I was wondering how these are made after seeing some for sale at an art show. Now I know why they cost $500 and more. Lots of hard work and fine tuning. You played it beautifully.
How did i just now found you out? How do you not have 1 million subscribers? Watching this process is so satisfying and much more entertaining than any restoration video I watched 💜💜💜💜💜
Dude. The steadiness of your hands is amazing! And the way those edges matched!? That's some serious attention to detail! Professional metal bender right here. Thanks for this
we are a different breed my friend! i love relaxing to random build and repair videos specially louis rossman , the guitologist to voltair and ben heck and many others!
It is exciting. From the dedication and passion to achieve something so delicate. My greatest respect and admiration for showing a wonder that will last for years and generations. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Holy cow! Well done, Sir. This gives me every confidence that when you do get back to the metal spinning that your Hang drum will be incredible too, no doubt.
That is my favorite percussion instrument you have made so far. Beautiful sound and shape as well. There is a Scottish woodturner on TH-cam named Gary, I can't remember his last name, who has a beautiful transparent painting technique that looks like galaxies. I think that would look really nice on this.
Sounds nice. I was hoping to hear explaination of how to cut the notes. Sure I saw the circles & lines but not sizes & lengths. Thank you for not putting in horrible background music.
Size and length is determined by the note itself. Draw out the pattern and start by cutting the highest note first. Meaning, cut the slots till you achieve the note you want. From there cut each note a little deeper until you get your octave. There is no set measurements for notes.
Very nice, innovative idea ! Let it be most popular instrument, it is suitable for all sorts of musical scales and types of music that is either for folk, western, Indian or another forms. You shall be awarded by many
Hi Uncle Cy. Somebody bought me a tongue drum as a present, but I do not like the color. I am quite an artistic person and wondered if I could paint it myself. I would love to spray it and have some metallic element to the paint graduating into different colors. I thought about maybe spraying it with paint, but I wondered what one you might recommend and whether I need to mask up all the vents on the drum so that the paint does not get inside. Can you give me any advise on this and how to avoid it changing the sound. Many thanks, Elaine.
AWESOME! It sounds as good as some of the expensive ones I've heard. Looks Great, too! Now, I have to go buy a propane tank... see what you've done... Lol. ( I can't wait to get started. You're an inspiration!)
@@gorillaau Actually, I bought 4 tanks, but living at 7,600ft up in the mountains, I've been using them as propane tanks. I do walk by them and tap on them, and the pitch tells me how full they are.
@@thomasmartinscott I have used that trick myself for larger tanks, those that you can't easily rock. The smaller BBQ size one trick is to pour hot water down a side. The hot water will evaporate off the section that has no liquid gas, leaving a clear line of the liquid gas inside. Caveat: I think LPG as we have is the same.
Awesome... Questions The more you cut a tongue, the lower the pitch? The more you Sand a tongue, the higher you can raise a pitch? Tuning the tongues in a star pattern rather than clockwise or counter clockwise is important because every time you tune a tongue it effects the other tongues? Did I get this right?
The pattern of tuning has little to no effect. I settled on the pattern I used because it is intuitive to use (the notes switch between hands consecutively). But yes longer slots = lower notes and thinner tongues = higher notes.
Very nicely done .. Sounds good too .. Would have like a closer look at the underside .. Would it be useful to weld a tube to, Darbuka style, or is that a no no ?
Hi greetings from Argentina. I am musician, i ea te to make this instrument. Where did you get the paterns and the meissures to do the cuts?. Very cool!!! Thank you!!
I was about to comment on tuning it to c major, was going to say you should do a minor. But then I realized I’m an idiot because a minor is the same as c major.
Hi there. I'm trying to make one myself and I would like to know what key you made this one in? What notes and where on the drum. Very much appreciated and great video ❤️
This one was in the key of "C". I lay out the notes so that alternating strikes plays the scale. I put the lower notes at the top and higher notes on the side toward me. Hope that helps.
that's a really great drum you made there, I have to mention that I heard that highest note is still a bit off, maybe if you made the tongues differ in size you'd have an easier time tuning them?
I noticed the kids playing hard with them and the note unannealed tangs are softer/might bend easier than if they are annealed then the structure of the metal gets harder. Some peopel say they notice the differenc ein tone but I dont lol. Mostly for metallurgy purposes although if kids aren't banging on them it shouldn't matter :p
Sounds of cutting metal are so calming

About as joyous as it gets - not sure if it was more soulfully soothing watching you make the drum than actually listening to it!! Thanks anyway 😷👍🎶🙌

@@nofuxxgaming6228 🙃👍
I had been puzzling over how you could obtain the different tones with this drum, creating the absolutely mesmerizing music! Wow!!!
This video was so helpful. My son is a percussionist and I made him one in G minor.
All the negative comments and thumbs down people are probably Priests from the temple of Syrynx. That was a treat to watch thank you.
It's really amazing, it's created a peerless holy product
There's something really satisfying about watching him work this metal.
I was so fascinated watching this video that I went and ordered one!
Yo tengo uno del místico Cajón del Maipo en Santiago de Chile y no sabía cómo lo creaban, Lindo trabajo! Love it!
Magnifique. Excellent travail. Bravo

😳😳😳🤩🤯🤯🤯🤯...... The skill level and talent of some people is literally on describable ..amazing job!!!! Where and how and who and what just amazing
Very creative. Lots of hard work. Quite Amazing!
This is beautiful and marvelous. I wish to try my hands on building one
bravo quel beau travail c'est magnifique vous êtes un Artiste!!!
Everything about this video is beautiful.
This makes me appreciate my drum so much more. You sure know what you are doing. This was a great video. Thanks.
Congratulations on making this, it sounds and looks awesome!
That is amazing and it sounds so beautiful
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing. Those jeans with strategically-placed holes while welding ! ;)
Designer Jeans, designed by a welder, for a welder.
So much better than wearing shorts.
Nice work!beautiful sound
Absolutely beautiful and sounds so nice, I'm almost tempted to make one, just for fun...
Of course I have no idea how to play it...
tried tuning my guitar with a jigsaw, didn't work! Great vid, inspiring
john chapman 😂👍
Try tuning your guitar with an angle grinder next time. 🙂
Guitars can only be tuned with a reciprocal saw. You’re welcome. 🦋🦋🦋
Congratulations on your talent as a mechanic and musician !!!
That’s just glorious! I’ve always wanted one, how amazing to be able to create one for yourself!
This was so fun to watch.
You’re simply amazing, Cy 😍🤩
very resourceful man indeed, great skills
Awesome piece of art! Congrats 😎
Well all I can say it's totally a super men's job! I love it💙
Mesmerizing, thank you for sharing this with us. Love the technique and final product.
Awesome...... These things are cool.. great job Cy..
Brilliant and beautiful. I will be making one as soon as I come across an old tank that is no longer in use. Namaste!
the smell is to much, very bad, oh god the old lady wanted to kill me. buy a new tank, or check out some of my drums, Hand hammered, no tanks !
This is so cool I have looking for a tongue drum in rainbow colors.
Holy cow! Well done, Sir. This gives me every confidence that when you do get back to the metal spinning that your Hang drum will be incredible too, no doubt.
nice paint job too!
good job buddy! these can be hard to tune, you nailed it!!

I just got to make one of them.
I love the sound
Thank you for taking the time to make, edit and post this very good video!
Enchanting!
Really enjoyed this vid! Nice one.

Lotta work, good job. You know your tools.
GREAT VID AND GREAT PLAYING
Parabéns. Um grande e maravilhoso artista.Que paciência!!!!!!!
I swear, as soon as the sanding started, something blew in my eye...
Great Work
Really cool project Cy. Great to watch. Cheers, Jim
An amazing instrument! Looks like a lot of work though.
Wow pretty kewl I want to attempt to make one of these now...your video been super helpful ...and btw your playing awesome on it ;)
you're a legend Uncle
Congratulations!

How did you go? I take it that you have tracked down propane tank.

Interesting project Cy. I like the editing, the transitions were perfect. Thanks for sharing.
😻Wow uncle Cy👍🏼🥰
Sound fascinating!
This is so awesome!!!! Do you sell these?
Very cool. My musical ability is limited to turning on the stereo.
Gipsy Smith on these things everthing sounds good because of the way they are tuned so a perfect instrument for you ;)
Gipsy Smith yep I had never played one before making one. This one was my 5th one to make.
my musical ability is limited to mayonnaise so I think you got me beat.
smitty webenjagermanjensen is mayonnaise an instrument? 😂 -Patrick Star
Mayonnaise is also called the splotchophone
Cool drum can double as a grill.
I want one so bad but the cost is so much .food before play i say.. You do amazing work .. Im in awww ..
You can find some under $100 on Amazon that are still pretty decent quality
Magnifique. Pour ce magnifique partage.
very cool.
Guy's a genius..!!
Frickin awesome dude!
Fantastic!
try using the 0.8 mm cutter disks on that grinder.
works like a hot knife tru butter.

Awesome...

Hi greetings from Argentina. I am musician, i ea te to make this instrument. Where did you get the paterns and the meissures to do the cuts?. Very cool!!! Thank you!!
No patterns. And no measurements. I used a phone app to tune it and figured the math for myself. Good Luck
I was about to comment on tuning it to c major, was going to say you should do a minor. But then I realized I’m an idiot because a minor is the same as c major.
Great. Thanks for share with usa

They are different sizes. But it is really close. You'd be surprised how little difference there is in surface area when you do the math.
Hello man! this is amazing , can you give me the size of the main cercles?
Good job. I broke a pile of jigsaws before switching to the dremel LOL. Don't forget to heat treat it!
Danny Lee I have found that heat tearing has little to no effect on sound. Is there another purpose to it?

Hello .good job.what's your app? Can u tell me,please?
Good job! take a look at some of mine, they are tuned to 432hz, thanks, Bugsy
Muy muy buen trabajo !!!!!
Lots of hard work good project. But be careful while cutting . God bless you
Incredible!!
