“I’m stunned! The quality of the teaching and the product is just amazing.” – Paul Marshall
“This is in my opinion the most complete work around this unique and magic tambourine for intermediate and advanced players” – Andrea Piccioni
"In short, a modern approach to a traditional Middle Eastern instrument. Absolutely fantastic, inspiring and recommended!" - Fabian Feld
Great CD, very different and fresh, unique playing style, very developed composition aspect.
Real innovation in the world of handpans in terms of playing and also in terms of the conception of the album.
Incredible album, Congrats! Very articulate and crisp sound – great recording quality! Every precise stroke is well captured. Looking forward to hearing more!
This is an amazing album. Impeccable technique and captivating melodies…thank you for making such beautiful music.
Just saw you open last night for Dead Can Dance in Vancouver and was absolutely blown away. Just bought this album here and will listen to it nonstop for days I’m sure. This is exceptionally beautiful and accomplished stuff, David. I can’t believe what you did last night with just a tambourine!! Congratulations to you! And thank you for this music.

Your performance in Vancouver was amazing. I fell in love with the sound of Hang immediately. It sounds very zen. I already bought your album and will enjoy it a lot.
Just saw you at the DCD concert in Montreal. Absolutely amazing set you had to open the show. Look forward to hearing more from you. Good luck on the rest of the tour!
Wow! David opened for Dead Can Dance in at Wolftrap tonight. You have to see him play to really appreciate what is being done–particularly on the tambourine. And I hadn’t even conceived of the hang and hand pans. Beautiful!
I saw you in Vienna VA last night you were absolutely incredible. I am spreading the word.
Thank you David for sharing your music with us in Austin, Texas. Your music is passionate and inspiring. Also thank you for saving the cricket, your heart shines with love and compassion. I look forward to seeing you perform in the future.

Thank you for thursday !
I really am enjoying the music you play here, David. The unique tonal soundscapes created in these pieces are quite expansive in scope – for handpan music, this sets new sonic territory.
Would love to hear you play live someday.
Hello, I saw you live at Prague- opening a concert for Dead Can Dance. It was magical and I’m very happy that your music will now accompany me in my life. Keep creating!
Hello, I’ve seen you live in Utrecht (holland) together with Dead Can Dance. Amazing technics, great music.

Incredible album.
A little question about the 10th song. It’s named “The Sound of Viborg”
In the country i live in, theres a city called Viborg, so i wondering what you are referring to in the song title.
Thx
I really enjoyed your solo opening performances for Dead Can Dance yesterday evening at the Royal Festival Hall, London. The resonating tonal range of the hang drum combined with your fluid like rhythms are simply beautiful. I particularly liked the duet with soprano saxophone…truly magical.

It’s named after a village in Russia close to the border to Finland.
wow!!! NADA QUE DECIR.. SENCILLAMENTE MARAVILLOSO..ES COMO SI TE SACARAN Y TE LLEVARAN AL UNIVERSO…..
As said Nadishana : “Great CD, very different and fresh, unique playing style, very developed composition aspect.
Real innovation in the world of handpans in terms of playing and also in terms of the conception of the album.”
I add that this music touches the heart.
¡Increíble! Awesome interpretation in the Dead can Dance act, you should come to México for a solo concert
Your tambourine solo before the DCD show was a pure moment of musical extasy … thanks!
Great music! Thanks for the magic, by your emotions clear and compelling. Many spiritual feeling in your hands.
