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.

[@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

[@billwesley]

@@kingofallworlds I'm listening to timbre, just one note will suffice. different instruments have different qualities of timbre regardless of mode or key.

[@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.

[@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.

[@tomlange145]

That's what another $1200 adds. You can get 2 Rav's for the price of one Hang.

[@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.

[@Rannzepeace]

this is the one type of instrument I feel the NEED to play or even own one and often think about. I play some instruments but none really give me the "vibes" like these do. what an interesting creation. Thanks for the video :)

[@mikefarr6205]

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). Sounds like a combo of a bell and a pan drum. I imagine you’d love it. Thanks for the insights. Helped me appreciate my tank drum even more.

i love the rav drum, my dad does a workshop at local festivals where he sells them and kinda teaches people how to play. he just sits out on his chair playing until while waiting for people to come over and investigate. the virus has canceled all the festivals so we have like 30 of them in the house. he makes them in two sizes, large and then a smaller one (for the kids, or if you just want a higher pitch).

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! 😀

[@abreyadamsphotography3310]

Thank you so much for sharing this video and the links to purchase! I have been dying to purchase a handpan for years. I am so fascinated and intrigued with this instrument. The sounds are so hypnotic and beautiful! Very soothing. 💓 I might have to start with the RAV drum first and work up to the handpan.

[@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.

Since 2008 you have to sign that you dont sell the Hang for i higher price than the price for the new product - you can contact the Factory, they can connect you to owners that warnt to sell. I was about to buy a gubal (Not produced anymore) for over 2000 Euro, but Todd i bought a set with 4 Instruments for 6000. for those who are interested: visit the factory in Bern, you can see the factory, play many Instruments and chose your Instrument (i found 3 very great ones fitting together perfectly)

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.

[@seangere9698]

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.

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.

There's something else behind the actual note on the Handpan that really sets it apart from the Rav, I was hoping it would be closer in tone, because I'm not rich! And I was about to buy a Rav, but the more videos I see I really want the Handpan. There's so many other noises you can make by hitting between the notes. And that sound behind the note is just so pleasing to me. Guess I'll be saving a while longer.

the Hang in this video is detuned and does not hold the strikes(beaten up and loosen down). this is no a good comparison. the guy in the video also forgot to add that you don't really hear much of the RAV Vast starting from a meter distance and the sound is 2D and very directional from each tongue. while Hang sound is 360 degree and fill the room with descent sound pressure, also the sound itself is "3d". the other thing to mention is non-linear behavior of the Hang membrane giving it a much wider dynamic possibilities and thus expression.
