Thank you so much! I was chatting with a friend this morning and he had just purchased several of these for family members and himself… And I got so excited because I have been in the market for one but they’re also very expensive and I wanted something a little less expensive to begin with to see if it’s something I really want to spend time with. I am so excited! And you have been delightful to watch! I will definitely be reviewing other videos you have done and all future ones that you put out! And I’m about to click proceed to check out on the D minor drum💜

@isisrichards5391 2 года назад

Hi Molly thank you for the very informative video! I was at the swap meet and saw one for sale so I started doing research and I found you, YAY! I am getting one for my 17 yr old granddaughter as a gift, she plays lot's of instruments and I think this will be good for her being home schooled, she spends a lot of her time alone. She lives under quiet conditions so she feels as though she is disturbing the others if she plays her keyboard and certainly won't play the electric guitar and maybe a little bored with her acoustic guitar. She does read music however I am still uncertain which one to buy, I want it to be a surprise so I don't want to ask her which one she wants, any suggestions?

Miss, you are a gentlewoman and a scholar. I just got $300 worth of Amazon gift cards from my work for Christmas because it's probably my last year (I just got my compsci degree and they all know I may be out before the end of next year) and I've wanted a steel tongue drum for a minute, and I want one so bad. Like, I already play guitar but the instrument is amazing. This* made my search so much easier and is exactly what I needed. Edit - sorry I'm drunk, fixed mistakes in spelling.

@vinnyj101 3 года назад

Really good video. They all look so cool. Thanks for demonstrating with both hands and sticks. I have a question, what's the rope/band that wraps around these? The one I'm eyeing doesn't have one. Is it aesthetics or does it serve a purpose? Are they removable?

@MusicalMollyKhan 3 года назад

It's mostly aesthetics to cover up a rubber band that goes around some drums to dampen the sympathetic vibration of the metal. Or, on drums made of two half spheres, it covers up the welding point. It may be useful on a drum that doesn't have that band though?

@vinnyj101 3 года назад

Gosh, thanks! I'd been wanting to know this for a while.

@melindawiens275 9 месяцев назад

Hi, what's the decorative bamboo like skirting that wraps around some steel tongue drums? The skirting truly adds to the beauty of the instrument.

@Denise-SA 3 года назад

OK. I'm sold ... and made the purchase for the 14 tone drum that you demonstrated. I purchased it in the gold (yellow) with black number because I want to use it with elderly in a nursing home and hope that they can "see" the lines of the tongues and the numbers easier than a dark tongue drum. We'll see how it goes. I am very excited about finally getting one. Thank you for all your demonstrate for us!

@MusicalMollyKhan 3 года назад

What a great idea! I hope it works out well 😊

@Denise-SA 3 года назад

It arrived. 1) It looks great and the dark lines do aid location of tongue for "vision" ~ especially with my elders. 2) It sounds lovely with the mallets... but quite "dead" when played with fingers. Don't know why. 😟 Just "dull" when tapped with fingers.. doesn't sound like yours ... I wonder what could make the difference.

Tank drum is using a Numeric Notation, So we dont need to worry about the key from the drum except we want to play with a group like orchestra... i prefered a 15 tone rather than 14 tone.

@JaneKelly32 3 года назад

I may have to stop watching your channel because it’s getting me into so much trouble, hahaha! I have that purple drum - my favorite, one very similar to that gold, and I just ordered the black double note (because now I need a drum in D Minor) as well as a D Celtic Minor from NovaDrum. I also purchased the tiny purple one you reviewed, and I LOVE it! I have an ASteman moon drum made of nitrided steel, which I’m in love with. Plus I got two lyres, a 16 and a 19 string, neither of which I can part with. Never mind making a music room - instruments are taking over the entire house! 😁 I love it.

How do you think the Beat Rise hybrid drum you reviewed compares to these? In particular the double tongue. Is there a clear winner tone wise in your opinion? Great videos btw!

@hippiesweets1265 Год назад

I would also love to know her thoughts as Im trying to decide between the two. Ive done days worth of research and narrowed it down to those😂 its hard deciding by listening to videos of the tones bc the mic can really reverberate at times. My only dissapointment with it is that you cant play around with the magnets with either- but thats okay..im really just looking for d minor scale with those clear overtones.

Thank you for the comparisons. Really appreciate it. Between the 14 and 15 note drums, will having one less note on the drum make a big difference? I'm having such a dilemma cuz the 14 note one sounds great.

@MusicalMollyKhan 3 года назад

I don't think it makes much of a difference. You'll very rarely need that lowest 3 note. And I agree, the 14 tone has the best sound!

Help! I need to know what you think about The Balmy Drum ASAP. We just purchased the Rakumi, and it doesn’t sound nearly as good as my mom’s Balmy. I just couldn’t find ANY reviews on Balmy and hesitated to pay their astronomical prices for a drum for my daughter. However, quality is important to us. Please tell me what you think, as we are trying to get her one for Christmas.

Recently bought an Atma Buti 10 in. Key of C... Love it! So soothing and easy to play. It has a rubber like plug in the bottom hole, what is that for? I don't hear that much difference with the plug in place or removed

@MusicalMollyKhan 2 года назад

I think the rubber plug helps to muffle some of the more metallic overtones. It also lessens the chance of accidentally cutting a finger or hand on metal! 😊

Today, Amazon informed me that the seller shipped the item but...I noticed that the seller gave an invalid tracking number...so I looked into it, and discovered that he has a horrible customers rating: only 30 % of buyers are happy, 70% of customers complain that they never received the item or that they received something completely different from what they ordered. Brrr... I pray that I will be as lucky as you and I will get the drum ! :-)

@RoyArrowood 2 года назад

Is it common to strike the drum by swinging your thumb by turning your wrist? I think you could get close to the sound you get with the mallet that way but keep the natural feel of striking with hands. I feel like that is what would feel natural for me. Like the way I would slap a bass.

@hollyoliver5887 3 года назад

Do you know what the purpose is of having the hole in the middle of the drum? And what is the purpose of the whole in the bottom of the drum, should the plug be left in the bottom or not? Thank you

@MusicalMollyKhan 3 года назад

The hole in the middle of the drum has to do with the way it produces sound vibrations; the hole can be either on the top or bottom. Some brands plug the hole with rubber to dampen interfering vibrations. It's all up to you - however you like the sound best 😊

I don't have $300 to spend because I already have on several. I would like 2 octaves. I really would like tunable, but not essential. And I want to get a good, clean ring out of each tongue...tired of dead ringers, when the videos ring well. What is your best recommendation based upon the many used?

@MusicalMollyKhan 2 года назад

My best recommendation is the happybuy 14 tone drum for that: amzn.to/3BrWKn7 It's almost but not quite 2 octaves, just missing the low 3, but the sound is the best out of all the mass produced drums imo.

@greggoehring2207 2 года назад

@@MusicalMollyKhan thank you for the recommendation. I actually purchased the same drum by a different seller (SEAAN store) which I found for less. And it had the HLURU engraving on the back. It is very fun to play for a C Major scale tongue drum. Your note arrived after my purchase and was a good confirmation that I had likely made a great choice, and it was. Appreciate your videos demoing different. I also purchased the Harmonic Star 10" drum in D Major, but which will take magnets to modify the scale. Purchased both for the price of one of the big sellers of the 14" drum. Have you tried the Timber Drum Co Slit Tongue Wood Drum? It is very different, but then some of the same and quite fun to add yet another dimension of fun to music creation and enjoyment. Thanks again.
