the Hang is a Swiss instrument Handmade by a couple, who produce only a certain amount each year, they are a great way to relax and enjoy yourself!
enjoy i know i did!
Oh and these guys also have a CD so if you get in touch with them on myspace im sure they could arrange to send one out to you :)

I don't get why so many people look at a video of someone expressing and displaying their form of art, then you talk about how they look? Close your eyes, not your mind. I think this is awesome. Love it guys

[@jinusrafezadeh3335]

They look and sound amazing ❤️🇨🇦

[@FluffyThePink]

Because some people are idjits. 🤷 These guys are effin' amazing.

[@dizzious]

Not sure how they look "weird". Just a couple dudes jammin' out as far as I can see.

[@_Kaurus]

I'm surprised you've asked this question as the answer is very straight forward and it's essentially because nacasism is rampant in modern society where $ and your looks speak loudest and the easiest way to make money is being good looking and filming yourself doing absolutely nothing relevent. This doesn't even mean you have to be born good looking because you can surgically ulter yourself to be better looking and then film yourself doing whatever.

[@bbldrizzy445]

they both look hella drippy, and their skills are nothing short of amazing

[@Adam-xd4sb]

It's street performers like these guys, that keep the real spirit of music alive. I had never heard of the hang drum, until I saw this video. It's absolutely amazing!!

[@hili467]

it's so sad they didn't make them more available, more accessible. It's an extraordinarily beautiful instrument. There very easily would have been a musical revolution if it hadn't been so elite.

[@4ttys]

I don't know how many times have I listened to this over the years. Thanks for the upload.

[@DanielWaples]

Welcome! hope you found some of our other tracks too though! :)

[@ThePaulgregg]

What an addictive sound. I am drawn to the haunting beautiful sound of these talented musicians and those amazing instruments.

[@LindonLeaf]

It is not enough to watch this just one time. This is wonderful talent!

[@blairmacewancrosbie8646]

I was mesmerised by these guys when i came across them playing in Bath in 2011. Bought the CD and have loved their music ever since.

[@lettiekelly5339]

Your music is wonderful! IT has calmed an angry mind, opened up the soul to gratitude, and is even great to meditate by.

[@lewwilliams3276]

those drums can produce unique sound that is for sure I have seen a few different versions but I like these better

[@williamstdog9]

I agree! You seem like a beautiful and honest woman Lettie .. I like the way you think and you seem like a very wise woman!

[@RoseyC]

IT as in a wrinkle in time?

[@user-sd2wq9vh4n]

Спасибо, ребята!.Получила истинное удовольствие от вашей музыки

[@addajustiniano4670]

I CAN'T GET BORED OF THIS SONG!

[@whysospicy]

After playing my own Hang Drum, I cannot even come close to reproducing what these true artist can do. I am so deeply appreciative of their talents. WOW.

[@johncool3y]

I never knew that alien space ships sounded so nice when used as a drum....that was awesome!

[@FluffyThePink]

😂 That was pretty much my 75yo Mums prompt response to Hang drums "they'll give the poor aliens a headache!"

[@TiborRoussou]

Never heard or seen anything like this! Words fail to describe this masterpiece. Love it : )

[@mike-rayner-videos]

this is amazing !!!

[@SupaBlank]

You guy's pure heart, love and spirit for the music is half of what makes it so Great, one love. More please.

[@Luna-fc5dm]

I love this music I hear it much now and when I was a little kid. I love it :D

[@mythril4]

I would love to know both of these guys, especially Daniel! Plus I don't know what other people are seeing, but I think he is both beautiful and has an amazing smile. I bet both of these guys are just wonderfully positive to be around.

[@guitarandukulele1996]

I think the notes on these instruments are all from one pentatonic scale instead of an entire scale. This means that whenever they improvise it will sound good because notes in the same pentatonic scale easily flow together and can be mixed simply to form chords, motifs, etc. The reason each video sounds the similar is because there is only a finite number of catchy motifs and good chords to come up with in one pentatonic scale.

[@eniahmatthys885]

gosh , those hands ! i really really like this kind of music , love the instrument . great job guys

[@katherineraymond6865]

Both of you are so talented! What beautiful music!

[@NickRenwick]

Here is some musical motivation for mental mondays! #mondaymotivation #mondaymusic #hangouts

[@RunningRiot14]

[@NickRenwick]

[@johnhickle5618]

[@AECSRQ]

So we finally caught a couple of flying saucers and decided to play them. The aliens inside had no idea.

[@turtlesoul]

[@headnoddingbeats]

I can't recall how I discovered this, but I'm glad I did. It's not often that you hear such a unique instrument that isn't so well known.

Love towards all of the Earth is not as exclusive nor as elusive as it is made out to be by the few who know it to be true. The achievement of the greatest of wealth ever known is not in the things of this world but is from within. The rest will come naturally for those who lead or follow as best they can to help others see a better choice and path that they may have never known without a helping hand instead of a deceptive, treacherous and wretched one.

[@darviniusb]

This is just..out of this world, Amazing.

[@nguyenvuan]

[@bruce3727]

[@pedrodepaca57]

Love your music so relaxing and calming....

[@reneshay889]

So beautiful!

[@epicfaaail]

am i the only one who thinks the bells are just annoying? the hang drum sound is so much more beautiful alone

[@greeyanlorda]

+epicfaaail me too ):

[@AnwayPramanik]

+epicfaaail metronome my friend, metronome. We all need it.

[@_733t]

+Anway Pramanik how is it a metronome when you're in control of it...

[@AnwayPramanik]

***** If it's constant, it's as good as a metronome. Doesn't matter who makes it//

[@vertex546]

You've clearly never played bass or piano lol

[@svetlanapopova9984]

космическая музыка!

[@cheracker823]

Love this guys!!

[@jimmy-jamesolivier-mccutch2126]

been here a lot of times and everytime he flip the hang and play the hole im always blown away O_O

[@monistein3636]

just wow!!!! speechless.....this is awesome!

[@user-ui4ss6xk6w]

классная музыка :)

[@Maveriks1010]

love this instrument. it just transports you to the earliest days of Chinese civilization

[@jonrosenow5812]

Miguelitsss damn you are stupid, it was invented in Switzerland in 2000.

[@davidpotts3844]

It is a universal tone pattern that resonates with a Galactic language and transports one far beyond the surface of this Planet

[@EtienneDeguine]

That was just amazing, made my day! Thank you!!!!

[@jarosawolszewski6274]

SUPER. Wspaniale się tego słucha.

[@YSdestoyer]

It's extremely annoying that they don't make these anymore.. Like their instrument is some given right and only certain people can play it. Even when they were selling it you could only write letters to the makers (posted, no emails) and travel to Europe to recieve one.. Rather ignorant.

[@SaxBerry82]

I just love his way to smile... he makes me feeling in peace. :) and he's handsome too :P (I'm talking about daniel...)

[@MrChochulchang]

Awesome music! And they look so happy! Which makes me happy...

[@JoNniixD]

These hang drums are amazing! I wish I could play such a thing, I never saw or heard of it before, it sounds so beautiful!

[@brieanmcdowell7943]

The first thing I think about when the video plays is "I'm really jealous of that guy's dreads on right side."

[@TheCodeGuy12]

All you have to do is stop washing your hair forever and be ok with it smelling like horse shit.

[@TheRattingChap]

excellent but no need for the bells rattle in the background, it ruins the trance

[@SalenNardri]

***** I could do without the bells as well, but it is not some random dancing idiot in the background who is rattling them, it's the guy on the right who has the bells around his ankle.

[@TheRattingChap]

SalenNardri if that is the case, then he should know better,

[@Dopplejager57]

The bells are to keep a beat, if you play percussion, you'd know that percussion is a pattern, and the pattern needs to be on time, the bells keep the pace

[@ThrownYogurt]

tokisic tru If you play percussion you shouldn't need to keep the beat past the first few measures--the bells kill this performance.

[@SeitenTaisei93]

tokisic tru Yeah but bells like those are the worst kind of way to keep the pace, usually if you have to do it you do it with an instrument that can give out a clear, single sound, like for example a cowbell or claves, this sounds way too "messy", it kind of fucks up everything..and plus it ruins the song a bit because it doesn't really fit well with the sound of hang drums.

[@susanaambrosetti8143]

Love your music, guys!!!

[@lynnsouthgate1415]

amazing sound--just discovered them,now i find they're everywhere on YT..THANKYOU

[@TheEnderFreeman]

Daniel Waples seems a litle bit angry with the blond guy, or it´s just me? I think he cant follow the rythm of Waples. They are better in their own ways.

[@Anthony-jc1ii]

+Ender Freman right 3 times he makes a face cause the other dude is stepping all over it lol. still he made the best of it.

[@TeetersMcShmeeter]

This makes my flute look boring

[@jamesbtex58]

Flutes can make a wonderful addition to the hang!

[@charmainehooper6549]

Love it I could so dance to this gorgeous music

[@alvarosantiago2547]

Wow! It's a beautiful song. Tank you

Ethereal music - I also have Vesica Piscis, a fantastic album and I am so happy to have found you. I am a fan of exotic instruments and out of the ordinary - sounds. Wish I could hear you play live! The sound envelops me and the sound seems to go through my whole body. This cut sounds like it came from a rain forest---I am mesmerized.

[@DanielWaples]

Thanx Deb :)
