The modern steel pan instruments know as handpans are growing in popularity due to their beautiful harmonic resonance and wide range of applications as hand percussion instruments. In this video we compare a Hang (Invented in 2001 by PanArt, the originators of the handpan) and a RAV Drum (invented in 2013).
The Handpan or “hang” is a convex steel drum played with the hands and tuned with multiple notes. Each handpan is tuned to a particular scale such as major, natural minor, harmonic minor, hijaz, mixolydian, etc. Sonically the handpan is an overtone-emitting instrument that has the capacity to create many layers of sound and ethereal effects and works very well with drone instruments. Originally called the hang (pronounced “hah-ng”) the handpan was invented in 2001 by a little company in Switzerland. The instrument has fantastic resonance, overtones, and subtle variations in sounds beyond the tonal field base keys and can be played upside like an African Udu. Handpans are rare instruments with very few makers and even fewer makers that make quality instruments so it is a very expensive instrument and difficult to obtain one.
The Hang scale used in this demo is tuned to the D Hijaz scale

RAV Drum (aka RAV Vast) is a revolutionary new instrument that fuses the concepts behind handpans (hang drums) and tongue drums (traditionally made of wood). Perfectly cut steel tongues vibrate harmoniously together to create an ethereal sound perfect for meditation, relaxation, and other mystical music experiences. RAV was invented in 2013 in Russia. Conceptually the RAV uses cut keys as opposed to the hammer tuned Hang drum, which is not cut or welded in anyway. The RAV has a deep resonance and profound reverb effects where the sound lasts for a long time while the Hang drum sound goes for a much shorter duration. This allows for a lot more space between key strokes in the RAV because the sound carries so long without losing the rhythm, which can make for more experimental playing in some respects than the Hang or handpan. The fullness of the sound and the duration of each key stroke makes the instrument very meditative to play because it renders itself to slow playing but of course can also be played very quickly and rhythmically. The backside of the RAV is not as accessible or resonant as a handpan but can still be played rhythmically. The price of a RAV is 1/3 the cost of a Hang and is also generally easier to play than the Hang for most people. It is also a much more durable and sturdy instrument. The handpan can be knocked out of tune with too hard of a hit and over time may need to get tuned up regardless while the Rav does not and is almost impossible to knock out of tune.
The RAV Drum scale used in this demo is tuned to the G Minor Pentatonic scale

Nice presentation, and sort of unemotional and factual comparison, leaving the choice up to the individual, without making one seem "better" than the other...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I love these sounds, makes my soul at peace and helps my PTSD.
I love how they get their own pillows. They should get their own thrones! King of Percussion instruments. Thank you for sharing your love.

Thank you so much for sharing this video and the links to purchase! I have been dying to purchase a handpan for years. I am so fascinated and intrigued with this instrument. The sounds are so hypnotic and beautiful! Very soothing. 💓 I might have to start with the RAV drum first and work up to the handpan.
These are such beautiful instruments
Yo Jerry! I just found this video and your explanation and exploration of the distinguishing characteristics of these two instruments was exactly what I was looking for!! Blessings brother 🙏🏼
Love the way you approach the instruments. And you play beautifully. I’ve got a Bali steel pan and a tank drum (made from a propane tank with notes cut into it). Sounds like a combo of a bell and a pan drum. I imagine you’d love it. Thanks for the insights. Helped me appreciate my tank drum even more.
Everyone has their preferences. Personally, I like the sound of the RAV better. One thing not mentioned in the video is you sometimes have to be careful if playing a handpan in a sunny area. As the metal heats up it expands and can throw the instrument out of tune ( till it cools back down ). With a RAV you really don't have to worry about it ever going out of tune.. Just something to consider
what about rust formation or bending the tongues?
I think I prefer the RAV as well. To me it sounds very relaxing and just as beautiful! Also the fact that it doesn't need to be tuned was a bonus in my head, especially after watching how handpans have to be tuned.
Thanks for the insights and comparisons. You're a talented, generous person. So inspiring to see you in full self expression. You make it look effortless.
Thank you so much! I ordered a RAV drum because the handpans are so expensive. I'm a beginner, so I am relieved to see the difference and look forward to learning as you have!
Brilliant comparison.
this is the one type of instrument I feel the NEED to play or even own one and often think about. I play some instruments but none really give me the "vibes" like these do. what an interesting creation. Thanks for the video :)
Thank you so much for talking about the RAV. I also own the Pentatonic scale. I have rheumatoid arthritis. So I will order a set of their mallets. I’ve tried without but I don’t have enough strength in my hands.
Mallets are a great way to go. You may also want to check out the mallet harp as it is much easier to play with mallets: th-cam.com/video/dPpIKoJqsPk/w-d-xo.html
Sweet ! ! ! I had not heard of this instrument before today. I'm already HOOKED!! 8-) Thank you for sharing with us.
Totally fell in love with these instruments ♥️
Thank you!! Beautiful sounds and great explanation/comparison info!!💜🙏
Great vid. Thanks for sharing! Love that hijaz in Dm scale!
The hand pan sounds more nuanced, inharmonic, dissonant percussive and exotic, the totality of the effect is haunting, The tonged pan sounds more direct, harmonic, consonant, sustained and familiar, the totality of the effect is restful. The first is better for the spirit of exploration and adventure, the second is best for a spirit of comfort and safety. I would switch between both as needed depending on mood.
I'm afraid you might be confusing the key with the instrument's capabilities. The hang drum is in D minor which accounts for lots of what you said
@@kingofallworlds I'm listening to timbre, just one note will suffice. different instruments have different qualities of timbre regardless of mode or key.
I appreciate your review so much! Clarified lots for me! thankyou xo
Very useful! Now I know the difference of handpan and rav drum. Thank you.
Great video, your explanation was great and examples were beautiful ❤️
Amazing!! I play the oud and very impressed by the sound of the hangdrum!
Both sound so amazing!
The moment came quick where i didnt care about the difference but just wanted that dude to carry on with playing!
Me too.
You’re the first person I’ve seen with this type of instrument that didn’t give off an eerie creepy vibe. Cool!
Johannes Andersson alla som spelar ett sådant instrument är lite flummiga
Check out Alem Handpan
Thank you for the comparison very useful, insightful, and informative.
Totally interested on the RAV one wow
Thank you for the comparaison
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I am watching this at 1am
Why am I still awake
Rhazien my turn to be watching it at 1am 😅
It's funny because its exactly 1:01 AM right now
@Tabourba 👌
same wtf
Same for me now
Beautiful review, I was confused about my attraction and capacity with regards to this instrument, and I see a lot clearer in me now. I see myself going forward with my choice thanks to your video. Thanks for your analysis.
Happy you found it useful!
BEAUTIFUL instruments and BEAUTIFUL sounds. ☺
Good video man, good unbiased review
The price gives me aNgEr
Bruh jus ｍａｋｅ
Don’t look at quality violins. You’ll explode
Stradivarius violins make the hang drum look practically free.
@WorldFlex Funny you mention that. I myself am a percussionist, and that I'd rather play the marimba than a guitar.
Been intersested in the hang, but you have shown me the light of the RAV and its affordability😊👌
Thanks for explaining, Ive been debating for so long, almost hit "Purchase" button...but fell so lost on which I want..THIS HELPED, Thsnks 😘
Very well presented. For someone with no percussion background, you sure took to these drums like a fish to water!
Thank You a lot for clear explanation and sharing!
This is an awesome video - so interesting. Thank you
Perfect. I wanted to know these difference. Thanks
Awesome, I'd have to lean toward the Rav style of drum. I bought a 12inch 'tank' / steel drum off Bangood or Aliexpress for my Nephew for Christmas and I fell in love and ordered myself one. Just cheapies...well $200 Australian cheap but sounds magical. Best played with the included rubber ended hammers. Easy enough for a 2 year old....easy enough for my 40 yr old arse! 😀
Nice comparison. Good job.
I get the rav's idea but the handpan to me has such a more natural sound than the almost mechanical sound to the rav. Even the overtones still don't resonate naturally like the hand pan does. The handpan has a smoother sound to me all together.
That's what another $1200 adds. You can get 2 Rav's for the price of one Hang.
@@tomlange145 fair enough
@@tomlange145 And I rather have two racs in two different keys, so I can play a chromatic scale
I agree the hang sounds superior even if it doesn’t keep a note as long as the Rav
If you play a RAV less like a drum and more like you would play on a piano, hitting it with only the flesh of your fingertips and mainly on the end of the steel tongues the sound can be much more smooth and natural than demonstrated in this video where it is played more percussively.
It also really depends on the model and series, when i compare the older RAV models in the same scale with newer ones they do sound very different and have other sound properties (i think the metallic sound is'nt as noticeable in newer models).
I do like both though. In my opinion handpans have these deep hard hitting resonance on the root note to them and RAVs have this watery long slow buildup of resonance.
Muchas gracias por la aclaración de la diferencia, aunque ambos suenan maravillosos!!!
Very helpful & informative video. Thank you.
this is literally an asmr video and i love it
Thanks for this comparison.
Love the D minor scales. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Super informative and educational dude, thanks. 🤙
Thanks for tuning in and let us know if you have any questions
This was very informative!!!
I think I just fell in love with these instruments 😍
Check out the much older Trinidad and Tobago Steel Drum
Great review thanks!
Really cool presentation bro.
Glad you liked it
Good review 👍
Fascinating... Beautiful instruments
I discovered these amazing instruments the other day and I’m absolutely in love. I’ve always wanted to pick up and learn an instrument that sounded really mystical like these or like the dizi
thnx for the detailed info on rav drum.
Very Informative, especially the bit that RAV is easier to play!
great into to these two thanks brother
Awesome review, thank you!
Very interesting presentation. Educational and entertaining.
NOT that u NEED anymore thumbs up but I wish I could give u a THOUSAND MORE!!! U gave a WONDERFUL demonstration!!!
Thanks so much! We accept your thumbs up!
Thanks buddy, very useful!
do you want to know how i got this handpans ?
I am just learning of these instruments!
Beautiful thank you for sharing
Thank you . Super informative...🌺
Useful video👌🏼Thank you 👍🏻
I like your ..taping sound on those pan...
very cool... .brother
Very groovy. Magical talent.
Hi! Thank you for sharing.
Really really enjoyed. 😄
Just discovered this beautiful instrument I am in love 😍
Same!! I love the simplicity and the fact that you can make it without any superficial modern elements.
Why searching complexity when you can make something simple but beautiful with so many opportunities of sounds!~
i love the rav drum, my dad does a workshop at local festivals where he sells them and kinda teaches people how to play. he just sits out on his chair playing until while waiting for people to come over and investigate. the virus has canceled all the festivals so we have like 30 of them in the house. he makes them in two sizes, large and then a smaller one (for the kids, or if you just want a higher pitch).
Do you have some of ravs for sale? Normal one? In Dm?
You are very lucky... Here in Argentina those instruments does not exist in markets
@@Sauloesoterico Siempre se pueden pedir por internet, igual la pega en Argentina es que no se está muy interesado en ese tipo de mercado
Can you ship to Thailand?
@@thetruth4344 Please write me a comment on my TH-cam channel: Diversity Cristian, about shipping to Thailand !
I wanna see an awsome duo with both instruments

Wow so amazing
Thank you!
This is a good video? I wish I would have discovered it earlier? Great sound? Wow?
the Hang Drum looks like an Indian Dhal Shield...
for people not into weapons: It is a playable UFO
Beautiful. Thank you....Lovely.
I just want to listen to 6:47 over and over again

You re donne!
I love how they get their own pillows. They are quite expensive. I've been wanting to know the absolute differences between the two so, thank you. I don't want to invest in something that doesn't deliver the same expression. Appreciated.
PoppyB2011 good luck with your decision. Either way you won’t be disappointed!
RAV Drum sounds so AWESOME that I want to learn to play it.
I still prefer Hang pan to Hav drum. Even though there’s shorter resonance in hang pan, it makes us feel immersed within it. The lengthy resonance of Hav drum didn’t actually create a better impact than the Hang pan.
Interesting, thanks!
There's something else behind the actual note on the Handpan that really sets it apart from the Rav, I was hoping it would be closer in tone, because I'm not rich! And I was about to buy a Rav, but the more videos I see I really want the Handpan. There's so many other noises you can make by hitting between the notes. And that sound behind the note is just so pleasing to me. Guess I'll be saving a while longer.
Tanks
muito bom!
The Best regards :)
Sounds like really chill Crash Bandicoot music awesome dude awesome
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏💗
Thanks for this!
Awesome!
how AWESOME would be to own one of each...
Beautiful sounds and drums. Such a pity they are so expensive. Even the RAV, is out of reach for me, at the moment. Alas! Thx for the demo. 👍
I love these pillows!
is it possible to buy it at a reasonable price? I can only find reliable offers for at least 1k$
Really appreciate your insight. I got a D Didgeridoo and would love to add a hang to it. Which scale would you recommend?
Must be work to get to this you play beautiful:)
