novapans handpans-branding-10

Rhythms! They might seem a bore, especially if you're practising them slowly (as you should be!) but rest assured, with time and discipline, knowing your solid rhythms will bring the most productivity to your playing. It's easier to show you rather than put it in writing, so watch for yourself on how you can become an expert playing rhythms and later, playing all sorts of melodies on the handpan!
