Have to say, the quality of your videos is astonishing, the filming, the audio, the editing... amazing! Wow!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

@@ChrisDeJuanMusic Thanks Christian! The production takes a lot of time, but somehow feels like part of the creative expression, just like the music. :)

[@ChrisDeJuanMusic]

@@DavidKuckhermann I can imagine it takes long hours of hard work...but fun too! As you say, it's all part of your creative process... anyway, thanks for sharing your knowledge and making these amazing videos... please keep up the good work... it's inspiring! :)

That was DOPE. Great video David!

thanks PanSong!

[@ongyuxuan6989]

Odd time signatures are so underated

[@DavidKuckhermann]

I couldn't agree more! :)

[@jaivkoltun4948]

Yes, they add so much spice, and extra dimensions to music, that wonderful unpredictable element that goes, SURPRISE !!!

[@sebastiankuhnert3639]

Great job, David!

[@zmaupzy]

These lessons are really AWESOME! Thanks so much!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

thanks Zmaupzy! 🙏

[@jaivkoltun4948]

Awesome video David, with great practical demos and sweet melodies, love them all. I've been entranced by Eastern/Oriental music for quite a while now, and am realising just how many amazing uneven rhythms they encompass, creating such rich textures, accents and features, way beyond what's possible with the even 4 count. Thanks for inspiration to extend and expand my own range of compositions and timings and see how far down the rabbit hole we can go. . . Blessings. . .

[@corwyn]

Wow so many things to try ! the last one seems really tricky indeed. Thanks a lot for these!

[@a4gpa]

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your passion and gifts!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

You are so welcome!

[@bas_china7736]

Hi David, also really loved this video especially the Turkish part! You mentioned "hip-hop", how about doing a video to teach us some proper hip-hop grooves?? 😋

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Bazzer good idea. How to play in various genres. I’ll put it on the list :)

[@bodomdays]

Thank you so much for this! Incredibly helpful! I started looking into turkish music after watching this

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Then I did good. So much beauty in the Turkish music tradition! 👍

[@kuanchen2639]

This is awesome !!! though it's a bit too hard for me but it motivates me to practice more 😆 I've been watching your videos for years though I've never met you, but you absolutely are my best teacher thank you for uploading all the tutorials !!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

thanks for your kind words Kuan! 🙏 As I mentioned in the video, this one is definitely tricky. But I'll break things down on some of the rhythms and go slower in some of the upcoming episodes.

[@thisall4real]

Great tutorial. Although most of it way above my level just now. It gives me something to save for later and work towards. I also just love to see how these grooves are played by someone with your experience/skill. Thanks again.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Yea, this one is really tricky. As mentioned in the video, I'll break things down in some of the following weeks. :) Did you have a favourite?

[@thisall4real]

@@DavidKuckhermann Id say I like the sort of hiphop feel to the Turkish 9/8 at around 4:30 mark. Yeh would be nice to see some breakdowns for these.. Thanks.

[@juliaschafauer2953]

Wow, eine echte Herausforderung! Danke für das wunderbare Video. Auch wenn ich es noch nicht spielen kann, es macht Spass Dir zu zu schauen. Den Rhythmus erst mal mit den Händen klatschen ist eine gute Idee, um mal überhaupt ein Gefühl für den Rhythmus zu bekommen. Ich bleib erstmal bei 7/8 ;-))

[@tasim1]

Thank you. Not here yet. Gives me a goal. Love the Turkish rhythms.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

gotta love the Turkish 9!

[@jaivkoltun4948]

Yes the Turkish 9, classic, it's what got me hooked on these rhythms. . . Magic. . .

great tutorial, thank you

[@DavidKuckhermann]

You're welcome :)

[@Psalmist374DKR]

Man, I dig your rhythms... Makes me KNOW that my bizarre grooves COULD potentially work in a handpan. Doesn't change reality, but guess it's good to know and I can at least listen... I have this tendency to start with 1 rhythm and literally rip it completely apart in as many ways as possible and then eventually see if I can find my way back... Something I feel you may be familiar with, even in passing ;) PS you even make the cajon sound good PSS you just helped me figure out what it is that calls to me about these; the sound is so incredibly ancient and yet just as incredibly relevant... Like singing wisdom from thousands of years ago... Can almost picture King David playing one....

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Gotta love to play the rhythm puzzle! 😁 Thanks You mean cajon or handpans?

[@Psalmist374DKR]

@@DavidKuckhermann decidedly handpan... Funny you should compare rhythm to a puzzle; it's almost a 3 dimensional game of percussive Tetris to me While the wood to make the cajon would certainly have been widely available, hey we're also quite the metallurgists as well so potentially possible... Look at how complicated the salimbaa of the Philippines is and it was just recently recovered by Caleb Byerly (my friend, brother in Messiah and the luthier who replaced the soundboard of my 14 string lyre/harp). That instrument was ancient too.

[@okapital6483]

Thanks for the good school. We saw each other at the Baur & Brown Handpans Festival‿◕))

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Good times :)

[@joeljacq7486]

Thanks, David! Awesone lesson on these exotic rhythms that are challenging but well worth the effort. Could you tell me pls, did you modify that cajon with a cabasa on the side? Did you buy it complete? Cheers, mate.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Hey Joel, some of these attachments are custom made, but you can find them all in shops as well, by a German company called "Schlagwerk": kzbin.info/www/bejne/emqtZGuVftmqd5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2WyeXt7pq2tl5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHjad4V6mrF2n9E

Schönes Video, mir gefallen die ungeraden Taktarten ja sehr. Das erinnert mich an etwas: "Sieben Beats, wie soll das denn gehen? Ah, jetzt hab ich's: eins-zwei-drei-vier-fünf-sechs-sie-ben!" 😄 Lang ist's her. Herzliche Grüße von Susanne.

[@dream5talkerworld550]

David, brother, good to see You in 2020 👁Following your music and lessons since 2012. You look great. And your music and teaching are just amazing... such a great level of self devoting. I am more into Psychedelic trance music (hybrid from psytrance / world). And I play percussion a bit. Was learning on your lessons. And wanna say - one of the best video lessons. And I am also doing tutorials around music production. You are here to expand peoples vibrational structures, to give alternative rhythms. This is a great healing. Natural percussion is our future / ancient technology that we just starting to explore. Sound energy, combined with right mind-set and spiritual awakening will give a big force to those of us who can translate this energy. Have a great day. Man, love your art! You are blessed I am sure. And Nadishana. You both))) I know him. Took a private lesson in Bali. Great person. Great music. You are for me TOP musicians and composers. Bless You and your family. Let the force be with you. P.S. Will be great to make some music together. Let me know if you r keen... dream5talker.com dreamport.bandcamp.com

[@PercussionsduMonde]

Salut frère percussionniste ! Salut David, Je voulais te dire une 🙃chose : jusqu'à ce jour, les personnes que j' ai entendu jouer du handpan ne m' ont pas convaincus. Bien que le son de cet instrument est très agréable à l' oreille, le jeu de ces messieurs était extrêmement ennuyeux ... Et voilà que je tombe sur ta chaîne et là , je comprends tout le sens et la richesse de cet instrument un peu magique ! Tu m' as juste donné l' envie d' en acheter un. Je l' attends avec impatience... Tes cours m'auraient beaucoup intéressés car j' aime beaucoup aussi ton approche pédagogique mais je ne maîtrise que très peu l' anglais , hélas 😟... J' aurais 2 petite questions à te poser : 1 - Sur le rythme Samaï, tu utilises 2 handpan; celui de droite est- t-il à la même tonalité ( D minor ), je n' ai pas l' impression. 2 - Sur ton cajon, il y' a des accessoires supplémentaires. peux-tu me dire la marque ( référence ) de celui qui se trouve sur ta gauche ( pas la cabassa ) . Il me semble que c' est MD , mais je ne trouve rien sur le web. J 'espère recevoir une réponse prochainement et te remercie d' avance pour tout ce que tu fais et aussi ton grand talent. Musicalement PS : tu peux me répondre en Anglais. Merci d' avance 🙃

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Hi, glad to hear that you're enjoying the handpan music as well! 1) these instruments are tuned: D - A Bb C D Eb F# G A C and G - D Eb F# G A Bb C D 2) this one is self-made

[@nayannmandaya]

I don't play handpan. I'm a guitarist. And, I love this tutorial! It helps me a bit more to understand odd rythms and to apply them to my instrument! I wish you will broaden your tutorial to "rythms" in general, konakol, or music philosophy and mindset... Wish you the best bro :) And I'm looking forward for the next lessons! Thanks

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Nayann Guilloux awesome! 👍 I am actually considering a complete online course on the topic of rhythm, independent of the instrument

[@nixheb]

Hi David, talking about Rhythm : is there any good book on the topic, like an encyclopedia of some sort ? I would like to experiment with all different sorts of beats (and you videos are absolutely amazing on that point !) and having some kind of a "reference chart" whould be helpfull. Some "rhythms from all around the wordl", classified by family, complexity... Hope you will have the time to drop and answer ! ;)

[@natalikozvuk]

Hi, David! Thank you for lessons! I like 7/8 and 5/8. And thanks to you can use it when play jawharp 😁
