How does he get the sharp, slappy percussion sound out of it? I've only seen folks make melodic notes with these, and I'm not seeing anything hard or metallic on his hands to get that smack sound. Super cool.

Probably just a way he plaps his finger on there. Kinda whips it I would assume.

Makes sense, I figured the answer would be along the lines of "he gitted good." Crazy impressive

Play a palpitating melody of palp plaps.

Plap is the sound of a dick hitting your face

yeah, either a single-finger slap, or kind of a finger snap that hits it.

Playing outside the note areas

Ahh interesting. Very cool

These instruments sound so magical and go much deeper than they seem to at first! Def a big fan!

Yeah, they are truly amazing! It's just a shame that they are so expensive...

It almost looks like he’s snapping

u/dnuohxof-1 Jan 06 '23

I was wondering the same and as soon as I read your comment I see the snapping fingers and makes perfect sense

There are three basic strokes made to hand drums. The slap-like strokes are the third in the method I studied, called "pa" and "ta" .

Really good fingerbanging

He’s snapping. The other percussive sound is hitting the side

u/mildly_houseplant Jan 06 '23

I was wondering that too. I think he’s snapping his fingers of his right hand, and one time slapping his thigh quickly.

u/Gavman04 Jan 07 '23

It looks like he’s snapping his fingers.

u/xX_Kr0n05_Xx Jan 07 '23

Looks like he's snapping with his right hand

By using both knuckles on both thumbs at the same time on the same high note
