    this is an awesome video, it was part of my decision making process in buying my first tongue drum, which I just received from Kaizen. Thank you for putting this together.
    For those awaiting their Kaizen drums...
    I got my drum. I dealt with Levi directly, and I was not involved with the indiegogo campaign. I bought it off the site in December 2016. I was really let down with the customer service. I was given an estimate of three weeks, which was consistent with the time indicated on the website. I was told "very soon", "ASAP", "in about a week" many times. After 18 frustrating weeks of emails I got my drum. It is exactly what I ordered, and I am happy with it. It sounds great.
    I don't mind waiting. What bothered me was the constant assurance that it was almost ready to ship, when it wasn't. If Kaizen would be straight with their customers and say "hey, I am backlogged, I have your order but it is going to take 4 months to get to you" I would have been cool with that. I would not have retracted my order. Perhaps that is the concern. This style of business will do more damage in the long run.
    All the best

      +soslothful Not really, do you know how much effort goes into making these? Many builders have like 50 scrapped ones (even those have 200$ material cost alone) lying around cause a mistake means starting over again.
      Some makers sell their stainless steel prototypes for ~250-350$ though. They're not scraps so they still sound amazing, if you're looking to buy cheap steel drums I recommend "the handpan community" on Facebook.

    Thanks so much for this video! I've always wanted a handpan but they're ridiculously expensive....the expense is certainly justified given that they're made by hand and whatnot, but it's just far outside my budget for now. Maybe in a few years I can afford one.
    I'm super glad that there's a more affordable (and portable) alternative! I'll definitely be picking up one of those small tongue(?) drums in the near future. I prefer the look of the Kaizen drum to the Hapi, but I'm worried about the customer service since some others have had issues with communication and excessively long waits, but as long as I get what I order (and hopefully it doesn't take TOO terribly long) I can deal.
