The Hang Drum

[King_Ellesar]

Heya folks! Thought I'd share this instrument I stumbled upon from another message board.

It's a very cool instrument, would love to have one...perhaps sample one too.

That is sweet! It's like a steel drum without the twangy awfulness ;) I love the sound.

The drummer in my band has one. He is also a very talented percussionist, and I got to jam with him on the hang drum on our last concert. That thing sounds amazing!

Saw a street performer playing this in Rome, had to stand and look for a while aswell, it's pretty cool :wink:
