I filmed this family of black bears earlier this year at Cades Cove in the Tennessee section of the Great Smoky Mountains. Cades Cove is an isolated valley where early settlers once lived.

I recorded the music using a Rav Vast tongue drum tuned to the B Rus scale. To play as a duet I recorded the left channel first and then overdubbed the right channel. The piece is appropriately titled "Cades Cove".

I purchased the drum online from Germany. I love these drums. Check them out here: https://www.rav-vast.de/en/.
