Can I say something from my heart? You were the first video I saw about handspans, you were so kind and helpful, and now, making handpan songs is one of my favorite things now! It’s a big thanks to you, and I feel in your debt.

[@HandPanda]

That;s amazing to hear Jon. I hope that you are able to hold that joy with you and share it with others!

[@jdmikels]

I like the sound of the hang drum. It has a steel drum tone but it is enclosed with a bit less resonance. Yes, I wish the price was alot less. These instruments are very relaxing

[@CasaDeNumy]

"... a new beautiful instrument to carry your soul forward." Man, I just burst into tears. I was watching you play and thinking I need to reclaim my ability to play the instruments I already own before I invest in something new and then you went and said that. Beautiful, just... beautiful.

[@stollay]

this is an awesome video, it was part of my decision making process in buying my first tongue drum, which I just received from Kaizen. Thank you for putting this together. For those awaiting their Kaizen drums... I got my drum. I dealt with Levi directly, and I was not involved with the indiegogo campaign. I bought it off the site in December 2016. I was really let down with the customer service. I was given an estimate of three weeks, which was consistent with the time indicated on the website. I was told "very soon", "ASAP", "in about a week" many times. After 18 frustrating weeks of emails I got my drum. It is exactly what I ordered, and I am happy with it. It sounds great. I don't mind waiting. What bothered me was the constant assurance that it was almost ready to ship, when it wasn't. If Kaizen would be straight with their customers and say "hey, I am backlogged, I have your order but it is going to take 4 months to get to you" I would have been cool with that. I would not have retracted my order. Perhaps that is the concern. This style of business will do more damage in the long run. All the best

[@sterlingfreeman7260]

I like the comparisons, and the exhibition of techniques with each style of drum and hitting variations.

[@shannonfarrell1786]

That's one of the nicest comments I could get!

[@NoDictaorsAllowed]

Just the tiny sample you gave was pretty magical. The vibration in my ears and my hand as I was holding my iPhone was blissning. 🙏

[@TammyofSurrealityArt]

Thank You for this demo comparison. Its been a great way for me to see and more importantly hear the various steel tongue drums.

[@truthbetold4024]

the last 2 sound incredible!

[@eliara-thevoice8430]

These drums are very healing. Feel funky? Pick one up and play. In 5 minutes or less, you are a different person. God Bless all the beautiful musicians for creating these magical instruments.

[@lisaozenich]

I met someone who had one made from a propane tank and it sounded amazing. I've been fascinated by them ever since. I wish I could afford the bigger hand pan drums but, I think I might buy one of the smaller ones and give it a try. Thanks for the information!

[@kiddpenn]

Beautiful! It was really interesting to hear the different kinds all together, they each surprised me.

[@TheEathos]

Just ordered my RAV Vast! I have been dreaming about having a handpan for years and now I finally get to start my journey. I'll be learning to play the RAV and eventually hopefully get a handpan in a year or so!

[@krzywy8873]

how is it so far?

[@unknownperson-hg4wr]

RAV has far better sound for sure and is not overratted and overvalued like Hang .Is definitely worth the price.

[@KeizerHedorah]

RAV on man ! That's great!

[@theonewiththehorse]

i got chills when you played the handpan, just beautiful

[@toma6704]

you convinced me to get a kaizen f big bear, what a blissful sound, such an amazing resonance... blessings :)

[@naturalwitchery]

Wow! The difference in tone. Thanks for this informative video. You are a delight to listen to!

[@garrymoise7]

I just played the RAV vast for the first time. It was a great experience.

[@BouXIII]

In order to play any type of Hang drum, you need to grow Dreadlocks first.

[@TheArchersTungsten]

So true lmao

[@kevinkingrey4067]

Everybody I have seen on a Rav drum, so far, has possessed bodacious dreds.

[@tabithafalch6809]

Thank you for that! Thought I wanted something closer to the Hapi drum.... but learned I really just want the handpan 💖

[@radekbekielermusic]

Thanks to You, I totally changed my mind from hapi mini to Rav!!!!!!!!!!! Simply amazing! I believe everybody will have individual feeling about these instruments, but I just totally fallen in love in the last one! :)

[@keelanlowe8033]

Great to hear the comparisons of the different types of hand drum! I'm just waiting on my Zen Celtic Minor handpan, and considering a Rav Vast 2 while I wait so this is fantastic to get a better idea of the differences! Thanks for the video!!

[@boombipboogaloo9891]

Watched this video, few months later I bought a rav vast. Hadn't seen one before until this video!

[@antrygis1]

Thanks guy. I have had ulnar neuropathy in my writing hand/arm for 28+ years now but I bought a 13 note 12 inch Happybuy steel tongue drum. I will be very limited of course but after I start out slow and get a feel for the tones and notes I'll be tuning in. Cool to hear the different tones, I bet that bigger one can do some special stuff.

[@cosmicdraconian6712]

Hearing them feel like im flying or something. Feels great.

[@carlhammill5774]

There is simply no comparison to Hang drum. Magical sounds. There is huge market for these but they need to become more affordable

[@donnielee8556]

I love that second to last one. That sounds resonates so strongly with my spirit

[@idamushroom]

Watch the Malte Marten & Sergio Huerta Perez handpan video. Your spirit will probably love that piece of music as much as mine does :-)

[@zaizen4359]

Thanks so much for this video! I've always wanted a handpan but they're ridiculously expensive....the expense is certainly justified given that they're made by hand and whatnot, but it's just far outside my budget for now. Maybe in a few years I can afford one. I'm super glad that there's a more affordable (and portable) alternative! I'll definitely be picking up one of those small tongue(?) drums in the near future. I prefer the look of the Kaizen drum to the Hapi, but I'm worried about the customer service since some others have had issues with communication and excessively long waits, but as long as I get what I order (and hopefully it doesn't take TOO terribly long) I can deal.

[@SC-ow8vb]

Thank you. Great review of the different drums. Will be very helpful when deciding on my first purchase.

Aweso.e overview and comparison of the drums!

[@Hoody1147]

So, if i wanted to get into these. What would be a couple things you'd point me to? Which Drum? How to learn? Where to start? I'm inspired!

[@Dylan-we5dz]

Hoody1147 I like rav drums, they are easy to play. You don’t really learn, you can just pick it up and play. You can learn the basic technique but then you are set.

[@KeizerHedorah]

Which drum: Any How to learn: hit it with hands Where to start: street corner To furthur "get into these", I suggest not showering for a few years, losing ones shoes and smoking cannabis regularly.

[@antrygis1]

Hoody, I am getting one any day now. For me it was listening to SO many and what they sounded like. Like, that's great but weak in that part. If I was able I'd be driving to wherever they are and just trying them out....within a price limit of course. I settled on a 13 note 12 inch Happybuy but each his own. Someone did a demo that said the smaller ones are more limited. Have a fun journey finding the one for you.

[@Noname304y2u2]

All of them sound amazing. Thanks for the vid!

[@artonaut_ganj]

damn that RAV Vast produced a note that I definitely didn't expect, really cool!

[@thewovenpath]

I'm glad i found this. I was looking for a handpan but it's not within my budget right now. hopefully next year once i find a place/ marker. I def like the sound of the Kaizen and its size. I might have to just order one of those for now.

Great video. Nice performance. Exactly what i was lookin for.

[@underrose8192]

[@shanafrazier2943]

I found some running around 1200...but thats still hella steep

[@lukaslukas7316]

Not the Russian one, it costs 500-700$

[@soslothful]

Profit crazed hippies.

[@Cody_Cigar]

+soslothful Not really, do you know how much effort goes into making these? Many builders have like 50 scrapped ones (even those have 200$ material cost alone) lying around cause a mistake means starting over again. Some makers sell their stainless steel prototypes for ~250-350$ though. They're not scraps so they still sound amazing, if you're looking to buy cheap steel drums I recommend "the handpan community" on Facebook.
