Handpan/Metal Pan Drum Comparison: RAV Vast vs. Tacta vs. GUDA
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.พ. 2018
- In this video we demonstrate 4 different metal pan drums: RAV Vast, Tacta Handpan, GUDA Neo, and GUDA Mini Overtone. Each one has a totally unique sound yet they all share some common qualities. Some of these drum sustain longer than others and some have a richer overtone profile. Weight, size and aesthetics are also major differences. Listen to hear the difference!

Every human needs one of these.

I wish i could afford one😩
Edit: converted to my currency ones around 600 dollars is like 10,000.
Like.. what?
Agreed 😏👍
I got mine from Ukrainian company before the pandemic before the evasion ❤

It feels special, it's really great, it's healing
Very helpful! Absolutely in love with hand drumming but didn't know what what I wanted to buy for my first portable drum. Thank you!
This popped up for me right on time. I have recently purchased a tongue drum, and hangpan but I still feel like there's a missing sound. When you played the RAV and Guida my heart jumped. Thank you for helping me make a decision!...🙏🏽❤️✨
Oh I love them all, so calming thank you
for me the most beautiful sound is that of the handpan
Thank you for this very thoughtful review and comparison.
I truly believe if I owned any of one these my stress, anxiety and tensions would be heal from my damaged spirit! If only I could afford to purchase one. I will direct my energies to finding a way to have one enter my life!
@@cubicfilms3200 Looks like industrial design of some sort. No instruments.
look into pshycedelics my friend 🙏
Thank you for sharing, I have been playing djembe drums for years. I've heard wooden tongue drums but never metal versions . I like the metallic resonance. I may look into something like that now. Thanks again!

I like the soubd of that one! It sounds so cheery
I'm a beatboxer who stumbled upon these instruments today by chance, and I've been researching them for hours already. Beautiful instruments. I'm looking around to find one that fits my style, unfortunately it seems the prices are really expensive overall.
Same
I never knew about this classification of instruments---they are incredible--I am going to get one from some maker for sure!
each of the drums sound like it represents an element
Then Everything Changed When The Fire Nation Attacked...
Is that (the attack) thé only think this (fire ) nation can do ?
@@yvanvergeres8901 they can heat up soup
@@imkuelllgremlin they also can burn down forests and also start wars
I was thinking that! What elements do you think fit each drum? ^_^
That big one sounds like such a good instrument!
Spectacularly beautiful!
I hope these become easier to make in the future and thus a bit cheaper. They're really cool.
working with these drums is so calming. so different from a kumbla and strumstick
I only know how to play Kalimbas, but these instruments have interested me so much! I wish they weren't so exspensive. The RAV and Handpan sound so beautiful! ❤️
I just looooovve the sound it makes! 💓💓
These four instruments, that you have kindly shown Us, has inspired me with a new concept that incorporates all of them.
I like the beautiful tones of the big one and the color and note holding of the second one, the hole for storing things in the third one and the art work on the fourth one.
I see all of these combined in a back pack affair (removable leather harness) that could go with one in their wanderings.
Thanks for the great presentation.
wayyy too heavy bro
Any updates?
updates??
I feel the Same about all that you said. I wish I could get the tone of the 1st with the long rings of the second.
Wholesome
Sounds good!!! thanks for the channel yeah
I really would love one the first is beautiful
I loove the blue one, second. Also i like to watch You. 🙌🏻
Thank You!~
You are a very good musician
That blue one kicks ass.
"Ghatam" is the ancient Indian musical instrument.

so clean
Würde ich gerne mal ausprobieren beruhigt bestimmt gut bei der durchgedrehten welt
Great comparison, thanks. I play percussion , and have just received my first steel tongue drum from Lithuania, which i will be doing an unboxing video tomorrow. Although my channel is videos of Nature and wildlife, i hope to use the drum as music for my videos sometimes. Im sure it will be a really fascinating new instrument to learn and grow with. It is hand crafted by an artisan in Lithuania, and should be a beautiful piece of art in itself. Very curious, and excited to see whats inside the box. I particularly like the steel tongue drums, as the sustain is amazing.
Thanks for your great tutorials and comparisons of some beautiful percussion instruments.
Congratulations ons your first pan!
I love these I heard a guy I follow let the hail play music it was really beautiful music. I have been really wanting one its very calming. ❤✌🤲💥
I love the sound of these instruments, but this guy is such a hippy, so much for a review!!!
Great~ good 💚👍
I cannot find the Guda mini overtone on their site. :/
Wow the second is absolutely amazing 💜💜💜 i have tank drum but thats notihing comparing this one 😏
What color finish are those gudas? They have three browns on their site...
I reallllly love how you wrote the keys out for us
Thanks a huge tons! The biggest help ever! I have a rav on the way! Supppperrr excited! Trying to figure if the GUDA is worth getting also as it’s incredibly beautiful looking for our performances but sound is what always matters the most! Trying to figure still...
the rav really seems like the best sound but it can’t always be easy to tell off a recording...
for sound quality, you think rav is on top for pros?
Much love brother
RAV and most high quality handpans are going to give you the best sound. guda drums are better for travel but the sound has less sustain and beauty.
For some reason I can’t find RAV Vast B integral. There is only A integral. Are these different scales or there is a mistake somewhere? If they are different - B integral one are not available anymore?
B integral was discontinued. We loved it but they no longer make it.
RAV has far better sound for sure and is not overratted and overvalued like Hang .Is definitely worth the price.
I still prefer the Hang, I do agree it might be overvalued.
Can you kindly tell me how I would search for it on amazon to buy? Where can we buy one? What is the price?
For some reason, I can’t seem to find the Guda Mini Overtone drum available for sale. From the looks of the Mini Overtone model demonstrated in this clip, it appears similar to the current Freezbee line, but with split tongues. Has this model been discontinued? What is the purpose of the split-tongue design, anyway? I’m new to the world of handpan drums, and am still trying to get my bearings. Thank you in advance for your insight and perspectives.
We are currently restocking on the guda overtone mini and should have them available in the next few months. The split tongue allows for more resonance on a smaller tongue
You can find Guda Mini overtone by Dmitrii Gubarev from Ukraine. He is the founder of Guda drum and Guda Freezbee. He worked some times together with Zen-Percussion, but they go different ways and now it gives problems with the name guda. Dmitrii now has to call his drums Gubarev Drums, although he is the founder of Guda. You can find him on youtube and he has a shop at Etsy. The sound of Guda freezbee is wonderful, but more percussive. The sound of the mini overtone (also available with 9 tones) is with much more resonance. Hope, I could help you.
@@martinametzler9225 Helped me! Thanks!
Hi, I'm a beginner and looking at buying a D major or B Celtic Minor Rav Vast, I'd also like to buy a complimentary Guda Mini Overton. Could you help out with suggestions of what sound scales would work best?
Gould J Guda can make any scale custom to what you want. So I would choose your RAV and contact Guda directly to match it. We have over 10 RAV scales in stock currently at didgeproject.com/store
Thank you for this video. I am on a steep curve here...why do some handpans are adveritsed with particualar notes....I need some basics here. Thank you, you are great!
Certain musical scales give off different vibes. Like an instrument in a major key will sound generally happy whereas one in a minor key will tend to sound a little more sad. It ultimately depends on how you want your drum to feel musically.
When you travel do you take instrument in carry on luggage?
I carry mines. You wouldn't want it to get bumped and then the sound get changed.
Adventurer Soul yes always carry it on in the overhead compartment. Havent had any problems.
That blue one sounds like its color
Does anyone know If pura hand pans are any good?
Wow!!!!
You mention several times in this video that you have a store which one can come in and try out/purchase different handpans. Where is this store, what is it's name, and does it have a website?
Gary Hoffman didgeproject.com in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (NYC)
Did I get that right? You take the big Handpan as Carry on? How do you do that?
Nilz4FR yes, it fits through the bag check for carry-ons
Regarding tuning, do they come with specified tuning or do they vary and I would have to figure out each notch for what note it is. Hopefully all notches match some note so they can be labeled.
Each pan comes with a specified tuning. Most pans do not label the notes on the metal itself, but some people add tape. Most experienced players know where the notes on a pan are after spending some time playing it.
WOW RAV wonderful! invented in RUSSIA. Wow Russian guys, good job 👍🏼👍🏼
Very intuitive but incredibly limiting... Amazingly beautiful though
Is this instrument available?
I want them all darnit
Is the rav in b minor or? Great video. Thank you.
Its a B Integral!
Hello! Can i ask who provided you with the gudas? I've found there are 3 websites selling them and claiming they are the original makers. I've bought one of off etsy from a guy called mike who i think owns the company now, but yours seems to be the ones from dimitri. I suppose my question is, do the 3 company gudas sound the same?
Hey friend, we no longer work with Guda. We now sell the Meinl Octave Steel Tongue Drums which are very similar to Guda Drums, only the Meinl instruments are available for a more affordable price and thus more accessible. They also come with a free case and mallets. Sorry I can't help you with your Guda woes, but you may want to consider the octave steel tongue drum. See link below. Cheers! www.didgeproject.com/product/octave-steel-tongue-drum-meinl-sonic-energy/
@@didgeproject thanks for your answer mate, i have already ordered the zen guda freezbee so for now i will try and practice that, but im already looking at the g pigmy rav, love that scale and the ringing! Those meinl seems very good though, in particular the double tongues for the same price of the single tongue gudas. Just to know, if i would order one from you in the future how much is the shipping from usa to italy?
My Second is on the way
Why are the hand pans soooo expensive. 😭 I need one in my life!!!
Great question. Handpans are not cheap because it takes many hours of hand hammering by an individual to get them into the proper shape in tuning. Our maker at Aura Handpans estimates that it’s about 30 hours of labor per pan. Add to that the materials cost, and the cost of all of the machines that are used to produce the instruments, and you can see why they need to charge such a significant price for this wonderful instrument.
gudas are so insteresting!
I know what the top 2 lines of notes mean, but what does the bottom line mean? for example at 3:49 on the bottom you have 1 b3 5 b6 b7 1 2 b3 5. what does that mean is it the harmonic series? *sorry i'm new to understanding music theory and notation please don't roast me*
The bottom line, i.e. 1 b3 5, etc., denotes the scale tones. So if the root note were C, the major scale would be C D E F G A B C and the scale tones would be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1. Once we get into non-major tonalities, such as minor, we start using symbols b and # to denote flat (b) and sharp (#) notes. So in the key of C the tones 1 b3 5 b6 b7 1 2 b3 5, would be C (the 1) Eb (the flat 3 instead of E). G. Ab (the flat 6 instead of A), Bb (the flat 7 instead of B), C, D, Eb (the flat 3 instead of E) and G. Does this make sense?
I think that hearing the bones sound smother the sound for the handpan itself depend on model. Good handpan does not spread these "dry sounds".
Hello from Germany! Do you have a hind where I can buy the Tacta Handpan?! Thanks a lot! 😊
Yes, you can buy Tacta handpans directly through us at didgeproject.com/store Thanks!
Tongue drum for me. Amazon here I come.
Are there any handpan makers that give back to Trinidad?
Si pudieran hacer subtitulos al español en sus videos que son muy buenos .. se le agradeseria mucho
Gracias por la sugerencia. Estamos investigando como hacerlo
the automatically generated subtitles are now configured in Korean !!!
Is it me or the Guda instrument seems to have the loudest "finger tap" sounds?
I felt the same.Someone who owns one clarify this please?
@@Sam-dh3tb I bought one and it's totally fine :) I still blv the original one would have softer sounds but it doesn't look as good :)
Can you please confirm size of smaller one
It’s about 12 inches in diameter
08:00 Can I store my euhm oregano in there?
Oehhhhhh so sweet, but I am so poor. Will save up for a guda drum or RAV drum.
HEEEY! You sai Rafael is from Brazil, the guy who made your pan! I’m from Brazil! What state is he?
São Paulo
Do you sell this instruments online?
Yes we do! Go to didgeproject.com/store
That GOUDA cheeze sounds like a Fender Rhodes... righteous! Lovin' the Bb mayjj-ja -- but sorry man that Tacta just doesn't do it for me, sounds a bit flat and bland for a handpan, especially the handpans you've played before and even compared to the RAV... are they mass produced with a machine assembly line? Not trying to knock it outright... just is a bit of a let down compared to the tongue drums which is usually never the case with handpans... whatever... could be the mics?
Where's your store?
it was in Brooklyn, now upstate NY
Hi, thanks for back to me. I'm in California. Do you mail order?
@@susettesoja1482 yes we ship pans by mail. check our our store: didgeproject.com/store
No subtitles?
What a pity!!!!
我也是拱扣弹劾
Do you have played gamelan? That's all sound similiars to gamelan sound. Especially, Bonang Gamelan.
Hi! Where a your store located? We a from NY.
Dnipro Design? So, this is of Ukrainian production? Great to know...
A good fender and a cranked tube amp bests this any day
Mega hippie
Space2007 uno reverse
ich mag am meisten die Tacta. Die Rav ist nicht so meins.
if you go busking with one of these is it called pan handleing? 😅😅😅😅
Lol
Hi my names billy walsh
dije lips ova here
Sounds like minecraft music
Can you put clothes in the Rav?
The wooden disks on the Rav Vast drums are thin and glued on but are easily popped off and then you could put clothes, snacks, some kittens, or what ever you like inside. ;-) To replace the disk you'd need to glue it back on but the sound difference isn't much different with the disk off so I haven't reattached mine. (I sometimes put microphones or lights into the hole) . A slight WARNING: the metal edge of the hole is unfinished and somewhat sharp so it's not intended to be left exposed! Putting your fingers or hands inside might cause them to get scraped or cut. I filed/sanded down the edge on mine but not quite enough so I use caution when picking up my Rav by the hole.
Omg fix your mics
Why is it so difficult for you to give homage to those who created that instrument????????????????????
