song1 = My Hero, Foo Fighters song2 = Song 2, Blur song3 = Shake it off, Taylor Swift song4 = First Date, Blink 182 song5 = Chop Suey, SOAD song6 = Africa, Toto?
I can imagine that leading to a very confusing conversation. "Which was song 2?" "Song 2" "Yes. Which song was it?" "Song 2" "Yes. What is that song?" ...

I'm surprised at how steady this sounds. I would've expected a drum machine made of legos to sound really janky and rickety, but it sounds like a proper drum machine. Good job :)
I am absolutely blown away with not only the engineering ability that went into this, but the musical experience as well. I was in awe throughout this whole build. Well done!!
@@phoenix1045 No, it wouldn't. I saw Frusciante's guitar die in the middle of a concert and guess what, the show went on. Do you really think his supporters wouldn't have understood if a few marbles had been spat out? He is free to do whatever he wants but most, like me, see that he lost sight of what his project was; a cool machine that makes music with marbles. If just making music was his goal then MIDI would have sufficed and could play his music without missing a single note. We never even got to see a demonstation of what MMX could do in video form like the video of his wooden prototype back in the day. He got wrapped up in 'self-help' books, quoting Elon Musk and trying to 'optimise his workflow', ultimately deciding it was better to give up and start a new project rather than accept minor flaws. That is why his latest videos have a miniscule amount of views compared to his older ones. It was a great shame and I'm not alone in thinking that. At some point, good enough has to be good enough, any recording musician knows this otherwise you never finish anything. Live musicians know that better still.
@@CarbonPhysics what's mind blowing about it? it does the job, nothing too fancy. The problem is, we've gotten so used to crappy videos straight from phones, that a basic sound cross fade and speeding up some of the footage seems like a work of genius. anyone of us could make this in an afternoon with some basic software. We've just gotten too lazy to bother.
Not even trying to hate on the guy. It's a nice video. I'm just disappointed whenever I see someone that seems convinced they couldn't do it themselves as well.
1: My Hero - Foo Fighters 2: Song 2 - Blur 3: Shake It Off - Taylor Swift 4: First Date - Blink182 5: Chop Suey - System Of A Down 6: Africa - Toto 7: Umbrella - Rihanna
Obviously this is amazing! Now a challenge: can you alter this to be able to play Guitar Hero? And reach a perfect score on "Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce?? 😃
For me, the quiz was solvable because of the drum sounds he chose, as much as him nailing the pattern. What a video. I’ve always found the term ‘drum machine’ a little weird for a box of electronics. This truly is one!
This is the COOLEST thing I’ve ever seen anybody do with any kind of legos😂😂 your an absolute madman and legend in your craft! Most incredible channel I’ve ever found on UA-cam
Exactly what came to my mind haha. You could link those pads to any midi output, and scale the thing pretty wide to have a bigger range of notes... Lotta possibilities here
First song was My Hero - Foo Fighters, song 2 was… Song 2 - Blur, third was Shake It Off - Taylor Swift, fourth was First Date - Blink-182, then Chop Suey! by SOAD, Africa by Toto lol, then Umbrella by Rihanna I believe.
1. My Hero - Foo Fighters 2. Song 2 - Blur 3. Hey Mickey / Shake It Off - Tswift 4. Rock Show - Blink 182 5. Chop Suey - System of a Down 6. Africa - Toto 7. Umbrella - Rihanna
It’s essentially set up like A music box so to speak, but I enjoyed every song that played on it and I loved the rhythm and the quickness of how all the different drum pieces could play on that thing, and how well orchestratedly it was put together. Not only was it an impressive build to me, but the way you made it play the music in the way that it did, was awesome on top of that.
This guy is a straight up genius, ill argue with anyone who says otherwise. How can you be this smart and creative?...I’m jealous, my energy, patience and attention span would instantly crap out on me if I tried anything even 1% as complex as this, some people just got given a good brain, and I’m very jealous.
Holy shit. This is the most impressive Lego build I’ve ever seen. Not only does it confirm that Is possible to build a functional piano out of Lego but also a literal hand made MIDI file!!!!! This is absolutely incredible
Have you ever seen those mobile fairground/carnival organs? The ones that play the drums, wind instruments, and percussion? Those are pretty amazing too, and they work on a similar principle, but use rolls of paper with cutouts in place of the lego belt and pins this creation uses. Funny thing is - that's exactly how computers used to be programmed - a set of cards with holes hand-punched into them to act as the 1s and 0s of the program.
Wintergatan creator must be angry on some level seeing this. Great creation! You've inspired me to create miniature effects using Lego Technics for moving elements.
I was looking for a comment like that :D In all fairness.... Mr. Brick Technology here might be able to build a MML faster than Martin finishes designing his MM3. 👀
@@dazley8021 If he hadn't decided to screw making version 2 and just move straight into 3 bc his unfinished project wasn't "perfect engineering," maybe he'd be done by now.
idk why but your videos are just amazing to me, i like how you find the mistakes in the creation and your not like “i will improve it later” and forget it, your like “ill improve it now!”
I love how at the end it just looks like something straight out of Animusic, something I never would've been able to make with my Legos lol. Great work!
4:09 1. My hero - foo fighters 2. Song 2 - Blur 3.Shake it up - i don't remember the artist. 4. 5. Chop suey - System of a Down 6. Africa - Toto 7. If i am wrong, correct me :)
I'm just amazed by how well it actually works. I didn't have my doubts, but just looking at the thumbnail I couldn't fathom it playing anything any more complex than "twinkle twinkle little star." Bravo!
1: My Hero - Foo Fighters 2: Song 2 - Blur 5: Chop Suey - System of a Down 6: Africa - Toto You got me stumped with 4 and 7. I'm pretty sure I recognize the artist responsible for 3 (The Offspring), but as for the song, I'm torn between two.
Definitely has the same spark of imagination as Martin from Wintergatan and his marble machine. Especially the programmable drum wheel. Overall loved it.
I also thought about MMX. Made me sad how he just ended up giving up really trying after so long. Martin got way too focused on margins of error and engineering that he forgot about the art. One of the biggest disappointments imo.
That's incredibly impressive --- both the presentation and that you actually thought of it, built it, sync'd it and edited I suddenly feel like my day has been uneventful lol
I can only guess that 7 is Umbrella ela ela ela..... Nice idea, you could build similar project but make it pianoroll instead of sequencer and play some melodies on synthesizer along with the drums.
song 1: my hero by the foo fighters song 2: song 2 by blur (nice one HAHAHA) song 3: shake it off by taylor swift song 4: rock show by blink-182 song 5: chop suey by SOAD song 6: africa by TOTO song 7: i cant guess this one LOL
I have two cats. When they get into things they shouldn't, I tend to snap at them to get their attention. At 5:47 I instinctively snapped at the screen. Looks like I've made my own Pavlovian response!
this is really cool. they really have added a lot of neat parts to the technics line since i was a kid (most of my [still sorted, lol] lego collection is circa late 80's and 90's; just before first mindstorms came out). it also makes me really happy to see that because for a long time in the 2000s-2010s i remember being saddened at the increase of highly set-specific parts in kits (instead of creative use of generic parts). i think the last technics set i ever purchased was the 8880 (which was amazing). might be time to modernize my collection!
Your videos are always so creative and interesting! it looks like you have made it work flawlessly, also the transitions in this video are great! good job

@@phoenix1045 No, it wouldn't. I saw Frusciante's guitar die in the middle of a concert and guess what, the show went on. Do you really think his supporters wouldn't have understood if a few marbles had been spat out?
He is free to do whatever he wants but most, like me, see that he lost sight of what his project was; a cool machine that makes music with marbles. If just making music was his goal then MIDI would have sufficed and could play his music without missing a single note. We never even got to see a demonstation of what MMX could do in video form like the video of his wooden prototype back in the day.
He got wrapped up in 'self-help' books, quoting Elon Musk and trying to 'optimise his workflow', ultimately deciding it was better to give up and start a new project rather than accept minor flaws. That is why his latest videos have a miniscule amount of views compared to his older ones.
It was a great shame and I'm not alone in thinking that. At some point, good enough has to be good enough, any recording musician knows this otherwise you never finish anything. Live musicians know that better still.
i love the 1/8 note belt spacing with the gray on beat 1.. super easy to program.
This is amazing man. The design, construction, integration, and performance are just amazing.
As an electrical engineer and a person who had legos in the 1970s and 1980s as a kid this is awesome! Amazing design and execution. I love it!
Just when you think that this guy wouldn’t be able to come up with anything better than the previous video. Love it
The editing talent that goes into these videos is mind blowing.
Time for him to make a Lego video editing machine
Mind blowing? Really?
@@user-og6hl6lv7p Let's see your Lego videos, then
@@CarbonPhysics what's mind blowing about it? it does the job, nothing too fancy. The problem is, we've gotten so used to crappy videos straight from phones, that a basic sound cross fade and speeding up some of the footage seems like a work of genius.
anyone of us could make this in an afternoon with some basic software.
We've just gotten too lazy to bother.
Not even trying to hate on the guy. It's a nice video. I'm just disappointed whenever I see someone that seems convinced they couldn't do it themselves as well.
As a drummer, this is freaking amazing. Keep up the awesome work!
@@Adisimion3953 bahaha what a weird take
@@Adisimion3953 what are you getting upset in the comments for
how does it feel to be replaced by lego
@@j4ked what did he say? his reply got deleted
As a drummer, I think this beats every other drummer on the planet cuz it's just quantized down to every single beat.
1: My Hero - Foo Fighters
2: Song 2 - Blur
3: Shake It Off - Taylor Swift
4: First Date - Blink182
5: Chop Suey - System Of A Down
6: Africa - Toto
7: Umbrella - Rihanna
Well done
I guessed 2, 3 and 6 right, but not familiar with the rest except Umbrella
I got all of them except 3 and 7
3 is Outkast, Hey Ya!
@@jumpthefence7823 no, it's near, but listen to the clap and the ticks, they're not those of hey ya, but of Taylor Swift.
As a drummer, I am amazed by this, and ashamed that I couldnt find all the drum parts
I LOVE the part at 5:47!
"Make sure cat does not eat lego!" was hilarious!
Obviously this is amazing!
Now a challenge: can you alter this to be able to play Guitar Hero? And reach a perfect score on "Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce?? 😃
The belt would have to be sooo long 😱
It would be amazing to see that thing play that!
I was thinking the perfect thing to do would be to set this up to play drums on LEGO Rock Band.
Please try this!!! Even if not the whole song, cause this would be absurdly awesome!!!
@@dinhtuan752 200,000 tracks ready with a million more well on the way.

@@joshuakorynta3385 everyone who makes custom electronics for their (absolutely insane) Lego creations: Are we a joke to you?
For me, the quiz was solvable because of the drum sounds he chose, as much as him nailing the pattern.
What a video.
I’ve always found the term ‘drum machine’ a little weird for a box of electronics. This truly is one!
I felt that the first one was off a Halo soundtrack. It just had that vibe.
@@Lilithksheh7723 There goes my Hero by the Foo Fighters, but I totally hear something off of the Halo 2 soundtrack, I think on Delta Halo.

Is Song 2 "Blur - Song 2"?
@@jonas_security_kolinski That’s what I think it is. I bet he had a smirk on his face when he wrote the ‘Song 2’ caption 😂
This is great, it's really smooth aswell. Well done, there's also a great story line. Keep up the good work.
Everything about this video is on point: montage, execution, engineering and the idea itself. Very impressive.
Also song choices!

"I have an analogue sequencer."

you’ve gotten more insane lately, that’s good.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This would be easy to make into a player piano. Time for some Wintergatan Marble Machine.
Exactly what came to my mind haha. You could link those pads to any midi output, and scale the thing pretty wide to have a bigger range of notes... Lotta possibilities here
Just need to somehow turn it into a LEGO Great Ball Contraption, as well…
so... a music box? lol
pipe dream
First song was My Hero - Foo Fighters, song 2 was… Song 2 - Blur, third was Shake It Off - Taylor Swift, fourth was First Date - Blink-182, then Chop Suey! by SOAD, Africa by Toto lol, then Umbrella by Rihanna I believe.
Overkill by Motörhead would've been a great 8th song to do
Correction: Song 3 was "Nothing in my brain" by Trailer Sniff.
1. My Hero - Foo Fighters
2. Song 2 - Blur
3. Hey Mickey / Shake It Off - Tswift
4. Rock Show - Blink 182
5. Chop Suey - System of a Down
6. Africa - Toto
7. Umbrella - Rihanna
It’s essentially set up like A music box so to speak, but I enjoyed every song that played on it and I loved the rhythm and the quickness of how all the different drum pieces could play on that thing, and how well orchestratedly it was put together.
Not only was it an impressive build to me, but the way you made it play the music in the way that it did, was awesome on top of that.
As a drummer and a lover of all things Lego, this was absolutely awesome and well worth it! Congrats on this!
As a.

This guy is a straight up genius, ill argue with anyone who says otherwise. How can you be this smart and creative?...I’m jealous, my energy, patience and attention span would instantly crap out on me if I tried anything even 1% as complex as this, some people just got given a good brain, and I’m very jealous.
Holy shit. This is the most impressive Lego build I’ve ever seen. Not only does it confirm that Is possible to build a functional piano out of Lego but also a literal hand made MIDI file!!!!! This is absolutely incredible
Have you ever seen those mobile fairground/carnival organs? The ones that play the drums, wind instruments, and percussion? Those are pretty amazing too, and they work on a similar principle, but use rolls of paper with cutouts in place of the lego belt and pins this creation uses. Funny thing is - that's exactly how computers used to be programmed - a set of cards with holes hand-punched into them to act as the 1s and 0s of the program.
I grabbed my bass and started jamming when you got My Hero going.
Wintergatan creator must be angry on some level seeing this. Great creation! You've inspired me to create miniature effects using Lego Technics for moving elements.
I was looking for a comment like that :D
In all fairness.... Mr. Brick Technology here might be able to build a MML faster than Martin finishes designing his MM3. 👀
@@dazley8021 If he hadn't decided to screw making version 2 and just move straight into 3 bc his unfinished project wasn't "perfect engineering," maybe he'd be done by now.
Nah bro he’s from Sweden, we’re super chill
@Superkrypet Your streamers tell me otherwise
@@oldbot64 alright it was a joke, don’t take it too far
On top of the amazing design, it’s also a visual representation of the music notes 🎵
3:05 man i love that transition from build sound to actual drum sounds!
3:43 Ahaha that "Take this Lars Ulrich!" really cracked me up! 🤣
3:43 was hillarious
Made me literally laugh out loud 😂
Yeah
3:43 always made me laugh
lars is mad because legos can play cleaner than him
6:02 Even with no sound you can recognize My Hero song...simply amazing
idk why but your videos are just amazing to me, i like how you find the mistakes in the creation and your not like “i will improve it later” and forget it, your like “ill improve it now!”
Cool, now make it play Rush E.
Song 2 was a great touch!
Yeah literally called song 2
I love how at the end it just looks like something straight out of Animusic, something I never would've been able to make with my Legos lol. Great work!
My thoughts exactly
I think I love you. As a drummer and gadget man, I really appreciate the effort and skill that went into that.
The LEGO cat at 3:50 is so well crafted it almost looks real
4:09
1. My hero - foo fighters
2. Song 2 - Blur
3.Shake it up - i don't remember the artist.
4.
5. Chop suey - System of a Down
6. Africa - Toto
7.
If i am wrong, correct me :)
your not wrong
4 is first date - blink 182
first date
I thought 1 was sugar were going down by fallout boy
Umbrella is the last
I'm just amazed by how well it actually works.
I didn't have my doubts, but just looking at the thumbnail I couldn't fathom it playing anything any more complex than "twinkle twinkle little star."
Bravo!
the programming system is identical to the Marble Machine's programming system and i love that.
1: My Hero - Foo Fighters
2: Song 2 - Blur
5: Chop Suey - System of a Down
6: Africa - Toto
You got me stumped with 4 and 7. I'm pretty sure I recognize the artist responsible for 3 (The Offspring), but as for the song, I'm torn between two.
Pretty sure 4 is rock show - blink182
Everything I love about life in one video.
Drums. Lego. Soldering. Animation. MIDI.
The belt reminds me of a midi board. Pretty cool. Works pretty much the same way.
Like a Pattern rack too !
Amazing
woah
IT'S THE GUY WHO DOES THE THING!!!!
I CAN SING AND PLAY THE GITUAR Nah but really love your stuff just don’t be pitchy
Woah. Hey nerd lmao love your content btw
I started laughing and crying once I realized you made an analog MIDI controller using Lego pegs for for the beats. Bloody brilliant.
Also; my hero by foo fighters, song 2 by blur, happy by Pharrell Williams (I couldn't think of the next two), Africa by toto, and Umbrella by Rhianna.
Whole idea, execution and videography was amazing. What really earned my like though was Song 2 being Song 2.
Amazing, love the programming belt @wintergatan and I’m impressed with how tight the timing is - it stays on the beat.
4:42 "I Stay out too Late!" 🎤
Got nothing in my brain
Definitely has the same spark of imagination as Martin from Wintergatan and his marble machine. Especially the programmable drum wheel. Overall loved it.
my mind instantly went to MMX. Need to get Martin to see this.
@@acethebunny I think I'm on ep 70 or 80. I need to catch up
@@MugenSpammer I’m waaaaay behind. Like more than a year behind.
I also thought about MMX. Made me sad how he just ended up giving up really trying after so long. Martin got way too focused on margins of error and engineering that he forgot about the art. One of the biggest disappointments imo.
Glad to see I’m not the only Wintergatan fan around! 😂
That's incredibly impressive --- both the presentation and that you actually thought of it, built it, sync'd it and edited
I suddenly feel like my day has been uneventful lol
I can only guess that 7 is Umbrella ela ela ela..... Nice idea, you could build similar project but make it pianoroll instead of sequencer and play some melodies on synthesizer along with the drums.
Salmonella ella ella ella ella e e e
Song 1 - My hero, Foo fighters, but it's not exactly the same so I'm not sure...
Song 2 - Blur - Woo hoo
song 1: my hero by the foo fighters
song 2: song 2 by blur (nice one HAHAHA)
song 3: shake it off by taylor swift
song 4: rock show by blink-182
song 5: chop suey by SOAD
song 6: africa by TOTO
song 7: i cant guess this one LOL
7 is umbrella
3 sounds like hey ya
song 7: Rihanna - Umbrella
I guess all the same as your, expect Africa and the 7th should be Umbrella
Umbrella?
I have two cats. When they get into things they shouldn't, I tend to snap at them to get their attention. At 5:47 I instinctively snapped at the screen. Looks like I've made my own Pavlovian response!
Not really playing a drum but activating a synteticer but still Amazing
This would be quite a good way of showing how MIDI works in a practical way - Nicely done!
Doesn’t midi typically include time periods?
@@sonderistic7664 ah yeah for all the sustain you get from a drum kit
Don't get me started on drum CHORDS!! 🤘
"TAKE THIS LARS" Got a chuckle out of me
4:15 "THERE GOES MY HERO!"
"WATCH HIM AS HE GOES"
This is so freaking cool. You could write a program to convert a sheet music into the positions for the tabs for easily programming the drum!
This dude's an engineer, video maker and now a musician! What's next?

The clips and sounds editing are astonishing ! Amazing job, thanks for the sharing 😊
This is literally how a music box works. Great design and presenting the iteration process
This is similar to how The Marble Machine works. Great stuff!
Great design! I especially like the idea of putting metal springs onto the two 8-axles
Fun _and_ fascinating. You nailed all the elements of a great video from idea to execution. Great work!
this is really cool. they really have added a lot of neat parts to the technics line since i was a kid (most of my [still sorted, lol] lego collection is circa late 80's and 90's; just before first mindstorms came out). it also makes me really happy to see that because for a long time in the 2000s-2010s i remember being saddened at the increase of highly set-specific parts in kits (instead of creative use of generic parts). i think the last technics set i ever purchased was the 8880 (which was amazing). might be time to modernize my collection!
From the rhythm of clicks alone and not even thinking, song 2 was already playing in my head.
Your videos are always so creative and interesting! it looks like you have made it work flawlessly, also the transitions in this video are great! good job
