These exercises feel awkward in the beginning, but you should feel a substantial difference already after a few days. I hope you can stick with them and they help you to improve your playing! Is it difficult for YOU to get even a simple pattern to work or is it going quite ok from the beginning? It would be super interesting if you come back after a few days and let me know if you feel an improvement already! :)
I've been working on this since you uploaded the video. Within these two weeks what seemed frustrating and impossible has become very achievable and fun. Thanks
Thank you David... Had a small surgery on my right hand ao cant play for a couple of weeks.. was itching to play something and landed up on this video... Perfect time to strengthen my left hand 😊❤️
You are like a handpan Jedi. Subscribed! Thank you. My hand pan is on the way and I am consuming your videos. I appreciate you taking the time out of your life to teach us padawans. Cheers and health...
Thank you for this excellent lesson. It makes you step back and refocus. I learned some traditional drums and this forced you to play all limbs and frustrating at first but necessary. Now, l play HP and l still find weaknesses in the left. This exercise here builds the mental muscle also required for development.
Very kind of you to share these free tutorials, David. Thank you so much! I'll committ to these exercises for some days and get back to you to share any improvement :)
I really love your videos! Improving the weaker hand feels realy awkward und my brain freaks out :D But stepping out of the comfortzone is alsways the best you can do. Thank you so much for the additional videos to you Handpan Dojo, that I use to learn how to play my handpan.
@@DavidKuckhermann estoy viendo tus cursos en handpandojo.com y no sé si comprar alguno, el problema es que no hablo inglés y no sé si entendería bien. Tienes que sacar una versión en idioma español o yo aprender inglés.jeeje
Спасибо за урок. Очень интересно. Инструмента еще нет, но тренируюсь на деревяшке. Когда-нибудь смогу купить этот замечательный инструмент. Еще раз спасибо за урок. Простите за мой плохой английский. Thanks for the lesson. Very interesting. I don't have a tool yet, but I'm training on a piece of wood. Someday I will be able to buy this wonderful tool. Thanks again for the lesson. Sorry for my poor English.
I don't have a weak hand - since playing piano for decades... I am left handed naturally... long ago teachers back in 1969 and early 1970s from kindergarten to 2nd grade attempted to force me to be right handed and for awhile I was ambidextrous but stuck to my left hand as a teacher later on thought it was ridiculous to force me to be right handed... as I was different with inherent abilities, high IQ, and advanced artistically... I play by ear and compose my own music... Thanks for sharing...
Well, that makes me crazy. )) I've spent about 15 minutes only to start playing the groove (the third exercise) slowly with the right leading hand, and when I've started to try the left hand as the leading one I've found that each time I want to start the next sequence back with the right hand again! :D :D :D
@@DavidKuckhermann Not sure if my left hand gained a new level of freedom but after several evenings I've managed to play the groove from the 3rd exercise at a moderate tempo!
David Kuckhermann oh nooo that’s so sad! Forgive me to ask but why would you sell this masterpiece knowing that there is only 3 in the world and that it will never be made again? I mean the sound that he provided was unique 🤭🤔
The slap sound depends on the individual instrument quite a bit. On some instruments you don't get the nice and clear accent. The amount of ringing can be influenced by your technique, but the instrument is a factor here as well. Without seeing you play, it's hard to say what the reason is for the ringing sound
@@DavidKuckhermann Thank you, I just wanted to know your opinion. I suspected that it could be partially on the instrument side. I've been learning for 2 weeks for now so my technique isn't much better as well. Thank you for your videos it helps a lot as I have 0 musical background and have to learn all the terms and explanations.
Problems is, I’m new to handpan playing and naturally left handed. ALL instruction is right hand dominant. And my brain gets a little stuck sometimes! But I’m gonna keep trying!
Thank you for your instructive handpan lessons! Now I have a question: Did you have any difficulties like overstrain? Could you give a clue how to prevent a typewriter's cramp? I mean, anything but practicing less ;-)
Do you have an amara c# by any chance you could do some tutorials with? I feel that scale would be slightly more engaging to listen to throughout the tutorial
That's a question I'm also pondering. So far I'm sticking to the D-Kurd, because a) it's probably the most common scale and b) I imagine, sticking to the same instrument makes it easier to get used to it and transfer the material to whichever instrument you're playing on. The downside is that it is not as interesting to listen to, changing instruments would be better in that regards. It's an open question, but many people seem to appreciate that I stick to the same scale, because it makes learning the patterns easier for them.
They have been difficult to get in the past years and not many stores sell them. There are more options now, but you still don't see them in stores much.
There will definitely be more content for handpandojo. Those courses are a step-by-step guide - all the videos build on each other. The curriculum is similar to how I would work with a private student building up skill and musical ability. These RUclips videos each cover a specific subject in 5-10 minutes. They work great as addition to the handpandojo courses, but can also work independently. Some of the videos will be probably be integrated into the handpandojo courses with additional material in the future.

Cheers Emanuel, you're welcome. Which handpan are you getting?
@@DavidKuckhermann it is an 8 note(D) Terrapan.

Another very useful lesson. Thanks for sharing your skills and experience, with such good humour too.
Such a pleasure! 🙏

Outstanding my friend! All your lessons are great! Thank you, These lessons are also great for RAV Drum players like myself.
Thank you Doran! Good to hear that they work for your RAV playing as well! 👍
super effective ✌🏽
Glad to hear that the exercises work for you!👍

Good for you John. It's not cool trying to force kids to do things right-handed. Glad to hear you later had a teacher that was smarter than that! 👍
Great lesson...... I will be getting my Handpan next week 😊 by the way, I am from India.

Those videos really intersesting thank you! Are you going to do a video or a song with your spacedrum custom steve shehan model?
I passed that instrument on quite a while ago. It was indeed quite a character. 🙂

Hi David, thanks for the video. would you be able to say what could be the reason that ma slap sound rings the notes no matter where I hit?

Problems is, I’m new to handpan playing and naturally left handed. ALL instruction is right hand dominant. And my brain gets a little stuck sometimes! But I’m gonna keep trying!
Whats the name of that amazing groove? Haligi?
I love it! I'm a left-handed... ;-)
Hehe, awesome! 😁
Thank you for your instructive handpan lessons! Now I have a question: Did you have any difficulties like overstrain? Could you give a clue how to prevent a typewriter's cramp? I mean, anything but practicing less ;-)
Hey Maven,

@@DavidKuckhermann that's true. Everyone here in Barcelona has a d kurd too so I guess it's the most popular one
Ups, I have to destroy the 69, but 70 is also fine!
Thanks
I have never seen these drums for sale - what's the deal?
They have been difficult to get in the past years and not many stores sell them. There are more options now, but you still don't see them in stores much.
Are you stepping away from paid courses then? Or will there be more content for handpandojo? Whats the difference?
There will definitely be more content for handpandojo.
