🎵 Do you know what a Hang Drum is? 🎵

in #art7 years ago (edited)


Today, I heard the most beautiful sounds played by a hang drum. I have never seen this instrument, and it was such a magical moment when I stumbled upon a young gentlemen who was playing his hang drum.

The hang drum was invented in early 2000, and this musical instrument is pretty rare to find. The hang drum originated from Switzerland, and is made out of steel. It kinds of looks like a UFO space ship. To play the hang drum, you must strike the instrument in a quick flicking motion with your fingers.

I was so mesmerized by this instrument. I've recorded a Dtube video of the young gentlemen who played us a song. It was such an honor to hear him play. Enjoy!

What fun instruments do you like to listen to?

That is pretty awesome I think I may have heard it once before, can't recall if it was a hang drum, a steel drum, or hand pan. They all make an amazing sound when played by someone with some experience.

Yes it is! I always say they sound like a mix of a harp and a steal drum and chimes! Love it.

I love the sound of handpans. One thing though you'll often see online about these is what the proper name of it is. The "Hang" was the original and basically the brand name of the original. Since then, other companies started making them but they go by "handpans." So, a Hang is the original that is no longer made and a lot more expensive to get your hands on. This is a "handpan" or "handpan drum" :)

ahhh I did learn that there were a couple ways to call these instruments. Thanks for sharing! :)

Hang actually means hand... i dont remember if that is a Swiss word though. Learnes this when i was studying this drum before buying one.

Hang drum sounds great if you can play it good. I like your captivating smile a lot and wish you more success. Feel free to check out my posts - I wish you a successful week.

hahah I tried to play it... not that good. My sounds were pretty muffled!
