This is such an amazing video! The instrument he’s using is a hang drum. It’s only available in Switzerland and it depends on the manufacturers when they make them. It’s super duper limited and I really, really, REALLY wanna have one. It sounds and feels easy to play. I’m not interested with drums (I’d rather play the piano or try the guitar HAHA) but this instrument is sooo amazing!
If I get my hands on one of these, I’m gonna play no matter what! I studied notes before in my piano class but unfortunately I forgot them. I might not need them anyway, cause from what I see, to be able to play this instrument all you really need is rhythm & coordination. That’s something I sometimes have. Haha.
Some people make their own hang drums but it doesn’t sound the same (according to Youtube). I tried searching for videos, but they only know how to make steel drums. I wanna know what they do to make this hang drum really special. Huhuhu
When I grow up (with money, of course), I’ll visit Switzerland and find this amazing instrument, bring it back home with me, then quit my job and play in the streets of Manila. I won’t even ask for money to play. Marking this on my bucket list!
