Welcome to the third instalment of Handpan Friday! Today is all about the slap. This was a topic request of handpandojo member Andreas Martin - great topic. The slap is one of the most useful percussive sounds and you can use it to spice up your handpan patterns and add some groove! Let me know which of the patterns you like most or if you have a wish for a future topic!
I'm in love with the melody starting at 8:33! 🥰🥰🥰 Trying to master it slowly for the moment ) Thanks, David! You're great! Your creativity has no boundaries, recording yourself upside down lying on the floor 😁
great you very helpful and not to mention ur laying on the floor to excuse the recording flaw was so funny love Humer i look forward to more of your videos
Great video. Thanks for including the slow version of you going through the 4 note arpeggio (or at least most of it). Got a lot of practice to do attempting to adapt this to a hank drum.
Great tutorial ! I like how you built on the previous tutorial on apreggios! The second pattern is hard to get particularly the part with the "pp". I'm a bit confused by the notation one p is green but you seem to play both with the right hand. But I'll get it eventually with practice :) thanks for these groovy patterns !
Well spotted, that’s a mistake in the notation. Both of this palm bass strokes should be done with the right hand. If you are not familiar with the technique, you can substitute those with any other sound, for example the fist bass, taks or ghost notes. It’s also one of those techniques that you have to be careful with because you hit the dimple of the central note with the full weight of your hand. Thanks for the thumbs up! 👍
@@DavidKuckhermann oh good thing I'm not crazy! Yes I've recognized the palm bass from the handpandojo tutorials it's nice to have another pattern with these !
Thank you for explaining it. I am new to handpans and i really did not know what that strange noise is like when you hit a steel pot randomly by an item :D I was wondering if its indicating the quality of handpan or the hitting technique. Now i know its the backbeat. Looks like its really subjective because i dont like it at all (the handpan is sounding beautiful melodic and my ears perceive that backbeat as disturbing noise) but many real musicians use, love and prefer. So its really a personal preference. At least now i know it. Thank you
Hi Sabina, The ghost notes are marked as dots, black for the right and green for the left hand. This is really up to interpretation though and I play it a little different every time with the additional or fewer ghost notes.
Hello David, you are a wonderful Teacher & Master multi-percussionist. Thankyou for your time & knowledge and these sessions here. I have a question, l understand the slap but is the "kluck" sound played as an accent near the tone areas?? 🙏
I use "clack" to describe the sound of the slap, I can see how that might be confusing. What I mean is that you want as much of the high percussive sound and as little "tone" from the notes as possible. For that you wanna hit in areas away from the tone fields.
Thanks for the videos! From a teaching/learning perspective, I think it would be more useful to not have a background track. It’s a little distracting and hard to differentiate the ghost notes/slight accents. Regardless, really enjoy your channel tyty
I am wondering about playing Khaligi with alternating hands rather than playing right ghost notes after the D? This seems to work with the Framedrum but with a handpan maybe alternating hands? Is there a reason not to play an alternating hand pattern?
I use both, but usually prefer this fingering over the alternating hands. I like that I can keep the right hand around the center for the central note sounds and the left hand on the side for the slaps, so it needs much less movement overall. It always depends what kind of variations you go for though.
Super cool. Vielen Dank! Ich hab vor zweieinhalb Wochen meine erste Handpan geschenkt bekommen (eine Ayasa C#Pygmy 15) und hab sofort Deinen Kurs gekauft mit dem Ayasa Coupon auf die Empfehlung der Ayasa-Jungs hin. Ich hab fast die Hälfte durch und war mir nicht ganz klar, ob ich den Unterschied zwischen dem Tak und dem Slap verstanden hab. Darum arbeite ich gerade dieses Video durch. Liebe Grüße von Friderike
Hey, das klingt ja super! Du legst ja ein gutes Tempo vor! Wenn noch etwas unklar bleibt, kannst du mir gerne hier oder im Kurs Frgagen stellen. LG und weiterhin viel Spass mit den Videos!!!
Bonjour j’ai un pigmy flow F# et lorsque je veux claper de la main gauche ça résonne et je pense qu’il y’a trop de sustain comment y remédier ? Pouvez-vous jouer et gérer les rythmes avec ce genre de handpan svp ?
Thank you David. I'm still working away on your online paid lessons...If there's any duplication, would you kindly let us know. I'm jumping between the paid lessons and your Friday lessons. My slap fingers are a bit stiff from practice.
Yea, better to take a break from slap practice when your fingers start to hurt ;). It's all new material, though sometimes dealing with similar subjects. Some of these videos will be integrated into the handpandojo courses in the future.
I have been playing for almost 3 years and I have been told I am very good. I have some low quality instruments but have recently upgraded to top quality. Even so, no matter how hard I work, I can never produce slaps or shoulder tones (metallic sounds) that are anywhere as good as these or from other accomplished players. I wonder if there is some elusive technique that I have still not discovered, or if it is still the instruments. Frustrating.
Sounds great but it's too difficult for me and my hand pan don't sound like that so it's throwing me off. Too much at once. Got the rhythm in my head but can't translate it to the instrument. : /

you've done an awesome job in the first 3 lesson. I hope you'll reach a lot of success with your channel, you totally deserve it!
Thank you Matteo!

Really nice lesson, I love the back tracks and super nice rhythms :) epic on all levels!
Top 😎✌🏼️
Love the lefthand backbeat but its difficult... Can you make another tutorial for begginers with that rhytm?
Hi David in the 2. Groove where the holes are there is a gost note with the right?
Hi Sabina,
The ghost notes are marked as dots, black for the right and green for the left hand.
This is really up to interpretation though and I play it a little different every time with the additional or fewer ghost notes.

Thanks David, Yes, you are right! I heard it wrong! Thank you, much appreciated. Sorry, l call it a "kluck" 😂.
Greate! How do you make this groovie and cool background rythm?
Coming up in one of the coming weeks ;)
Thanks for the videos!
From a teaching/learning perspective, I think it would be more useful to not have a background track. It’s a little distracting and hard to differentiate the ghost notes/slight accents.
Regardless, really enjoy your channel tyty
My favorite tutorial so far. Great to see these beat/grooves. That's just what I need just now is a few more beats. Thanks a lot David.
Cool. You can never have too many grooves up your sleeve! You're welcome 🙏

the sound of -the best band ever- in the background
that was such a fun project - Nadishana and Armin are great to play with!
The mixture between the sound of the hulusi and the handoan together is genious
Where did you purchase this hand pan from?
Its a levinson Spb pantam from 2012 or so
What's '' TK ''?
❤❤
how do you get such crips slaps? I hear the notes ringing
hi I have a question, what is k?
same as T ;)
tnx 🙏🙏❤️
MERCI POUR TES VIDEOS MAIS JE SUIS DEBUTANT ET C'EST TRES COMPLIQUER
Hi Chris,
I have some more beginner-orientated videos coming in the next weeks.
I have been playing for almost 3 years and I have been told I am very good. I have some low quality instruments but have recently upgraded to top quality. Even so, no matter how hard I work, I can never produce slaps or shoulder tones (metallic sounds) that are anywhere as good as these or from other accomplished players. I wonder if there is some elusive technique that I have still not discovered, or if it is still the instruments. Frustrating.

Sounds great but it's too difficult for me and my hand pan don't sound like that so it's throwing me off. Too much at once. Got the rhythm in my head but can't translate it to the instrument. : /
why put music or compass in extra of handpan, dont sound like video
Buenísimo!!!
