HAPI Drum E-Minor demo, steel tongue drum, Funky Little Hapi Hang Out

HAPI Drum from http://HapiTones.com This is a HAPI drum in the key of E minor. 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!

great instrument just like the hang drum. BTW why does the ugly logo have to be so big and centered, nevertheless glittery? smaller engraved/silk screened would be much more elegant. Food for thought.

@intercitty Thanks for the comment. This was back when we first started, 3 years ago, now we have more models and scales, standardized logo's, and no "glitter" :)
