I like your videos. Just a small tip, you might want to consider positioning the mic closer to you or use a dedicated recorder (Zoom H1N, H2N ect.) instead of using the mic from your camera/phone. It's quite hard to hear clearly what you are saying.
@@ReWildYourSoul Awesome mate! H6 is a decent recorder. Also, in your audio post production, please remember to perform Mastering or Normalise the audio level so that the sound will boosted while keeping the noise low. I've lost count of the number of recordings online I've witnessed with fabulous videos/contents but let down audio.
Great channel, very much enjoying your work. Having owned two Pans and two Ravs, I'd definitely choose a Rav over a pan any day (in fact, that's exactly what I did!). The sustain on Ravs outshines even the very best Pans, and the sound is just far deeper and more mysterious. Pans, are to my mind, a little too bright and have a steel-drum sound - which is okay, but not something I connected with, it gives everything a slightly "cheesy" Hawaiian holiday mood. Ravs are definitely more akin to a bell or a music box, and just sound more otherworldly. Throw in the smaller size and infinitely less hassle of a Rav and it's a no-brainer. No tuning, no worries about accidental drops, no expensive retunes etc. The culture surrounding Pans is horribly elitist also - which is a little silly for instruments that really are very simplistic. The Rav community seems far more friendly and decent. As for PanArt, my dealings with them have been terrible - an absolutely awful company that I'd recommend everyone avoids. Rav on the other hand, couldn't be more helpful and decent. Only thing I miss from a Pan is being able to bend notes and get that tabla feel. However, the Rav makes up for this with the lovely octave tones.
Either sounds beautiful..but i prefer the rav drum cos it has more tunes than handpan and also the shape is slimmer so its easier to carry everywhere and play it wherever we want..
I agree! Each has its particular place that it is best for. The issue of durability is a huge deal for me, as I bring these to mountains, waterfalls and other more extreme places, than some of players do. I hear you and absolutely get your point. 🙏🎶
Thank you for making this video! Since I was a child, I’ve always wanted to play drums & flute, but never got around to it/I was told not to, but now I am ready to follow these passions. Thanks for these lessons, and making my dreams easier to accomplish! :)
I prefer the rav more, It just has that "zen-liness" to it. And immediately as I hear the sound, I imagine that im playing the rav alone in a rich bamboo forest.
Yes! If you are going to teach yourself, try and explore the instrument for a while and get to know it. I have a bunch of free Rav and Handpan tutorials as well! If you end up looking for lessons, I offer zoom lessons for both 😉 I think the melodic/ songwriting end will take you farther than the solely percussion approach taught by most. Most of importantly, just discover it yourself!
Hey! The handpan is an Overtone Pan from Russia. There are tons of brands now that are readily available. I would definitely check out this video to understand the differences! ruclips.net/video/t1AlEQiJMps/видео.html&lc=UgywF8rWIN_9PlzIphB4AaABAg&ab_channel=ReWildYourSoul
Thank you! Great video and very useful information. Please noted that on minute 9 the video went black and there is no audio (exactly when you are explaining prices and brands). Great job!
A good comparison/overview overall, although I think you you could focus a bit more on what each instrument can and cannot do (as well as the other). You touched on the subjects, for example sustain and percussiveness but didn't compare them as in depth as you did with durability. I liked that you presented the objective differences between the instruments instead of just playing both and pointing out that they sound different from each other like I have seen in other comparisons. Also you forgot to post the link :D I hope I don't sound overly critical, I really appreciate your videos, both ones like these and especially the music and tutorials.
I hear you man, not at all overly critical. I have been getting feedback that some of my stuff is too in depth for general consumption, so I did not go into it too far. But i will keep this in min as well :)
Awesome blog Thankyou . I own two Rav’s so far, and a couple other still drums. The rav is my top choice and still is . I first got interested in hand pans but didn’t purchase right away then came across the Rav’s , I thought that I’d finally buy the Rav’s handspan (which is a beautiful instrument) but with this blog, still , for me , still feels like I made the best choice buy purchasing the Rav. Thankyou for this comparison by having it in one room which acoustically gave each instrument equal air and space. So with my not purchasing the pan , I’ll be ordering my next Rav today. Thanks again .

@@ReWildYourSoul Many thanks ! Have you done one on a RAV A Integral ?? Would love to see what you play on that. I'm thinking of getting one to go with my D min. hand pan.
I do! here are a few videos using it. I have a review for Rav's youtube page, but not one of this, but I can certainly make one! Here are a few videos using the integral ruclips.net/video/W7allFjqXDM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Y7BDrV_dvOs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/0wJmJxokGeU/видео.html
Same but totally different ;) It's like comparing a spanish guitar with an electric guitar; both are guitars, each in her own way. A handpan is a variation on a steel drum, the RAV is more of a tongue drum with a soundbowl like sustain. It's more blendy and you can (easier) play meditative and slow with it, as well as funky and percussive. I played on my RAV and it got immediately confiscated by an two experienced hangplayers (They went WOW!) one actually begged to borrow it for his upcoming gigs. They were impressed by the character and sound. I got a 2nd Generatin Panart Hang in return, so I can compare now. I like playing the hang (or rather learning it ;) it's different in tone en style, very upbeat and but I do prefer my RAV for the same reasons as you. Althou my teenage kids prefer the bright, punchy character of the Hang. The Hang guys played beautiful on teh RAV but had to learn to slow down, since the RAV also shines in slower 'sustain' and the combination of percussive style and slower bits can be great too. Actually, I would like to o
The hang is such a different sound! If you get a chance, would be curious to hear the one you have! I agree about the Rav, I find it works exceptionally well for meditation an for songwriting and more meditative playing because of that sustain. It is interesting how each instrument requires a slightly different touch! Thanks for watching 🎶🔑🙏
Good! Glad to help! I have tons more videos that are a bit more recent than this one, about Handpans and Ravs, so check those out too if you wanted more info! Ricky
Hey Friend, Your beeing and of course your Videos/Content are very appreciated. Thank you! Just purchased my first RAV and used your affiliate link ;) Lots of magic!
On my next visit you’ll have to bring a handpan for me to try, I am still more partial to the sound of the RAV as to my ears they are less pingy or tinny. Great video, very informative and reall makes me want to try a handpan. Aloha!
That’s the fun of playing different instruments. Someone with control over the instruments can dampen or increase sustain depending on the technique, 😉 Check out some of the more recent videos for examples! Sustain does not inherently equal mudiness, especially if you are not simply a drummer based player!
@@ReWildYourSoul That would be me: digital drum kit experience, looking to acquire either a rav or hand pan. The durability and keeping in tune for the Rav is a big plus for taking it hiking and camping.
Hey, NL here. You are hoing to have to make a clise up of how you hit those partial notes. Ive never heard them separate so elegantly and exactly. Any tips???
Hey! I do gave a video in the tutorial play list, talking about isolating the harmonics. Will post that here when I find it! I really just figured it out by experimenting with the tongues and eventually found the best place for both hands.
eventually, yes it will. It all depends on how you play it. Buskers or just those with heavy hands, likely need re-tunes more often than those who are more pokers, rather than slappers. Once of the main reasons I make ravs my primary travel instrument is just that, worrying about detuning. if you drop a rav , it may be a bit scuffed, but not out of tune, while a handpan would likely be completely out of tune, if it hit the tone fields! Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
ReWildYourSoul thanks for answering my question. That kinda sux, I would hate to pay 1000 plus for something that goes out of tune considering how difficult it would be tune. I mean, you beat it with a hammer to tune basically, right? I realize its more complex than that, but thats the general idea? I was about to pull the trigger on one until I saw your vid.
Yes, they are tuned through tension in the steel. There are around ten or (maybe more now) tuners in the US and they usually cost around 100-200 for a retune, however, often if an instrument is purchased from a maker, the retunes are rather cheap. You would not regret one either way! They are both amazing, I just find the Rav more practical for me.
wanting to start, liking the celtic scale but after seeing the massive price differences, some are £200-£300 then others like £1000 why is this? are there dangers buying one under £300?
Hey my friend. Celtic is a great choice! Where are you seeing them sold for 2-300? I would buy directly from their site, either through the link in my description, or just looking online. Resellers are marking them up, so you are paying an average of 1-300 more. I definitely recommend buying as direct as possible!
Hey, I like your channel and your vibe and when I buy one would like to support you. However, I would have to do it on credit and only have an amazon card with this much allowance. So I was wondering if you have an amazon link(I'm horrible, I know, but hopefully this will change my life and then I can support small business lol).
I would not want to be slowed by an instrument, when I am wanting to express. With rav, I believe, the longer sustain requires you to slow(to allow opt mixing of notes) and then the fun is missing. HandPan is just the Balance. It has acquired an optimum amount of sustain(longer than other music instrument) but also provides option for increasing your speed, if you want to. Team: HandPan !
Sustain is something you can control through technique as well! It all depends on ability level and desire. For drummer, really anything will do, as the focus is percussion. For people who want to create music, whether Rav or handpan, they will be able to work with it! I love the both equally depending on my writing and performance mood 🙏
Thank you, this was a great video to explain the differences. I prefer the sound of the handpan. Does anyone know how much it costs to retune them if they fall out of tune?
Hey my friend. Depends on the person you have retune them. usally 90-150 is a common range. If you buy from some makers, they often retune your instrument at a minimal cost, if it is their own.
I'm about to buy a prototype of a handpan for $1'000 bucks, I wanted to travel with it but idk wether it'll get out of tune soon or not :( besides, I noticed RAV drums are just the price the prototype will be... I reallt appreciate your wise advice! Greetings from Mexico :)
Hey my friend! You can get a rav directly from them for $ 650! I really love both, but since i travel allot, I really love the Rav. They are very different instruments, but I am very much in love with the Rav's durability! I have never had any issue with tuning, etc. Go with what your heart tells you! Here is the link to their store: goo.gl/a2ehKt
ReWildYourSoul Thanks a lot my friend, I’m a drummer but I don’t have any knowledge about notes, I recently watched this video (the link’s below) & I wanted to ask you if there’s any chance to get a similar sound with one of the RAV’s and what model could be...if you have some time I really wanted 2 know :) P.S. The description of the handpan you is by clicking on details ruclips.net/video/6oremFnbgO0/видео.html
My Fox terrier sheds like a cat. I suppose I could make a kind of easy to pop off, elasticized ‘cover’ that could keep all her hair out. My string instruments are always disturbingly cluttered with dog hair... bleh!!
the culture definitely is that way for some. Though i have met and befriended many good examples. There definitely is a stigma against ravs. Their loss! Thanks for watching!
I like the sound of a good handpan. but I LOVE the sound of the Rav. The Rav is an great drum that doesn't have the elitist culture that in particular the PANArt people do. That mindset is more about maintaining a divide rather than using music/sound to bring people closer.
absolutely agree with you. I am glad someone else feels the same way! That is why i totally support Rav and the spreading of their instruments! Thanks for being like minded!
I don't know any hand drum players at the moment, so I can't respond to that directly, but I will say that in my short time researching handpans and steel tongue drums I feel that they're not unlike marimbas, xylophones, glockenspiels, vibrophones, etc... They're all wonderful twists on a core concept/timbre. For myself, I'm starting with a "budget" tank drum to start. If I stick with it, in time I hope to expand to a Rav Vast as well as a Handpan. Even if I do, I have little doubt I'll always love my tank drum(s) though! :)
@@ReWildYourSoul I suspect it's their ego at play. Supposed if they have 5 Hand Drums, which most likely they had spent $10k on, it's a huge insult to their ego to witness a newbie entering the game and played a nicer sound with just
As a handpan player, I feel obliged to say handpan is better. In my opinion, the sustain and tone of the RAV just doesn't do it. But that's completely opinionated. It's different for everyone. Nice video though

RAV has far better sound for sure and is not overratted and overvalued like Hang .Is definitely worth the price.
Octave and compound 5th
oh yes, I am aware, but for the sake of general consumption, that is a meaningless word. I hear you though man.
Where can we buy a good reasonably priced Rav ? Thks

So how easy does a handpan come out of tune? I plan on using it in a studio. Does it come out simply by playing it?

I don't know any hand drum players at the moment, so I can't respond to that directly, but I will say that in my short time researching handpans and steel tongue drums I feel that they're not unlike marimbas, xylophones, glockenspiels, vibrophones, etc... They're all wonderful twists on a core concept/timbre. For myself, I'm starting with a "budget" tank drum to start. If I stick with it, in time I hope to expand to a Rav Vast as well as a Handpan. Even if I do, I have little doubt I'll always love my tank drum(s) though! :)
@@ReWildYourSoul I suspect it's their ego at play. Supposed if they have 5 Hand Drums, which most likely they had spent $10k on, it's a huge insult to their ego to witness a newbie entering the game and played a nicer sound with just
As a handpan player, I feel obliged to say handpan is better. In my opinion, the sustain and tone of the RAV just doesn't do it. But that's completely opinionated. It's different for everyone. Nice video though
Thanks for weighing in! I love the handpan as well. They are very different, but both amazing in their own ways. Thanks for commenting my friend!
They both sound great, but I prefer the RAV. It's just slightly more mystical sounding.
