Thomas Schroyer started playing music in the 90s when world music first made its debut in the western world. Travels and studies in world percussion took him to India and the Middle East which deeply influenced his tribal trance music on stages, and in film and theater. With a history of playing over 27 instruments, Thomas now devotes the majority of his time to his handpan and frame drums. His vision is to take the listener to another world using eastern tunings and intoxicating trance rhythms.

Handpan & Oud Improvisation
Near the highest peak in Oregon, Mt Hood, Thomas and Stephen spend their days working out tunes and improvising in a cabin out in the Northwest woods. Sometimes the best work comes out of improvisations and provides the seedling for a tune. They toured together last summer in festivals through the Nw. For more info:

I love to travel to magical landscapes to try and capture the essence of a place through music. My instrument , a handpan or hang drum is very relaxing, considered the holy grail of sound healing. I didn't' realize at the time, but there were 28 small earthquakes happening while I was playing on these volcanic rocks. I did feel something powerful throughout the day while I was staring at this p...

Handpan Music Inside of an Ancient Redwood
Переглядів 683 роки тому
Much of my music making involves the natural world. I love finding the magical treasures of the world and with any luck I'll find a song that captures my essence or spirit of the place. I'll spend several days playing in the morning & sunsets doing field recordings. Its part improv/part melody as the repetition creates a trance like effect. I also get a kick out of surprising random travelings ...

Brilliant. Thank you for the simple yet meaningful explanation.
Beautiful
Fantastic explanation for a music noob like me. Would love to see more of your videos sharing this knowledge in an accessible manner. Thank you!
Dude that handpan is going to break that rock chunk right off😮
I need more videos like this. I'm just trying to fill the time i have left with music. I can think of worse things to waste time with!
Thank you so much. This was great. I have really been considering buying a hand pan but want to be able to play some traditional songs like Imagine or Hallelujah. I found you easy to understand and you have a calm and patient manner which is what I really need. Much appreciated!!😊
Yes! This is the missing Link lesson. I it’s not just a drum? 😲 J/ k i’m a total newbie expecting my first hand pan in 2 days. Happy birthday, Me.🎉 And thank you good sir
Love it! Found this looking for any kindred spirit who plays handpans standing up! Mah brother from another mother! peace :)
Well done ❤ and a massive thank you for taking the time to explain
Heavily underrated video! Thank you I've ordered handpan :) Never played something before. Thank you for you work!
I appreciate it! Take it out into the natural world , the most magical place to play.
I’m a bit confused to what scale to buy my first handpan, which scale you recommend for first handpan?
Listen to some online and see which sounds you like. D celtic is a fav and easy one to get started.
❤️ from India 🙏🏼
Wonderful, this will be my first try at the handpan following this video and trying to get the feel of its sound!
thank you for your music and vibes :)
You bet! My pleasure
❤️ from India 🙏🏼
thank you for this. greetings from Andalucía
I feel like you should've used a more normal tuned instrument like one in C major or something
hi ! thanks for the tutorial. what is harder for me is that I have a 17 (16+ding) notes Tacta E Kurd handpan, I don't know all the chords yet. is there a way to look up the scale and have all the chords for that scale ?
Yes thats a different handpan than most. I would put a little sticker and label each note on the handpan and then start small. Tacta should have the breakdown online. You can find the chords once you do this and pay special attention to the first and fifth note since they will be your foundation. Good luck
Enjoyed it, Thomas!
Thanks.
This helped me greatly, thank you
You sir have a fabulous way of explaining important points, I have found this so helpful.
You are wonderful, thank you for your music. You've played this Earth:) greetings from northern Poland
Much appreciated your time and instruction. Learning all I can before my first handpan purchase. ..
❤️❤️❤️
Yeah … now I can enjoy the complete Video. Well done … Thanks … Cheers … Stefan.
Thx for letting me know!
Thanks
Wonderful 🙏
Thanks so much
Greetings from India 🙏 a friend of mine presented a SPB Pantam C# Hijaz Handpan few months ago. Now religiously practicing & playing 🙏
Beautiful .. yes its an inspiring instrument
Very helpfull! Thanks a lot!!
You're welcome!
thank you so much for your videos! You explain them with such passion.
I appreciate the comment. 🙏
Hola como estas? Quiero agradecerte el enfoque y la apertura a trabajar con la teoría. Por suerte poseo un handpan similar a éste pero en tonalidad mayor, Do mayor. Pero mi enfoque musical es desde la dirección opuesta complementaria. La idea de que es en do y no en sol... do es tónica y sol dominante
You are welcome.. Enjoy!
meditating while p[aying seems a little hard. keeping a clear mind or getting there while focusing on more than just breathing seems hard.
Yes it can be challenging if you're playing an instrument and meditating. I try to keep it easy with a simple melody or rhythm and focus more on the quality of the tone and experience opposed to the creation of a song.
extreamly helpfull loved how it felt like a music teacher explaining it
Thanks! I love to teach.

Love your channel ❤👌🏻
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much !
It seemed like you had a great connection with the song. 👌
Thanks. Yes we did ~ from thousands of miles away
Does it work on hubcaps, too? Never knew about the handpan. Thanks, good to "see" you, Thomas. You are a patient teacher.
Ha. Yes. It’s just a finely crafted hubcap which I use to play back in the Rhythmic Opera days.
Damn, I have been playing for a year and I guess I never put all of this together. What a great tutorial!
Thanks Jason. I like to improvise within the theory to help come up with ideas for songs.. More coming soon.
Awesome music video, Thomas! 🙌
Thanks! That was one of your handpans - G Syria Halo.
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
