I don't know how many of you guys have seen this drum, but I think edm fans will really appreciate the sound of this one. Apparently these were invented recently after studying various percussion instruments, and it has a really unique melodic sound. And they are very hard to get, you have to go on a waiting list for them to be hand built. Check out these videos:

holy shit! that's fucking amazing!

first one sounds so minimalicious WOW

Very cool!

WOW, that's beautiful!!!!... ALMOST makes me want to switch from learning how to play BONGOS.... but not quite

The first time I've seen this instrument played was by a really cute street performer hippie chick in Buenos Aires. I saw dude play one at Harbourfront this summer. Looks like they're picking up in popularity as a new tax-free source of income.

Though bongo's - or more specifically African drums - don't have the range of sounds as this hang drum, they do make equally beautiful music. The problem is most people don't have a fucking clue how to play them the way they can be played.



Nonetheless, that hang drum definitely has a captivating sound.
