Makes a nice sound ,

Very soothing but I wonder how it sounds without going through the studio mixer? Very enjoyable though all the same. Reminds of the guitar playing I like to listen to.

I quite like Hang drums but after a time, they become quite boring. They suffer from the very limited set of notes that can be played and the fact that you don't have chords as such. So the music always tends to migrate to repetitive rhythms. Ok in small measures imo. There are some great YouTube clips of players.

Also, worth watching the great Sci-Fi film Solaris, with George Clooney. It is a mysterious film and most of its music is hang drums which accentuate that spookiness.
