HAPI Drum from http://HapiTones.com This is a HAPI drum in the key of E Major, the model is called the Hapi "vibe". The unique tone of the HAPI (hand activated percussion instrument) is created by a tuned vibrating steel tongue. The concept is similar to a wooden tongue drum. When a tongue is quickly and lightly struck with the finger or mallet it vibrates creating sound waves.
We have added dampening of the notes and drum body to keep the drum from becoming discordant and "ringy". This technique is built into each drum and provides excellent resonance while supplying the correct amount of dampening.
By placing low notes next to the appropriate higher notes we achieve multiple harmonics. Their vibrations create desirable overtones which compliment the timbre of the tone.
Players of the Hang, Tank, Hank, and Tongue Drums will enjoy playing a HAPI. Thanks for watching!

This is Adam Marrilaga, or 'Laga' for short, a 19 year old yirdaki talent from Galiwin'ku, Elcho Island, NE Arnhem Land.
Laga first learnt yirdaki from Wurduku (Larry Winiwini) when he was but a child. Winiwini tells me that he played yirdaki onto Laga's back to pass on his teachings; the results are now apparent for all to hear and see! Laga has grown into an accomplished yirdaki player in his own right and has a special talent above and beyond most yirdakimirr in Arnhem Land. He was recently at M*lk*y's funeral where he participated as a key yirdaki player.
Laga is of the Dhalwangu clan. His mother clan is Galpu, his own mother being Gaypardi. His father is deceased.
A shy, somewhat reserved and quietly-spoken young man with a gentle temperament, Laga is able to play a variety of styles; furthermore, he has the uncanny ability to mimic the styles of other well-known accomplished yirdaki players from throughout eastern Arnhem Land. His knowledge of song material is extensive and growing. His technical execution is brilliant, backed by his understanding of the intricacies of technique and the mechanics required to play certain rhythms and to achieve particular acoustic outcomes.
We're pleased to bits to bring Adam Marrilaga to YouTube and to be the first to showcase and to promote his extraordinary skill.
Enjoy!

Hang Drum recorded using a Contact Microphone
Music by John Pascuzzi of "a single thread"
If you like my music, feel free to hop over to my channel to check out the main instrument that I play, the "igil" at:
http://youtube.com/oddmusic
Thanks to all the commenter's I haven't thanked, YouTube won't let me reply directly to comments that aren't on the most recent page of comments, something isn't working, and they go by so fast I can't keep up. And a special thank-you to the haters too, you're comments are quite entertaining! :)
The song is called Space Bunnies, and yes (to some folks out there who wondered or think I'm "hand-syncing" or that this is somehow "fake" lol, like lip-syncing to a pre-recorded song) it was recorded live in one take, with a contact mic (the thing that's taped onto the instrument) plugged into an AdrenaLinn guitar processor (for the echo delays and the regular drum beats) and then straight into the video camera... super lo-fi. They are kind of tough to mic properly, since the sound comes out all around the top, so I was trying out a "contact mic" which is stuck to the surface of the instrument and picks up the vibrations of the metal, and then I figured why not plug it into an echo delay effects unit for fun. Was just experimenting and playing around one morning for awhile and then turned on the camera, so some fellow Hang players out there could hear how it sounded through a Contact Mic. But then others out there in YouTube-land seemed to like it, so I left it online.
Some folks think it's some elaborate conspiracy hoax, lol. There are tons of videos on YouTube with others playing these instruments, I just decided to add a little echo to it, no big mystery, thanks much for stopping by and checking it out.
And YES, there are a couple parts, especially on the muted notes around :50 where you'll hear a note but not see me hit it, that's because what you are hearing is a delayed echo of a note that I hit a couple seconds before. Sorry for the long in depth explanation, but for some reason, some people think it's voodoo or something.
The little wooden rectangle on the Hang Drum is the Contact Mic, stuck to the surface with contact mic putty, the blue masking tape is to isolate and hold down the wire coming out of the contact mic so it doesn't rattle around while I'm playing, otherwise that noise would get picked up by the mic.
Whew!

I'm working on a CD, everyone! A version of this song will be on it. I'm very pleased with how things are going so far. It should be ready to sell in 2-3 months (finish recording, mix, master, create album art, and press CD's). I want to do it right, so thank you for your patience.
