Zen Percussion Freezbee Steel Tongue Drum: Unboxing & Initial Review (Guda Drum) 

Thank you, as always, for your time and effort producing quality videos for such a wide variety of instruments. They have always been very helpful to me in exploring different instruments and sounds. I should mention, only for the benefit of those just starting to be interested in metal tongue drums, that the Guda line, including the Freezbee drums, are mainly constructed from aluminum, not steel. While this material helps generate Guide's distinctive "woodsy" tone and light weight, the drums do not support the use of magnets. The magnetic microphone I use to amplify my RavVast drums does not work for Guda. I would also like to mention to those who prefer Guda's tonal qualities to investigate hardwood tongue drums. The sound is mesmerizing. Wooden tongue drums come in a nearly infinite range of scales and sizes. The only limitations to the drummer is the cost. An 8 or 9 tongue custom build will equals that Ravs, Art Quints or larger YW Pulsars.

WOW! That’s a high-end drum. You are getting quite the collection.

Guda s sound awesome and look Great i am very impressed

once again Kale it's actually another similar thing. I have owned my Guda drum made by Dmitri Gubarev for about 4 years. It looks so much like your drum but a different scale. I got the A equinox. I have come to LOVE akebono. Which I have in another two drums. I mentioned to Molly ( as she just did a similar unboxing of her Freebeez Drum) anway I working on a comparison video as well. So it should be a blast with the three of us sharing our various drums~~ enjoy yours. Use it in good health~~

NEAT STUFF -- sweet sound -- interesting - I'd say 'really cool' except that you're going through that nonsense and I've been there and done that too many times in years past. I will check in again this weekend. I will run by Steve's page(s) as well.

It's wonderful! It is my absolute favorite of the nicer tongue drums, just such a beautiful tone! And I love the copper color and pattern you chose. (I got styrofoam everywhere too 🤣) Akebono is a great scale. Enjoy!!

That drum looks awesome. I wanna get the GUDA double from Zen Percussion because it sounds like a handpan but has 2 scales, and looks cooler. So expensive though. Do you know if there's high import taxes on these? My Kosmosky tongue drum was fortunately only about $20 import which is also from Russia.

That’s a sweet looking instrument! Have you tried out a wood tongue drum box?

Great sounding drum. I bet even I could learn to play Shave and A Haircut on it but that would not be nice on such a fine instrument as that. Seems like money well spent Kale.
