www.tomscott.com - "Two Drums and a Cymbal Fall off a Cliff - b'doom, tssh". That's the joke: but does it really give you that rimshot sting you hear in comedy? We investigate.
As an unpaid and untrained lawyer, representing the drums and cymbal, I present to the court evidence that my clients did not fall off a cliff, rather upon close examination, they were thrown off a cliff. We are suing those who threw my clients off.
Objection! The allegation that the prosecutor's clients are inanimate objects are irrelevant. The defendant clearly places the drums and cymbal on a slope near the edge of a cliff which then proceeded to fall off the cliff. I rest my case.
What you see is my client trying to keep the two drums and cymbal from jumping off the cliffing and trying to harm an individual on the ground. What you see is not them being thrown, but my client trying to grab them in the air.
@@TwentyGX I'm impressed with how well the drums held up. I mean, they're designed to be struck, but that's a hell of a drop to be doing almost half a dozen times.
Below a certain percentage of dislikes, like ~10%. You can ignore them. Some people can't read I guess, and didn't know what they were watching. Some people's opinion are basically invalid, and just dislike anything Tom Scott makes. Can't be trusted. Those people are worthless, providing no input.
gredangeo well theirs also those who just thought it was dumb you can’t just make somebody’s opinion invalid that’s the whole point of an opinion I enjoyed the video personally some others may not
In Tom's voice: "My younger self, admittedly, was of the Dungeons and Dragons alignment form "chaotic nyeutral", that meaning I had no spite or reverance, buuuuut I was a little insane."
Tom Scott in 2009: Just goofing around with his young adult friends Tom Scott in 2020: "How to create a deadly weapon that'll destroy the earth and all beings of existence"
As do so many things, this was suggested to me randomly. ("Randomly" yes, algorithm..."randomly.") I'd seen it years ago...& "discovered" the legend that is Tom Scott only fairly recently. We had no idea what was to come. This has entered the hallowed halls of my "classics" playlist.

gotta admit, i was NOT expecting it to actually do the noise.
I think they tried it multiple times
萩原諒太 yep they even screamed "yes!!" When it happened... Btw that's a 2 year old comment wow
Serrot304 FALSE, it's a word
Eick then what am i?
Erick Metthiast It's actually a value.
“10 years ago” carries so much weight
I know, right??
aye
Indeed
1 decade ago
Oh my god
Bring back the pony tail.
Agreed
AGREEEEEE
YES
No, you bring it 😂!
No u
That “and a CLIFF” delivery was so perfect
They made this just to have fun, with no clue how popular they would become.
Well they had already made some stuff that went absolutely popular everywhere in the UK
This video only became popular a year ago too. Only about 2 years ago this was one of the least viewed tom Scott videos
@@raph2954 yes, but they made plenty of other stuff that went viral, not on YT
@@Anankin12 I know, that wasn't my point
@@raph2954 sorry, I thought you were replying to me, not OP
rare footage of Tom Scott wearing a tshirt that isn't red
I didn't even know this was Tom I thought it was some random video
I thought this guy sounded familiar
must be some realy complex vfx and colour correction in this one
these were the gray hoodie times
that was a beta version of tom. stable release is red.

Tom Scott going from throwing drums from a cliff to throwing garlic bread into space is the character arc we didn't know we needed.

That was the most delayed response to a joke I have ever seen.
Just makes it even better.
the drummer searching for the drumsticks lmao
They would have fallen faster if the joke had been better.
**throws 2 drums and a cymbal at ya'**
The gap between the toss and the impact was extended 2 seconds to make the cliff seem taller
Just watched Tom's 10 year goodbye vid and had to come back here.
Matt's cheeky grin and anxious anticipation after the punchline is what sells it for me
Band director: “that sounded...expensive”
brooke Apparently it was a cheap second-hand kid's drum set off like, ebay
It was 99 pence iirc, it was bought as a used child drum kit off ebay.
Buh dum tsst
-money-
It was a second-hand £1 child's drum kit from Ebay
Imagine if that guy got hit in the head and it still made that sound.
That would be the best joke of all time
Ba dum tss
“What’s black and white and red all over? Me! AHHH-“
I'm not sure where this joke is HEADED but ok
Bah dum tshhhh
Got recommended this 12 years later, UA-cam thought I needed to see this, and I did
You mean to tell me, that ALL this time… this iconic piece of UA-cam was a Tom Scott video?! What an amazing not-twist that somehow feels like a twist
That "YES!" Tells a story of how long they've been trying that
true
They've actually said it only took 4-5 tries, surprisingly!

Rare footage of Tom not wearing a red shirt.
He's kind of wearing his grey jumper tho.
.....and Nerdy glasses.
And a freaking ponytail
It is red
Rare footage of tom in a 'lungi'😂
Thank you for the 10 years! You are truly inspiring!
This video is cymbalic
Buum tss
I genuinely forgot it was Tom who made this video. It looks like it was recorded in the 70's with a camera from the 90's.
Hold up... Recorded in the 70's.... Camera from the 90's... Hmmmmm
Are you a time traveller?
Jarrod McKee Tom was looking a bit like John Lennon lmao
Legit 240p is the max resolution
Jarrod McKee me? No. Tom? Maybe.

The fact that it had perfect timing on the “ba-dum-ts” gives me so much joy.

great to watch this after the final video
It's a good day when UA-cam suggests ponytail Tom.
I didn't expect that they'd actually sound like that when they hit the ground.
I expected them to just hit the dude in the head. I hope someone makes an edit of that
Too natural.
You know how many retakes they must’ve done?
@@renaminginprogress6903 Actually 4. The instruments broke on the fourth take.
@@Devlinator61116 how do u kno?
As a drummer, I am now very worried that my job is going to be stolen by a british cliff face.
Automation has gotten out of hand.
Build a wall, so that they can't come and steal your jobs!
Deport the cliffs!
But cliffs are technically like walls o.o
If your job is to make _badoom-tssh_ all day... I really want to have your life. Wait, how much money do make with that?
You know it’s 2009 when they have a slow motion replay in multiple camera angles.
Damn, the algorithm diggin up some old gold right here.
Needs to be remade. Same friend, same cliff, same joke
yes
And same drum set
same video
do it do it do it

And Tom still looks 20 and 40 at the same time
Yes!!
BAHAHAHAAH!!
well hes 37 so you are not right and wrong
@@farzana_shampa I choose not to believe you :)
@@Mjws2907 fair choice
Idk what's cooler:
The fact that they actually did it, or that it made the actual "badum TISSHH" sound
those two are the same thing
Do people really not think about whay they are going to say before they say it
I like how the fact that the cymbal was very slightly late actually made it more epic.
Keep in mind this is the guy that sent garlic bread to the edge of space
Oh my god, really? That would explain a lot.
What a couple of years can do to you
I was wondering why I was already subscribed to this guy
And ate it
and flew a kite in a public place
Why are there dislikes?
You wanted to see two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff and you saw two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff.

I am so happy to have gotten this in my recommended 13 years later.
I've watched this video a couple times already, spread across five or so years. Now it is in my feed again, 14 years and still going strong. 👌
This was the most straightforward and to the point video ever. No ads, just an intro and the ACTION.
Welcome to youtube 11 years ago
I got an add
Good ol days.
I got an ad.
Don't forget the epic replay
I swear , UA-cam is actually just an online time capsule

Yes, if a video is uploaded in a previous year and doesn't get deleted, it will stay that way.
Ok boomer.

Its almost to the 10 year anniversary if you are still alive

But they didn't fall off a cliff, they were thrown...

Coming back to my favorite Tom Scott video ever.
This just randomly showed up and now I have a reason to live again
Got this 10 years after because of recommendation. The rewind was so bad that UA-cam is trying to go back in time.
Best theory ever.
This comment feels rather underrated
It's rewind time

Did you know? This cliff doesn't exist anymore. After this video, it was ashamed, and refused to be a cliff.
'The cliff, it was called, Richard'
Wow... I actually didn't expect this to work.
+KTBMedia It works because physics!
Physics as in if you hit something it vibrates and makes a noise?
Oh my, I am blushing
Because it doesnt, it was edited in
Xavier Santos "Looking Back At Two Drums And A Cymbal, Seven Years Later" is a video you should really watch.
Young Tom Scott was the definition of the term - 'chaotic neutral'
I have never seen a more true statement
I mean. After the pineapple fingerprint thing i agree
zzz
In Tom's voice: "My younger self, admittedly, was of the Dungeons and Dragons alignment form "chaotic nyeutral", that meaning I had no spite or reverance, buuuuut I was a little insane."
Alright, let's all go out, and do as many silly things as we can in the background of different news stories
12 years later and youtube is finally recommending me this
That’s it. Isn’t it. Happy 10 years.
Not sure what’s funnier, these peoples enthusiasm to the cause or the fact that this comedy gold was made 12 years ago
Neither
none
Nun
Well we DID have comedy back then 🤷🏼♂️
The fact that it *worked* is the funniest part.
This proves the theory that every legendary clip is under 1 minute
and the closer to one minute while still being under, the more legendary
Anecdotal evidence - not proof.
