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… “

update: the offer is not valid any more

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.

I published some free promo codes on my facebook page, if you want to be notified about stuff in the future, just “like” me there:

The PanArt Hang (drum) and related Handpans

Nadishana will be featured on my upcoming Solo CD/DVD with hang and handpan music, and we will record a full Duo CD later this year. Check out the first video of the new project, “the Voice of the Fallen Angels”, a piece for hang and handpans.

Learn how to play the cajon with the complete 2 hour video from David’s instructional DVD Complete Cajon 1. The video is now available as app in the appstore for Iphone and Ipad:

I recently started recording video workshops for bonedo.de.
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:
