@cellomunchkin It has a texture on the coating of the drum, like "hammered copper" so it has texture to the feel of the drum, but it doesn't feel rough, it still has a smooth feel to it, if that makes sense :)
@oddmusic cool :) this is the one I MIGHT be getting, I am actually a cellist and I like to experiment with different sounds , this type of drum has caught my attention , very nice music
@pfh3 Let me know some general info on the content of the podcast, and credit me somewhere with the music, and I think it would be fine to use some of my sounds :) -- John
@oddmusic I'm an upper cervical chiropractor & I primarily produce a testimonial podcast, but also occasionally publish interviews with prominent people in my field, as well as the occasional audio report piece. It's the latter that I would most likely use your music and sounds for, & you would most absolutely get full attribution. Thank you so much. I will send you a link to the first story I use it in.
BTW, I tried contacting you via your websites, but none of the contact forms would work.
@zugurudumba I agree... but good luck finding one!! Lol I WISH I could get my hands on a hang but since that is virtually impossible, I think I'll settle with getting the Hapi UFO :P
I like this sound, but if your using what looks like a miced up sure 57 and mixer, then I'm not sure as the tone is so deep and uncontrolled that it sounds horrible in my computer speakers. Does it sound better recorded than live and can the tones be modified? Thanks.
Something every kid should own. Along the same lines as a Steel Drum however seems to have a completely different vibe unless that's just the composition. The tone does seems quite different however.
Yes, John the Sisters is an old video, I re opened it for some who wanted to see it. Unfortunately, my sis has faded into the background again, and I haven't heard from her for months. I'm used to her doing this. Have a musical day, Gloria
Hi John, I'm mesmerized by this unique instrument with the beautiful tones. I don't see one in my near future, but will continue enjoying your video(s) Gloria
@dante this channel is more about music than most... when is the last time you invented a new instrument, don't you think you'd want to offer it to the world too?
what feel does it have ? like smooth or ?
