Review and comparison HLURU drum 14 tones and 15 tones 

Thanks for your watching. “Pipa language” is a Chinese song

Thank you very much for watching ❤️

In my review videos, you will see and hear the actual sounds of the instruments that I review. To respect the listener, I do not use any software to edit the audio in my review video. Thank you for watching!

Happy to help you! Thanks for watching!

Bonjour! Thank you so much for your watching. The - sign between numbers mean you will hit two notes at the same time. Ex: if you see 3-5 means you need to play the number 3 and 5 at the same time.

Thank you for watching! The note in the middle just for add more lower tone. If your drum doesn’t have that note still ok.

@@AoiKumo9 thanks for replying! So instead of the 3 in the middle I would play the normal 3 without dot? 🤔 (I’m not really a musician hehe)

Yes I absolutely agree 👌

Yes, I've tried playing by hand but the sound is very small hahaha

I have the 14 tone and can get good sound with my hands. The trick is to use the pad part of your finger and kind of use your wrist to get a sort of bounce to it. Takes a very light touch.

Absolutely yes mallets are For beginners after a Week you Play mutch better without mallets

@@AoiKumo9 try more belief me

The drum is about 100$ USD

@@AoiKumo9 can you link where you buy them please?

@@lamxiujing8206 Please find on Aliexpress, there are more store has sell tongue drum. You should notice to the review of buyer about that drum they bought from that store.

15 tones is better for playing 👌😘

Yea

Not having the low 3 does make it harder to play some of the songs, but still you can make modifications and play using the 14note fairly well. Plus, I personally like the more 'earthy' tones that the 14note drum produces... It almost sounds like a GUDA drum :)

The difference between 14 tones and 15 tones is in the material. Personally, I think the 14-tone high notes sound more pronounced than the 15-tone high notes. However, the sound of a 14-tone drum sounds heavier with a metallic sound, as it is made of copper and has a hand-pan shape. Another difference is that the sound of each drum will suit different song melodies, that's how I feel. It will be difficult to control hit on drum at the perfect position when you are playing at a fast pace and more importantly I don't use audio editing software to make it nicer than it really is. You can listen carefully to the sound of the difference between the two drums and choose the one you like best. To me, both are fine

@@AoiKumo9thank you so much for the detailed answer!

First of all, this drum is not a handpan so you will have a little hard while playing it by hand. About the problem out of tune, you can try to adjust the drum tongue by raising or lowering the tongue of the drum. Thank you for watching and comment!

You can, need to practice. It's not about hitting it hard with your finger, it's about touching it, and then immediately let go so you can let the tongue vibrate... if you leave the finger on the tongue too long it will obviously not vibrate. Keep practicing! you can hear some examples of it being played with hands here in my playlist - ru-vid.com/group/PLl9Ja6mnPlbDi7BRpT68yGV7EaXmJU_yv

Hi, it’s not a hand pan drum, so that it’s just work when we use mallets for playing.

When you Play a Handpan or a drum very good you can Play a Tankdrum Like a Pro

@@AoiKumo9 True. But it was advertised to play using hands or mallots.

Mallets Just For beginners after a few days you make Sounds without the Sound of you Fingers its Just skill

@@AoiKumo9 absolutely Not its about quality a good Tankdrum Sounds amazing when you use Fingers ab Bad one Sounds terrible even when you use the best mallets 😎

Yes, the "pipa language" sounds good with the drums. I like both because they are made of two good materials and has good sound quality ^^

You can find the tabs of song that I played in this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SQIj6izEkRM.html (Please turn on subtitle to see the tabs) Thank you for watching 💕💕💕

The titanium will better than carbon steel. Please choose the steel tongue drum 15 tone, D major

Hi Aoi Kumo, as you already know I'm having dilemma choosing and finally I found your comparison video and comment. I think you have mistaken in the comment "The titanium will better than carbon steel. Please choose the steel tongue drum 15 tone, D major", because the 15 Tone is C and not D from what I read. And when you say choose Titanium I think titanium is 14 tone? Can you please make sure whether the one with hole in the middle is better or without hole in the middle, this might be easier to identify 😊

@@melissalow2416 i still confusing both of them, had u already bought one of them? Any comment ?

Hi, both of them are ok, color doesn’t affect to the sound

Aoi Kumo Thank you for your reply. I am still struggling the color 😅😅😅

Haha believe me, choosing the color you like 😉

I bought GOLD color. It is beautiful... bright, pretty, cheerful, easy to read and see where tongues are located.

I think that carbon steel is better

@@AoiKumo9 which one is carbon still ? The one with hole or without hole

In my review videos, you will see and hear the actual sounds of the instruments that I review. To respect the listener, I do not use any software to edit the audio in my review video. In my opinion the 15 tones drum is a good choice. Thank you for watching!
