What is the RAV Vast?
The RAV Vast is a unique steel drum with the characteristics of a professional musical instrument.
It was designed by a professional engineer who tested hundreds of metal prototypes to provide you with a steel tongue drum with inimitable sound quality and an authentic design.
It’s your key to the world of music that will work for both professional musicians and those who never played any musical instrument before.
Is the RAV Vast a steel pan drum? No, it’s a steel tongue drum relative to handpans/pan drums but is a distant musical instrument with its unique voice and specific technical parameters. Moreover, there are tongue drums for beginners in the RAV Vast collection.
Are you a professional musician? A careful parent who wants to provide his child with a tool for education and development? Maybe you are a sound healer or practitioner who involves music? Or perhaps you are just an enthusiast who has always dreamed of playing a musical instrument but didn’t want to spend a lifetime learning? We have a RAV Vast for all of you!
What is the difference between the RAV Vasts?
Okay, you see so many RAV Vasts available for sale in our online store. All our steel drums are tuned in different scales – they have different note layouts, so each of the drums has its voice.
These note layouts are based on the most harmonious scales we picked in musical traditions from all over the world – from ancient Celts in Europe to African Pygmies and Middle-Eastern nations.
How to choose the best RAV for you? Use the filters on the left to select the mood, the music key, and your proficiency level. Or tap the picture with the scale, and you’ll find a detailed description and a video sample.
As mentioned before, RAV Vast is the best tongue drum for beginners. One can start playing it right after unpacking! The instrument doesn’t require extra tuning or music theory knowledge. Just start tapping the notes, and you will get a lovely harmonious melody.
Is there a handpan for beginners? No, handpans are a bit more complicated instrument to deal with. So we advise you to master a steel tongue drum for beginners first, then try a medium-level one and after, you will be ready for a RAV Pan.
What if you are still not sure which drum to take? Listen to your heart! Which scale speaks out to you and resonates with you the most? You can also use our Virtual Player to play each of our drums online and find your favourite sound.
I’ve bought my RAV Vast. What’s next?
A good question, though! What should you do after you buy your RAV Vast? First, start learning to play your RAV drum before it arrives. To practise, go to the Virtual Player page, choose your scale, and play some simple patterns.
When shopping at RAV Vast, you instantly get your RAV profile. Go to the Education section, and you’ll see the lessons grouped according to your mastery level. We added an introductory pre-start lesson where you can learn everything you need to know about your RAV Vast drum. By the time a delivery boy knocks on your door, you will already have a few tips and techniques acquired by your side.
The RAV Vast is very durable and doesn’t require a lot of treatment. Just don’t forget to wipe it with a clean wet cloth and store it in a safe place. Check out more about how to take care of your RAV Vast here.
