This is not just any tongue drum. This is the King of tongue drums, made by perhaps the finest manufacturer of tongue drums in the world, Hardwood Music, in Flagstaff, Arizona. Most tongue drums are not tuned this well and don't sound as rich as this one.

[sebars30]

It's a Tongue Drum you can have it with 3-6-8-12 or 15 tongue you can also have a big one for the bass

[modelchubs]

[DrtyWrm]

This is my favorite song from him, but I must admit I am not familiar with all of his work (songs) The sounds from that drum he is using are intoxicating!!! Great vibe. peace

[pumarob]

You should check out all of his work.. so viriable from track to track, album to album... his collabortation with the blind boys of alabama is amazing!

[DrtyWrm]

Yeah I had bought the Ben Harper concert DVD that this footage came from. "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" Thanks for the "Blind Boys" suggestion I will definetly get that. I think that was one of my issues the tracks are all over the place, that I couldnt figure out what HIS signature sound or flow was. But that can be good, it was just alot of different vibes to deal with at the time. Im not trying to box him in, I just wanted to know what to expect mentally and mood-wise. does that make sense?

[yffup]
