In the BBC's 'Sherlock,' the quote 'I’m a high-functioning sociopath, do your research' captures the character’s modern edge. To represent Sherlock's high-speed thought process, composers David Arnold and Michael Price used the Hang drum (or handpan). The Hang is a steel instrument consisting of two deep-drawn, nitrided steel sheets glued together at the rim, leaving the inside hollow. It is played with the hands, producing a metallic yet mellow, water-like resonance. Its modern, quirky nature was chosen to contrast with the traditional Victorian settings of the original Holmes legend. The instrument’s use in the score helped popularize the relatively new instrument (invented in 2000) globally, proving that new instruments can help breathe life into century-old movie legends and their most witty, rapid-fire dialogue.
