YAY!! This is going to be fun getting together on all the different notes up and down, in chords etc... for the next hour, day, week, year, the rest of my life 😅😋
Done! But basically no idea what I'm doing (when the right hand has the paradiddle)! Would have to spend a lot of time on this to get it. thanks, tho, a great future challenge to work on.
I purchased a drum i could afford from China for $100 and no doubt very sub par but a $3000 instrument is an incredible investment for a newbie. If i use a mallet it makes lovely sounds, if i use my fingers, not so much sound comes. Could be the cheap drum, could be that my tap isn’t hearty enough. Your touch looks effortless, which might be the drum, or it might be your skills. Likely both. This might be an unfair question, how can i know if I’m banging on a bad drum or not yet stroking my hands with the necessary force? I wish i could try an expensive drum in person but on the other hand, I kind of don’t dare! Ty
If you can find an opportunity to visit a maker near you just to try a quality instrument, I really recommend it. Maybe join one of the handpan community Facebook groups and see if there are any players near you willing to let you try. Usually a handpan costs more than $100 in materials to build + labour, overheads etc. so I doubt that what you have is of a quality that will allow a nice warm tone. It's probably not your fault that you struggle with your fingers. That said, I first learned to play on an instrument that was thin steel and not nearly as warm and stable as I'm playing now, but it taught me how to be a sensitive and precise player because I had to work so hard to get something nice out of it. Had that instrument for 4 years and eventually felt very stuck in my playing until I got a good quality one. It's not the end of the world, but if you want to develop your playing, you need something that will allow you room to progress ☺️
Thanks. This was my concern as well, although my drum was 375. I felt similarly.. wanted to try it first. I love the sound! I will eventually buy a better one. For now, I'm just trying to learn patterns and practice.
🤯 I didn’t think it would be this hard. Practice practice practice
This one IS a tough one haha
