Frame Drum, Cajon, Percussion - David Kuckhermann http://www.framedrums.net FrameDrums.net Thu, 03 May 2012 07:02:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Review of “the Path of the Metal Turtle” http://www.framedrums.net/review-of-the-path-of-the-metal-turtle/ http://www.framedrums.net/review-of-the-path-of-the-metal-turtle/#comments Tue, 03 Apr 2012 23:36:48 +0000 David http://www.framedrums.net/?p=2683

My Solo CD was recently reviewed on Handpan Magazine.

Read an excerpt below or check out the full review here.

“David Kuckhermann is something of a percussive mastermind, skilled in Frame drum, Cajon, Udu, and more recently, Hang, and HandPan. And that percussive background is shiningly evident in his style of HandPan play (in a good way). With controlled hands whirling in perfect rhythm in ways that those of us less skilled, can only at best, use as a yardstick towards which to aim.

Deliciously hypnotic, and mysterious, The Path of the Metal Turtle features six HandPan (Including Hang, Halo, and SPB), across eleven tracks. And while I intended to half-listen to this album while tidying (long-overdue) my apartment, it soon became obvious that this would be impossible, and in some small way, unjust. There was nothing for it but to fluff up a large pile of cushions, lay back my head, close my eyes, and take the journey in its entirety. Savoring every beat, and resonant tone. Like a man enjoying every morsel of his final meal… “

As many of you might have realized, percussion-net has been offline for a while. The website needs to be completely re-programmed. All DVDs will be available for a reduced price of $39 for a limited amount of time.

Buy a DVD or send us a donation to help cover the expenses and bring percussion-net back online.

So far the cajon and frame drum workshops are published. Bongos, udu, shaker and more will follow.
The videos in German, but more or less self-explanatory:

(PanArt Hang (drum), SpB, Halo, BellArt Bells, etc.)

In the first video the different patterns are explained, and in the second video you can see a composition based on those patterns.


 

Hang Solo


The instrument in this video is an SpB made in Russia in F Integral tuning. Unfortunately I can not help you getting one of these instruments. Most handpans are more or less difficult to obtain, or have waiting lists. If you are looking for more info on how to acquire a PanArt Hang drum, Halo, SpB, Bells, Caisa or other handpan, check out the forum at http://www.handpan.org.
