Dante Bucci fuses world music and melodic indie rock with his pioneering approach to the Hang drum.

He is a fixture in the Philly indie music scene and one of the most-recognized Hang players in the world, thanks to a constantly-expanding list of subscribers and over 8 million viewers on his YouTube channel.

A relatively new invention, the Hang (pronounced “hung”) is a melodic, inverted steel percussion instrument born in Bern, Switzerland, circa 2000. The Hang looks like a steel drum crossed with a UFO, and has its own distinctive voice that draws comparisons to steel pans, harps, and even synthesizers.
