You're very welcome! I will upload videos soon on simple songs that I use to teach to my younger students. have a blessed day! oh and yes...using very , very simple chords.
So good , I just received one as a gift for Christmas. And im so enchanted by the sounds that are created when you have a flow of many chords in harmony . I'm following you now . Ready for more.
ooooo congrats on your new drum! So exciting! Welcome to the world of tongue drum! I remember the first.....the very very first time I played one.......Just say- I was blown away. Mesmerized and got lost in the ethereal sounds! Have a blessed day!
SUPER HELPFUL!! I've been stuck at pentatonic scale I think its called for a couple days now, I'm so glad for this video explaining different chords so easily. Your channel is so helpful, thank you so much. If you ever make a video on how to make your own rhythms and beats, I would love that so much
Hello! And thank you! just to add, NOT ALL Amazon drums are like that. I know that HLURU has a true D Major scale..... Always ask the seller for the notes description. Have a blessed day!
This is a great video! I have been looking for this kind of information ever since I bought my steel tongue drum. Knowing how to play chords is a game changer. Please make more videos like this ❤
Oh my goodness! This is amazing! Thank you for explaining the numbers. I did buy a beginners book to go with my drum but I was starting to get worried.
I just checked mine, I got it for Christmas, and it is also tuned to D Major. I got it from Amazon, and it’s a Hopwell, or Hopewell or something like that.
enthese tongue drums are great for stress and also make up your own tunes. but if anyone wants to a tuned drum thrn buy an expensive one. but for me i only want to learn and have fun! :)
Both C and D drums appear to be a major scale when the notes in order start with the labelled note. in that case, the D drum has not F but F# and C will not be Cm, but C# making the scale progression for each correct as the drum is labelled.
The factory labeled their drums as they see "fit". There are no quality control when it comes down to these mass produced drums. I see it all the time when my student brought in their tongue drums from Amazon etc D major scale are supposed to have 2 sharps(#). So the best explanation I can and do give them- to just pretend that all the tongues here are the white keys of the piano. Initially, in the beginning- all the mass produced drums are 8 notes(in the very very beginning or as daughter wd say- back in the days). Chinese traditional music is based on a pentatonic scale, which is a five-note scale. The most used pentatonic scale in Chinese music is the gong hexatonic scale, which consists of the notes C, D, E, G, A, and C. When they decided to make bigger drums- they just add the #4(F) and #7(B)
Hello. As long as you purchased yours through Amazon Prime. Download a tuner on your phone so you can check the notes. In the video, the RED drum is a HLURU.
GM. Yup, it's a HLURU. But I have other tongue drums as well. Honestly, the HLURU is NOT a bad drum. The sounds are acceptable. The great thing about the Amazon tongue drums- they are durable. Definitely endured the "beating" of my wild daughter and others. The sounds are OK.....some people said that - the bigger the drum....the better/louder the sounds. Yes, to a degree - when it comes down to artisan tongue drums-RAV,Pulsar etc. In this case- the HLURU may be "bigger" than most on Amazon. Yes, It's wider.....but it's not as tall as many other tongue drums on Amazon. Most of the drums sold on amazon are "tank drums".....a term coined from 2 propane/gas tanks welded together. The height(tall) allow the sounds to resonate better.The Hluru in the vid- is basically "trying" to mimic the tongue drum(Rav Vast, Pulsar, Art Quint etc). if I was to compare the HLURU to other tongue/tank drums- "other 11"" drum(s) are/will have better resonance than the HLURU. check out my other vid- ruclips.net/video/pN73K5-hDxM/видео.html
it's complicated when it comes to these massed produced drums. in music theory.....the D major scale--> D, E, F♯, G, A, B, and C♯. But these massed produced makers DO NOT follow that! They label it based on the lowest note on the drum! say you have a 14 notes drum.....it will start on a C.....for 2 octaves. And....the D drum....wil start on a D- for 2 octaves(14 notes)! Basically said, there are no difference in scale. EG: theory.
I don't own one but did play one a while back. It's a great drum.Have nothing bad to say about it. I like the fact that it has wonderful overtones....and a DING! Am planning on making tutorial soon on songs in D Minor..Have a blessed day!
Thank you 🙏 after a bit of digging I found some of those in Germany. I have the same one you have but in purple. Another one is coming soon with 21 notes🎉🎉
I am a guitarist. Comprehending music thory, when a Cord is sounded that means more than only one sound played at the same moment or withing the movement to sing simoltainiously. I love drums yet, the actual difference between Percussion and String instruments terms and meaning are nwe to me. Will you explain if available, thanx!
A triad is a special type of chord made of three notes: a root, third, and fifth. So said...in music theory...a chord consists of 3 different pitches/notes. A dyads will consist of 2 pitches/notes.a chord can be a movement of the "three" notes that "goes together". EG- strumming or picking on a guitar. The guitar and these tongue drums similarities- they both make sounds through vibration: guitar strings vibrating when plucked/picked or strummed and on the tongue drum- tongues vibrating upon" tapping". In somewhat simple, complicated terms- A string instrument has typically strings and we have to strum, pluck or bow to produce vibrations. Eg-guitar, violin etc.. The percussion family is defined as one part of the instrument being hit together, or with a mallet or stick to create sound. Eg-tongue drum, xylophone piano, cymbals etc..
Hello hello hello! I custom made those for my handpans/tonguepans. I made 2 dozen hahaha. The only one selling them right now is Zen Percussion/Guda but its too pricey(with shipping: over $65). Was thinking about selling my mine for about $25. I ll keep everyone posted when I get my online store up.
It sounds like that's a real D drum. That means it's made for the D scale. Normally like he was saying a drum marketed as a "D" drum just has numbers which start on the note of D listed as number 1 but still has the C scale which in that case would be D as 1 and E as 2 and then F G A B and back to C and D. But yours starts on D and has D C# and probably E and then F# and then G and then A and then B and then C# and then back to D. So it's an actual D major scale tuned instrument. Major scales have the interval pattern of T T S T T T S. That means a full tone from the first note to the second, then another Tone, then only a Semi-Tone, another Tone, another Tone, another Tone, and then only a Semi-Tone and then back to the original note. So if we start our scale on the note D we must go from D to E skipping over D# because we need a full tone interval in our scale pattern, not just a semi tone. Then we need another full one so while you would think we simply go from E to F it needs to be an F sharp because on the piano the E and F are right next to each other with no black piano keys between and so going from E to F is only a semi-tone and not a full tone. So the scale to that point would look like D, E, F#. Now we need to go to G, but it can't be a G# because that's a full tone difference and we need a semi-tone interval as part of the major scale pattern so we just go to a regular G. Now we need another full tone and that lands us on a regular A. Another one gets us to a regular B. And now we need another full tone, but B and C are right next to each other so we have to reach up to C#. And that completes the D Major scale as... D E F# G A B C# and then a higher D to repeat the scale and so on. So you might wonder why the drum is tuned this way. It makes it easier to play along with songs written with the D scale or you could say songs written in the Key of D or easier for people who more naturally sing in that key to sing along with your instrument. It also allows you to play the chord of D Major which is made up of the notes D F# and A. That chord is impossible to play on a C tuned instrument because the C tuned instrument wouldn't have an F# at all. Now just like how a C tuned drum (having the scale of CDEFGAB) can play A minor (ABCDEFG) easily since neither key has any flats or sharps a D tuned drum (D E F# G A B C#) is you can play the key of B minor also (B C# D E F# G A). So you can play songs written in B minor and D very easily. But it's important to understand that technically you can play any song written in a major or minor key anyway regardless of which key or scale your instrument is tuned to, but you'll have to transpose the song. Luckily by using a numbering system transposition is automatic. So if the song starts 123 which on the C drum would be C D E on your drum it would just be D E F#. It would sound different if you were playing along side a C tuned drum since your 123 is different than his 123, but if you play alone you'd never know the difference because the intervals between the notes are the same since both instruments are tuned with the intervals used in the major scale, just in different keys. So you aren't limited at all by having a D tuned drum. It's just that your starting note is different so you can play F# and C#, but not F natural and C natural whereas with a C tuned drum a person can't play any sharps or flats at all. I hope that explains things without confusing you even more.
I purchase my Amazon D rum and checked it with a tuner. I must say except for one tongue, E5 which is out of tune (I am going to fix it with a saw) it is true to the scale. There are always exceptions to the rule, I guess.😊
@@janseendiguiseppiThomasMC I saw 😂 this video suggesting a saw before I knew my drum was magnetic. Happy to find out it is. Got the magnets, not the saw and the sound is now beautiful across the scale because I micro tuned all notes. Having said that the top two notes does not sound out well enough to my ear so I taped them to not sound. My next drum will be a branded one Nova I think, but I'll have to save up for about a year it is expensive. 🥁
hey....so what's the outcome? Did u use the saw or the drum is can be "magnetized"? I am going to make a video soon on how to "fix the tongues/sounds" from sounding "muted".
@@maxandchloemeditation it’s a NVIVN 22” from Amazon most the reviews were positive and apparently Amazon are ok with returns so if it doesn’t sound right I should get my money back. It was around £250 but the ones I liked were at least double that price so I’m hoping it will be a good first handpan 😀
@@keithturner9047 definitely download a tuner to your mobile device. Test out each note- see if they are all in tune. If it’s from Amazon, I am assuming that it’s a d minor right? Enjoy the handpan!
GM....haha u tried it with a tuner? YUP, the F note is slightly on the flat side- after being "hammered" by so many kids. But surprisingly still in tune(just a tiny veered to sharp). Still sounded good for an inexpensive, battle proven drum! have a blessed day!
well...arpeggios is the correct terminology. Since most of us play the tongue drums with mallets- its impossible to play 3 notes chords with 2 mallets. we can use DYADS......
@@maxandchloemeditation Hey, thank you for answering. What is DYADS? You could use 3 mallets for tritones. Mallets are okay. I like it more when the body is imparted in playing, that has more feel and a different sound and much more technical possibitlity. Enjoy playing. :)
I have the same tongue drum. I do not agree with your C and D explanation. C and D nearly almost means C scale and D scale. Your Hluru 14 tone drum has f(4‘), g (5‘), a (6‘), b (7‘), c’ (1), d’ (2), e’ (3), f’ (4), g’ (5), a’ (6), h’ (7), c“ (1“), d“ (2“) e“ (3“). That is true C scale. So it begins with "f".There are also many 15 tones C scale tongue drums and they will beginn with e(3'), f(4') and so on. If it was a D scale, it would begin with g @3' or f#/fis @4' (depending if you have a 14 or 15 tone drum). Please use a chromatic tuner (e.g. soundcorset app for Android) and you will see the difference
And I totally agree with you 100%! In music theory, the D scale(D major) will have 2 #s. I am referring to HOW these mass produced tongue drums are labeled and being sold on Amazon. I played on a drum that one of my student got from Amazon, the #1 tongue is a D, #2 tongue in an E! So these non musical company labeled their drum on which tongue they labeled as #1! In music theory, it’s a C major drum but labeled by factory as a D drum. That’s the confusing part with a lot of these drums that are being sold on Amazon. All said, it’s super confusing because they are a few true D drums but they never said whether it’s a D major or D minor. I only encountered 1 Amazon drum- with a D engraved at the bottom- and it was a D minor.

@@nichttuntun3364 no....DYADs or DIADs are only 2 notes. Goggle DYAD- Have a great day!
I have the same tongue drum. I do not agree with your C and D explanation. C and D nearly almost means C scale and D scale. Your Hluru 14 tone drum has f(4‘), g (5‘), a (6‘), b (7‘), c’ (1), d’ (2), e’ (3), f’ (4), g’ (5), a’ (6), h’ (7), c“ (1“), d“ (2“) e“ (3“). That is true C scale. So it begins with "f".There are also many 15 tones C scale tongue drums and they will beginn with e(3'), f(4') and so on. If it was a D scale, it would begin with g @3' or f#/fis @4' (depending if you have a 14 or 15 tone drum). Please use a chromatic tuner (e.g. soundcorset app for Android) and you will see the difference
And I totally agree with you 100%! In music theory, the D scale(D major) will have 2 #s. I am referring to HOW these mass produced tongue drums are labeled and being sold on Amazon. I played on a drum that one of my student got from Amazon, the #1 tongue is a D, #2 tongue in an E! So these non musical company labeled their drum on which tongue they labeled as #1! In music theory, it’s a C major drum but labeled by factory as a D drum. That’s the confusing part with a lot of these drums that are being sold on Amazon. All said, it’s super confusing because they are a few true D drums but they never said whether it’s a D major or D minor. I only encountered 1 Amazon drum- with a D engraved at the bottom- and it was a D minor.
