The G Minor Pentatonic has something similar to the music of koto and shamisen – two traditional Japanese musical instruments. This scale provides a velvety sound, perfect for accompanying meditation or tea ceremony. If you like traditional Chinese or Japanese music, you’ll be hooked by the unique sound of the G Minor Pentatonic.
Its shell made of special steel is thinner (1.5 mm) compared to most of the other RAV Vasts (2 mm). The Ding is tuned in G of the 2nd octave, and the rest of the steel tongues are tuned in the 3rd and 4th octave.
There was a good reason for this scale to be pentatonic. The pentatonic scales are popular in tuning handpans and tongue drums because they are very harmonious. In addition, all the notes of these scales are consonant, which makes the pentatonic scales easy to deal with.
This pentatonic steel drum has no halftones, which makes playing it as easy as one-two-three. It is essential if you’ve recently started learning to play the tongue drum. No note throws you off the entire scale, so there’s no way you can play off the key.
Apart from G Minor, this drum has other scales, including Bb Maj, F, Dm, Eb, Cm. Therefore, it provides you with a bigger room to experiment with note progressions when playing the G Minor Pentatonic RAV drum.
The G Minor Pentatonic has a relative RAV Vast scale – the G Pygmy. The G Pygmy has a similar layout as the G Minor Pentatonic, except the flat 6th “pygmy” note. And this note makes G Pygmy sound darker, while the G Minor has a brighter and sunnier feel.
For whom this scale will work
The G Minor Pentatonic is an excellent steel tongue drum for beginners. This instrument will help you start your musical path – because it’s effortless to play. You will get a harmonious and beautiful melody with any note progression you choose. Just follow your soul.
A note for pros: if you are versed well in handpan and tongue drum scales, and you like the pentatonic minor sound, the G Minor Pentatonic RAV Vast is the steel tongue drum you’ve been looking for online to be available for sale.
If you want to pair it with another RAV Vast, opt for the G Pygmy as these are two relative sales. The G Minor Pentatonic can accompany any musical instrument (including piano, guitar and didgeridoo), so it will be a great tool to join a jam session.
The G Minor Pentatonic was born for improvisation. Improvising with the RAV Vasts is easy, but it becomes bliss with this pentatonic tongue drum as you can instantly get some superb melodies. The Japanese pentatonic scales are an excellent base for improvisation and can be used to play metal, blues and jazz fusion. Many musicians, including guitar players, commonly use this tip.
It’s also a fantastic scale for meditation and sound-healing. Do you wish to obtain the Buddha’s calmness? It’s challenging to slow down your mind and thoughts. This is where the RAV Vast can help. Start from simple, intuitive improvisation every day and get deeper into meditation.
I'm in love with this drum!!! New to steel drums and have very little musical experience, but it's so easy to make music! Very meditative, intuitive, and blissful playing this drum. Rav has done a great job both with the quality of the instrument and it's also so beautifully made. Very satisfied!

I received this awesome tongue drum about a week ago, days ahead of scheduled delivery. Already I know I will play this instrument til the day I die. Through my wife, I learned about the Cajon and started my hand drumming journey there and with a Djembe. Between those, I preferred the Cajon hands down (mainly because of the sound of the wood) however, this Tongue drum gives me so much more joy with the melodies I can play while supporting them with different percussion grooves. It takes a bit to get down the striking technique if you are not accustomed to playing with just single fingers (as opposed to closed hand) but I think that will just open up more doors to my cajon playing. Anyway, the service was incredible, the instrument is insanely well crafted and it is absolutely impossible to go wrong with this scale. Could not be happier! Thank you Rav Vast!

I was choosing between In Sen and G Minor. A hard choice indeed. Both scales have these special Asian vibes that I just love. I am a big fan of traditional Chinese/Japanese music and both these scales can perform it. I did some research prior to buying. Thankfully the RAV online store has a lot of info and music samples, so I finally decided for G Minor with this "hear and feel it resonate in you"-approach and I have no regrets. Though I am thinking to take the In Sen as the next scale, perhaps.

I saw a musician playing the RAV Vast in YouTube’s recommended videos and was so captivated! The sound is LUV! I was a little worried because I had never played this kind of instrument before, but I instantly fell in love with my RAV Vast when it arrived. The drum is very easy to play. I feel like it creates a melody itself and I am just a conductor. The price is higher than of small tank drums I saw around the net, but I was lucky to shop my RAV Vast during the time of big discounts. And the quality is definitely worth every cent! |
Beautiful sound. Thank you so much. Blessings
