  • An excellent and interesting video. Bought a dramyen as a present for somebody a few years ago! It's still in irs packaging . Wonder if I should try to learn it now; used to play guitar.

  • @amdo2008dragon I played one while in Nepal (I'm a guitar player so I thought the techniques would translate fairly well - they did, and the locals found blues on a dramyin hilarious for some reason) but I haven't been able to find one anywhere in Britain. Any ideas?

  • thank you, very useful

  • B-E-A is the standard tuning. I was also told by some players that C-F-A# or C#-F#-B is also used, depending on the song being played.

  • i want to learn how to play the drumyen as well .

    I am a tibetan in london right now and i want to learn this since i was a kid but i gave up .

    i think when i come back to dhasa i will learn this drumyen .

  • Excellent video, thanks so much for posting it
