Kosmosky is different thing. Like them for their ambient and almost pad like sustain

[@tomaszmazurek64]

Haven't heard those Kosmosky drums before but damn they are something else, they almost sound like a gamelan rather than a regular tongue drum.

[@lynnewarren8404]

Thank you so much for your coverage of the amazingly cool things the musicians & craftspeople at Kosmosky are doing with tongue drums. I have two of their drums: a Gmajor11e 12-inch Dvutone, which has a wonderful, ringing, bell-like sound with a magic sustain; and a Gminor New Wave 10-tongue model (the lavender color) which, like your Eminor, has the most astonishing pure tone. The New Wave is also 13 inches across, but it’s so light-weight that I can easily play it while carrying it, walking around!

[@bobprentiss8215]

This was great, hearing how different each one is. I liked the Woody tri tone.

[@DiSWRwow77]

Me too. Can't afford one tho.

[@mattf.3124]

They all sound wonderful; so many different timbres - can't possibly pick one as a favorite.....I'll take them all and play them in various combinations! Many thanks for posting this.

[@adamreynolds8270]

Kosmoski duvietone and tritone sound the best. They have more presence with sustain and harmonics. They also project the sound out more. They seem to be good for hand playing as well as with the mallets. Kosmoski for me is the best sound!

[@francescospampinato433]

Well done! 👍I've been waiting a long time for a comparative video of this quality. The quality of the recording is superb. The Kosmosky are really on another level. Perhaps the best in the world. But I'd like to see other excellent products compared too. For example, the Polish 'Pulsar', the Ukrainian 'NovaDrum' and the French 'Steeldrum'. Personally, I have a tunable 9-note Steeldrum, which has a system of bars welded inside, for an even purer sound. It's excellent. Perhaps it deserves a second episode of comparison by Kalani 😉

[@chroniclesofgoatman]

Thanks for posting this, I’ve always wanted to try one out

[@Melodic_Alchemy]

the Kosmosky New wave drums are really great. I have the new wave symphony set, they are awesome, really pretty tones, and long sustain... I played them on several videos in my channel!

[@anthonypagan3634]

Awesome Kilani🙏Thanks Brother…

[@JanCummings]

Thank you for this demonstration.

[@jeanettebelz5800]

Wow. This was great! I’ve been looking at something in D minor.

[@DiSWRwow77]

I just bought a D major and it's great alongside my smaller 10 inch C. I find D fairly relaxing to listen to.

[@susanlee9532]

Thank you.

[@bc944]

My lawd... I looked up that Woody!! 500$! I can't.....dooooo....another hobby!!! Sounds so good!!

[@kcrowe559]

The kosmosky drums are heavenly.

[@moochie80]

This video is very informative. I also have a question. what mic are you using to record this quality for the Tongue drum. I just got a RC505 I'm leaning how to use it for my sound healing journey events. But I'm struggling. I may reach out to get some help if you don't mind.

[@suburbanimages]

Great content, info and music alike. Btw.. .what is your take on Liquid Light Acoustics? Did you ever play one of their drums? Polaris seems like an interesting thing...

[@cb-at]

best sound for me: Kosmosky (never heard before) - but i have a 22" SELA handpan and a Rav Vast in B Rus: these are real music instruments, not only something like a musical toy...

[@toni2606]

Really nice demo and comparison of these drums. Is the Woody Tritone the B minor Insomnia version? I just received my 12" Kosmosky Flower of Life in the B minor Insomnia tuning. Even though it is not a Tritone (or even a Dvutone), it sounds very similar to the one you demo here. I also have a Tritone A minor and a Dvutone G major. The black friday deal on the New Wave 15 was too good to pass up and I'm really looking forward to that one! The Kosmoskys and Rav Vast are at the top of my favorites.🎶🙂

[@MrVrajamohan]

el Kosmosky es UNICO

[@gordonj.wallis2826]

The Woody

[@zantas-handle]

I'm new to this. As an enthusiastic beginner, would you always recommend buying a Drum in the key of C? I'm just wondering if the most musical tabs available are usually for a C drum, or if I can just buy the drum with the sound/key I like the best?

[@tommiekelly8680]

Next time tell us what key they're in, please. And where to get instructions that actually give some notes on scales... and explain the different scales Thanks.

[@junekirk-qo3sl]

i have a drum and i don't know what the notes are - can u help please ?

[@kcrowe559]

Try using a tuner, you can get an app for one on your phone
