I'm wishing my gold-rimmed E Low Pygmy sounded like this older model. I have the vintage 2016 G Pygmy, and do love it.
The G Pygmy is really cool, but that E Low Pygmy is another level of awesome
hands down my two favorite scales. listening to them feels like a warm hug 💗
Really beautiful man - I missed your RAV playing - thank you for the new sounds! I have a G pyg and was very curious about the differences with the e low. Perfect timing for me to see this video.
An absolutely wicked comparison, loved the examples played on each to give a view into each drums soundscape! Keep up the good work and happy holidays!
Thanks so much!! Happy holidays!! :)
Love this video every time I watch it. Love both scales and love to own both 😎😎. Thanks for all your efforts friend.
Thank you Jacob.
I have a D Celtic Minor Rav 2 and have been wanting to buy a second Rav with a scale that will work well with it when played together.
The E low pigmy and G pigmy were both recommended to me, so this video is really helpful to me.
With your slow scale demonstration, i can compare without guessing.
Very nice songs and playing as well, I enjoyed it.
Thanks again.
You are super talented.. love to hear you play..
Thank you so much. I've been trying to decide which of these i liked better but could only compare by different players, recording qualities etc. As a sound healer i connect better to the low e pygmy. While both are absolutely beautiful, you have finally helped me make my purchase. Now i wait for arrival! Thanks again. :)
Merry Xmas my old friend. Its the 25th Dec here in da future, Australia.
Thanks for the teachings & thanks for sharing :) oh & the beautifulness of your playing
Thanks Nikky!! Happy Holidays! :). All the best!
don't know what to choose ! damn! both are beautiful!
Wow, that E Low Pigmy brought my soul to life. The G Pigmy has an incredibly beautiful sound, too. I will need both!!!
Great comparisons.....thanks very much !!!
You're welcome!
Beautiful compositions! Thanks too for the demo -- really helpful.
Wow - really dig your playing style. I'm about to enter the handpan universe... very much looking forward to it. :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Great comparison, very useful und helpful, thanks a lot!
I have a B Kurd - but the Pygmy has an awesome sound as well - could not dicide which one I would prefer, the E Low (what a groove!) or the G (reminds me sometimes of old Hammond-Organs). Anyway, both a very fascinating.
Thank you so much for this superb demonstration between the G and E Pygmy! I have listened to all the demos I could trying to decide between the two and I kept saying someone needs to play the same music on each so I could hear the difference and that's what you did! Awesome! You are so talented! And I love your vids!
Thanks!!
Which one did you get?
I have to say my friend, thank you for this video. You rock in every way. Scranton forever lol
So awesome, thank you : ))
Glad you like it!
Considering how well the E pygmy sounds, the G pygmy to me sounds more dramatic with a bit of a mysterious aura to it. Many thanks for the comparison and wonderful compositions.
Awesome comparison...for me G Pygmy wins- just no chance for E low...I love RAV VAST...I'm going to order D major very soon...E low Pygmy -maybe it is a question of U tube imperfection of sound transfer...this scale for me doesn't sound natural...lower sounds are very...unnatural...too much tremor...wobble... almost guttural...compare to other RAV VAST sound sculptures...
Groovy!
very useful thank you🏵
Thank you! 🙏
thank you. Status legende!
😍 😍 😍
Beautiful! Bought the G to start with!
Great choice! 👌🎶🙏
Nice playing man
Thanks!
Thanks. I can't afford both. Any tips on how to choose? Which one is easier to master? Which one is better for guitar? Meditation?
Comparison-wise these are my immediate observations... The low E has better harmonics and slightly better sustain. However the lower registers on RAVs are a little muddy, meaning not distinct. Excellent job on the recording by the way - these are hard to record correctly. The G has the better sound to me. Maybe it’s because middle registers are just better to the human ear (essentially the Bose recipe). All that being said, both are very beautiful instruments and I would be happy to own either. Lastly, excellent playing my friend!
Thanks for your comments and kind words Ray! Well I just sold the E low pygmy, so I think the G pygmy "resonates" with me more as well!! ;)
Low E is excellent for very slow meditative style of playing, otherwise agree low end gets quiet muddy. G can take faster groives and still sound decent.
this never gets old
Hello, could you tell me what's the difference between "Low Pygmy" and just "Pygmy" ? 🤔
Its lower :-)
This is a brilliant video. I've a B Kurd and looking for a complimentary Rav with a low scale, would you say the G Pygmy or E Pygmy be better suited?
How do you like the b kurd? Glad you chose that scale? I'm between b kurd or g pygmy.
Would have been great to see them played together to see how well the sound with each other
John Skoczen they do not work well together at all.
Wow that contradicts what RAV has told me which is that E Pygmy and G Pygmy go well together.... not an issue for me yet as I have to get to know the G Pygmy when I get it before thinking about which one goes with it. Now do you have a recommendation for a compatible RAV? Just curious..
John Skoczen sorry I’m a drummer / percussionist and I play / compose by ear. My music theory knowledge is lacking. I would ask in one of the RAV groups on Facebook. Best of luck! :)
@@johnskoczen4936 The RAV Vast website has compatibility charts for all tunings, check it out. :)
Hi what generation of Rav in G pygmy do you prefer?
This G Pygmy 2016 is the best RAV I have played and the only RAV I have not sold.
You crazy
I personally like the G pyg more..
Same as I sold the E
@@JacobColePercussion right on brother. I have a g pyg myself, love it.
Have a wonderful evening wherever you are in the world..
