HANDPAN LESSONS WITH
David Kuckhermann

I have been a fan of David Kuckhermann since well before discovering the handpan. Having been obsessed with tabla, frame drum, riq, and darbuka one of the first videos I found when YouTube was created was David playing frame drum along side Ahmad Al Khatib on the Oud, which was the first time I had ever been exposed to the oud as well.  This was the video that made me a life long fan:

Fast forward 13 years David felt a deep connection with the handpans and I am happy to share that he is offering a wealth of knowledge ranging from Beginner Handpan Lessons to Advanced Level Handpan Techniques!  Here is the list and explanation of each course offered by David.  Here are a couple of trailers:
