Scale: C, Aeolian. - Notes: (C#)-G#-A-B-C#-D#-E-F#-G#.
Recorded at the 7th Ave. G/F station in Brooklyn, NY.
I met Sam on my way home from work transferring between the R and the L. As I was walking down the stairs I thought I was hearing electronic music, which you never hear in the subway. But it had a natural essence to it, almost like acoustic electronic music. It was strange and hard to pinpoint what I was hearing. As I got down to the L platform I saw Sam sitting and playing a strange instrument I had never seen before. He had a crowd around him and lots of donations flowing in. After he finished a song I approached him and he told me about his handpan and that he was from Australia and traveling the world as a busker. What a life! He said everywhere he went he was able to make money for the next leg of his trip. The day before he made $200 in an hour playing in Central Park. I asked if he wanted to record and he did but he was leaving in two days for Central America. I was so excited by this beautiful music that I cancelled plans and we met up the next night to record at my favorite spot.
Took a while to get some good takes and by the end his hands were bleeding because he had been playing so much recently. It was an amazing experience and I love the sound we were able capture down there. - เพลง
I ordered one of these as a Sobriety Gift to my self. I am now 4 years Sober from Heroin and Fentanyl and hard Alcohol. Everyday that I Remain Sober is another day of life
Great job! Keep your head up!
Yeah, well done! ❤️
Melissa Hooey Well done. ❤️
Melissa Hooey Well done. ❤️ Alcohol is the worst drug in the world. Its toxic and killed my mother unlike weed and mushroom which the body accepts thus no hangover . 🌿🍄🙏
this is an awesome gift and you deserve it :)
The sounds of the trains in the background add a whole dimension to his playing. Blending his environment with his art absolutely perfect.
Pretty much. Timing is everything
I thought the same - particularly pleasing at the end too
Yeah, man. Pass that joint.
@@robinwatson4282
what joint?
@@JensVanDeAarde the one Lucky Man's toking.
Even after 6 years, still the best handpan melody i’ve heard…
Love this so much 🙏🏼❤️
Would love to know what it is. D kurd, celtic or 🤷♂️
@@Richard_FitPku C# Annaziska
@@Richard_FitPku its written in the description. Its C# Aeolian
This is no words how amazing 🙌💚
I know. I just came back to it after years I still was thinking about it 🙏🏼💜
The fact that the place seems to be abandoned makes this even more ethereal. Just imagine walking through this abandoned subway and you start to hear this incredible hand pan in the distance.
Bruh the lights are on wdym
This is how I came across him
100% nyc subway
Not abandoned, or how could a train roll in? Definitely a new yorker knows even at 4am a subway can be quiet
the handpan is such a beautiful combination of melody harmony and rhythm in a way that no other instrument has
i think you've said little too much
I agree. I did a lot of djembe and keyboard when I was young. This handpan is great. Makes me want to buy one. I'm pretty sure I can do it. But this guy is super on point. Even has thumb rings for extra effects
You cannot compare this shit to a violin or a voice, which aren't harmonic, but truly express something. This thing, the handpan, gives you the illusion of depth.
@@talcdebebe7553 Then go listen to violin?
@@vegterble A quick wit... Triangle, gong, marimba or bells would be better too. If you're interested in organology, go learn something about idiophone, idiot !
Still one of the most inspiring musicians for me, captures perfectly the potential of this beautiful instrument.
I've only heard two people really know this incredible instrument, Sam is obvi one of them.
@@TheSalixKetuur also me. ive been practicing this one for 4 years and i can almost replicate his music
@@TheSalixKetuur there is not musical nots just be hear and feel.
@@iamf6641 it’s not about replication. play in your own style. play as your self and not as another lost in the shadows replica
@@EASFromTheWest we have almost the same beat and style amd I like it.
He dedicated all of his life giving us for free this gift. A true hero.
Listening to this since last four years and it still doesn't get old. Favourite handpan artist hands down!
Same here
Amo esse som ❤
What instruments do you play?
"uhhhh..... the UFO"
Handpan
Is it
no, but the cooking pan.
No, musical Turtles!😏
😂😂😂
And that's it now for me. I have always had a sound, a very particular sound, that I love. Whenever I hear it I'm happy. It's got this drony, tinny, metallic quality that is like a gong or a distant deep bell ring. Every so often I'd find a song that has an element of that sound but it was always buried in the song, never featured or at least very rarely featured. And now this instrument comes along and it IS the sound I've always loved. And I'm just sitting here thinking, "Holy crap! I finally found it!" Thank you so much for putting this out here!
Same. Same. Same......
Like a dream ... in a space ... inside-out of my head!
Exactly. 🙏
It's so very warm and inviting.
You could not have put that into better words 🙏
Sam Maher is the best handpan player I've ever heard and this is his masterpiece. Not only is his performance world class with speed and dexterity unrivaled, but his composition / improvisation skills are revealed in this complex and uplifting piece.
should hear him play drums!
check out kabecao or yatao
@@emilejanse2672 I listened to Yatao's music, they can't be compared to Sam Maher. Sam composition and skill with the handpan is unmatched.
@@ryuno2097 Lol, to each their own. Sam Maher is good, but he doesn't have a lot of variance in play, imho. Nevertheless he is a great player and writer. Arguing over youtube comments is generally pretty pointless, you are entitled to your opinion and disagreeing with mine. I do like to share other great artists on the handpan since it is still a lesser known instruments and the very good players are not as well known. I only want more people to know about good players.
Other great handpan artists include David Charrier, Kabecao, Sylvain Paisler, Malte Marten, Peter Levitov to name a few.
@@emilejanse2672 Laurent Sureau
You are the best Handpan player in the 🌎 .
I've been listening to this over a year now, and its still as extra ordinary to me. who else also feels this lad should have a bigger fan following? Incredible.
vishal vish DEFINITELY ❤️👍🏻
I honestly cannot believe he still hasn’t released a CD that’s available. I’ve only found 3 tracks on iTunes. ?
306 stolen from Yuki
@@astralaudio101 i easily found his youtube channel the other day by searching his name
Totally agree, I'm definitely a fan. My dream is to play this song at 3/4 Sam's speed on my own handpan, before I die. This song is sublime.
Without having ever seen this, if someone pointed to a crowd of people and told me to guess which guy played the hand pan I would guess this guy without question.
Слушам и слушам ..и пак. Не мога да спра да я пускам отново.Най добрата пиеса от този инструмент,която съм слушал.Одухотворено и одухотворяващо.
My best friend and I were living together when this video was posted. We thought it was one of the coolest things we’d ever seen and had it playing in the background whenever we worked on something or just relaxed on the balcony. He passed last year and this definitely brings back good memories.
I’m sorry for you loss
I'm sorry for your loss :( it's great if this music brings back good moments with him 🖤✨
I live in Japan. What the amazing! I had liked only rock musics since listen and watch this video. But thanks to his performance, I understood that the world of music is very wide. He is amazing musician!!
This is THE most impressing handpan play I’ve ever seen! Sam Maher is THE god of Hang!
Well it's not a hang😅
@@sandrakilchenmann.handpan Yes it is brah. It's not a "Hangdrum" as it's often mistakenky called.. But the proper name is a "hang" or a "handpan." You're welcome.
I thought Chester Bennington was the god of hang
he's just touching it lmao
@@Sammy-zj6oj Way to dismiss his talent, wow.
The dudes on Brazil’s subways are what inspired me to get into these and let go of the destructive habits which humanity employs to depredate each other.
Prior military and physical security since 08. This world is disturbing and sometimes one just wants to let go. Hugs y’all and sweetest of dreams.
I watched this video so many times. I’ve also watch many other people play sams cover for this song but none of them have the fluid movements like how he plays. It’s so liquid. Everyone else seems so mechanical and. Sams on a different level
*Thinks about buying a handpan after watching this video,* *Goes online to see where to get them,* *sees price,* *kills self*
It's also really hard to learn
You can get a decent handpan for €1000-1800 Euro's, no need to pay over $2000.
+Zak Higarashi I looked into it, and I bunch of people were saying that it was simple and was mostly based on being able to create music while you play. (Free style) so you just need a good ear it sounds like. As a percussionist, I feel that if I put the time into it, I could learn this instrument in no time. Also, I like the profile, Deadman Wonderland was freaking awesome.
Well, there goes that idea for my 7 year old! After hearing the horrific banging sounds coming from him on his Dad's old drums in the basement last night, I saw this and got all excited! This I could probably handle hearing during the learning process! Oh well, stronger ear plugs it is!
Cerulean So true!!
I believe he's as beautiful as his music. He responded to an email, I was inquiring abt this instrument. He was so genuinely kind. I jus could tell..
You want information to buy one for yourself? :)
If you have questions feel free I can help :)
If you want you can even learn from sam he has done a masterclass at "Masterthehandpan" look for the site it's really a good way to learn handpan :)
Same!!!
I am practicing this piece and somebody requested that I make a sample. I reached out to him and he replied and was very kind, I much appreciate Sam!!!!!!!!!!!
@@landsfeu6782 What brand of handpan is he using here?
@@wrolfes4370 It's a C aeolian, quite ricy as a starter but a solid one :)
But who is the maker?
And here I am again. Coming back at this video every couple of years. Still amazing.
This is what it means to be Human! Incredible!!!
How TF am I just finding this in 2019?!? Dudes great.
Reign Kastle same !!! I’m grooving out to this !
yeah why have I never heard of this instrument until now, it's a whole drumbset in one!
Reign Kastle same today for me
I never even knew this instrument existed until just a few weeks ago! Thanks to Eesi Laul
I found it after seeing a vid about animals reactive to music -- this dude was playing a handpan for marsupials and I needed to know what it was, found it in the comments. Many wonderful sleepless hours later, this amazing man!!
franchement merci Nozman jamais j'aurai pu penser qu'un ovni pouvais faire ces bruits relaxants grr j'adore
Genre lol 😂
Y a pas que moi a ce que je vois
On est là 🤣
Je vous rejoins :)
Un ovni lol
Could recognize my childhood station on a moments glance 🫡
Красавчик! ❤️
hold on, is everything I'm hearing from that one drum? there are so many sounds happening! kinda interesting.
I wondered that too. Seems to be all from the same instrument though. Just superbly played I guess
It all depends on how much surface area your using to hit it, how hard you’re hitting it, where you’re hitting it, how you hit it, and other things like tapping, movement there’s a lot of things to account when playing this.
you should listen to a hurdy gurdy too, lot of different sounds there too
Idea derived from the steel drum, which has many sounds as well
Beautiful! Can listen to it all day
It amazes me that you find virtuoso talent like this in the streets. I'd take this over mainstream recording artists all day.
@Tucker Latham , well said.
@Tucker Latham , good luck to you. That's the instrument with the most pleasing tone I've heard in ages. If you choose to record, I'll be looking for your music too. Many Blessings
even miley cyrus!!????
@@elixtido1448, 🤣😂🤣😂 I forgot about her!!! Maybe I spoke too soon?!
His name is sam maher
Pure beauty, I can't say more...
Так мало надо человеку чтоб быть счастливым когда у него чистая душа,
In my opinion this instrument has the most entrancing sound. It reaches into a peaceful part of my life and helps me relax. It’s not only ethereal but it’s also, bringing the listener into a presence of their own.
This is perhaps the best piece of handpan music online. I just love it
Totally agree
This is the most beautiful music I've ever heard
Aye!
Yes, he and Daniel Waples are my favs handpan players. Love them
Amy Naylor me to its so beautiful. I absolutely love all this kind of stuff!
I love how when the subway comes in it actually sounds like apart of the rythyme. Well done! The acoustics were fantastic where your shot this video!
Feels like the whole orchestra involved ❤
Wow, your flow is amazing.. Thanks for sharing your talent with us my friend. 🙏😊

The train screeching at the end was perfect
Seriously! Like climactic strings.
So perfect ...so NYC.
David Saintloth p
i got the impression that was entirely deliberate....he's near enough to identify the noise, but far enough it's nearly melodic...
Yeah, that was a nice touch.
Он же его обнимает и ласкает!!
These comments reflect that music unifies us. May it continue to do it's magic in this complex world.
listening to this make me feel like i'm fading away into an another dimension... or some crap like that idk
No more meth mohamed
@@reignkastle9877 never had any 😃😃
"Or some crap like that" is funny to me
😂
the absolute madman at 3:05 the music switches from a low beat with an accompanying high melody to a high beat with a low melody god i love this music
good ear...that shits crazy!
This guy seems to use the ying yang or some sort of sacred Geometry to his music
Eloy Vargas He uses Benny Greb’s The Language of Drumming Rhythmic Alphabet - same thing 😁
People like him deserve more attention than famous musicians... what a genius performance
It's possible to respect someone's playing without bringing down others.
@@deadaimusic1889 Shut up Kid! You have no idea!!!
I agree. But Taylor Swift gets more attention. Absolutely ridiculous and sad.
@@TheTubeMeister Millions of people would disagree with you, so, who's right? Sam is bringing joy to you and me, Taylor is bringing joy to others. Don't get caught in your ego...
@@TheTubeMeisterI agree
Крутая штука, только что услышал как у нас играю на этом в парке. Привет с Урала.
OH MY. this is wonderful! I love music like this it is so enjoyable. Music make the world better for everyone so thank you so much for sharing your gift!

Díganme por favor.
Gracias.

You've got it! This type of music carries very high vibration and is the most preferred by the ET group from Essassani!!!
Lol
lmaoo
Don't quit your day job...
Best comment ever and then a guy saying that et loves this Hahahaha life is amazing !
Одна из любимых композиций🎉🎉
Это уже космос )
I've just finished this video for probably the 4th dozen time in recent months. This is without doubt the single greatest hand piece I've ever heard. I can't even begin to describe the way this song makes me feel. TRULY remarkable. Thank you for the smiles!
Love how he used the sound of the train for the end . All coordinated and so well done
yes.. it was awsome..
Very lovely !!❤ greetz from german ! Make my sole happy, thx !!!!!!😊
何回でもgoodを押したい。
それくらい感動した。
everyone talking abt the obviously amazing music but the fit do be clean
i DO appreciate the drip.
I'm in tears. For real. That was truly beautiful.
Tears of beauty....oh I love those! Feel them and let it gooooo!
I can't help but cry with you
Did you literally cry? Come on now.
+Sytijinx Too easy to make you cry with a beautiful melody. I'm afraid you'll cry again.
Same
I remember youtube suggested me this video in 2017, I was still in high school, and I remember listening this recording everytime I was traveling to school, right now Im just 1 year away from getting married, god, time goes fast
Niceeee lol
Gj happy times!
Listening to this sound that comes from the soul of this special boy and this magical instrument,I feel so much nostalgia. A nostalgia that, however, makes me think of so many good memories buried in my heart with a big smile. Thank you Sam for leaving a piece of you in our souls and thank you Music for the emotions you trigger inside us every time you accompany us in our lives. You who are reading this comment, I wish you much love and hope you will be yourself every day and love life as I do!
Merci Nozman
What's that?
@@animefreak2438 A French youtuber who presented the handpan and how it work.

This is one of my favorite instruments. I could listen to and watch someone play it for hours. 🥰
True inspiration and beauty
most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life, thank you for making my day
I concur! 😁🤩💜
Perfect timing...that train coming in.
👍
Pretty nice noises!
I first commented on this video five years ago. Here i am up at 2:30 am and i noticed that he uploaded new music on his channel after many years. I'm glad to see that he is still playing. I loved this video and fell in love with the sound of this instrument years ago. 2017-2019? Was probably around the time i found this video and now it's jan 1, 2023. I was such a different person back then when i first heard this. It still resonates in my soul today. He is still a very talented hand pan player! ❤
years later, no handpan player has been able to impress me like Sam.
I was hypnotized. I've never heard anything like this before. Love it. 😍❤️
Damn, i felt this...
Un instrument qui permet, de transmettre, ce que l'utilisateur joue, transmettre l'onde (s) les intentions de son coeur, qui ainsi vibrent dans cette instrument ! Instrument vibratoire, comme peut l'être un chat, un chien, un animal, que vous prenez dans vos bras avec de belles intentions...PS: Désolé pour la comparaison, car ça pourait heurter certaines personnes. Oui, un animal est un être vivant, qu'il est bon d'avoir auprès de soit et d'en prendre soin...Un animal, WOUHA, lui qui nous apporte sans attendre en retour, lui qui nous dit les choses de façon sincère, sans détour, lui qui mérite notre respect et notre amour...Respect et amour aussi pour notre prochain...
You know this guy came into my scope just at the right time. With all the ugly stuff going on in the world and particularly the U.S. I have fallen into despair. This music represents human redemption to me. This is truly the best thing that has happened all year. Thanks for sharing and thank you Sam Maher for being a wonderful spirit. If we could all just take a few minutes to listen to this I think the world would be a better place.
Beautiful words, Matilda.
So true dear Matilda! ❤
Indeed girl. Beautiful words ♡
"Music represents human redemption"!...❤️🎼🎧
Agreed!!!!
So Beautiful! I can't stop replaying this!!!!!
чувствуйте музыку ТАК как этот человек!!!!!
Ein Lied der,,Entschleunigung des Lebens,,!😊
👍💪👍💪👍💪
i could listen to the first 25 seconds over and over again
Beautiful playing. I love how he does a melodic phrase as he maintains a backing rhythm. Great use of dynamics, too!
Very well said
Still coming back for this 👏🏽👏🏽
Clean not diluted as a person💜💙💜⚘💐⚘
Such beautiful pure sound.🙏💝addicted. The 627 people who gave it thumbs down had their hearts closed off!
That timing with the last note being played with the release of the hydraulics was on point!
Wowwww…the way the song ended as the train stopped. Epic.
Вот это на самом деле-круто!!
playing on another level here completely, awesome stuff, the bar is raised tenfold
I've listened to several others play the handpan, and this is still the best I've ever heard. I keep coming back.
Still magic 💫even after the 20,846 time I viewed it 💞😍
É absurdamente, ou melhor, é inexplicavelmente lindo! Se algum dia eu ouvir alguém tocando um Hang/Handpan tão lindamente quanto o Sam, eu volto aqui pra falar.
So I have found a new beat. Watching him play and listening to the sound, rhythm and harmonies it is obvious he is not playing an instrument, he is the instrument. Music is oozing from this mans soul. A true master of his craft. Close your eyes and let it consume you......
beautiful
had my eyes closed the whole time! even though in that moment time was no longer with me!
I've heard this instrument once in real life, while cycling past someone playing it. Even for those brief seconds, it still made that enchanting noise. I will have to learn how to play it one day
This day is now, go get it.
After all of these years, it doesn't get old.
A very good pièce of Handpan thank a lot from Paris.
I think the best description for a handpan's sound would be ocean like.
If that's what the ocean truly sounded like, I'd drown being drawn to it like a siren.
I'd just come in from a fairly hard day and saw a Buskrs update. Didn't think too much of it, just put it on and went to go have a shower.
I'm now standing here, in my pants.
This man is making me stand in front of an open window in my pants.
He is that damn good.
hahahah wuhuuuuuuu :-D
That was incredible!
Фантастика
Close your eyes, and travel where your imagination brings you
The train was serendipity man, as for the rest, I'm Handpan converted because of this, absolutely entrancing ❤
Music WILL take YOU there! Simply AMAZING!
Jeden Tag einmal hören und der Tag ist mein Freund. ❤😊
