I am very impressed with the Rav Vast and the company support. Not being musical myself, but having listened to a (musical) friend playing his at a few retreats he and his wife coordinated, I was inspired to buy one for myself. It was an extravagant purchase financially and one I am delighted to have made. Kate was super helpful to me. I am also enjoying the Rav Vast mallets!

Dec 20th UPDATE My ANIMA is becoming real…RIGHT NOW!
As I write this it late october my ANIMA is being created, the team sent me an email to tell me they had started on my Rav. Very excellent and a gracious invatation to be included in creatively intentionality. What a beautiful time to have this cosmic conduit created, as 3IATLAS passes and is in precise alignment with our sun, Gia, and the moon! I am seeding positivism into the rare weave at hand, right now. **UPDATE **its December 20th and the RAV team just contacted me letting me know my drum is almost done! So my drum has been created while 3IAtlas came into our solar system and is now at its very closest to our planet!!! WOW, I have been truly gifted a cosmic companion! The Rav team is a blessing.
My first Rav is the double ding and I have placed a small round pickup on the bottom, then I run the signal through different effects and to a small mixer, then out to a simple older samsung K450 speaker system. I have tried shimmering reverb, Hall Echo, space, rings, varoiuse filters, adsr, delays, layers of effects, the sky is the limit, it sounds other worldly using a zoom MS 70cdr+. Any looper turns you into an entire band. A simple hall echo effect feels huge, and the ability to layer with the harmonics of the Rav ANIMA will be truly captivating. When I was working with Slava and Kate I felt the same way as when I play, at home with family and the friends we keep as Kin.
They understand the assignment, the key to our collective humanity is making sounds, songs, singing and dancing, making and becoming one with all that is, even though our ability to perceive it all is limited, the Rav is a tool for entering into the Vast that is! Rav Vast is a conduit, just touch one and feel it for yourself. I highly recommend any Rav for sound bath healing, meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, Chakra work, and all forms of meditative healing arts.

Great Drum Experience
Yes, Kate and the Rav team followed through. I received my Rav drum in a surprisingly short time. I was feeling a bit skeptical at 1st, online stuff can be a concern. But Kate, Slava and the whole team delivered an excellent instrument to my door. I'm grateful and a truly happy customer ❤️

AMAZING
AMAZING! The rav vast A Integral is magical. Such a lovely, soothing sound. The communication with the company was always smooth and easy. Kate made sure to reply promptly and to help me with every query. If I was rich I’d buy a few more of them in different scales :) Highly recommend!

Instrumento hermoso y cautivador. El sonido es profundo y conmovedor. El servicio es excelente. El único pero ha sido la espera de dos meses y medio por culpa de correos y la aduana española. Kate ha sido muy amable y atenta, y es de agradecer. Elegí la escala B golden arcadia y es fascinante, sin duda una muy buena elección.

Must buy.. so glad that I did.
I did research on many different hand drum manufacturers.
When looking at the Rav website you're able to play them and test each one. Each drum is shown with 2 to 3 videos.
I purchased the B Celtic Double Ding with a bag and edge wrapping. This drum is phenomenal. The sounds are so pure and they resonate.
I had to use customer service for a small issue which was handled way above and beyond what I have ever experienced. Kate was very responsive and understanding.
I'm very ecstatic about using the Rav Vast for the future. Will buy another one soon.
