Street musician with unbelievable instrument! (Daniel Waples)

I found this guy playing along "Karl Johan" street in Oslo (Norway) with an unbelievable instrument! The sound coming out from that thing was amazing. I have never seen anything like this before.
This is the link to his homepage: www.hanginbalance.com/
His cool KZbin page: / hedgemonkeya
Go to my channel for more videos! / andyax
Update: Thanks for the comments that explained the instrument. It's called PANArt Hang. The guy playing this Hang is called Daniel Waples :)

[@jamie.miller.inspiring]

They are spectacular, aren't they!

[@jevonmcpherson8054]

I want a to hear the full studio version of this.

[@atrancegender]

Where's it

[@vanayon]

Was so fortunate to enjoy his music at a private house party in Atlanta several months ago. I was amazed at the sound & musical atmosphere created. At the time I had no idea Daniel was so popular with his special music & instrument!

[@davidpatrick1]

Woah! Finally Found a music that helps me study without distracting me! Never thought this can help!

[@PaulSebastianM]

I can't imagine the joint aches after playing that!

[@TheAbeEscape]

I find this so heavenly sounding!

[@shinmopi]

This is amazing. I love the sound of that instrument and the way he's playing it.

[@fotinieonie60]

Daniel Waples, the man that I saw at TedEx years ago in Cyprus and fell in love with handpan instrument and his music! I will never forget the feeling of his music in the whole room. Thank you so much

[@ABCDEF-uz9fd]

He looks like a Legend of Zelda Character

[@rosaprosek4535]

Yes, but it sounds so much better than an ocarina

[@atotallyrandomperson3889]

And a Harry Potter character at the same time

This instrument is called a "hang drum" and is extremely rare to find....

[@yutti9275]

I wondering what the instrument was called. Thanks! 😊

[@sfyfarthegreatm4540]

Probably because it’s from outer space

[@valdemaarhitlar]

Sounds close to marimba.

[@irplane]

I see people like him playing that all the time, it's like their go to instrument after bongos

[@dkt6408]

not that rare

[@Automedon2]

Fantastic. Thanks for posting it.

[@FilzSkillz]

I remember seeing this guy in London a few years ago and I bought his CD. Damn, need to find that thing and have another listen.

[@GuardianDragon6]

He's hitting a ufo!

[@MariaPerez-wc1kx]

Its a hang drum

[@JDTVEXTREMEVIDEOS]

Thats really E.T. inside that spaceship playing that music. Then he flips it over and E.T is like WTF???? then flips it back over and he plays music again. LOL

[@ValeriyProsvet]

[@TkimSangma]

that was cool...need more of it.

[@petersmythe2916]

I would like to point out that this is as versatile as several drum sets played at once, or even a guitar, or maybe a piano, yet as simple as a single drum. A truly genius instrument.

[@space.cowboy69]

I be the keeps his weed in there :)

[@jodomo4279]

Joshi :3 Oh shit, a joke at someone else's expense! Let's kill it with pretentious whining!

[@itsaguinness]

Hypebeast if he did it would sound like a maraca

[@gaminglatte8711]

Hypebeast not really he was at my school a few years ago if he did they wouldn't let him in the school plus it wouldn't make a sound because it needs to be completely hollow

[@jettpack2057]

[@lordmelon6110]

GamingLatte Bruh it was a joke

[@mocho93]

Does anyone know if there is the full song that he is playing in the video in somewhere on the internet?

[@Olhamo]

google Daniel Waples

[@muzicman47]

BRAVO! Happy music! and so pure!

[@Paintbl99]

Wow that is so cool, I have never seen an instrument like that before. Thanks for sharing!

[@ashlillyvictoria3395]

Argh this is so AWESOME!!! Also, he is cute ;)

[@TheSoulcraft]

these are called 'HANG DRUMS' as u may know.They just started making them in sweeden barely 10 yrs ago.They can run from 3000-7000 dollars each but WELL worth it if your craft is percussion.You can book solo gigs at small bar/grill's,etc..venues that are small & dont want the kinda volume a full band would bring,Still theyre just a havent been enough made to find a really good deal on say a used one-i got lucky & through guitar center found a guy who was moving back to europe & didnt want to have to haul it back.STILL you can find 'hangdrum' settings on Korg's 'wavedrum',roland v-drums,yamaha spd's,the 'octopad'-or the best elec pad on the market for 1000 buck's 'the mandala' pad designed by Danny Carey of Tool-you tube it,if i had it to do over i'd probably buy one of these instead of hangdrum,tablas,cajon drum,etc.

[@saidas108]

How can these possibly cost $7k-$8k?

[@TheSoulcraft]

all hand made in sweden-maybe 100 pep in the world making em at MOST!,It takes alot of time,etc...depends on the size & key.They have to be perfectly tuned-i mean a top notch Gretch drum set cost 5000-7000 grands w/ouy any cymbals or hardware-just the drum set itself.Ebay one & lemme know what ya find..

[@Automedon2]

That's interesting to know. It's kind of like a Caribbean steel drum in reverse. But honestly, before I read the comments, I thought it was made from a bar-b-que grill

[@TheSoulcraft]

Yeah-whats funny is their ARE drums called 'pan drums' that are basically a barbecue grill top with piece cut out to give lil spaces * make basically like 'keys' on a piano-but its so they'll reverberate,Still theyre crap compared to these-like i said only 2 dudes right now are making em in sweden,so they only make like 100 a yr & their's a waiting list to even get one for 7000 bucks!They just started doing it 10 yrs ago som im hoping they'll let a drum company start making em en-masse!

[@Automedon2]

Mass production might ruin the mystique, but it could be a nice endeavor for more small time craftsmen, just as the Caribbean steel drums are (made from oil drums - though I'm sure you knew that)

[@BuckAroo1961]

Ya know I am happy to, to play on the street... you meet so many people from all over...... it s up there with playin to a lot of people on stage... you go man

[@Morganville94]

I am just amazed by what wonderful talents you come across every day! Thanks to youtube, I get to see unique talents around the world!

[@FinsRacksOutdoors]

He stole that thing at Shitty Wok, South Park

[@lidijatisina2354]

у тебя чтоли?

[@itsaguinness]

Fins&Racks Outdoors Goddamn Mongorians! Why you break down my Shitty Wall?"

[@FoxythePirate666]

the song is called 'Lago' by Daniel Waples playing the Hang Drum

[@jevonmcpherson8054]

no they arent the same song

[@Flipybitz]

some amazing background music to go along with the fight too, it's like his strikes are timmed perfectly!

[@boutika2009]

Love it !!

[@JDTVEXTREMEVIDEOS]

gonna get out the crock pot and make some great music.

[@JDTVEXTREMEVIDEOS]

at 0:26 is that a giant cheeseburger next to him???? LOL

[@colinkempsell]

Yeah, thats his carrying case for the drum. Pretty funny

[@JDTVEXTREMEVIDEOS]

Hope hes got some Ketchup in there. LOL

[@JDTVEXTREMEVIDEOS]

Cheeseburgers all like "This some good music here" LMFAO!!!!!!

[@livvyloveylaughy7637]

wow what a beautiful smile..thats not even what the video is about but he looks so happy. what an amazing world

[@Olhamo]

look up “balanced view”

[@TommyOG420]

...and I swear that thing he's got on his lap zoomed over my house a few years back 😳

[@anniegarnett-xy3bo]

😄

[@Opethfullcovers]

Isn't this just a steel drum?

[@TorrentOfficiall]

Opethfullcovers its a hang, its a more of a specially crafted style instrument. the company panarts doesnt like it being called a drum either for what ever reason.

[@Opethfullcovers]

Well, it's still percussive!

[@TorrentOfficiall]

I agree, just the company that makes them hates it being called a drum is all lol

[@lesah2954]

Opethfullcovers Yeah it is. It's literally a steal pan upside down. I used to see and hear Rastas play them when i was younger it reminds me of the Caribbean :). The originals were invented in Trinidad & Tobago 1930's but the new generation the "hang drums" developed in Switzerland in 2001.

[@benjwgarner]

+TorrentOfficial It's the same reason that the "steel drum" is more properly called the "steel pan". "Drum" implies a monotonic rhythm instrument. I get their point, but it seems about as useful as screaming at people that panda "bears" aren't bears and that pencil "lead" isn't lead. Those fit in the "interesting things that you should really know" category rather than the "correct anyone you hear saying this" category.

[@waynep1178]

Video was too short

[@swiftrush5540]

I just love how he play it putting all his feelings in it..jus wonderfull ..

[@sdmugabe]

So beautiful! Good job man!

[@phitwenty7318]

lmao no likes

Hats off Bro !!!! Keep it up !!

[@wipout1]

1. Take big wok 2. tablespoon of canola oil 3. heat to 180 degrees 4. throw in half cup of popping corn 5. Same outcome

[@CaptainPrincess]

This is not unbelievable at all I totally believe it But in all seriousness it's just an upside-down steel drum it's cool but not all that special

[@raquelcamargo]

lol, believe is true. This is amazing! I have a similar DISCO SOADOR Here, in Brazil, this is named ""Discos Soadores"" and is making for Tico Perkuteria, an new local music . fb.com/discossoadores

[@king0kong]

Raquel Camargo actually it's called a Hang. from germany. it's quite a different instrument from the discos soadores. they don't even look the same. are of different sizes. sound different. priced differently. one is played by hands, the other by mullets.

[@leorocky3739]

luv it man

[@alelhiimarroquin9826]

Love da instrument... so original, and I have to say that I love his hair, eyes n such a nice smile... need to go to London!!!!

For any Daniel Waples enthusiasts, the melody he's playing at 0:10 is actually a faster version of the melody he plays at 3:07 in his track called "Yankade".
