[@Sirmenonottwo]

It sounds like every documentary about the rain forest I watched in grade school.

[@GoodxJ]

😂

[@jenbrown1362]

🤣🤣

[@Halinspark]

Percussion always has the most interesting instruments. "Im sick of hitting wood with sticks, what else have we got?" "More wood." "Fuck it, lets get fancy with it then."

[@sauledcoch8156]

I'm getting an extremely chill Howie Mandel vibe.

[@PikaPetey]

I love the toungue

[@richardthomas7900]

Tongue drum sounds more like something you see on urban dictionary.

[@piperuk5366]

Ewwwww 🤣👍

[@AnthonyCarrera]

Keep an open mind and you'd be amazed what each instrument is capable of.

[@thesmellycatjazz]

Anthony Carrera It's pretty much an oddly shaped wooden xylophone.

[@AnthonyCarrera]

Tone wise thats a pretty good comparison, just doesn't have the same range, but also WAY easier to transport.

[@thesmellycatjazz]

Anthony Carrera I wanted to initially say kalimba (thumb piano), but the mechanic are different. But they're all percussive instruments

[@AnthonyCarrera]

yea it sounds similar to kalimba too, mechanically totally different. That is one thing I love about these kind percussion instruments though, they all relate because its percussive.

[@sangitasingh8292]

Anthony Carrera stfu

[@rickym8230]

Its so crazy how such a small thing, Can make such a beautiful tone

[@RolandDuke]

Man I can't tell ya how much I appreciate your channel been playing drums since the early 90s and now with KZbin the mystery is unlocked with these instruments and your execution of that knowledge is outstanding sir.

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thank you! Love the good feedback.

[@elaineandbobwhittam1727]

Where has this been all my life?! Such a beautiful instrument and incredible teacher! LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@luismagana1742]

Amazing as always.

[@Lightforth]

Behold, the minecraft soundtrack machine.

[@XxChR0NiCxX420]

sooo nobody else thought he was about to play it with his tongue?

[@frostywasp1743]

xI zChronic Ix me to... dislike lol

[@TheTobyrobot]

That's so cool! What a nice sound. And the tonalities blew my mind.

[@loganunthinkable7142]

Mr clean

[@pjs-1287]

[@zuroony8181]

[@quodlibetful]

I have had a drum like this for years but I had no idea how cool it was. Thank you.

[@TuttoHobby]

Beautiful sound!

[@leahwhitmire8761]

Omg, Kalani, I LOVE your videos ans especially this one! Purchasing supplies for a new MT program and this is so helpful giving me an idea of the possibilities of the instrument and a variety of uses! You also have such a bright spirit that makes sharing, learning, listening and playing fun! Thank you!

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thank you!

[@awakeTooOften]

Wow, that sounds so cool! I kind of want to get one now. Great video!

[@Fangsinurface]

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Yes - Similar.

[@marinamisa6174]

I think I know what drum I’m gonna buy next! Such beautiful sounds!

[@bobsauce3116]

Tell me he doesn't look exactly like David Draiman from disturbed lol

[@Twice_Marvel]

Bob Sauce can't unsee.

[@jirapatthaenphromrat2910]

More like Howie Mandell from Deal OR NO DEAL??!

[@Pierre1SwE]

was gonna say that

[@ABigMetalFan]

Thanks... now that's all I see...

[@byronvisiado09]

getting more of a Mr. Clean vibe.

[@megpending6467]

Gorgeous instrument

[@CSAN33]

That has a really nice sound! Great video!

[@denisemcjunkins4391]

I just ordered a wood tongue drum today. I already have a hang drum or hand pan drum. Excellent video.

[@amjPeace]

I love to think one of these may be in my future!

[@carter...apollo147]

3:57 reminds me of the old Cartoon Network theme music haha!! I've had an old tongue drum for a long time but never knew what I could possibly use it for, this video was extremely informative. Thank you so much!

[@NotSoSilentPete]

Love your channel, super interesting :)

[@Pupsqueak3]

I got one of these forever ago! it came with some mallets and I've been trying to figure out how to play it for forever. I had no idea how to describe it decently enough to figure out what it's called to look it up. I'm so glad I found this video!!

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Great! Hope you enjoy your drum more than ever.

[@infertilepiggy5667]

play the original crash bandicoot theme

[@ErokLobotomist]

This is one of the most relaxing videos I've ever seen. Cheers from Canada!

[@LarryShone]

Fascinating instrument!

[@neerajsinghbhandari8609]

[@JeanClaudeWelche]

[@susanwelch3569]

[@TRUSTLIFENOW]

[@CraigMansfield]

[@hambaku7318]

very cool video, man!

[@bongoscongasantiquecashreg4544]

Cool love the sound of that!! Here is another cool idea you can play the tongue drum & add in a antique cash register with it yeah crazy but fun too!

[@ericmiranda9841]

Send that instrument to any Salsa Orchestra, in Puerto Rico. And you will see in a short time, an outstanding musical arrengements. Great video.

[@tyronebala7734]

I love it.. simply amazing. using you're index finger and you got music just like that. damn...

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thank you

[@LivTheWiz]

I would absolutely love to play that one day! it seems simple enough and intresting enough to try out.

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

It's made to be easy for anyone. Give it a try.

[@danwilson5630]

I love the faces he pulls when he plays :')

[@luigichiariello7565]

this was weirdly relaxing

[@wylnd]

0:11 ... Predator theme right there!

[@MrPlotz89]

great, now i want one

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Hardwood Music - Ask for the "Kalani" model.

[@derpderp9281]

Didn't know they were releasing new instruments, this is the first time I hear about tongue drums

[@soraimu0226]

とても癒されます。声も好き。

[@darkpassenger1980]

My drum instructor has a Mandile drum and that's what brought me here. Talk of Bill Bruford and "The Sheltering Sky" Cool stuff.

[@jasonl4003]

Good stuff ;) Ty

[@JacksterDude12]

I like what he plays/sings @ 4:10 sounds quite jazzy and reminded me of Take Five by Dave Brubeck, since I could count along in 5/4. Very cool! Although I loved the tone of these instruments from the start, I wasn't aware of what could be possible with them (seeing as I have an insanely poor concept of percussion and rhythm lol)

[@SY_Vlog24]

wow!! new to this channel.. subscribed.. really appreciate ur skills on playing this instrument 😍 nice and warm sound too.. (IMO it sounds like space drums)

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the channel.

[@shrikant-nh1do]

very nice i like it

[@zqxzqxzqx1]

Thanks for this vid. It will be a great help to me with my new steel tongue drum. Your wooden one has a great sound, and they're definitely on my "want" list. So is a looping machine--on top of my several, different percussion instruments--and I thought photography was an expensive hobby!

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@martinpaul8192]

original, jolie son, en France il est bien pénible et difficile de trouvé des instrument originaux !! Bravo et merci

[@gabriel_kyne]

Great video :)

[@joshuawhitley5819]

thank you Mr. Clean

[@creativeleo]

Wow 😳

[@jeremybarbarek9665]

That's cool

[@Rice0987]

Nice ethno trip-hop in intro!

[@jarmilasmidova549]

Wow 😍

[@joshuasullivan4742]

This is gonna be my next building project

[@maruftim]

I want to hear this 24 hours a day

[@nathannathan5735]

Okkkkkk Howie Mandel Mr. Clean looking ass, Deal Or No Deal lookin ass, wheel chair mind reader lookin ass, Caillou the adult years lookin ass

[@nathannathan5735]

I'm sorry

[@harrietgriffiths5002]

Nathan NATHAN "wheel chair mind reader looking ass" ... James Mcavoy?? 😂

[@apprenticeb8r8r93]

Nathan NATHAN caillou will never make it to adulthood

[@willymiranda5537]

Played 1 like more than 50 + years ago. There was mallets with the 1 I played. Liked it very much⁉️⁉️🥁🔥 WILLY CA 🦅🏍⚒☠️⚡️🌎🇺🇸👍🙏😎

[@joshuaestrada6042]

I so want that instrument

[@danielmolineux3644]

Hi mate. Thank you for the video, I enjoyed watching it. Could you please make a video on a steel tongue drum?

[@savvy_me]

It produces sound perfect for suspense psychological horror movie

[@xFlowerChild420x]

I like you. You're a good instructor. Subbed. :)

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thank you!

[@thadhoward]

I love my drum 🥁

[@UNSCPILOT]

Seems like these tips could be adapted nicely to steel tongue drums too, thanks!

[@Meminjo]

Wow! I didn't know Mr.Clean played the Tongue Drum!

[@matthewshelley1365]

Kalani, I saw you at a clinic at Guitar Center in Roseville, MI around 2000-2001. You were fantastic. I helped set up the overhead mic, strange the things that stick with us

[@clowngirlco]

Damn. Who knew that Mr. Clean was so good with instruments

[@worldsmostmediocre1745]

I was really hoping for a drum I could play with my tongue, but this one sounds pretty nice too

[@CXXFilms]

I'll use it for film score

[@youryogi]

With headphones on and eyes closed the first bit sounds like electronic Aphex Twin music

[@rickriffel6246]

It's closer to a xylophone than a drum!

[@rtharmon454]

shit that things fucking awesome

[@mikemike7397]

Now I know what instrument they used in the "Predator". Itch finally scratches

[@CarXStreetDriver]

maestro limpioooooo9oooooooooooo

[@corncobjohnsonreal]

I like that tiny bit of hair under his lips. it makes him look really cool

[@grantadler2131]

Mr. Clean, I found you!!

[@apprenticeb8r8r93]

i didnt know that the coach from whiplash could be so chill

[@JukesMcGee]

To create a tongue drum one must master the tongue-punch technique.

[@gamerspartans]

0:12 for predator theme music

[@Goyleguy266]

I love mr clean

[@time2killaspider]

The bit he's playing at 5:13 sounds like the background track of an instructional video... wait a minute.

[@conanbyrne5751]

of course he has a soul patch

[@kinnlikeskrt164]

i really wanna buy it
