Street musician with unbelievable instrument! (Daniel Waples) 

His smile tells me he loves what he is doing. Beautiful

The tiny aliens in there are like...WTF whose banging on our ship!!!

I didn't know you could play a UFO.

This was the first video that introduced me to Hang drums, almost 12 years ago. What a wonderful instrument.

2019, hearing it for 9 years, ever gets old

I came searching for this... Nine years later... So nice

I first saw this when I was really young and tried searching it again. Finally found it!!!!

I want a to hear the full studio version of this.

This is worthy to go on my favorites. The guy is AMAZING! And he does it with such a dazzling smile too!

such a nice spirit…full of love and joy! Namaste brother

Was so fortunate to enjoy his music at a private house party in Atlanta several months ago. I was amazed at the sound & musical atmosphere created. At the time I had no idea Daniel was so popular with his special music & instrument!

This is amazing. I love the sound of that instrument and the way he's playing it.

I can't imagine the joint aches after playing that!

this relaxes yur soul😌

This guy is brilliant. It's nice to watch him perform, he exudes happiness.

I have listened to this video many times for many reasons and it is always wonderful, always lifts my spirits. I thank the Gods that this man shared his talents with us all. You bring light to the darkness. Thank you!

I find this so heavenly sounding!

No, this guy caught a rare Musical Spaceship. Its been known to be the Almighty Musical UFO. LOL

HE is so happy playing it tooo.. love the energy he has! #and gr8music too

Daniel Waples, the man that I saw at TedEx years ago in Cyprus and fell in love with handpan instrument and his music! I will never forget the feeling of his music in the whole room. Thank you so much

This instrument is called a "hang drum" and is extremely rare to find....

He looks like a Legend of Zelda Character

I saw someone playing one of these on the weekend. It creates some mesmerizing sounds.

I remember seeing this guy in London a few years ago and I bought his CD. Damn, need to find that thing and have another listen.

He's hitting a ufo!

Thats really E.T. inside that spaceship playing that music. Then he flips it over and E.T is like WTF???? then flips it back over and he plays music again. LOL

I just love how he play it putting all his feelings in it..jus wonderfull ..

Ya know I am happy to, to play on the street... you meet so many people from all over...... it s up there with playin to a lot of people on stage... you go man

So thats how Video Game music is Made.

Виртуозно играет)

BRAVO! Happy music! and so pure!

just love all his performance s with the hangdrum

Does anyone know if there is the full song that he is playing in the video in somewhere on the internet?

these are called 'HANG DRUMS' as u may know.They just started making them in sweeden barely 10 yrs ago.They can run from 3000-7000 dollars each but WELL worth it if your craft is percussion.You can book solo gigs at small bar/grill's,etc..venues that are small & dont want the kinda volume a full band would bring,Still theyre just a havent been enough made to find a really good deal on say a used one-i got lucky & through guitar center found a guy who was moving back to europe & didnt want to have to haul it back.STILL you can find 'hangdrum' settings on Korg's 'wavedrum',roland v-drums,yamaha spd's,the 'octopad'-or the best elec pad on the market for 1000 buck's 'the mandala' pad designed by Danny Carey of Tool-you tube it,if i had it to do over i'd probably buy one of these instead of hangdrum,tablas,cajon drum,etc.

Fantastic. Thanks for posting it.

some amazing background music to go along with the fight too, it's like his strikes are timmed perfectly!

the song is called 'Lago' by Daniel Waples playing the Hang Drum

I be the keeps his weed in there :)

I would like to point out that this is as versatile as several drum sets played at once, or even a guitar, or maybe a piano, yet as simple as a single drum. A truly genius instrument.

I am just amazed by what wonderful talents you come across every day! Thanks to youtube, I get to see unique talents around the world!

Argh this is so AWESOME!!! Also, he is cute ;)

gonna get out the crock pot and make some great music.

wow what a beautiful smile..thats not even what the video is about but he looks so happy. what an amazing world

Woah! Finally Found a music that helps me study without distracting me! Never thought this can help!

He stole that thing at Shitty Wok, South Park

Isn't this just a steel drum?

that was cool...need more of it.

It sounds beautiful

at 0:26 is that a giant cheeseburger next to him???? LOL

Video was too short

...and I swear that thing he's got on his lap zoomed over my house a few years back 😳

just amazing

hang drums cost more than most of y'all make in a month

*He stole that thing from Area 51...* *Oh sorry, I meant Area 51-A :)*

Love da instrument... so original, and I have to say that I love his hair, eyes n such a nice smile... need to go to London!!!!

This is really a beautiful sound.

1. Take big wok 2. tablespoon of canola oil 3. heat to 180 degrees 4. throw in half cup of popping corn 5. Same outcome

This is not unbelievable at all I totally believe it But in all seriousness it's just an upside-down steel drum it's cool but not all that special

Wow that is so cool, I have never seen an instrument like that before. Thanks for sharing!

If I ever bumped into this guy, I pay him at least 5 bucks. It's one thing to play an instrument on the street, but it is something extraordinary to see it being done on an interesting instrument.

What the bloody hell is this man doing with a dustbin lid, get your hair cut. Bring back national service.

Beautiful and stunning.

it sounds so good

such a soulful music 🎶

I love this dude, he is pure always smiling,

The hang drum sounds so magical! He must be doing good at busking as those things are PRICEY!!

it kind of reminds me the "medieval" music on movies and etc. sounds so nice!!

Daniel Waples - You are AWESOME!! You set a positive example by the fact that I almost always see a smile on your face which always makes me feel better when I see it. I really respect you. I always love to see you and hear you! Thank you so much for what you have given to me, and I'm sure, many others! My life is significantly enriched for hyaving your wonderful spirit and music in my life. I'm 62 years young, but I hold you in high esteem. What a privilege!!! :-D

Love it !!

wonderful music!

For any Daniel Waples enthusiasts, the melody he's playing at 0:10 is actually a faster version of the melody he plays at 3:07 in his track called "Yankade".

So beautiful! Good job man!

Acoustic instrument, Hang Drum, made in Switzerland and of very limited (ie by invitation only) supply. 2nd hand price ranges from about $4k (if you're lucky) up. You really have to hear one live to believe it.

La cara de felicidad ese hombre es indescriptible, se nota claramente que ama lo que hace

That car horn solo blew my socks off!!

Another guy with similar looks plays the similar instrument in Gothenberg on every weekend.. Relaxing music indeed. Hang drum is the name of the instrument

I love his dimples as well as his music :)

wooow!! another real artist at the street

what a nice dreamy sound

Love this instrument

Daniel is amazing but his smile is more amazing too. He looks so happy.

I love this instrument.

That instrument is so magical dood

SUPER SUPER -absolutly amazing!!! fantastic!! youre the best! wish good luck for ya

I love videos like this its epic and amazing

It's like a Steel drum turned upside down...very nice for ambient sounds. Great idea.

I'm partial to his Celtic stylings. Daniel Waples is a tremendous exponent of the hang. Lots on RU-vid.

luv it man

right on man

I need to make like five of these and play them with my buds, these are dope

wow sounds great

Pure magic ❤️

I want one of these!
