Description
A cheerful sound, an uplifting timbre, and super easy to learn! That’s what makes it the odds-on favourite among both beginners and professional musicians.
The drum produces a soft and cheerful sound with a slight melancholiac feeling. Just like memories about the good old times, the sound of this drum evokes a bittersweet feeling of happiness.
The sound of this drum can remind you of the B Celtic Minor. However, it has its own unique voice. The central bass tongue is tuned in D. The 8 notes are tuned in 3rd and 4th octave.
The drum belongs to Western culture. The D Major scale was commonly used in European classical music and, being a base for violin music, became popular in the Baroque period.
It works perfectly with pretty much any other RAV Vast drum and creates the perfect symphony with the B Celtic. If you are going to jam with other instruments, guitars will be the best addition to the D Major.
Another great thing about the D Major is that you can actually choose between two different moods.
You can create a more melancholic, soothing and nostalgic feel using the bottom note as a root chord, or you can create truly grand, uplifting melodies using the Ding as a key note.
So, play this tune and play it loud! The special steel produces a loud sound and a super long sustain. All the notes sound in harmony when they are played together. Hence, you can vary your play by multiple dyads using the Ding, side note and bottom note, and by triads using the adjacent steel tongues.
For whom this scale will work
For a beginner
The D Major is one of the most popular scales for beginners who are searching for a good pan drum at an affordable price. This scale is easy to learn, works perfectly for intuitive playing, and provides many options for improvisation (while saving some money as well). At the point when you haven’t learnt all the patterns yet (or are making your very first steps in playing a handpan), you can still get a really good melody. The D Major scale is also a great option to start learning to play the tongue drum as the voice of this drum is not too moody or ethnic.
For a pro
A good option of a tongue drum for a professional musician who is searching for a full-sound instrument. This scale is quite versatile and as such leaves room for your music experiments and compositions, especially if you do a lot of collaboration with other musicians. As the D Major is a popular scale used in many music compositions, you’ll easily jump into any music band and be able to uphold the repertoire. It works perfectly with many musical instruments but makes the greatest pair with guitars.
Take a look at the numerous D Major reviews and online video tutorials to find out all the capabilities of this scale.
Interesting facts about D Major music
What if we say that you’ve already heard a lot of music compositions composed in D Major? The D Major is thought to be a “pop” tonality. Queen’s “The Show Must Go On”, The Eagles’ “Hotel California”, and U2’s “With or Without You” were all created using the D Major.
But not only pop composers use this tonality when creating songs.
The D Major is famous for being a monopolist tonality for violins as its D string produces a brilliant sound while resonating with its open strings. This also works for orchestral strings, so there’s no question as to why great composers such as Mozart, Paganini, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven created D Major violin concerts.
The D Major is also known as “the key of glory” as it was chosen by composers in the Baroque period as a key for trumpet concertos. And even after, in the Romantic period, it was used as the final credits of many symphonies (of Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Franck and others).

I have my D major for a week now and Im totally in love! I also have a good quality big steel tongue drum from another manufacturer tuned in 432hz, and rav vast is so sooo much better in every way. Sound is just amazing and sooo clear! There is only one really bad thing - now I'm dreaming about having at least two more scales 😣 By the way, think well before buying, because its super super addictive! 👽
