Hey man you should definitely play it in your lap not on a tabletop. The vibrations from the drum travel through your body causing immense relaxing/soothing/meditative feels
Have you noticed the 3 feet of the drum? Though I know what you are talking about and I agree, this drum is in deed built with feet to play it on a hard surface, eg. wooden box or table to dramatically increase volume, overtones and resonance. Older models had no feet, just to note it.
I like your musical instrument videos because they show genuinely how someone with no natural musical talent can approach an instrument and get a sound out of it.
We like watching you do the instruments because most people are beginners or looking to add something to their musical creation or performance arsenal without breaking the bank and you also go into it blindly with tech and specs rather then musician jargon and its simple to follow and everything you do just makes sense and makes us laugh with you and your friends banter. I love your channel and I'm prolly not the only one. 🤘
I came for the musical instrument video. Specifically for the steel drum video. The reason I liked this one is specifically BECAUSE you have no experience with this drum. As a person that isn’t a talented or experienced with steel drums, I will begin with similar knowledge. I think it’s very important for my children to have a rounded balance. I keep musical instruments, academia, learning and entertainment games, craft tools and supplies of all sorts, cooking and science tools around at all times open to the use of my self and kids. I think it’s really important for my kids to see me starting from no knowledge to the path that I gain knowledge in well rounded areas for them to witness by example for their own drive and growth in their lives. I have 5 amazing and rounded children from ages 22-12yrs old that benefit greatly from getting to witness the world from various points of view. I like the unbiased view you give of the instrument. Because you’re not in the industry of playing this instrument it helps me get to make the decision of whether to buy it or not, for myself. We don’t plan on becoming concert or professional steel drum artists, in our family. But, the thing is, you really never know what your kids will be naturally talented at or interested in if they can’t put their hands on it. Watching your video is fun, to the point and light hearted. Showing my kids your video makes it fun for them to imagine how they could enjoy the drum also, and possibly learn skills on how to create beautiful sound with it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. At any level, knowledge is valuable. I’m grateful you valued yourself enough to share what you do know about it. 😊👍~Sheeara, Alaska
First off, love your accent. :) You are hilarious. I love that people are asking you to try something you know nothing about and you do so openly and with fun. Great channel. :)
I know I'm late but I love watching your musical unboxing videos because I am a musician and love to collect interesting cheap-ish instruments, and it's actually really informative to see how a beginner would sound on the instrument. Also no one else does what you do, so you're really taking charge of the market of reviewing cheap instruments. Thank you seriously your videos are funny and informative Although as a musician, sometimes I wish I could scream at you through the screen for doing it wrong
hi I am also interested in collecting different cheap instruments I want to be multi instrumentalist can you suggest me some cheap instrument it will be very appreciated
I now have a 6 inch tongue drum. A beautiful instrument with an excellent sound. Just have to find out how to play certain notes to play the songs from the booklet.
If only someone would autotune his "don't know that song, don't know that song, don't know that song" to sound like the Pirates of the Caribbean main theme.
Hahaha you're so entertaining (in a very good way), that's why they want you to try and play instruments. I don't know how to play any instruments, but I love the sound of Tongue/Tank Drum its very calming. So I searched how to play it and came across your great video. Thank you🙏
I like the musical instrument videos because as a musician I like discovering and seeing exotic instruments for me to think about potentially purchasing, and also because these videos are very amusing
Can you play a xylophone? Song recommendation: heart and soul. Only because it's quite easy to play, think of the notes the same way on a piano with the colour red(if your xylophone is coloured) as the notes C and so on. Xylophones are also very fun to play and they have a nice sound to them
Most of us have little or no musical talent but would love to play a instrument. If you can do something then maybe we can too. Love the instrument videos
The secret is, it doesn't take any special talent to play an instrument. Anyone who wants to can. It takes time to get through the initial awkwardness, but you can get lots of enjoyment from playing simple things while you learn, and that motivates you to do more. Go take a lesson or something! You can play!
Awesome instrument. Do you know where to buy it? I think the fact that you don't know how to play musical instruments makes your channel even better bcs it surprises you on the beautiful sounds you can pull with no experience. Great work mate!
Hi, I just ordered my tongue drum and it’s basically just like yours with the numbers and everything. However I was wondering where did you get the book. And what’s it called?
Are there any drums cooler than a tongue drum?
Yeah a foot drum
Just look up pig drum. You won't be disappointed.
LOOTd Carribbean finger drums, look them up
LOOTd
Handpan!
Hang drum.

Elex Bornett woah
Elex Bornett wow, that’s good to know

What you describe is, what I love about playing the double bass. I love the vibes, too.
Sweeeeeeet! Thank you for sharing. 😎✌🎶🎵🎶🎸
I like your musical instrument videos because they show genuinely how someone with no natural musical talent can approach an instrument and get a sound out of it.
What you play is an inner Mongolia folk song called 鸿雁(which means a kind of goose in China.)

Thats why people like it Charles, it's fun to watch you fumble with the instruments
That's good to know :)
We like to see you try music instrument because it's like seeing ourselves (A Noobie) ... So if you can play them, we can also play :-P
That's what we were hoping! :)
I an very musical and love seeing these weird instruments for new things to learn
"With me behind the wheel you're never gonna get a satisfying ending." Cheeky; love it!
Thank you. I was going to buy this for my niece's bday.... till I seen you @ 2:24 😆
I know that song and that was the best interpretation I've ever heard!

Beautiful :)
Just saw the hand-made version of the street performer and it's also great, and the drum sticks, all in all it's an amazing instrument
I just got one for Christmas, I dont know a thing but the sound it puts out "WOW" beautiful.
First off, love your accent. :) You are hilarious. I love that people are asking you to try something you know nothing about and you do so openly and with fun. Great channel. :)
Thanks a lot :)
This song is called （Hongyan 鸿雁） From Mongolian

Thanks buddy, that's great to hear!Don't worry, I've learnt to embrace the screams
hi I am also interested in collecting different cheap instruments I want to be multi instrumentalist can you suggest me some cheap instrument it will be very appreciated
Love your energy! Really cheered me up. Thanks for sharing.
I'm researching the OcarinaWind 12 inches Steel Tongue Drum. That's why I'm here. That guy presenting this instrument is FUNNY!
Me, sitting on the toilet at 3 am genuinely interested in this drum.
Get one! You won't be disappointed. I bought a smaller one than this and it still sounds beautiful and so soothing to play.
EMERALDO SPLASHIO
I now have a 6 inch tongue drum. A beautiful instrument with an excellent sound. Just have to find out how to play certain notes to play the songs from the booklet.
this is my first time watchign your videos, I really like you! great energy man
liked the look and sound ordered one, so happy I got to see, and hear what I bought
Wholesome review of the day! loved it. Your playing also gave me migraine but that's besides the point.
You've got pretty good hand speed. You should learn the drums, you might be a natural.
I have always wanted to play the drums, looks therapeutic in a way
If only someone would autotune his "don't know that song, don't know that song, don't know that song" to sound like the Pirates of the Caribbean main theme.
Dennis Barrett oh my god😂
Please someone do it 😂
I read this comment before I saw that part of the video. When that part came, he said it and I heard it. Cracked up!!
Did anyone do this yet?
I just ordered one! I can’t wait 🤗
I’m a Chinese, I recognised this song. Well done haha 😂
Thank you so much for posting this - I was considering this instrument, and your video sold me on it. Gonna order right now!
I discovered that the stickers have a clear square layer that is meant to peel off so that you will only have the beautiful chrome number stickers.
I am here because i want to buy one and needed to see one working thank you
With the name Tongue Drum, I'm a bit sad you don't play it with you're tongue :/
I could try but I don't think it'll work as well
...kinky
MegapiemanPHD it’s called the tongue drum because the things you hit are the tongues of the drum
MegapiemanPHD same
Your😁
You guys are so underrated more people need to know!!
Thanks a lot buddy!
LOOTd 😊😊
If I had a coffee table, this drum would go right in the middle of it.
Love lootd came here for the musical instruments but just love seeing the random stuff u reveiw good laughs and some nifty stuff
That's awesome to hear :)
You are a true musical artist!
When he thumped it on the table my soul died
Hahaha you're so entertaining (in a very good way), that's why they want you to try and play instruments.
I don't know how to play any instruments, but I love the sound of Tongue/Tank Drum its very calming. So I searched how to play it and came across your great video. Thank you🙏
You played it well
Came for the instruments videos.... stayed for it all!!! Awesome channel!
Thanks a lot buddy! That's awesome to hear :)
I’m your new subscriber from Singapore because I like the vibes you put out and how you talk about different models of one type of instrument.
I don't know that song, but it seems quite nice & tranquil. Nice vid, it inspired me to like & subscribe. Please keep up the good work.
The first 5 seconds were great lol 😂
1:17 uses his hands. 1:59 uses the sticks
I subscribed just because of the rediculous amount of you being here for the music videos.
Thank you! I just bought one. Can you help me find out how to play the missing notes, such as 4?
My foreign exchange student from China says yes he knows the song and you are playing not perfect but he knows what it is
I've got an 11 note tongue drum.... very good for relaxation...
It's "Take on me" by A-ha. Awesome
If your soulless husk can make it sound good it gives me hope.
I like the musical instrument videos because as a musician I like discovering and seeing exotic instruments for me to think about potentially purchasing, and also because these videos are very amusing
Lol this was me when i got the songs handbook and I didn't know how it should sound 😂
Love the channel
Hope you can follow up with a review of the different brands of tongue drums.
i think this is the best video i have seen in months.
I love it so much,
With me behind the wheel your never gonna get a satisfying ending......me too bro me too 😭
You need to test it's tuning with a digital tuner
Thanks for showing, looking to possibly buy..and love seeing someone blindly checking it out FIRST..😜😉
Sounds great
just did some research ，cant believe that this is a traditional Chinese instrument with thousands history ！
Can you play a xylophone? Song recommendation: heart and soul. Only because it's quite easy to play, think of the notes the same way on a piano with the colour red(if your xylophone is coloured) as the notes C and so on. Xylophones are also very fun to play and they have a nice sound to them
imagine if he said "there's two ways to play this instrument one is with your hands and other is with your *tongue"*
2:49 nobe nobe nobe nobe nobe nobe nobe nobe nobe
That is exactly why we watch
Cool must get one 🇬🇧👍👍

I mean, you're ridiculously entertaining. :)
China factory with Steel Tongue Drum here, welcome to Ariosemusic to choose your favorite color
Hang drums probably originated from steel pans in the Caribbean
Awesome instrument. Do you know where to buy it? I think the fact that you don't know how to play musical instruments makes your channel even better bcs it surprises you on the beautiful sounds you can pull with no experience. Great work mate!

Hi, I just ordered my tongue drum and it’s basically just like yours with the numbers and everything. However I was wondering where did you get the book. And what’s it called?
Probably came with it. Just hit the thing and use your ears
Is this an 8 inch drum or a 10 inch?
Actually this video helped me decide to buy one... so, thanks !! Great video and entertaining.
NOTHING Will beat the otamatone.
YaBoiJasper Anything beats my otamatone, it only worked for a week.
Yo can you do a 12 vs 6 inch? Tongue drum you perv! 😜 all the best!
I really want one for a long time
"with me behind the wheel, you'll never get a satisfying ending" That's what she said.
Is this the Mini, Junior, or Regular sized Drume hand drum, I'm looking into buying one?
Couldn’t figure out what song you played but it sounded beautiful 😭✨
other than those sticks, finger sticks also come with the tongue drum
You have the cutest personality ever. Instant sub ;)
what's the size of that drum?
Do you know where I can get easy to follow music for my new tank drum, like the little booklet that came with yours?
Is this 10" or 12"? Thanks x
