Sounds of cutting metal are so calming

How did i just now found you out? How do you not have 1 million subscribers? Watching this process is so satisfying and much more entertaining than any restoration video I watched 💜💜💜💜💜

I was wondering how these are made after seeing some for sale at an art show. Now I know why they cost $500 and more. Lots of hard work and fine tuning. You played it beautifully.

All the negative comments and thumbs down people are probably Priests from the temple of Syrynx. That was a treat to watch thank you.

Dude. The steadiness of your hands is amazing! And the way those edges matched!? That's some serious attention to detail! Professional metal bender right here. Thanks for this

I had been puzzling over how you could obtain the different tones with this drum, creating the absolutely mesmerizing music! Wow!!!

It's really amazing, it's created a peerless holy product

I really like that you showed the tuning process. It was really helpful!

Holy cow! Well done, Sir. This gives me every confidence that when you do get back to the metal spinning that your Hang drum will be incredible too, no doubt.

Really cool project Cy. Great to watch. Cheers, Jim

This is amazing! Great work and thanks for recording!!

Mesmerizing, thank you for sharing this with us. Love the technique and final product.

This video was so helpful. My son is a percussionist and I made him one in G minor.

Thank you for taking the time to make, edit and post this very good video!

Congratulations on your talent as a mechanic and musician !!!

tried tuning my guitar with a jigsaw, didn't work! Great vid, inspiring

Guitars can only be tuned with a reciprocal saw. You’re welcome. 🦋🦋🦋

That’s just glorious! I’ve always wanted one, how amazing to be able to create one for yourself!

This is beautiful and marvelous. I wish to try my hands on building one

There's something really satisfying about watching him work this metal.

That was amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!

Awesome...... These things are cool.. great job Cy..

About as joyous as it gets - not sure if it was more soulfully soothing watching you make the drum than actually listening to it!! Thanks anyway 😷👍🎶🙌

Nice work!beautiful sound

I was so fascinated watching this video that I went and ordered one!

This makes me appreciate my drum so much more. You sure know what you are doing. This was a great video. Thanks.

U a beast in these streets

This was so fun to watch.

That is amazing and it sounds so beautiful

GREAT VID AND GREAT PLAYING

Absolutely beautiful and sounds so nice, I'm almost tempted to make one, just for fun... Of course I have no idea how to play it...

So good, i like it.

Fantastic!

That is my favorite percussion instrument you have made so far. Beautiful sound and shape as well. There is a Scottish woodturner on KZread named Gary, I can't remember his last name, who has a beautiful transparent painting technique that looks like galaxies. I think that would look really nice on this.

I love the sound

nice paint job too!

Interesting project Cy. I like the editing, the transitions were perfect. Thanks for sharing.

Whoah!!!!! Beautiful!

@@thomasmartinscott I have used that trick myself for larger tanks, those that you can't easily rock. The smaller BBQ size one trick is to pour hot water down a side. The hot water will evaporate off the section that has no liquid gas, leaving a clear line of the liquid gas inside. Caveat: I think LPG as we have is the same.

So beautiful

try using the 0.8 mm cutter disks on that grinder. works like a hot knife tru butter.

I noticed the kids playing hard with them and the note unannealed tangs are softer/might bend easier than if they are annealed then the structure of the metal gets harder. Some peopel say they notice the differenc ein tone but I dont lol. Mostly for metallurgy purposes although if kids aren't banging on them it shouldn't matter :p

Sounds nice. I was hoping to hear explaination of how to cut the notes. Sure I saw the circles & lines but not sizes & lengths. Thank you for not putting in horrible background music.

@DIYwithUncleCy

4 жыл бұрын

Size and length is determined by the note itself. Draw out the pattern and start by cutting the highest note first. Meaning, cut the slots till you achieve the note you want. From there cut each note a little deeper until you get your octave. There is no set measurements for notes.

I want one so bad but the cost is so much .food before play i say.. You do amazing work .. Im in awww ..

too cool omg

Awesome video. I have a couple old tanks in my scrap pile. I need to make one of these. Question tho'. I'd need some way of carrying it and preferably being able to play it while doing so. Would it damage the sound quality to weld a few loops around the equator for a leather carry strap?

@DIYwithUncleCy

Because of the way this instrument works anything that puts tension on the shell will dampen the sound (or at least in my experimenting it has). So I can only assume that hanging it from loops on the shell would dampen the resonating chamber. However I have not tried that so do not know for sure. It is pretty much a sit and play instrument. They do strange things compared to a regular drum too, If you set it on a hard surface it dampens and doesn't sound good ,I thought this was due to the opening in the bottom being covered, but when I set one on a carpeted floor or the couch (still covering the opening) they sound fine, weird huh. Still even not being able to carry and play I recommend making one to play they are extremely fun.

Cool

Great work man!! Im looking forward to make one for myself. I want to make one on the scale of C major but i dont know the diameter of the notes or the order they should go and im kind of lost there. Can you give me some advice please???

@DIYwithUncleCy

6 жыл бұрын

Jose Antonio Casas The diameter is unimportant. Make 8 same size figures. Cut the top 1\3 of each. Then pick one and begin cutting the slots down and checking it till you have a C (you want this to be a high octave to start from) the longer the slots the lower the note will be. I use an app on my phone to tune with. Once you get the first note pick one next to it and tune the next lower note. I alternate across the first note making playing it very easy. With that bit of an explanation and the video you should be able to do it. Just be careful when cutting the tank.
