A fantastic instrument used a handful of times in some amazing drum circles and jam sessions at festivals in 2017. 
I have recorded several samples from this instrument and am now ready to release it back into the wild for someone else to enjoy it! I hope it brings you hours of entertainment and fun, this is the perfect item to take to Festivals as it comes with a carry bag. ENJOY!

The chromatic Spacedrum© is, until now, the only instrument from the Handpan (Hang©) family recently created to propose a complete chromatic scale!

AVAILABILITY: Around 4/6 months.

The chromatic Spacedrum© is, until now, the only instrument from the Hang©, Hapi Drum©, Garrahand© family recently created to propose a complete chromatic scale! 

Bigger than the diatonic and pentatonic models, it has 13 notes which really open new horizons to the musicians. It's no more necessary to buy several instruments to build a chromatic scale!
This model can be put on a stand or on your laps despite it's a bit larger than its little brothers.
The chromatic scale induce a new notes layout on the top (with four notes) which requires a little mental gymnastic to control the instrument.

Thanks to a long research & development work in partnership with an engineering high school we’re happy to release the 4th generation Spacedrum, made out of a special stainless alloy. The properties of this special alloy are particularly adapted for the outdoor playing: totally rustproof, even in the extrem climates (see shores, tropics...), hard enough to keep the tuning for years (in normal conditions of use). Added to that, the Spacedrum Evolution (4th gen) develops more sustain and more sound volume while respecting the Spacedrum original sound.

This instrument is fragile and needs to be protected when it's not played. Our bags are specially designed for a good protection of the Spacedrum.

With the chromatic Spacedrum you can explore all the harmonic possibilities of any kind of music!
The chromatic scale is: C4 C#4 D4 Eb4 E4 F4 F#4 G4 G#4 A4 Bb4 B4 C5

Some company contacted me with this message asking me to "remove the name HAPI from this listing"


From: hapidrum
Please remove our name HAPI from your listing. Discontinue using our name. It is not a generic term for a steel drum. It is the name we created for our line of HAPI Drums and is a registered trademark. Let us know when you have done this so we do not report this trademark infringement to eBay. If we do not hear back from you within 24 hours we will have no choice but to report your listing to eBay. Thanks for your understanding.

I can not edit a listing after an auction has started.

I have no intention to mislead anyone, I am using the EXACT DESCRIPTION from this page
https://metalsounds-shop.com/en/home/56-spacedrum-evolution-13-notes-chromatic-bag-60-cm.html
Which is where I bought the drum.

So, in case anyone is "confused" by the information on this page please make sure to be aware this is not a HAPI brand item, its a SPACEDRUM as indicated in the title.
