Hapi Drum - Pygmy Scale key of E, recorded in the HapiTones.com Hapi Hang Out

[alxk78]

can't get enough of this song, you rock dude I coudn't descide between a D akibono or a E pygmy now I know what I'm getting, thanks bro.

[amcaization]

you got some balls bru!

[JohnnyStreets]

Sounds great! Is the "pygmy scale" the same as a minor scale? I didn't hear any notes that didn't sound like e minor. Keep up the good work!

[oddmusic]

@JohnnyStreets Thanks Johnny, there's a bit of a difference, the E Minor Pentatonic scale on the Hapi Drum is: E3 G3 A3 B3 D4 E4 G4 A4, and the E Pygmy scale is: E3 F#3 G3 B3 D4 E4 F#4 G4

[Caconymic]

[moshack]

I just got one yesterday after waiting 3 months! It`s great. Can`t wait to get as good as this.. (dreaming :)

[oddmusic]

I think you're pretty good already!

[pentica]

omg myself and my friends want these!, i am very thrilled to see such a quality instrument, not only is it good looking but sounds really great. i am buying one very soon i suspect. just so long as i don't buy it and have it fly off on me or i play it once and little green alien corpses drop out, i am 100 percent sure of where i am gonna spend my well earned dollar.

[oddmusic]

Glad you like them Pentica, if you ever have any questions about them, let me know! :)

[pentica]

will do bud :D i nee some time to think about what to ask. lol

[Xperience22]

das instruiment is sowas von gel aber die szenen mit den spielzeug sachen sind etwas komisch ^^ ;)

[scccott]

John once again shows his thoughtfulness with sparse but effective backing tracks on this. The mediatative quality is high (or vice versa). Hapi Holidays to him and you all.

[oddmusic]

Why thanks, sccott! Hapi Holidays to you too, from the Hapi Crew :)

[bibinca]

helicopters ? why !!!!? otherwise good

[onegoodalphaman]

man....those aliens are gonna be pissed when they find out what you are doing with their spaceship...

[Kingjeffkoch]

sounds good but what the hell why are this helicoper and the other things there lol

[Hobejo]

where can I buy a hapi drum?

[kwright13]

look in the description to the right with the website...There is a good long wait right now - but it is REALLY worth it. Believe me. I now own the hapi he played in this video and I can't stop playing!

[iamshpongled]

you should read the discription. his drum is "custom". you dont have the one in this video.

such a loser, haha.

[kwright13]

yes, I must be a loser. This is indeed a custom painted one and I do indeed have it. Look at my videos.

[linkus666]

LOL!! omg im so high and that what trippy to watch =O

[KnockSquared]

Very Creepy.... in a good way ;)

[ninjakiwi999]

I absolutely LOVE the hapi drum. I have one coming this month, and I plan on purchasing more. but, when you are exhibiting the sound of one of your drums, Please don't add any other synthesizing sounds to it! I liked what you did with the Akebono scale video, and I like this drum, but I think that less (or no) synthesizing sounds would better show the sound to people.

[TheHAPIplanet]

To a degree I agree with you, but I think that the HAPI drum has a place WITH other instruments, not just solo.

[rochet75]

really cool stuff

[jcmegabyte]

Super smooth sounds - very nice! Loved the space toys too! Hahaha XD

[TaelurJamez]

oh my ...what have you done with it at 51 seconds LOL!

[TheHAPIplanet]

Oh no - another HAPI drum to save up for ! Great tune as usual.

[Carmylita]

Nice Job! How'd you sneak this one past me without me being the first to comment? Love this, and the color is awesome too, nice playing and mixing. Carmy

[PlayHanghang]

Nice composition, nice HAPI sound, but the drumset is a bit dominant. Mix it down and you've got a keeper!

[oddmusic]

Thanks! Yeah, the drums weren't as loud before YouTube got ahold of it, but I agree with you, they get a little too crazy at times :)

[ym2413a]

I personally think the drums are nicely mixed in. :)

But I'm listening on mackie studio monitors instead of PC speakers.

Either way this sounds great!

[Etonlor333]

This one is pretty trippy John. I'm glad to see you are diverse in your music styles. I still enjoy listening to your preflight CD too. I enjoy your music a lot. Keep up the great work!

[adridarth99]

is there a special way to pronounce hapi?

[kwright13]

just like Happy

[akalenda]

Nice! I'd have reduced the volume on the drum track temporarily for the portions where the synth comes in, though :)

[jjmsmusic]

Drums a bit loud, but still cool.

Do you buy all these HAPI drums or do you get them made for you since you advertise them?

[oddmusic]

I'm involved with the people who make them, and sell them from my website, though I don't do any of the physical production.

[ixkey]

Beautiful drum! Awesome music!  Very happy. :o)

[mankara]

dude. fuckin rockin

[rochet75]

dude can i haz one?

[ilikescreaming]

i don't love this scale like ake bono but its still pretty rockin.

[cyspaceboy]

It is so rockin'-A-W-E-S-O-M-E-!

Thanks John!!!

Alexander.

[oddmusic]

thanks for the comment spaceboy!

[Ahrlera]

I'm not sure if this is a collaboration or if you did all music/drums/etc on your own. But whatever...it rocks and I love your approach.

[oddmusic]

Thanks for the comment! yep, I'm guilty of making all the noises and video :)

[Filnerin]

Great! Love it! Cool equipment

[JakeJeck]

Great vid.

You should make that annotation a link to the ebay auction.

[CR00K]

Man, make videos more often. Love this music.

[DaveDcDhol]

Fantastic!

[jdstorms]

very good. the drum has a beautiful tone and fits well with the backing tracks.

[Elemenopee129]

i think the song would have worked better without the loud snare, it sorta stopped the flow of wavy flowing sounds cause it's such an abrupt sound.

[akaCharlieG]

I freakin love your music

this is awesome

[Boondockflyfish]

fantastic!

[WhiteTiger333]

Delicious music and what a fun video! Makes me want to take out my toys and play.
