I’m so excited to play mine! I have one coming in tomorrow morning and as always, you’ve been a huge help on me deciding what drum to get. The price has dropped down to 50-59$ so I had to buy it off Amazon. I plan on using my Kalimba tabs on the drum, similar to what I’ve done with my lyre harp in the past. I’ve also gotten magnets to change tuning. I’m really excited to play this and figure it out, so thank you for putting out this video and creating good content, it helps me a lot as a not so musically inclined person 🥰😊😊😊
Looks awesome. The tuning is impeccable which is hard to say about the other drums on Amazon. I got about 7 different ones over the past 6 months and all of them made my ears bleed. 100% buying this one right now!
Ahhh. I saw this pop up in my feed. I just received the exact same drum today. I started watching and then decided I'm going to wait until after I do my review to finish it because I don't want your review to sway mine. LOL. From the specs... it looks like a good drum. I can see from your facial expressions that you liked it. That's a good sign. :-)
So funny I don't know how I missed this video It's funny how you me and Kale have touched on some do the things that we love about it and yet each of our videos has something different too Like yours had the magnets which i am so glad work because some of the others I have aren't And the fact that the tuning is spot on ! Your chords sounded great too! Enjoy your harmonic star too !!
I have been searching all week for another tongue drum to add to my collection! I've been trying so hard to find one that's not enormous, but also looks gorgeous and has a nice sound. Thank you so much for your review! I've found what I've been looking for!
I’ve been looking for something thing musical to play around with and seriously learn yesterday I decided on a tongue drum Today I ordered the Harmonic Star 🌟 arriving tomorrow I’ll be following you !
I sure do love your channel. I bought one similar about a year ago. It’s so soothing and helpful. Haven’t recorded with it yet but plan to along with various tonal chimes, even if they don’t necessarily jive because sometimes dissonance can actually be a friend when we allow it. Thanks for what you do.
Hello I am new to your channel and new to tongue drums. This drum is not available any longer on amazon. Do you know of another one that is available that is comparable to this one? Thanks so much 💖
Hello once again a great fun video! Each time is see you with a tongue drum I just have to run and get mine to play afterwards!! Just another idea I use with the drum is I place a coloured parachute out and place a tongue drum of the same colour on each section of the parachute, this provides each person with their own space and when you call out a colour you can hear the person doing a solo. Hope it helps with anyone doing group work! I wanted to ask do you write your own music for the tongue drum ? If so Will you publish? Off to play the day away!! Thank you!
Hi, I love watching your channel. You are so sweet and positive. I just wanted to give you a heads up that your videos' volume / sound quality needs some improvement. This video is so low that I can barely hear you with the volume cranked up and wearing headphones. Other videos have extremely low volume in some segments and comes back up suddenly - almost busting my eardrums. You can use the free software Audacity to adjust your volume levels in post production. Also, investing in a quality clip on mic would help. I believe a better sound quality would greatly increase your subscriber count and view retention. Take care.
I’m wondering how the sound compares to a larger drum. Does it have that etherial quality, it’s so hard to tell in the video 😅 (I am buying my first one and I just reeeally want to have a good one under 200)
Hi Molly…I ordered this drum and been in contact with harmonic star and they say that I can use the diatonic numeric sheets in C and play it on this drum. Does that make sense to you.
Even if the drum is in dmajor like this one where 1=d not c like the diatonic drums. I am so confused ….I can play any numeric sheet music without adjusting anything.
@@suemartel2883 you really can! Because even though 1= D, it still holds the same relative position on the scale, which is 1! The only time this gets hairy is if you're playing with someone whose drum is in a different key - then it would definitely sound off if your 1 was D and theirs was C 😊
Molly, Roosebeck has come out with a European Mountain Dulcimer that is their version of a Langoleik - a norweigan instrument. It is brand new. Have you seen it? I am considering one soon. Cynthia
by the looks of it they recently launched the product and are selling it at 50% discount. So I think the actual full price is $100. They have no indication on their website or amazon for how long this price will be valid for.
The tuning seems fair indeed for a mass-produced drum. Some harmonics are still a little off, but for that price it seems exceptionally good. :) If you look for really beautiful instruments and harmonics, I would recommend the Kosmosky drums, they are absolutely awesome - I own one, and you can listen to it there: th-cam.com/video/Z3f_oMrfVeg/w-d-xo.html There is also the Beetroot, but the instrument itself is more... bland. And then there is the totally other range of the Rav drums... but that's another story.

I am a little more tolerant of slightly off tuning, but this one is so in tune it really sings 😊

Oh how exciting!! I can't wait to watch your review, this is one of my favorite affordable tongue drums 😊
@@MusicalMollyKhan I got my review posted earlier this week so I finally came back to watch yours. We called out a lot of the same things. Funny.
Miss Molly another cool instrument. I am so excited!!!!!!! 😀 Cynthia
I bought one a few weeks ago and love it.
I'm so glad 😊
Grateful for this review. The songs made me tear up 🤓🤍🌹💫
So funny
I don't know how I missed this video
It's funny how you me and Kale have touched on some do the things that we love about it and yet each of our videos has something different too
Like yours had the magnets which i am so glad work because some of the others I have aren't
And the fact that the tuning is spot on !
Your chords sounded great too!
Enjoy your harmonic star too !!
It is so funny how we all notice different things! I love seeing everyone's perspective 😊
Just bought one tonight for my girls for Christmas. I’m probably going to have to buy another one lol.
I have been searching all week for another tongue drum to add to my collection! I've been trying so hard to find one that's not enormous, but also looks gorgeous and has a nice sound. Thank you so much for your review! I've found what I've been looking for!

I might be getting one for my birthday and I'm super excited about it

I've been looking at this drum and have it in my wishlist, so I am so glad that I found your video 😍
I am so excited, they are back in stock and I was able to order one! Yay!
Yay!! That's wonderful news 😊
I sure do love your channel. I bought one similar about a year ago. It’s so soothing and helpful. Haven’t recorded with it yet but plan to along with various tonal chimes, even if they don’t necessarily jive because sometimes dissonance can actually be a friend when we allow it.

That sounds so lovely. So glad you're enjoying the videos 😊
This drum is amazing. My next purchase. Thank you so much. 🥰💕🌟
I love how happy you are!
Thank you ☺️
Hello I am new to your channel and new to tongue drums. This drum is not available any longer on amazon. Do you know of another one that is available that is comparable to this one? Thanks so much 💖
Love it! At first when you started playing I thought you were going to play Jacob's ladder.
Very pretty drum.

That is such a fun idea! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
💖 Love your enthusiasm ....
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you so much for your videos. I just ordered this today based on your review!
I'm also thinking I'm going to get the Woody from Kosmosky!
Hi have you ever used the rubber finger rings? Mine sounds awful on the steel drum but the wood drum sticks work well.

This drum is currently £197 from a supplier on Amazon UK!!
Hi Molly…I ordered this drum and been in contact with harmonic star and they say that I can use the diatonic numeric sheets in C and play it on this drum. Does that make sense to you.
Yes, you absolutely can! The number sheets should work with any numbered drum (or any drum with a full diatonic octave) 😊
Even if the drum is in dmajor like this one where 1=d not c like the diatonic drums. I am so confused ….I can play any numeric sheet music without adjusting anything.
@@suemartel2883 you really can! Because even though 1= D, it still holds the same relative position on the scale, which is 1! The only time this gets hairy is if you're playing with someone whose drum is in a different key - then it would definitely sound off if your 1 was D and theirs was C 😊
Thank you very much and here I was trying to find music in d major and finding nothing except for classical preludes.
Molly, Roosebeck has come out with a European Mountain Dulcimer that is their version of a Langoleik - a norweigan instrument. It is brand new. Have you seen it? I am considering one soon. Cynthia
Oh that sounds amazing! I will look that up, thanks for the tip 😊
Can you please make some videos on double tongue drum. Tutorials and melodies
I will work on it! So far I'm really enjoying the double tongue drums as improvisational instruments 😊
Hi! I just got this drum today! I am super excited, but I am having trouble finding tabs to play. Do you have any suggestions? Great video, thank you!
Thank you! You can try this video, it has some great ideas for finding TD music: th-cam.com/video/VT6l8pl7xdQ/w-d-xo.html
Do you any lessons for kids on your channel ?
Is this really only $49.00?
by the looks of it they recently launched the product and are selling it at 50% discount. So I think the actual full price is $100. They have no indication on their website or amazon for how long this price will be valid for.
It is! It's a great price 😊
But it is not $49.00 on their website and it is not available on Amazon anymore 😓
I think this is the one I ordeted

There is also the Beetroot, but the instrument itself is more... bland. And then there is the totally other range of the Rav drums... but that's another story.
Yes! I love Kosmosky and have a number of their drums too 😊 Thank you for the recommendation!
@@MusicalMollyKhan Ohhh I just saw you have reviews for them. Bad me not having watched enough of your videos. :P
@@drops-of-music haha, no worries! They are excellent drums 😊
