Steel Tongue Drums affect people all over the world, they relax, they feel harmony, attune with it, with the sensations of their own inner world, give vent to their emotions through music.
This is a great tutorial. I can’t wait to get my Tritone tongue drum from you all. 🦋🦋🦋 It will help me with my LIVES on social media. ♥️
What he showed in few minutes, all other tankdrum videos combined on you tube could not.
If i can learn this much, Nothing else is required 😉
This man and the interpreter are messengers of angels.
Ahahahah! Thank you! We tried all our best!
Unbelievable quality from your drums! I just received mine a couple of days ago and the sound is amazing!
Thank you:)
I love your passion and commitment to enlightening and teaching others on how to approach and play these lovely instruments, thank you!
Love it!! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Fantastic, amazing beautiful. Love this instrument. Mesmerising. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
AWESOME. 2 SIDED BRILLIANT. GREAT PLAYING TOO.
Would love to have more of these tutorials regularly! My first tank drum has just been ordered and I’m so excited to play!
we hope our tutorials were useful :)
These instructional videos are so helpful! And I agree with other commenters that your translator is awesome. I love her accent. At the same time she is very easy to understand! Still working on my Tritone A-Minor which I absolutely love! 🌟🎶
What a sweet sounding drum. I would love to have one and do a duet with a kalimba.
I don’t know where you are or where you’re from, but greetings from the USA.
I listen to these melodies and i think the world would be better off getting high and having a jam session with these beautiful instruments
I got here, because I've just bought a tank drum and started recording some videos.
Great tutorial!
It helps a lot learning playing, thank you so much
This is so great as I needed to learn more techniques than playing with sticks. It also made me aware of the double tank which is a brilliant addition. Please post more!
Thank you! We will! Subscribe to our channel, click the bell and you will see all our news!

Oh this is awesome! I was looking for an instrument to play. And i think i found it! It makes a beautiful sound and this video helped me understand it more!
This instrument is a good solution for beginners)))
Hey! I suggest you buy from Kosmosky! I bought 2 of them and the shipping was quick and the customer service amazing! My drums are beautiful and sound even more beautiful! Relaxing and encouraging creativity. Cheers!
Recently purchased one. Can't wait to start practicing with it.
1-year update ... still playing?
Awesome
Just got back from Montreal QC, Canada, 6 July. Wile there happened to come across Magasin de Musique Steve's. Saw this on display and fell in love with it. I have one by the weeks end. I'm an amateur percussionist. Been working on a song for my daughter for a few years now and the Tank Drum will help me close it...…. Thanks for post.....
We wish you good luck in working on a song! You're very welcome, don't miss our new videos about new models :)
THANK YOU!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Privet Kosmosky!
Thank you for a beautiful, informative and brilliant video. I don't understand the people who complain. There is a setting in RUclips that will allow you to play a video at a really slow speed. And you can even have subtitles if you don't understand the accent, which is hardly there IMHO.
I recently bought a steel tongue drum off ebay, but alas it hardly makes any sound when I drum with my fingers, which is really what I wanted. There is even rubber tips for your fingers but it doesn't really make a difference.
So perhaps the best for me would be to buy a properly made and expensive drum from your website.
What a wonderful present for myself it would be.
Each of your drums are a masterpiece and I struggle with which design to choose, or if I should make my own design
Natasha, I don't know which drum you bought on eBay, but it is often not easy for beginners to start playing with fingers, even with our tank drums. In some of our tutorials we explained how to play with fingers, I think they should help you even do playing on your eBay drum.
That's strange that people would pick on the narrator's accent. This is perfectly understandable English, v very good for a non-native speaker.
Great Video.♥️ Thanks und greetings
You're always welcome :) Greetings from Russia!
Thanks for sharing
Many poetic and meditative greetings from Denmark!!
//Natasha
Thank you! Warm greetings from Russia!
Sooo beautiful and inspired. Nice sound and it looks so cool. I want to learn it. 😊👍😇
Thank you so much!
Wonderful sound and Great video... Greetings from Italy
Thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial...
You're welcome :)
It's just amazing ! I am looking forward to get one the same on the video :)
Thank you! This is 30 cm tank drum tuned in B major - D# minor scale. You can order in in any design on our website en.kosmosky.com :)
Could you specify what are the notes? I’m trying to tune mine like this one but I’m not sure of what notes from those two scales you’re using. I would really appreciate it! I love the sound. Thanks!
Omg this is beautiful 😍
Thank you!
Watching from Brazil, I thinking to buy one.
This will help to open up Jayce so I can communicate with him. I really don t and can t get to him yet. I first played the pots and pans in my daughters kitchen and yhey love the drum effects I showed all 3 boys. One is 5 who is Jareth then comes Jayce and last but not least Arik. Theor dad is a Scotsman and their mom Czech,Hungarian and German descent. Jayce is the leader of the pack and without him the other 2 get lost.They run and play together very roughly like wolves. I m teaching them music right after O taught them to tumble. I was a gymnastbsnd they re ready for music. Let s see how far this instrument takes Jayce as the other 2 will follow him only if he s interested. This will be a feat to vault over.
Nature and Pane really nice. Thanks the video helps
You're very welcome!
I really want one 😭 Best way to add music to your life is via a portable instrument
Nyanna, we will gladly make one for you :) www.en.kosmosky.com or contact us by email kosmosky.sales@gmail.com
I have four tank drums, and my most-played one is my Kosmosky. I don't have much musical talent, but I love to play it, and my wife says she enjoys it too.
I want to buy this exact drum sir. It could join me in my forest adventures journeys.
@@CurtBrown420 thats great to hear, im thinking og buying one, so is it easy to get good sounds from?
🙌🏻 🤩
The thing im having most trouble with is tempo and diffent timings. Id love a video on just diffent tempos and beat timings. like slap your thighs one hand at a time and in unison to get ideas of possible patterns to work on.
Beautiful drum! What is the layout pattern of the notes on the drum? I am building one myself and want to tune it like this one.
I would like to learn to play this instrument 😬
Thank you for the tutorial! It gave me a little push to play more on my steel tongue drum. :) My drum is another type with pentatonic scale and "only" 11 notes but sounds amazing. (Thanks for Béla Sevecsek, check his youtube channel and his hand made instruments! :) )
Thank you for sharing.Your are so good.I thing it is so relaxing to listen to you...I have bought one. I don't now how to start. ....I don't have any music background. Could you suggest me anything.Thanks
We suggest you watching other our video tutorials, you will find a lot of useful advices :)
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 That is SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
thank you :)
Hi! So beautiful! I was wondering if you drum in this video was a 12" drum? Thank you!
I play piano and would love to own a tongue drum.This would help my autistic Grandson who lives music amd this would help soothe his eratic behavior.He s 4 years old but is in tune with videoes and he learns to sing them as they are performed in the children s Disney character sings. It d soothe the savage beast within. He s very selfish with the toys he has and he tends to hide those special toys and he d do likewise with thos drum. I don t use credit cards,but my son who does will put my order through to you for his Christmas gift. I m very impressed with your drums. I will order one todayto take advantage of your special. It ll be interesting to see what he ll do woth this new inatrument...
Really beautiful. Thank you. Today i got a present from my girlfriend. A kosmosky drum (eye of horus -b major and D7b minor). It;’s really nice made. Thank you. Now i need practise haha. Greets from the Netherlands..
Thank you for the positive news! Enjoy playing! Greetings from Russia :)
I've searched for just the notes and I've found a lot on google or on here but not just a list of the notes mine is a 13 note one any help would be appreciated 😁
Great video! can you share the instrument's maker? I am looking to buy one tongue drum and so far this sounds the best. Thank you in advance!
We make these tank drums, our website is en.kosmosky.com or you can contact us by email kosmosky.sales@gmail.com
Thank you!
Polska Kochan się!!
That is the strangest accent I've ever heard:D
I like it ;)
😀😀😀
Where can I order for the best tank drum? Do I need to learn it or play intuitively? It's very soothing.
Great~~~~~🤎👍☺️🌛🌜🌛🕊🧚
I love your video and music. I am totally new at this and my drum is arriving tomorrow. My knowledge of musical notes etc is not good. Is there a book of music that shows music and what to touch to play music like you are doing? I hope I am saying it right.....I love the gentle tunes you played for meditation and enjoyment but don't know how to know what to tap.
I think this instrument is it in its best to play on feeling and rythm. Just go threw all tutorials and have fun
Just got mine last Wednesday still struggling to play it but can play some songs
This is so beautiful. In what scales is this drum?
*What type of tank steel drum are you playing on?!* Thank you for this tutorial. ❤️
He plays a 30cm 2-sided steel tongue drum, tuned in the Forest scale (B major + D# minor), golden-bronze color
How long did it take you to become an ARTIST using the Tank drum?
How did you find your instrumentalist? Does she have her own band?
please make a slower tutorial showing the patterns, you play so wonderfully but I have a hard time following. thank you
Hi! You can make the video slower clicking on the gear "Settings" in the right low corner of the RUclips player
There is also the video with patterns of another tank drum ruclips.net/video/mz4JzgCAcTQ/видео.html
Nice, love it. Is it a 30cm?
Where did you get this drum?! I love the detail on it.
www.en.kosmosky.com we make them :)
I got a rakumi one but I sounds terrible with fingers but really nice with the Mallots but I prefer to use my hands
What's rakumi?
I have a question... I'm using my hands and in not getting a strong sound like you.. am I missing something
Look into getting some finger covers they do help with that.
Just curious what scale the drum is he is playing at first? I know it is a double sided drum. Just curious what scales they are in?
Hi! He is playing B major at first :)
I prefer the mallet
Toca una de Maximo Grado group
What is the chord in each tongue
Do you ship to the USA? I would like to purchase one but I am unsure about it. Are there any problems shipping to the USA?
Yes, we ship a lot of drums to the US, shipping is not a problem, it takes about 3-5 business days to the US
His technique is insane! How long did he play before being able to master this?
Not so long! It can be easy for everybody - just try!
Can you please share the link where i can purchase this one?

Or how to play a 22 cm one
methods of playing 22 cm is essentially no different from 30 cm
I built my but I went too far how do I tune back on?
Hi, Harry! Contact me here facebook.com/petinalex92 maybe I could help you if I see your tank drum
Maybe you could play at regular speed, then record in slow motion, and we can better see how your fingers and hands are moving. I know it will sound different, but the visual would help me understand better.
Thank you! I will take this into account
Great idea
Switch playback speed on 0.25 so u will see..
The guy looks like eleven
ahahaha))) thank you))
Can you learn to play sometime nice if you have no idea about music?
This is way too fast to learn from it, or maybe i don't get it... I got frustrated lol
Between her thick accent and how fast the hands were moving, I'm having a very hard time understanding this unfortunately :(
Michelle, you can make the speed of playing slower in the settings of the RUclips player. Unfortunately, her thick accent isn't fixable :)
Thick accent you're saying.... How many other languages do you speak? English only I bet
So it's a little gizmo you tap on with your fingers and it makes sound. And? I made something like this when I was 12 as a school project. That was over 40 years ago. Not criticizing the video maker, just the whole concept that this thing is revolutionary, or evolutionary, or remarkable, let alone important. Plus, nobody is ever using their tongue to play, which kind of spoils the whole concept. When I read "tongue drum" I want to see people using their tongue to play, not a thing with tongue-shaped contact surfaces.
Most tongue drums are diatonic instruments, meaning they do not possess the chromaticism of many instruments. While this does prevent the playing of certain pieces, it also makes the instrument a very easy entry into the world of music for many people. To say that it isn't anything special because it is as simple as tapping the object to make sounds is very misleading, as the same can be said for many percussion instruments, though they are just as important as any other section of an ensemble. With the positive impact even a little bit of music can have on brain functions, mechanical skills, and overall happiness, any instrument with such a low skill and monetary entrance cost is quite special indeed.
@@aedifexnailo6837 Hmm. Well color me educated. I'm going to buy some of these things and give them as gifts to my less musically-interested friends and family as an entre into the world of musicianship. I'm already there. By the time I built one of those contraptions I'd already been playing a polychromatic instrument, the cello, for years. I've since moved on to playing and performing on other instruments (saxophone, piano, guitar) and have since lost that gizmo I constructed. I had no idea how ahead of the curve I was at that time. It's a problem.
This is not really instructional. :(
