Your Instructor: Nadishana (Siberia – Berlin) is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and designer of experimental musical instruments. He’s an innovator in the field of contemporary ethnic music and one of the musicians who are shaping and developing the culture of melodic finger percussion (handpan, rav). The use of odd meters, polyphony, ‘split hand’ technique, progressive harmonies, complex articulation – are characteristic features of Nadishana’s original style.

“Tongue drums are amazing! They are the perfect addition for any handpan player who wants to add another color to their sound palette and in this course we explore the unique features of these beautiful instruments with you!”
David Kuckhermann (Germany)

FAQs about RAV Drum

• What is the difference between Vast and Vast 2?

We offer 2 models: RAV VAST (1.5mm steel) and RAV VAST2 (2mm steel).
RAV VAST2 is made from thicker steel and it's approx. 15% louder then RAV VAST, but has a bit less overtones. Both models has nice long sustain.
Please note:
- VAST2 is not an improved model of the instrument. It's just a variation with slightly different tone. Some scales works on 1,5mm steel and some works better on 2mm steel.
- It's not technically possible to make VAST scales on VAST2.
- VAST and VAST2 is the same price.
The RAV Vast is about 4.9kg, and the Vast 2 is about 5.9kg. The models are scale related. To hear the examples of the sound of the each model please scroll up this page.

• What are the parameters of the drum?

Material: 1.5 - 2 mm steel (depending on the scale)
Cover: thin hydrophobic covering, requires periodic wiping.

• How can I choose the right scale for myself?

We have a simple advice for you: please listen to all the samples and find which one you like the most. Usually the one you enjoy listening the most is the one you will enjoy playing the most!

We recommend G Pygmy, B Celtic or D Major - the most popular scales among beginners.
