Does anyone else find it odd that hang drums are so outrageolusly expensive and so imposible to find, but yet every poor street musician has 2 sometimes 3 of them? some one please explain, becuae I would like one some day, Ihaving been a drummer all my life and feel I have earned the right to own and play one! Thank you!
Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions about people! Alot of these "poor street musicians" make a living as a musician. Many supplement their incomes by playing on the streets, earning money by gigs, street performances, CD sales, etc. For many musicians, music is their life and they invest all of their money into their passions. Also, first gen Hangs used to sell for about 300 Euros and have gradually increased in price over time. You used to be able to buy them through distributors and
not have to wait on a waiting list. This is why many of the earlier players have more than one. I think I counted 6 in one of Rafael's videos. This hang player is Rafael Sotomayor. He has traveled the world with his Hanghang and is a very well known Hang player. If you want a hang, all you need is patience. You got plenty of time to save up, because the wait list is VERY long. Do a google search for Hang Blog and you can find out how to get on the list.
