play!

[@kayelle2693]

Great ! I discover your channel, it's a great help for me to learn handpan (and rythmic too). Thanks a lot for yours tutoriel on handpan. Hope you 'll do some more !!! Regards.

좋은 강의 감사합니다.

[@atticatseng]

Just got a handpan and started learning. Mastering all the patterns in this 10 minutes video is going to be a marathon for me, I guess...

[@narayanansubramaniam9970]

How big is your hand pan ,David? And how heavy is it?

[@maquinahumana71]

What is the scale and hz about this instrument?

[@patomaseda]

nice! I'll practice! everything looks so simple on these videos XD but then it's not!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

That's a great point! The goal is to make things look simple, glad I was successful in this video, thank you! 🙏

[@narayanansubramaniam9970]

David, I like to enrol for your video courses. I have ordered a 14” alloy steel HANDPAN drum from China. It has 14notes and tuned to C. Can you please let me know the procedure?

[@pinkdragon555]

Can anyone tell me where to buy this kind of hand pan please. Share price idea too Many thanks !!!

[@luckyqueen4617]

Can you please teach us how to play 6tones handpan? I bought it already but don't know how to play it 🙈

[@andreasgebert9321]

❤ So cool

[@Nlblessed0]

Hi David! Your videos are very instructional. The way you pace the information resonates very well with the way I learn. So much so that i am considering enrolling into your online course for the handpan. I have a question about the compatibility with the RAV Drum. Do you think your course fits the Rav Drum well enough? Or would it be better to look for a RAV specific course?

[@marvisch]

Plz suggest some daily warm up exercise

[@clem.lme.music1427]

Bonjour, le T sur mon handpan ré mineur ne fait pas le même son que le vôtre, est-ce normal ?

[@saeedsamandari4571]

What's the difference between T and K

[@balazscsere160]

Woow🙏👍 Maxi respect🙏🙏🤗

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks Balázs! 🙏

[@sappy490]

Note to self to check out 7:52 when I get my handpan

[@marc-andrethivierge5847]

What's means the ''K'' ?

[@narayanansubramaniam9970]

Do the online video courses cost very much? I am on a tight budget, and I did not really order a HANDPAN drum, just another drum!

[@susannewirth2090]

gibts das auch in deutsch?

[@multicolourization]

is there a way to just be able to feel the timings without playing with 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and? its so hideous for me that even easy rythems give me trouble

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Yes, you can forget about the numbers and just focus on where a stroke falls in relation to the beat.

[@dubussysound]

I was thinking about that and the video appears ahahh

[@aldaancapigallegos8506]

Lo puedes explicar en español porfa o como subtitulo porfa no entiendo inglés

[@vezgold]

What's the meaning of the letter "T"? Thank you

[@DavidKuckhermann]

High percussive accent “tak”

Kannst du das vll auch in deiner Muttersprache Deutsch machen? Was soll das immer ?

[@yourfabilouscoach]

This is amazing... have been praciticing 75min yesterday and now just another session.. I am slowly starting to get into the individual patterns and also start combining... yet I find it very difficult to go from the practice speed to the real speed. I loose it completely... can't find the rhythm at all. And it makes such a difference in how it sounds. I really want to get it. any tips David?

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome Fabienne, that sounds amazing. If you can make it sound good in practice speed, give it some time and slowly raise the tempo. Always go back to the slow speed as well to preserve clarity. Give it some time and it will come, especially if you practice so much! 👍
