Thank you Glen. I have watched this video many times, it was really one of the first videos that had a big effect on my life's path, my focus to be a frame drummer! Grateful for your continued inspiration.
I have just arrived from a master class on frame drums he gave in Casa da Música do Porto, Portugal. I must say he is a really great teacher and a fabulous musician. We learned bohdran techniques, tar and shakers. He also taught us how to do overtone singing. I enjoyed it a lot and I recomend the attendance to other events by him.
It's fascinating - this DVD was my original inspiration to play frame drums, and when I first saw it, it was like magic - completely baffling. Now, after many years of frame drumming and having spent some time with Glen and studied with him, I can understand most of what he's doing and indeed play a lot of it - albeit not all quite at this tempo :) I still come back to the video to check my technique sometimes, and still wonder at it - even after many years, the magic remains...
I stumbled on this video by accident about a month ago. I've been listening to frame drum music ever since, and I am starting to learn how to play as well. Thank you for the upload!
he's slightly pressing his finger down while sliding directly after the hit at the top. the slide motion allows him to create some sort of length of the note, and the change in pitch comes from him pressing inward and letting off.
We love Glen's work. Layne Redmond his first long term student who he performed with then became a teacher as well and is the inspiration for our channel!
The drum that Glen is playing in that video is an [ET-8422-GV]-BODHRAN, PRETUNED, GLEN VELEZ, 22" DIAMETER, 4" DEPTH, VENWOOD NATURAL, which uses a fixed Fiberskyn Diplomat head.

The technique he's using can be applied to many different hand percussion instruments and is often referred to in the Latin world as a "moose call", "lions roar", or "finger rub". A more formal name would be "Glissando", to glide from one pitch to another.
@codgerfiasco The deeper frame drums are called Buffalo Drums. I have a Remo 14" with a graphic on it. The graphic also ads a bit more deeper sound because it is an additional layer on the skin.
amazingly tastfull performance.Thats a really deep shell compared to the ones remo sell these days. does anyone know what diffrence if any there is between deep and shallow frame drums? is that 18" or 16"?
A common way to achieve this effect is to lightly wet your middle finger (either with sweat or saliva) and, using your thumb for support, slide it across the surface of the head with a certain amount friction. Since this technique requires consistent pressure to produce the effect, it may be easier to use wax to get a more fluid sound, especially for beginners.
I've just purchased a Remo 22" Frame Drum like this one although the Rim on his looks slighly deeper than mine. I don't know how he gets that sound when he slides his fingers across the drum.
Does anybody know how he produces this overtone-flute like sound in the beginning? I've tried simply immitating what I see but it doesent work... Oh, and thanks for uploading this great video!
Actually, this is a bodhran judging by the fact that it is a Remo and the video shows a deep drum when it shows the side view and it has a 4 way cross member on the back. The Remo Daf drum does not have this feature and also has attached jingles which this drum does not. However that said, this must be an older Remo because I can't find anthing like it on their current website.
Glen brother, would you mind showing me the left hand fingering techniques please in another video , and perhaps explain the technique just on the articulation hand tone hand please.
Thank you Glen.

Thanks Glenn for decades of pushing frame drum performance to the edge of brilliance.

Glen is the absolute top on framedrums...saw him do things never saw before...just amazing...love tha guy`s talent
wow.
First time seeing both a frame drum played, and Velez.
Thanks! Now I want one!

amazing. Was lucky enough to take a class with him yesterday. He is an marvelous teacher.
Wow.... Rhythmic fingers... Beautiful ... Amazing talent ...
Glen Velez is the master. Thanks for posting this, I've never seen him perform "in person" before, only via CD or Radio.
absolutely stunning, how he put the sweet point of the drum and make it sound

Check out Tom Teasley.

Now that’s a percussionist! Wish I had on some live gigs!!!
Many years ago, this video changed my life

Such soul. Bravo.
Absolutely amazing solo play!
That was amazing, especially the ending!
fantastisch und meisterhaft - absolut faszinierend !
That sounds ominous. Love it.
Beautiful!
Beautiful and amazing as always!!
gives me chills. . .
amazingly tastfull performance.Thats a really deep shell compared to the ones remo sell these days. does anyone know what diffrence if any there is between deep and shallow frame drums? is that 18" or 16"?
Simply amazing!
CLAP CLAP CLAP! excellent! BRAVO!
I love it :)
I Love your art !!!
I just discovered him, and it's awesome !

that is just great!
Wish I could play like that!!! Awesome!!! ;-)
Incredible...
Завораживает и навевает картины разные и мысли...хорошо.
@codgerfiasco Deep shells have much more 'Dum". That one's much bigger than 18", probably closer to 28".
soooooo good!
best framedrummer ever...
Fantastic indeed!
Dance to it, then you can feel the talent right down to your bones, not just your ears.

@nimajnebenneb: Not in this case. And some Irish bodhran players don't use tippers (i.e., sticks); just their hands.
you are the best, where are you?
the ending is perfect
now this is what I call music
@MrFair Thank's dude, will try it :-)
Does anybody know how he produces this overtone-flute like sound in the beginning? I've tried simply immitating what I see but it doesent work... Oh, and thanks for uploading this great video!
amazing!
Sounds so Amazing :DDDDDDDDDDDD

Very Kool
AMAZING!
Amazing!!!
Nice.....
How different Glen looks now. More relaxed and refined movements, IMHO.
Search 'Glen Velez Solo Performance'.
How many inches is the diameter of this drum?
Is it tunable?
@glorplaxy missed tombak!
yup
yeah, was thinking it would be a sweet duo
Very nice
Remarkable
Ha! That is hilarious!!! Good one!
The master.
Glen brother, would you mind showing me the left hand fingering techniques please in another video , and perhaps explain the technique just on the articulation hand tone hand please.
It's a Persian Daf finger snapping technique. There are several videos on how to do it. Search for Frame drum finger snapping technique.
he talks with the instrument, I know that language!
@PorroFirst In which moments?
It's not unlike making a wine glass ring. Your "skidding" finger makes resonance.
Is that a teaditional Irish Bohdran? What is the name of that drum?
skills
you can hear where dub gets its inspiration from in this performance
Can anyone help me, I have a frame drum that has started to cup/warp, what could I do to straighten it again?
The best!!
@codgerfiasco Looks like 22''
The day I get this good I'll know for sure I'm King Sh?t !!!!!
Look up David Kuckhermann, he has a set of very good instructional DVDs.
@glorplaxy
I play like this style with bodhran.
Could you please tell me which Remo frame drum this is? It's not a bodhran is it?
yea!!!!!!
One Channel ?
Remo drums are usually synthetic. I have not seen one that is not.
Le croisillon derrière l’apparente à un bodhran, un bodhran de grande taille...
Jeez man. What do you have for breakfast?
@glorplaxy bodhran is played with a stick
Is it me or does that drum make a light saber sound
Medicine!
is this a duff
FFF........................ brillaint.
Yeah. It's insane, right?
volkan konak degil mi la bu!
miammm
You just push down on the head and move your finger across it
@codgerfiasco Deep shells have much more 'dum'.
hahaaaa...:-) you are R-ight :-)
ぺろっ！
make your fingers wet and sweaty, it helps ;)
It looks to me like remo...
is this a joke or something? there’s no sound
not true. hes just that good
hört euch misirli ahmet an...listen to misirli ahmet...i think much more better...if not the greatest in this genre...
"indians used drums to induce trance? really? how did they even do tha-"
now I see.
