Thank you for sharing these lessons. I have a C Maj Penta steel drum. Trying to find songs and tutorials and this one is of great help. Thanks a lot once again.
So glad to hear! Thanks so much for the comment 😀
Thank you for this. I literally just got a tongue drum and I'm not musical at all; this was helpful
I'm thinking of getting one! What do you think so far?
Vyv: Agree. Hoping I am able to play & enjoy it.
The simplicity of these lessons I am encouraged to buy one.I am a drummer and percussion ist.This is interesting, so you don't necessarily need to play a Pacific tune but sound and drum experimental.Its also very beautiful and as well.
Yes, I love how approachable the tongue drum is. As a fellow drummer/percussionist, it has been so fun to incorporate rudiments and apply other snare drum techniques to the tongue drum to give more dynamics to the sounds and rhythms !
Bought mine and cant wait. This inspired me to have fun and gave me a good starting point thank you!!!!
This is a big help. I’ll be practicing these techniques 👍🏼 I love my tongue drum but so very new at this.
Love iti Getting mine tomorrow!
Thank you for your tip. Not that many videos out there to learn and I'm just getting one myself.
Thank you so much for this video, I've been really struggling to find tutorials on how to play my tongue drum and this is greatly appreciated. I hope you do more of these in the future (:
Great lesson! Thank you!!
It gives me the chills,I am going to try this!
You tips are awesome. Just got my drum and I will go along with your instructional videos. Thanks again.
Such a cool video series Alexandra, thanks so much for sharing! :)
Most engaging. Well done.
Great video! I love how you open it up at 3:55!
Lovely one Thank you
I love that sound it was almost Celtic❤🎉
This is so cool! My tongue drum is being delivered tomorrow, and as a guitarist for 40+ years, I am excited to learn this instrument!
I will be watching all your videos in their entirety. Thankyou for all this knowledge ❤
Love hearing that! Thanks so much for your comment!
Thank you, just got my drum and this helped me alot! I hope you have more videos out, loved it!😊🦋💜🌻🌼
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm working on creating a 2nd online course for learning the tongue drum and will share a few of the lessons from this course on my YT channel soon : )
Thank you so much! This was so helpful 💗
Great. Please keep going.
Thank you sooo much. I loved the sound, but I was so lost. ‘Much better now👍🏽
Love this 💕 will deffo be watching more. I got a tongue drum a few weeks ago and managed to learn my first song in the first hour following another TH-cam channel who writes the key numbers at the bottom of the screen but haven’t attempted to memorise any more incase I forget the first one in the process 🤣 these techniques are really helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks Misty! So glad you found it helpful. Hope you enjoy playing your new tongue drum! They can be so much fun!
Thank you 😊
Thank you! Just got my drum today so just trying to figure out more. I just dove right in and started plaing Ode to Joy. Lol. Great video.
You’re a great teacher. I have a tank drum and want to improve. I’m going to check out your full course.
Hi Aaron. Thanks so much for all your positive comments and reviews. I hope you are enjoying the course : )
Thank you!
Best! 🙏 thanks
Thank You!.
bought my first pan today, bought a meinl mini steel tongue A major, will be buying a bigger maybe different one next month, i can't read music or discern notes by ear, but this instrument is perfect for my good rhythm and melody sense for improvising and freestyle.
I play with backing tracks and follow along with the chords or incorporate my own style into it. I record songs that sound good with the drum, and it’s pretty amazing when you’re able to play it back and hear everything come together. Playing is one thing, but I started by recording, to hear what sounds good and what doesn’t.
So many songs I’ve learned through just playing my tongue drum/ pearl jam, rolling stones, ect Highly recommend pink floyd backing track. I used marker and put what each Number is and began learning chords that way. I There’s limitless possibilities with the tongue drum
Wow
How do you record? I record the sound in my bedrooom and it reverbs too much
Oh interesting. What type of mic are you using? I have a shotgun mic that I attach to my camera. It's about 2 ft away from the drum and is right overhead. Depending on the size of your bedroom, it could also be the sound bouncing off the side of the walls, if you are in a tighter space. Hope that helps.

Just bought my first Kosmosky last month, very beautifully crafted and sounds perfect.
@@llm8268 Yay! I'm so happy to hear that! What scale did you get?
Would you kindly let me know which model this is? I ordered a kosmosky drum tuned to B-minor but mine sounds a bit different. Thanks in advance.
4:00 made me subcribe
That drum sound very good,what is it?
notes? is there a songbook for this instrument?
Where did you get the pillow you have your drum on?
This version with holes seems to be very special, anyway, this instrument is very powerful
Thanks for these. I've just ordered one. I'm so excited. What scale is yours?
That's so exciting! The one in this video is in a B Minor scale. : )
There seem to be three B minor scales - Astral, Insomnia, or Grace. Which is yours? I know so little about the sound of specific notes, but I do know what I like when I hear it. And your drum is wonderful. Thanks.
I have a 13 tone one and can't find anything showing the notes for it I've found pictures showing ones for 8 tone ones but 13 tone seems hard to find any help is appreciated 😁
Damn Steve, I see this comment on a couple of these videos. I hope you figure it out!
I have a d minor pentatonic scale. After hearing yours, mine sounds a bit sour. Is there an easy way to check for correct tone?
Hi Liala, can you share what style/brand of tongue drum you have? I know some types come with magnets that you can place around the drum to help tune/change the notes.
Thinking of buying one of these to help with meditation. Thank you for your videos! Do you recommend any particular brand/kind/seller? Thanks a million!
Hi Jenn! That is wonderful. I use mine for meditation all the time. My go to tongue drum is the Kosmosky Steel Tongue Drum. It's the one that is in this video.

What kinda of mallets are you using? My drum came with rubber mallets and im wondering will mallets like yours give it a different sound.
Hi Uke. I've only played my tongue drum with soft mallets or with my fingers, so I can't speak from experience, but my guess would be that harder mallets would probably create a loud sound, but might be too harsh for this drum. Rubber mallets, could be a nice though. They would probably create a nice bounce and would be good for rolling. I'll have to look into this more. Thanks for the question.
TRIPLE HIT X100
Where can I get those mallets?
These mallets came with the tongue drum I purchased from en.kosmosky.com/. I would reach out to them directly to see if they sell the mallets separately.
Great video but try removing the background hum next time
Iwanted to purchase this type of dram can you guide me

Hi there, how long is your course?
There are 10 lessons in the course and each range from 2-5 mins each. : )
@@rootrhythm thank you 😊😊
Hi, I noticed that your tongue drum has holes on that. May i know the reason? Should I drill holes on my one if I dont have them? Cheers!
The holes on the Kosmosky tongue drums are mostly decorative, so there should be no need to make holes in yours.
Where can I get this drum! It has such a sad and ominous sound! What key! What scale!

This one is in B-minor. It is considered the Astral B-minor scale from the Kosmosky Tongue Drum makers. Yes, I love the sound of this scale as well : )
