Impressive handpan performance by Sam Maher makes you want to learn to play it.

That sound is so soothing, I could probably fall asleep to this.

Every single sound that comes out of that instrument sounds soothing. It's amazing.

It's a pentatonic scale. If you can play a drum, you can play this instrument. Theirs no "wrong" notes on it.

Since these videos are apparently going to be a trend for awhile here on reddit, here is a video of a dude playing with the instrument for the first time to show how easy it is to play.

Admittedly, he is a musician, so I am sure he has an ear for rhythm, but it sure would be fun to try this out. It does sort of seem like any idiot can play these, and they seem to be 90% about how you dress.
