    I was only briefly in a band and I gotta say, unless you were playing something like Coldplay, it was often 2-3 notes being pressed continously. I should have learned the keyboard instead

      I picked up playing the handpan in the last year, and I go mad having to hit the same pattern over and over again. Fortunately, I usually play in drum circles where improvising in ways that work with the group is generally a good thing.

      Also, I find Coldplay songs are better when someone other than Coldplay is playing them.

        Fellow handpan player!

        I gotta play with others more. I’ve managed it exactly one time so far and it was great fun

        I remember a hoobastank song that was literally one note I kept pressing at a regular interval that barely changed the entire song. Didnt feel like I was playing anything lol

      Coldplay pauses concert for Charlie Kirk, asks fans to ‘send love’ to activist’s family

      Yeah well… I hope no one plays them any more.

      Edit: I take it back. They seem to be staunchly pro Palestine and anti-genocide. Maybe it’s just their altruism and the uninformed opinion of the individual that lead to that moment.

        Yeah, that was taken out of context a lot. They said that in a plea to send love to everyone, even people you don’t agree with. And also, it was about sending love to his family, certainly not commemorating the guy and what he represented.

        Tbf, it was back during the time of their first album. I liked them until the second one, third I was mild, completely stopped listening after
