[p0531d0n]

This is AMAZING. I'm out of words :))

[eliinbeth]

thank you so much

[Eusantdac]

Thank You so much for posting this video. And thank You so much for being so helpful in talking to me about the drum that i want made. I am sure it's going to be ... everything I want and more.

All the best, may Wakan Tanka walk with You. White Wolf

[aquia80]

I want one of these drums but customs would confiscate it. :o(

Rawhide drums and even the skins are prohibited here. I've been through some drum makers in my country and the quality is horrible. Your drums are so beautiful!

[iwakeat3am]

WOW - I love this - awesome 

[SunpalmShaman]

I have never heard someone play a frame drum like you do. It is some amazing and powerful medicine you have my friend

[tiggz1977]

I love that pause in the middle, it makes you stop and your whole mind just freezes, not even breathing. Then when he continues you breath again. Its a very cool sensation! I love this video and the beat.

Peace Brother!

[rockmindmusic]

maravilloso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shamanenteogenico]

Dear Atilla,

I'm impressed with the sound of your drum in this video. Extremely powerful healing sounds.

I'm a shamanic peruvian student surpassing the dimensions opened by Ayahuasca.

I live in Guatemala, I have 4 children. I'm a musician and I make a living by helping other musicians and independent producers with management of copyrights, production rights.

I would love to have a drum like the one in this video, or some other you wild recommend me for healing sessions.

Greetings.

Gonzalo

[Geneotsa]

[aylin2006able]

[pigeonflipper]

Milyen csodálatos filmet attila.I, mint a dobolás nagyon Tisztelet:)

[TheBlarges]

Do you think Hungarian troops played drums like this when they hunted the red bolsheviks over the russian countryside?

[Quickslash]

Atilla, thank you, my friend. Your drumming is very potent! I have found just as you have said, it's not a game, or weapon. I believe it was never meant to be used as such.

I wasn't sure at first(immature) but now I have began to understand more the way of things...still much to learn.

Thank you for assisting me and others on our journeys, I find much love in your video.

Many blessings from me to you and your family.

[Cseikgergely]

Üdvözletem :) Az után szeretnék érdeklődni, hogy egy hasonló hangzású dob körülbelül meddig él, ha csak kézzel játszanak rajta? Már nagyon régóta vágyom egy táltosdobra, mert mondhatni beszippant a hangja... de hajlamos vagyok erősen kötődni a hangszereimhez, és egy ilyen paripa aztán...

[csabrix]

Ez bitang jó! :))))

[Kaiaszda]

So kraftvoll wow! DANKE

[Heatherbery]

AMAZING!!!!!

[9sinuhe]

[BridgeHammersmith]

Absolutely great, attila!

[tubaduc]

EPIC! Gratulálok!

[asisorfree]

wow

[clockworksackboy]

beautiful work, thank you for sharing

takes me back to a place and time that was a drum circle in a dust storm in 06 as i came across seeking some form of shelter from the storm, and there in the middle of no where, was a group of 8 drummers playing their hearts out as the desert swirled around us. i sat accepting the gift that had been bestowed upon me in that moment, your gift is as welcome a surprise as theirs was then,

again thank you,

[teleke67]

Kedves Attila!

A hallgatása feltölt energiával. Minden nap jó lenne hallgatni!

[dobrinka2valkova]

gorgeous sounds!!! thank you!

[skydivingschool]

Atilla your relationship with your drum has inspired me. You really do make this drum talk. I now want to go onto develop my skills as percussion makes me feel alive. Thanks.

[Hagrar]

[stephfalk]

[oRelvaz]

lovely instrument, i would love to get one. i think it would go awesome with a didjeridoo! does it have a specific name or is it just a "shaman's drum"?

[rastalover79]

Hey! Big up! last week i made yourself my shaman drum ... is a goog way!

Nice time, nice sound!

greetings from Brno, CZ

martas

[RobieGate7]

I read many stupid comments in here... If you people are not interested in the way of the shamans don't watch their videos.

The "drumming proccess" is for meditation,praying and guidance through the world of the spirits. It can be hypnotic if played by experienced men, you can go intrance or you it can connect you with reallity when you are allready in trance...

[wotan976]

This is a Sacred art at the origin of Hungarians.South of the Nepal mountains the Shamans of the tribe Magar are associated with sacred and original knowledge. The shamans are assuming the role of the RAMA (GOD) during their shamanic sessions.

Read before you speak badly of things unknown.. Child is what you are..

[futureisnow1]

May Blessings of PEACE, LOVE & LIGHT fall upon you and your love ones today☽o☾♡ ☼ MR.DEE

[Pheobelyse]

Hi, I want more shamanic drums spiritual music like this.

Can you tell me where I download music as similar to playing you

Sry Im not good in english

[alexsurya1]

What a great talent you have!

I use to listen some shamanic music as a kind of healing therapy, and a way to reconnect myself with nature and Spirit.

I enjoyed your video very much...

peace

[DzsikPa]

Nagyon szép :)

[Cseikgergely]

Köszönöm :) csodálatos volt :)

[KatrEnaRaven1]

AWESOME!!!!

[Sanada34]

Kool Drum =}

[99Catharina]

You play very well....Nice!!!!

and where did you gain knowledge about this number-reversing...666 999?

For more then 12 years I tell that to people..exactly that...most of those people do not listen...

[BloeJackman]

i will never understand how anyone can dislike this. it was beautiful, thank you.

[kukibaba]

@t4c4

Dear t4c4!

You are afraid of the unknown. You are the prisoner of your faith and your dogmata,

The shaman ISM did not ruin the Indian ones but the white people_nation and the alcohol's, the champing deficiency. You have to recognise the Hungarians, the Huns, you may understand the things at this time. Till then no!

love: Attila Heffner

Kukibaba

[Kaukomieli22]

@kukibaba Just for your info, Hungarians are not Huns. Szekelys joined Attila's huns and now live in Transilvania. The closest to Huns are Bulgars. Just peep into their Gods before Boris made them christians. Hungarians have allways been peacefull people not warriors.

[irnek]

@Kaukomieli22 ahhahhahh, u think so.learn some european history before u talk stupid things and say hungarians wasnt warriors.

[spidart]

@t4c4

... what a BIG bullshit !

[kukibaba]

@t4c4

Thank you for the compliment!

Big bullshit - big thoughts.

Uff - spoken. My sibling!

Attila Heffner

[Cseikgergely]

@spidart No, it isn't, my friend. If you can't understand, then i explain for you. This isn't just music, it is trance, it is bliss, it is mantra for the souls, it is consultation with spirits.

[RockerZeki]

Áldjon meg Boldog Asszony Anyánk és Má-Tün a Magyarok istene!

[onlynyenyec]

Áldás!!

[Edubbplate]

This is really reallly really AWESOME!

[kukibaba]

Bleach the darkness!

The let 666 be 999 - you have to turn the numbers upside down only!

And you may see the reality then.

You see the ghosts and demons only now. You believe it this reality - though the reality the affection / LOVE/ , and it invisible...

KUKIBABA

[Jimlead]

@kukibaba Yin Yang. Can't go on without both of them!

[GodlikePlaylist]

i feel your drum,

i feel !

thx, it vry good stuff! thx again for uploading this awsome video.

[Szittya0]

bírom az ilyen külföldi okoskodókat mikor olyan hülyék mint a segg..ők egyetemen tanulják amit mi itthol gimiben és mégis tudnak okoskodni beszarok

[leprcon8]

sound like rain.

[Leinikki]

Erre nem tudok mást mondani, mint hogy: Köszönöm, Attila!

[metalger1]

das ist soooo übel was der kerl da macht/its so awesome what the guy is doing!!!!

[jeslee333]

Brilliant!

[supersymbiotic]

May i please inquire what these types of drum are called, the hand betaing ones with the tree of lfie in teh centre. It woulld be most appreciated...

[unshodpony]

Jus looks like a guy that likes to get ziggy with the drum is all...but your creative,

[KayeNightfall]

Awesome! It just sounds beautiful :)

[hustenovjak]

nice performance

[z0omz00m]

that beat is sick

[Haremma]

Wonderful : ) LOVE

[hungariancomposer]

Hol lehet ilyen dobot venni?

[Hungya7]

szívesen megtanulnám ennek a dobnak az elkészítését !

[bshwalker]

Wooo!

[yoobservador]

Is really great! Where can I get one of this?

[Jxoox]

brother i hear the spirit in your drum trying to come out but all it did was take me to a marching band place please with respect i ask you to stop the multi rhythm and just do straight beats and let the drums spirit come out so we can really feel hear know it's power

with respect

love and peace

mountainlookingfox

[UFMD1]

@Jxoox You speak of respect but show disrespect and ignorance. If this mans flame is like a raging, crackling fire as he plays, so it is. If yours desires slow and dull, then so it is. Post videos of YOU playing slow and dull then. This man is expressing the flame within him, you would do well to respect that, or ignore it and go about your own business, no?

[Jxoox]

@UFMD1 person

this man has the power to make a drum with great spirit but does not have the power to play it and let the drum truly speak it's power

it has nothing to do with my desire or his spirit [flame you call it]

and i can tell by your words just where you are in your development as a human being

keep on trying you may get to the fullness yet

[UFMD1]

@Jxoox So now you are also a psychic and the God of drum? Get over yourself. Who are you to decide how a drum should be played? I've seen him play these drums in many ways, including the older traditional rhythms. I do not want to attain to your hateful "fullness" as you call it. Judgmental and cruel is how you have displayed yourself here. May YOU find Peace and acceptance of others passion and expression. End of conversation.

[Jxoox]

@UFMD1

wow you got problems

kisses

[Boostarz]

Awesome!

[Junared47]

Got me tranced. Right on man.

[ScowlingWolf]

yes ,,,wont yesyr

[ss4706]

[gourbifly]

Ouaaaah.les dents m en tombent.

[XrevengaX]

[vaandres2007]

Respects and energy, positive vibration.

Thanks sir.

[fuffins1981]

Amazing!

[Cosmicbow]

Amazing energy !

Spaciba

[GixxxerKim]

Excellent. I wrote my friend to say this would go great with his digeree doo (spelling) and then realized your description says aboriginal drum. I almost heard the digeree doo in the background!

I am trying to find a method of building my own drum, since I gave mine away to someone who could use it. I also wanted one that I MADE myself, and one that had a tighter skin to make a higher tone rather than a dull thud with little resonation.

[hairlessdog101]

@GixxxerKim thats crazy u siad that cuz i can hear the same sound the digeridoo in vibrations the drums giving off

[homousios]

truly mesmerizing

[Jimlead]

Great! Even todays technology wouldn't be able to create this. Shamans would be proud of your drumming.

[Mjodtonden]

I get headdeache of this drum and his play.

[OwnedOver9000]

@Mjodtonden Then why did you listen to it? It sounds amazing!

[stopstar]

Respect from turkey attila!

[torvern]

[Hellchoir]

Excellent! Five stars given.

[crownedprinces666]

Fantastic drum and an unbelievable performance. Well done!

[mabbatt]

Talk about response and tonal variation! This frame drum is incredible! Nice performance as well, for sure. Thank you.

[schpeidermann]

[Azerbaycan]

Thanks a lot!

[Xantophia]

A Magyar táltosok örökkön élnek és élni fognak!!! Hungarian shamans rule!!!

[IvoniceAstrid]

I love this, the drum is amazing, you can hear it's voice and feel the communication between the three worlds

[Reneungaria]

jól nyomod:)

[mirabeska]

where can i find more of this guy?

[mujaku]

The drum is important in Siberian shamanism as it functions symbolically as a 'horse' for the shaman and, when beaten rhythmically, transports him to the centre of the world, the place of the Cosmic Tree that unites the celestial world with the Earth and with the supreme being, who causes a branch to fall from the free for the shaman to make the shell of the drum." ~ Shamanism by Margaret Stutley

[magyarokk]

nagyon tetszik Lars Shaman Ulrich:D

[BGLart]

[daimee2k]

[burggespenst]

Greetingz and I hope for more frame drum videos =)

[xxmajestik7xx]

I'm no expert but i would say buffalo.

[freaktor]

Sorry to say but there are no buffalos in Hungary.
