[Digalog]

Goosebumps!!!!!!!

[jordan7278]

Absolutely beautiful. This isn't helping my conflict of interests. In the next few months I gotta decide what my career will be, something in the field of music (Currently a senior and ive been playing tuba for 6 years and acoustic/electric bass for 3) or a career in game design. I really dont want to teach music or be involved in the technological aspect of it, I just want to perform, but the options are so limited and etc. Anyways, kudos to you, you are a true musician and I wish you well.

[Augustusdavid]

@jordan7278 If you are willing to practice 3-6 hours a day for.....well the rest of your life, find the VERY best teacher and do everything exactly the way they've told you , are willing to possibly be poor for the rest of your life, can live through countless rejections, then pursue music performance as a career. If not...then keep practicing on the side and put that same amount and MORE energy toward game design. Everything done well is hard!

[JovannyNES]

hello, how can i donwload this piece of art, i love it!!

[Augustusdavid]

[PUMPKINSZERO]

how much does 1 US dollar equal in euros?

[LazyArigato]

" 1 U.S. dollar = 0.648929267 Euros "

[theorgrin]

jepp, the hang drum is really expensive,more than 1000 euros I think, and theres only these two guys in Switzerland who makes them, you have to be put on a list to get one.

[ashsashsalfaldwn]

Nope -- anywhere from $500 to $1500 -- depending on how you get it (being able to walk into their store or getting it shipped, and to where...)

[Arkytaurus]

ive sin this guy playing on the streets of amsterdam, that thing sounds amazing... expensive shit!! apparently it costs about 1000 euros

[theorgrin]

shit, this video was too damn short! more of this, wonderful to hear these two instruments together.

[dorotheafayne]

Beautiful! Dorothea :))

[JuanMendez335]

this is too f*ing good...

[CherylLuvsJesus]

Sweet! But too short :(

[onzatv]

very nice

[kurono06]

FINNALY! Ive have seen all hang drum videos and THIS is what Im looking for... its the PERFECT instrument to play in the streets or in a subway station and leave a cap lying there to get a win a few bucks...

[voodoocop]

that was awesome, in a awesome way.

[textheguitar]

That was amazing but too short...

Just like when the stripper says she'll go home with you.

[pianjas]

that's nice said 8)

really amazing.... pity it came to an abrupt end

[Lithzay]

Wow, it's an excellent sound.

[fattoldpig]

nice music, you should make more

[johnaztec]

FAO David France - what is the name of the song you were playing please mate? - beautiful.

[Augustusdavid]

Glad you liked the song!! I just made that up on the spot. I may try to expand on it since people really like it. I'll let you know if i do!

[aaballers]

i wish this was longer, its a beautiful tune

[britishrock7]

hang drums arent that expensive.. theyr about 2000 dollar.. but theyr produced in bern(switzerlnad) and i dont think that there is a factory anywhere else in the world

[ryanfallon]

not that expensive...ha

I wish I could have 2 grand..

[duncanyomen1234]

nice cool we want more

[lightandcrispy]

this was amazing

[uberganja]

As a fellow percussionist,Djembe and Dhumbec are my misstresses; till now maybe :) are these things really so hard to get? I mean really. cuz I want one . awesome sound would go nicely up here in the PNW. /|\

[cidadaovagamundo]

I make the same question. Where I can get one? It really sounds GREAT.

[DaArbiter]

words canot express. thank you for this music.

[kipoman]

beautiful sounds

[tdwp1992]

omg! that video actually left me speechless, so beautiful...and considering i usuall listen to death metal...i think i may have to get a hang drum!

harry! x!

[XemolytX]

thats exactly the way i feel man

i love death metal

but music like this.

nothin better

[killingthecats900]

good luck trying to get a hang drum, they're really expensive

[KuFiSmackerZ]

both of them together sounds reallly good!. i like it.

[greigpil]

saw these guys in Amsterdam a couple of years back, though they a xylophone player as well: and some guy climbing a lamp post balancing a football on his head.

i was on a quest to get a hang after that day until i discovered i had to go to Switzerland to get one...

[Augustusdavid]

wow! That was when we first met and jammed! I forgot about that balancing act!!

[spacemonkey1112]

I can sing Sisqo's Thong Song to this

[m0Nng0]

And you should. Post a vid please! :)

[tullasmachine]

wat ever happened to sisqo?? after the thong song i guess he made enough to retire ha

[crisspie]

very nice... I expect more..

[Skeletforce]

I love the combination, the tune and the hanghang... nice!!!

[shadow2006ft]

Man i want a hang soooooo bad. If ANYONE knows where i can get one PLEASE message me :)

[adammerlinsmith]

Only two guys make them in Switzerland. You have to personally mail them.

[ptlasiter]

Yea it's true. You have to send them a letter and then be invited to their factory in Switzerland and have an interview. It's cool because it's so exclusive but it's also a pain in the ass from everybody else.

[sickofbullshit]

ebay

[Daakee]

I REALLY enjoyed this. I wish it was longer :p

I think it may be even better if you had a shamisen in it. I could see Agatsuma playing along with this song. Would work wonderfully. But even with out a shamisen its amazing.

[777ZaxtionMan777]

thats what SHE said!! i still learn american humor, but my brother below said I liike!

[drummerjoelb]

Wow... awesome.

[ssvenson]

I saw Davide Swarup live this summer in Amsterdam. He's good. Cheers!

[cloudycanyon]

love the combination

[MinoTauren]

Oh Man. This IS SO amazing.

[lilangmi]

Very nicely done! I love sounds like that, very raw, very complex in its simplicity.

[splitlevel]

Wow, this vid ended Waaaay too soon.

[Augustusdavid]

check out hang drum and violin 2

[freakgeeky]

I was waiting for the chinese kung fu movie to begin.

[Floralin]

lol

[Isabelly]

what is that violin melody can anyone tell me please?!

[Augustusdavid]

The violin melody was an on the spot improvisation!

[b33b01kuro]

whats the name of this song?

[Augustusdavid]

There is no current name for the song. It was performed on the streets of amsterdam without any prior disscussion as to the form or name....

[b33b01kuro]

Damnnn nice beattt

[jon1156]

I close my eyes...only for a moment and the moment's gone.

All we do.....crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see.

Dust in the Wind. All we are is Dust in the Wind. Dust. In. The.

Wind.

[johnson01]

Colemanballs.

[droppedsoap]

AMSTERDAM... UH.. MaryJane? Yes?

[Windspear]

sounds kinda like apocolyptica/

[nayrbsex]

Fuck you!!!! fuck your storey corney ashole

[agoniesofgod]

well played sir

[backtofitzgerald00]

it's become more and more difficult to find such beautiful music nowadays.

thank you.

[Augustusdavid]

Thanx for the compliment!

[schattenkrieger13]

thats in amsterdam right??

[grail68]

wow, this is an amazing matchup that I never would have thought of... beautiful

[EdmundSquid]

This has got to be some kind of intercultural phenomenon, The HANG drum sounds beautiful with any instrument.

[Probablyacowtbh]

That was....amazing o.O

[Augustusdavid]

Thank you for your kind words!

[SimonBoholm]

I am so gonna try that drum out!

[jahjahblah]

that was awesome, wow!

[godofallpenguins001]

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PajamasNorthampton]

Id like to see a longer video of this melody.

[Augustusdavid]

check out Hang drum and violin 2

[PajamasNorthampton]

ya i saw it...its good too...but this is just a little bit sweeter of a tune.I like it alot.

[gigagroove]

Great to see humans together in music and peace. Great.

[themoleman69]

amazed and mesmerized...

[Hervorragend604]

It's a real shame that you can barely hear the hang drum over top of the damn violin; everybody knows what a damn violin sounds like.

:(

[allpowersrise]

seriously that drum sounds amazing...would you happen to know where i could get one?

[repentancex]

They're only made in Sweden, and if you have around $3,000, then go for it.

[lokifuchs]

they're only made in switzerland!

[HanHanFilms]

they are only made in switerzland, or seeden, and the will only sell you one if your a high quality musican and if they like you. its wierd. and they cost alot. my bro wants one XD

[Minerva42488]

I saw Davide Swarup playing when I went to Amsterdam this summer. It was really moving.

[Ljandj99]

amazing, I need to see more, human enlightenment is in full force

[Augustusdavid]

Check out Hang Drum and Violin 2

[evan12man]

guess what guys there's a new invention its called a shower! god damn the only thing "cool" about u si that u smoke weed.seriously u guys probably stink!!!!!!

[KronicPain]

that hang drum sounds almost like a piano, a more accessible, portable piano.

Cool!

[hsdkahkjcbaksc]

And yeah - I do think you can come up with a lot of brilliant ideas by using the simplest of combinations. For instance I've heard a lot of insane tracks made with just some oscillators (no effects on it, mind you - just enveloped sinewaves) and percussion. I hope you know what I'm talking about :P

[jackXass]

Why is it so short!?

It was getting good!

Not that it wasn't in the beginning, but still.

[tamadrummer21]

Seriously man why do they cut shit off?

[DaveTravels]

Check out Hang Drum and Violin 2 its longer!

[ePhilosopher]

c'est lavie

[noodletoob]

Haha no way... I saw this guy playing the Hang in Amsterdam this summer. Rad.

[TheColoradoan]

Beautiful.

[fasekaiman]

es hermosa la armonia de sonidos que logran obtener el artista con ese instrumento. saludos desde mexico seguimos revolucionando el infierno

[Jucaoma]

jajaja

[hsdkahkjcbaksc]

All of my life I've known a classic to be something that sets the example for really good art, and that's what I meant - really good music, that lasts forever, is usually on a higher level and the pop fan mass can't understand it, cause they only like music that's so simple you can't even call it minimalistic - pop is just retarded.
