Ich kann es kaum erwarten zu sehen, was du mit ihnen machst! Gefällt Ihnen die Notiz des Flux? Wenn es Ihrem Surge zu ähnlich ist, kann ich den Ton immer noch erhöhen. Ansonsten werde ich es heute versenden!
100%. Anthropologically speaking (holy crap I spelled that right the first time), all music stems from the most primitive of musical instruments: the voice, and the tendency to create rhythm based on - you guessed it - the heart beat. Music is in all of us and can be brought out in limitless ways. Right after humming, the next thing we did was start tapping twigs and rocks together.
In English, jew’s harp, mouth harp, and jaw harp are the most common terms, but there are also regional terms depending on where in the world it is from. This one is a drymba from Ukraine whereas it would be known as a vargan in most of Russia and khomus from Siberia.
@@Диман_Варган Shaun Jones makes stringed instruments in addition to his jaw harps. I do not remember the name of his stringed instruments. But yes! His jaw harps with the reeds are fantastic tools!
So I do have some plans to start making tutorials in the future and this one got me thinking about about focusing on rhythms and approaching it like a drummer. The triplet is an easy thing to get down if you understand it, so I’ll actually go over some music theory with my practice pad so people can see how it counts out. It adds a cool swing without having to get into weird-ass time signatures.
Dude's harps are freaking NUTS, right? And damn, you play it beautifully as always. Have you tried rapid in-out plucking? My stainless D2 is a techno MACHINE with that technique. Rewatching the vid, your hand's just moving too darned fast for me to see if you're doing that here at all; the kickass breath work also makes it tough. When you releasing a harp album, man?
They really are. This is my first of his and I love it so much. This one doesn’t feel right played outwards and the sound is slight fuzzy/dull, compared to inwards. It feels much more solid inwards and I asked Shaun if he would recommend outward play and he said he wouldn’t (he doesn’t recommend for ANY harp, but admits certain harps he will play that way). This one, just due to the shape of the trigger, I don’t want to risk it. On my harps, I intend for them to be played that way, so to answer your question finally, yes! I love rapid in-out plucking, but on this harp it doesn’t feel right and so I do focus more on breathing techniques with this one! Haha as for the album, believe it or not, my band actually has 2 we self released on Spotify. Now, it’s mostly stuff we’d written and played since high school, but there are some songs where I experimented with a shitty old Snoopy harp before it broke. That’s what started me down this whole jaw harp rabbit hole to begin with! We plan to do more, particularly incorporating more harp. But if you want some metal/prog/blues/jazz/rock/indie, this might scratch your itch for now. Hahah open.spotify.com/artist/5UVXsaBkf8wtWzjNYQSfeb?si=RKpfsZupT1WXWjOqGpP72g
Thanks! Subscribe for more band shirts including one with the “Hot Rats” album cover and one from a Dweezil concert, oddly enough where he played Hot Rats. Hahaha
My equipment is pretty old. V-Drums are TD-12s and I use 1/4” patch cords for LR channels into a Tascam audio interface (US-144 or something). The interface is then USB into my laptop and I’m using an old version of Cubase to record. But for the phone/camera, I have a small Joyo audio interface that I plug a 1/4” patch cord into and then USB/Lightning into my iphone.

Me too! Here’s the website, although I actually got mine through a Mongolian tourist website sold under a different name (long story). jews-harps.com/product/jews-harp-warrior/
Thanks! It’s been a while since using this harp so my playing style had changed a bit. I need to be very aware of how stiff the reed is compared to others I’ve been playing lately or else I tend to snag my finger on it. Every harp plays differently so it’s always a good practice to start slow and feel the harp out first.
