          The Best Rav Vast Drum on a Budget

          Choosing a handpan is an issue, but choosing a handpan on a budget can become a big headache. The RAV Vast is a great instrument with unique musical characteristics, so it comes as no surprise that you’ve decided to get one for yourself. But how do you choose one on a budget? It goes without saying, buying a steel drum is not the same as buying a newspaper. How do you get one cheap and cheerful? Here’s an overview of the budget RAV Vast drums so that you can choose one that fits your budget.

          The pan instruments are unique instruments and there’s no question as to why they normally cost a lot. The word “handpan” and “cheap” usually do not stand together. The average price for a handpan is around $2000 and $1000 for a tongue drum.  You may have heard that the original Hang can cost more than $4000-5000.


          The price depends on the sound characteristics and varies from one artisan to another. Of course, there are some cheaper options like the handcrafted tank drums. Those are usually chosen by newbs on the hunt for a cheap handpan for sale.

          But you get what you pay for – the sound of the instrument is usually a far cry from the enchanting music played by a professional high-quality metal drum.

          So does cheap mean bad? Can you get a good drum at an affordable price when looking for a tongue drum for sale online? Oh, yes you can!

          When shopping for a RAV Vast drum, you can be sure that you get a high-quality steel tongue instrument with an amazing sound at a really affordable price.

          The RAV Vast has a sophisticated inner construction and is made of a special steel and that’s what differentiates it from a handpan and a tank drum and gives it its unique sound characteristics. More than 100 options were made and tested by the RAV drum’s creator – Andrey Remyannikov - before he achieved the best-sounding shape of the RAV Vast.

          This tongue drum will work perfectly for both professionals and beginners and still won’t put too big of a dent in your budget.

          How much does a RAV Vast drum cost? The drums differ in scale and the sound will differ depending on which scale you choose. Let’s take a closer look at how to choose the best one on a shoestring budget.

          When taking a look through the RAV Vast catalogue, you’ll see the scale notes under each musical instrument. The more complicated the scale is to create, the higher the price. The more peculiar scales require a higher mastery level and cost more.

          If you are looking for an affordable drum, take a look at more versatile scales like  the D Major and B Celtic for $730. These two drums will be a great choice for beginners because the sound is smooth and clear and can be used to play at home, meditate or experiment with jamming. The other drums that go for the same price but will be more of interest to experienced players are the B Rus, D Celtic Minor, and G Pygmy. The B Rus will work well for jamming as well while the D Celtic and G Pygmy will work better for solo musicians.

          If you are ready to move forward a bit and are looking for a particular sound, opt for the G Minor Pentatonic, B Golden Arcadia or B Major. These drums go for $790. Each one has its own sound characteristics.

          If you are searching for a really calming and deep sound, then opt for the Golden Arcadia. This drum was designed specifically for experienced musicians to play at long meditation sessions or for recording deep ethnic melodies.

          Jazz lovers, we’ve got something for you here. If you love vibrant cheerful melodies, the B Major will be the perfect choice for you. Professional musicians will love its uplifting mood.

          The G Minor Pentatonic is for Asian music style lovers as it uses a pentatonic note system. This system was mainly used in traditional Asian music such as Chinese and Japanese. If you are a fan of oriental ethnic music, take a closer look at this drum.

          Opt for quality

          An important disclaimer. Never buy a second-hand drum from a stranger or non-official partner. You can find it at a lower price, but you can never be sure about the quality as the instrument can have some hidden defects. Don’t bet on a dark horse to save a little. When you shop at an official or a partner store, you will get great customer service and a warranty.
