Yes! Love these grooves so much!! I've learnt this beautiful instrument for a year now and long way to go. After watching and listening to your music and lessons here, you have gained a new student of HPD. Love your style. 🙏
Great video! Well produced, well recorded, and you are an amazing percussionist! My first handpan is gonna get ready soon in Melbourne (AU). Can't wait to pick it up! Just sub for your channel! thanks for sharing your amazing skills!
At 1:40 what does the K in the notation stand for? I don't get what should be played there and couldn't find this notation anywhere else. The video is great! I love playing along with it...
I so badly want a handpan... The PERFECT percussion instrument IMHO just highly doubt I'll be playing one this side of Heaven... I literally do these technique, and have since I was a kid in the 70's, on anything my fingers can find... Never heard of handpan til a couple years ago and it just literally FLOODS my soul. No other instrument moves me like this and I've been making music my entire life in one form or another.
It's interesting how the sound of the instrument just touches/attracts some of us so much (me included). Why do you think you'll never have one, they are becoming more and more affordable.
@@DavidKuckhermann I'm quickly on my way out and haven't been able to work for a few years and refuse a check if we have a roof and food. Some things just aren't meant to be, that's all. Thank you for the response, though! Did not expect that.
Your rhythms are absolutely amazing. I am struggling. I am a musician, but play flute and kalimba. I have 2 tongue drums. I understand rhythm but using two hands gets me all tied up! Your rhythms are way too fast for me. Your halftime khaligi was a little more up my alley. Do you have more beginner rhythms or exercises, or do you know of another UA-camr I could learn from who isn’t too basic but teach hand rhythms? Never mind! I found your beginner lesson!
Hi Sharon, some of my other videos are more beginner-oriented as you already discovered. There are a bunch of other UA-cam folks you can find when you search for "handpan lessons beginner". I also have a beginner online course on www.handpandojo.com.
David Kuckhermann Thanks for getting. Back to me so quickly David. Yeah I saw that you have a course. I am hoping to get another drum and then I will definitely look into it. Just have to come up with the money first !😬
Not a stupid question at all. The patterns should work on rav drum as well. Here is an explanation video: bit.ly/handpan-notation Summary: D: Doum (central note bass stroke) M: muted Doum T / K: Tak and Ka - high percussive stroke played on the shoulder of the central tone field ^: Slap 1-9: the tone fields low to high
How can some people dislike this video...? I would never understand... Anyway, great one again. I love those grooves too. I also enjoy Maqsum (I know, quite a classic one! ;) ), Beledi (or "Baladi"), Malfouf, Chiftitelli and others from arabic culture (lots are used in belly dance) but also more "Hip-Hop"-kind rhythms. :)
@@DavidKuckhermann you're more than welcome. ;) That's probably one of the many reasons why I follow and appreciate (and sometimes support) your work (and music) since quite a while. :)
T and K stand for the same stroke "Tak", which can also be called Ta or Ka. Both letters stand for exactly the same stroke. There is a link in the video description to an explanation video for the notation.
I think this the best made music tutorial on the internet (yes I mean best I've seen for all musical instruments, not just for handpan!) Well done, and thank you for your efforts to articulate you knowledge in format that is easy and a pleasure to consume
Very beautiful your videos, I would like to ask you a question, I would like to know where can I buy a Handpan and choose the right scale for me? Thank you
Really good rhythms, especially the last one. But sadly enough, it is in fact not possible to get a hang. Could you recommend a "substitute" ? What Do you think of the Caisa from Dortmund, if you know. Are the tones organised the same?
Thank you for you lessons! I have only 1 question. In "Fast 12" on two last pictures of the melody, last lines, after note 5 (3) you wrote two GREEN points and then one more GREEN note 4. Is it a rule of this rhythm or a mistake?
Thank you so much through this video now i have an idea how (my love enstrument) hang has playing :) i hope when i buy a handpan i'll say you're my first teacher
M ist ein “muffled” bass stroke, wonder Finger kurz liegen bleibt. T und K stehen beide für den gleichen Sound “Tak”. Ein link zur notationserklärung ist auch in der videobeschreibung
The world percussion academy courses are online versions of my older instructional DVDs. The courses on handpandojo are updated, have more content, and up-to-date production quality.
Hi , David! Do you explain more informative this grooves In your online course? In your online course can i turn on subtitles in video? My English not on high level. Thank you
Hi Artemio, Backbeat groove, Khaligi, fast 12 and 2-Step are taught step by step and more in-depth in my courses. Subtitles in English and other languages are coming to Handpandojo in the coming months. Which languages do you speak?
Great videos! I have already started to wait for them :) and I waited to arrive home to look at this new one when I saw the new release on my phone :) My favourite from the video is the Khaligi... From my personal favourit I use on handpan is tha Malfuf rythm... keep going please :)
Awesome! Yea, such a groovy and useful rhythm. The closely related Malfuf is great as well, very flexible. The 3-3-2 pattern pps up in almost every music tradition for a reason. :)
Thanks a lot David. You're just a perfect teacher. I'm on handpandojo and it's amazing. I really love your system and the related structure, where everything builds up on each other. Just logic, and helpful because of that. So I could only recommend it... who likes handpanfriday will love the dojo! Keep on and have a great time!
I'm in love with that Valter drum box too! & how after thinking all the notes were left open (just before about 8:00) and then you held some. Wow. makes me want to vacation in Germany for some tutelage.
BROTHER... SENSEI... Your production quality is impeccable, and the flow of this amazing exercise is perfect! Such a brilliant example - and setting the standard for such tutorials! The pantam you use is amazing! Also that Cajon! WOW! The sound of that big Daf you use for the khaleeji style - BRILLIANT! Much Much Love! All in all super impressed and proud to see this level of content around for us!
Thanks Tarek! 🙏 Yea, I love that Cajon as well, such a good bass sound! The Pantam is a 2012 Victor Levinson SpB, to this day those are among my favourites.
Thank you for your thoughtful ability to share your experiences with us. It is very inspiring and helpful to have a structured approach to the art of the Handpan. Your videos open up wide vistas for exploration and refinement for those willing to put in the time and energy. Herzlichen Dank.
Yea, that’s confusing at first. But once you have a few different hand pattern combinations in your repertoire, it will give you a whole new level of flexibility!
David how do you figure out wich notes you use to enhance the rythm? I mean, in the backbeat, how do you choose to use 4 then 35 and 6, and the change it?
I really enjoy your videos, they're brilliantly made! I wanted to know what key or tuning is this handpan that you use the most in these videos? Thanks again.

Today I wanna show you my top 5 Handpan grooves from other instruments.
Which one do you like best?
David Kuckhermann the half time khaligi is my favourite.
And i would have love some darbuka on the 2 steps ^^
@@lajeanette33 that would indeed have been a very fitting addition to the 2-step. :)
I really enjoyed the Khaliji one and am working it on my handpan. Thanks David
Khaligi.
They were all Really Cool.
I'm dreaming to have such an inspired and passionate friend to play music with 🧡
I feel so grateful to live in a world where people like you share what you know. thank you for your effort and generosity.
Thanks Farzad - I also love that we live in a world that makes sharing easy! You're welcome! 😁
Yes! Love these grooves so much!! I've learnt this beautiful instrument for a year now and long way to go. After watching and listening to your music and lessons here, you have gained a new student of HPD. Love your style. 🙏
Fantastic! Cu on handpandojo! 👍

Is there a full version of the half khalgi? This is so beautiful!
Great grooves. I love your videos and appreciate all of your lessons.
Thanks Jason! 👍
Is there a video describing your cajon and attachments? Ty

Thanks Gregory!
Thank you for this marvelous video!…QUESTION… what key is the hand pan used in this video?
D Minor for most of the examples.
What make is THAT Hand pan, and where can I purchase one ?
Thanks
❤ ALOHA
Thank you for sharing. What does the K and the M stand for?
M stands for muted ding. But the k i'm also kost
Hi David, one question what is K?
Hallo David! Wie sind Deine Pans gestimmt: 432 oder 440 Hz?
David, I wonder if there is an up or a machine that you can recommend that can be like percation and bass ?
What tune and type of pan are these played on?
Great video! But no handpan. I'm gonna cry.
They have been coming down in price and are much more available than a few years ago - if you really want one, it's definitely not impossible ;)
@@DavidKuckhermann Thanks for the courage, i'll have a second look..
Great video! Well produced, well recorded, and you are an amazing percussionist! My first handpan is gonna get ready soon in Melbourne (AU). Can't wait to pick it up! Just sub for your channel! thanks for sharing your amazing skills!
Thanks man, congrats for your first handpan!
👍🏾
At 1:40 what does the K in the notation stand for? I don't get what should be played there and couldn't find this notation anywhere else.
The video is great! I love playing along with it...
K is the same stroke as T. "Tak" and "Ka" The only reason we use a different letter is that it makes it more natural to speak the rhythm.
Hi David, wo wohbst du?
in Berlin
Ich habe frage ich hätte gerne ein Kurs gekauft, aber bezahlung ist nur mit kreditkarte, kann ich z. B. S. Mit PayPal bezahlen oder per Überweisung ?
@@kami2302 Es sollte eigentlich ohne Probleme auch mit Paypal gehen. Wurde die Option nicht angezeigt?
@@DavidKuckhermann nein

to high to fast for me
You can't sit still on the 2-Step!
You are an example . Thanks for your lessons and the emtions that you reserve .
Thanks! You’re very welcome! 🙏
I so badly want a handpan... The PERFECT percussion instrument IMHO just highly doubt I'll be playing one this side of Heaven...
I literally do these technique, and have since I was a kid in the 70's, on anything my fingers can find... Never heard of handpan til a couple years ago and it just literally FLOODS my soul. No other instrument moves me like this and I've been making music my entire life in one form or another.

here they are:
1️⃣ 1:15 Back beat groove
2️⃣ 2:35 Khaligi

some of my other videos are more beginner-oriented as you already discovered. There are a bunch of other UA-cam folks you can find when you search for "handpan lessons beginner".
I also have a beginner online course on www.handpandojo.com.
David Kuckhermann Thanks for getting. Back to me so quickly David. Yeah I saw that you have a course. I am hoping to get another drum and then I will definitely look into it. Just have to come up with the money first !😬
So much to learn from one vídeo! Wow, I can only imagine what the lessons on handpandojo sound like. Great, great job!
Thanks Rafael, appreciate the thumbs up!
Brilliant video!
thanks Ross 🙏
what is the difference between D and M? (first section)
M - is ding (middle) but muted - that means finger stays on it?
that is exactly correct.
Stupid question, don't know if it makes any differe ce as I'm playing the RAV Vast but what do the M and the T etc stand for?
Not a stupid question at all. The patterns should work on rav drum as well. Here is an explanation video:
bit.ly/handpan-notation
Summary:
D: Doum (central note bass stroke)
M: muted Doum
T / K: Tak and Ka - high percussive stroke played on the shoulder of the central tone field
^: Slap
1-9: the tone fields low to high
Fantastico 😃 Grazie👋👍🏻
Cool! I really like it. A bit difficult for a beginner like me, but oh, well... "This is the Way" (c) Mandalorian :)
There are some more beginner-oriented videos coming in next few weeks

Supercrack of handpan
Hi, just a question, what does is mean the note "K"? How should I play it? Thanks a lot

T and K stand for the same stroke "Tak", which can also be called Ta or Ka. Both letters stand for exactly the same stroke.
There is a link in the video description to an explanation video for the notation.
Hi David, how do you know what is number 1, 3, 4, etc tone fields? Could you help me please?

You play the HANDPAN, whereas Alex Day plays a hang drum. I am confused! What is the basic difference between the HANDPAN and the hang drum ?

Want a real challenge? Play this video at 1.75 speed and try to play along haha. Great video man! thank you a lot!

Отлично 👍
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Beautifully put together.
Thanks Tasim! 👍
What model is the khaliji the one you are playing ? Great vedio
Kannst Du mir die "M" und "K"-Bezeichnung erlären? Danke!!!!

Thanks Nico!
I don't own a handpan, but a tongue drum :) i still hope i will be able to apply some of your lessons. I have two left hands lol... But i love to try
some of the material should work. Check out the arpeggio episode, maybe that's a good place to start.

Amazing video! I'm about to buy my Hang(original Handpan), I will definitely follow your videos! Keep up the great work. Shanti 🕉️
Thank you Xiva!
Inspirational video - as always :) May I ask what you‘re using to display the patterns in the videos?
Hey,
it's a custom template I created for Final Cut.
