Max ZT is a Percussion artist. Max ZT was six years old when he heard the hammered dulcimer at an American folk festival near Chicago. Twenty-one years later he is one of the youngest musicians playing this string instrument. Lauded as the “Jimi Hendrix of Hammered Dulcimer" by NPR, and a "Force of nature" by NY Music Daily, Max ZT is an innovator of the instrument. Taking his roots from classical Irish folk music, Max has transplanted his compositional techniques to both Senegal, where he studied the Mandinko technique with the Cissoko griot family, and to Mumbai, India, where he received a grant to study under the great santoor master Pandit Shivkumar Sharma.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Wow. They totally tripped together before. They're at such a high frequency together. Trippin on dopamine from living their dreams, maybe.
The dulcimer is my favorite, I grew up going to rennesiance festivals for my birthday and the music was my favorite!
Same here, Ashley! I love the hammered dulcimer and have since I was a teen back in the 80s and am bummed that this beautiful instrument, has not gotten more noteriety and acclaim. Carole Koenig, from the Narada record label, I believe, was my first introduction to this wonderful instrument. I owned a casset tape full of medieval, renaissance dulcimer duets that Carole did with a talented violinist. Haunting and beautiful music!
I met Max this week, it was quite the treat to hear his band and discuss what I thought of this blend here.
Amazing! I can't believe I found a talk combining two of my favourite hobbies! Very inspirational. :)
Being a guitarist and a drummer, this is the perfect union. At the same time fulfilling my need for more relaxing instruments. Its time to bring this into more mainstream music.
check out kora too! it's a lute-harp harp-guitar that is very mesmerizing indeed.
What a joy to see and hear to world coming to gether, is a welt of joy and happiness a round this world that we live in.
Two amazing artists! How wonderful and fun for them to be experimenting together with such joy!
this felt like blessing

I used to learn things from TEDx... it's becoming more and more like a 'listen to a story about how awesome I am.'
go learn how to tap dance, classical music or how to collaborate with people with beautiful ideas.
You probably don't understand what the idea was and what the message was. I bet you can't do that so shush.
It is about someones unique perspective on their art form. If you see bragging in this then I think you are missing the point.
What would your Tedx talk be about? I thought it was fascinating.
Alex Schepers Ted talks are informative tedx is personal experiences and growth of individuals
Genius
wooow ❤
Poetry in motion...
Just added the link to my FB page. Each adds multiple facets to the other. Would love to learn both, but have some physical conditions that would probably disallow me to learn either.
Wow.
❤
In Persia we call the hammered dulcimer a santoor
Would love to sit in and add scat vocals to this. I had Chuck Mangione in my mind, listening to this.
Yogi martin scat is fake news

Thumbs down to all the people who judge a performance on a hairstyle!
I'm taking lessons from the woman that taught Dulcimer Dude.
When the ted talk is normal. But the people talking, are making music as they tell their stories.
I would have gotten more chills if the tap dancer was more on beat. 6/10
I guess Tap tap?
this is epic. rock out with my guitar,Harmonies with my sitar, sing a song in my hart,galaxy deep,far beyond driven, check da sun dial, search ya sol a wile, folks lie, but often human hart stays awhile, soup 4 da soul, not on my phone, start a bon fire,back 2 basics,say it aint so, well I know it true, call a truce, in the hart of u, get along with the gang,open your mind and hart if a k9 can care 4 a injured feline, what is said of da human hart, femilyrise with your family in there eyes and hart lay on the table disable that pocket pal 4 a sec and find the Intel in the intellectual that you share common grounds yet to be found expressing yourselves. ..
Nice work. But they could do much better than that I feel.
I enjoyed the background info. odd match but very unique and passionate.
Yeah, it is pretty messy sounding. It's their art I guess.
messy? .. As a beginner student of music, I heard quite the opposite ...an incredibly complex rhythm, and both these guys didn't miss a beat, despite the irregular, shifting tempo throughout the piece.
The dulcimer player looks like Jake Gyllenhaal with crazy hair.
Zelda music?
I LOVE ZELDA MUSIC!
both art forms are amazing but when they com together something is lost dose not work for me
how? if anything them coming together helped each other.
會累齁
At the age of 70, I notice with the current occupant in the Oval Office, we are by far, an angrier, testier, more confrontational country. Such a waste and, a pity. Often when it isn't even necessary. How about we just enjoy the tap dancing and dulcimer??
Not at all dissimilar to the sound of dulcimer and bodhran, really. Just a bodhram played with the feet. :)
Bring up that leg and yeet it to the ground
man bun - thumbs down
Rick Johnson -thumbs down
Is that all you noticed? You are really unobservant!
The tap dancing is rhythmically impressive, but looses the visual aesthetics of dance. Might as well play drums.
Monika Wiedmann watch tap dancers he's not dancing here simply playing taps. You dance while tapping
MAN LEARN ABOUT YOUR INSTRUMENT BEFORE YOU DO PUBLIC LECTURES!!!
1. It is not from Persia. it is older than persian empire. Babylonian used it, and maybe even their predecesors.
2. It is not primarity used today for american and irish music. Slavic nations adopted it much more and it became part of their folk music, long before it reached Ireland, and before it reahed america. So learn about your instrument before you talk! Not to mention it is the part of asian folk music much more than american and irish. You have american (lack) of education, dont you?
You're wrong. Yangqin, the chinese descendant of the dulcimer means "foreign either". The Yangqin was introduced to China from the Persians as the Santur. The Chinese modified the Santur, making it bigger and changing the playing style slightly. The Cimbalom is a similar instrument used in Slavic music, yes. But the Dulcimer is mostly used in Celtic and American Folk music.
Sorry Michal, the American Hammered Dulcimer brought to the United States in the 1800s by the Irish and Germans is primarily used for American Folk Music, Celtic Music, the music of Northumbria/folk music from England. The Eastern and Southern European instruments (cymbal, tsimbl, cimbalom, cimbaly, etc) are all slightly different and are not the hammered dulcimer. The Persian form is believed to be the earliest form coming before Santoor (Kashmir) and before Yang Qin (China). The origin is disputed, and there is indeed a Santur that is found in ancient Mesopotamia, but it is widely believed to have originated in Persia. Additionally, dont forget that this is a 10 minute shared TEDx talk...so....can't get too deep into the disputed history...Thanks for your comment though!
@@MaxZT But I did not meant american hamered dulcimer, but dulcimer in general as type of instrument.
@@michalviktorin6758 Well I wouldn't generalize since there are dozens of forms, each rich in their own worlds...They each have different names (Santoor, Santur, Cimbalom, Tsimbl, Yang Qin, Khim, Salterio, Hackbrett, and many others), come from different traditions, have different construction, techniques, hammers, musical styles, etc...As someone who has dedicated his life to this instrument, and have studied around the world, I am well aware of the beauty of its predecessors. The above talk however is about the instrument that I am playing, the hammered dulcimer.
@@MaxZT One day I will get one too. But before that, I want duduk and huuuuuge gong. ;-D
