@Raveman The "Flanger" effect? Also commonly called the whale call technique. Very hard on the Sea drum since its double headed and filled with steel balls. Its actually an easy technique, you can practice it on a floor tom for example. Applying the right amount of pressure is key, too much pressure and you will skip over the surface, not enough and you sill slide smoothly across it. Once you get it you will never forget how to do it, you just need to do it over and over and over.
@MidnightHabit Which drum are you interested in? This video features about 7 different instruments. Is it the frame drum I use at the end of the video?
@MidnightHabit The whale call technique can be done on either natural or synthetic heads. I can even do it on a snare drum, its just a matter of getting comfortable with the surface you are using. Its easier on larger diameter drums, such as the 20" or 22" inch tars. After time it becomes second nature.
@Raveman The Doum is optional, but it will help you at first. The head needs to be triggered a bit. Starting a whale call from 'scratch" is perfectly easy, but only after you teach your finger how much pressure to apply. Its the same concept of a bow moving across a violin string. Its the ring finger typically, the thumb is placed behind the ring finger. You might be able to find some tutorials here on UA-cam, search for frame drum whale call.
If anyone could answer three questions that would be fantastic: 1. What is the technique he is using on the frame drum where he slides his finger around the outer edge to create a long sound? Is that the 'whale call technique'? 2. Can you perform this technique on a Meinl Sea Drum? 3. What is/ who makes the stand he put his frame drum on at the end?
@ltsalzman Well, I've gotten a reply from Meinl saying it's the Tar 22" but all the one's I see have a standard goatskin head, while the one in this vid has a crescent along one edge. I get the technique, but now I'm wondering if this sound can be produced with the standard head or if I need one like is shown here. I don't see any other vids on yt demonstrating this effect, either. I totally want to be able to make this sound. Love it.
@Apertur3 That is the whale call technique yes, on the Sea Drum it is possible. Actually easier on a one sided drum. If you did the effect on the Sea drum I would try it on the natural skin side. Meinl makes the frame drum stand that you see me using at the end. I have it mounted to a cymbal stand. Great frame drum holder.
@ltsalzman Been hunting for unusual instruments with cool sounds. I'm guessing y'all are talking about that hand drum (I'm a percussion novice). What kind of drum is that? Maybe I missed it, but I don't see it described or named on the channel. I totally want one. What would I ask for?
@ltsalzman Hi, first of all thanx for the right term :) I've tried on a frame in the shop days ago but nothing. If Ive understood right I've to do a doom and after that sliding with the thumb around the external of the head? Right?
@ltsalzman Thank you for your help! I know you're very busy, but I would love it if you posted a video demonstrating the Whale Call Technique on a Sea Drum.
@ltsalzman OMG. I'm color blind, so maybe it's more obvious to others, but I'm told the crescent is just a shadow. Well, I'll be looking to call some whales now. lol. Thanks for the help ,'8)

sounded like the music in the first Crocodile Dundee movie

What shaker are you using, it makes a magnificent clack sound too!

Yes!! It seems no one is manufacturing these instruments. Perhaps for patent reasons? Regardless, I think there's a lot of interest out there.
what is the instrument at 0:52? thanks
Triangle
How do you made the "flanger" effect on the frame? I've tried so much with my meinl sea drum but I'm not able to do it. Is a special frame?

@ltsalzman Ok thanks a lot! Study and try, try, try, try... ;)
