don't pick a fight with a percussionist. we hit things for fun.
Chris R TRUTH 😂
This needs more likes
Underrated comment ahhahahahahaha
I cant like this because i want it to stay in 666 likes
@@yagoosrighthand731 holy shit you're right
Eddy is literally any high school wind player when the music director leaves the room
Duuude we have a SAX player that always hangs out in the percussion area during lunch and plays the set
You described our band to a prime
it's so much fun!
Lol so true it’s always the trombones and trumpets in my band
Relatable
Beethoven on his T-shirt is probably like..

This is original comedy. Good job

troll level - infinite
Why Brett should hoard all the ridiculousness only for himself!!?!??
OMG IM HAPPY I UNDERSTAND THIS JFJDUAJBXLSKA
All I can think of is: "Man, how expensive is it to be a percussionist?"
Oh you don’t want to know
Very expensive! You really try to watch for music stores that are going out of business because they always have great sales on percussion equipment.
A set of timpani, you can buy an entry level car. Don't forgot about the mallets. As I know, instruments that a percussionist usually own are tambourine, snare, xylophone or marimba, depends on their main. Usually they own a lot of mallets and drumsticks, compare to instruments
I have a cheap xylophone at home, a snare and a drum kit. I would l i v e to have a marimba but this shit is *crazy* expensive and HUGE
Ameli a Good ones are like $15,000+
I love how eddy is scared of hitting anything hard😂
He knows he was just going toake a noise. Trying to avoid to hurt the sensei's ears 😂
Lol 😂
The only hard thing that he's not afraid of hitting is a ViOlA
I love eddy
thats because he is used to playing violin where if you hit it too hard then it turns into a viola and every string changes its pitch down a 5th. And legend has it that some did this to a viola and now it has not only a C string but also an F string.
the pro dude is enjoying himself haha
Us percussionists like to see people suffer when they try to play our instruments after saying we are invalid and that anyone can do what we do. We enjoy their agony and humiliation.
@@concussedpercussionist2921 Exactly.
Andromeda Lance mhm
@@concussedpercussionist2921 I can say happily as a flute that I do the same thing when people tell me it's not hard to hit notes that high "your instrument was made to do that" WELL MY MOUTH WASN'T.
It's very pleasant watching them go down in flames
@@sanstypeface4161 I've recently picked up the Saxophone and I can also so that that thing is no joke. I'm having trouble not making my notes sound an octave higher than they're supposed to be (this is the alto Sax if you want to know).
I'm a percussionist and I don't know what I was expecting... But I'm happy that people finally understand that no, I don't just hit things. There's rhythm, dynamics, and a lot of technique involved. And percussion in marching band is also hard.
Your boi the lead snare drummer!!!
@Nick does Quad drumming we call them tenors in my neck of the woods
Dude you know that watchmojo has put so many percussion instruments on the easiest instrument list and just said that it's hard but it's easier to learn the mechanics
I don't just hit things😂😂😂
I don't understand how anyone thinks percussion is "just hitting things". Anyone who has slapped their leg or steering wheel to a beat knows you can get more than one sound from hitting a surface differently.
When eddy was trying to quite down the instrument when it wasn’t even playing loudly had me rolling 😂😂
The profesional should be paid extra for not bursting out laughing (bcs ik I would’ve).
He had also previously played a timpanum on the other side and still quieted it down, haha
The percussionist looks so nice and supportive ^^
Thanks, I try 😂😂
a
Severus Snape sir, what are you doing on youtube?
@@bmpercussion you look like matt Murdock aka Daredevil.
They are the nicest members of the orchestra. I haven't met a percussionist who isn't positive, nice and ready to help. They are the best people to write music for 🙂
The professional looks like he's encouraging Eddy but he's actually thinking : 'Why did I agree to this?'
He also looks almost exactly like the violin teacher I had... Similar expressions too 😂😂
He looks like he’s saying “good job” while trying not to laugh
@@Alkarston I know haha
@@H.E.L.E.N.A. Really? My piano teacher hates me too bro
I'm actually in love with him, don't know why... Percussionists are the best!
When percussionist play the cymbal
Nobody:
Eddy: Lion dance
Hehe us asians get it XD
Lion dance noises
Lmao i literally danced with him
Bro I busted out laughing when I realized what he was doing
I'm not Asian
Lol only asians get this
I love the sheer joy on the percussionists face as he gets to play songs that show off each particular instrument.
Also, his completely genuine face of "Good effort" as Eddy plays. What a kind hearted man.
Ikr that’s what I’m saying
Brent is a great teacher ❤
Brent Miller looks at Eddy like a proud father looking at a disappointing son from another family.
So many joke about being able to play the triangle but not much are actually able to play the triangle.
I don't think anybody really knows. I have been told by four different people to do it four different ways, and the thing is it sounded the same all four ways.
Levi Marshall You but different parts depending on the song and the part of the song. It also sounds very different, if you have the ear or when you’re in the audience.
@@sporadicspork6314 That makes a lot of sense actually. I just don't have a very musical ear in the first place. I am really working on developing it though.
Plastic tie wrap is good for your triangle. Now practise hitting it in different parts of the triangle slowly, to really hear the difference between hitting it on the side and then hitting it inside the bottom, as well as right at the top, near the tie wrap. All of these sounds are different. Try it too at different dynamics PP, P , mf , f and ff (literally banging the hell out of it) in different parts of the triangle. Another hint for really accurate fast triangle playing - abandon the "proper" beater and find a fine screwdriver that has a good weight and feeling on the wrist and use that instead.Who knew there was so much to triangle playing? LingLing
Levi Marshall I wish you the best of luck in that! I’m sure you’ll be able to do it.
Beginner page turner vs professional page turner
Petition to Twoset to make this happen
I just LOLed way too hard reading this. That's not an instrument, but I think they've already done this enough to do it well. But maybe they forgot how to turn pages? Lol
PLEASE. I NEED THIS EP 🙌🙌🙌🙌
“Cue Death Note music”
Is there such a thing of a pro page turner? From what I heard they’re all bad at their jobs
professional: plays at f / follows dynamics
Eddie: plays everything at P
Not in Bolero though lol
Me: The only instrument I can play is the trian-
No, wait, nevermind.
Mood
wait percussionists can play all those instruments?!?! i have mad respect for yalls
Thanks. And yeah, we have to, this isn't even all the insturments we play. But these are some of the most prominent ones in orchestral percussion, and marimba is one of our most common solo instruments. But there's also vibraphone, castanets, temple blocks, tuned chinese gongs, gran cassa, bongos, congas, chimes, and more (also you should play drum kit, even as a classical player as it is often needed). We're also required to be decent on piano, because piano is sometimes included in the percussion parts. Often we'll have to learn to play new things or percussion instruments for a specific piece as you'll mostly only be taught how to play the instruments shown in the video + vibraphone and drum kit.
exo-st
And sometimes we throw in really cool weird percussion instruments like the ocean drum or whirlytubes.
MariaakaAnnie - Cosplay woah. Respect, you guys deserve way more credit than you get.
*COUGH* marching percussion *COUGH*
@@sp0inkzter
At my school we have to do marching and concert.
So I played the triangle for the first time the other day. It kept spinning in circles and it eventually fell off the rope.
stew I know what that feels like. 😂
I've never used one on a pole and rope. I've always held it at the top from a specifically shaped piece of plastic.
Andromeda Lance same
Oh so tringle really is hard
Oof
In case someone didn’t get it, in the Bolero by Ravel, the snare drum is playing the same pattern but is doing the crescendo through out the whole piece. That’s why they show the “5min later”. It is actually really hard to control the dynamic.
Why explaining it in morse code man..still hard to get what's going on there
@@brightlight3750 it just means that the pattern is same but the sound is gradually getting louder for the span of 5 mins, which is very hard to control
Ravel’s Bolero is essentially torture for a snare drummer. Unironically it’s one of the most difficult pieces in the snare repertoire.
@@brightlight3750 basically, the snare drummer plays what's shown in the video for 15 minutes gradually getting louder
Not that I didnt appreciate how good the snare sounds in Bolero but when you actually stop to consider they have to gradually increase the volumen over 10 minutes it hits you how impressive of a feat that is.
Percussion is SO easy, all you do is hit stuff.”
Says everyone
same thing with pianists, they say that:
"It's just pressing buttons, it's easy"
stellar yeah
“Oh yeah conducting is easy , it’s just moving hands” said by the Non-musicians community
@@stellarphantasmvfx5504 “buttons” *ARRGGGHHHHH*
Same with violin, it's just a stick and 4 strings
Didn’t know Quentin Tarantino was a percussionist
I had the exact same tought
Waaay off. And those that agree is no different.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
He's way better looking than Q.T.
LMAO
i love how eddy stares at the music sheet as if he knows exactly what he’s doing😭😂
I’m assuming he knows and can read sheet music. He can play after all
@@TheSweetheart0822 Percussion music is different from normal sheet music.
Eric Y it may be different for everyone but I was in Band for 6 years and in our class we were taught to read all types of music. We had our own instruments but we still learned different instruments hence being able to read and play other sheet music apart from our own.
@@TheSweetheart0822 I can read treble, bass, and alto clefs but only because I play piano and viola. I've never read any transposed or percussion music.
Eric Y it’s different for everyone, I don’t mean any offense by it, I played Piano, Clarinet, Sax, Bass, Cello, back throughout junior and high school. We did a lot of switching instruments so we had to learn to read others sheet music. But to be fair I haven’t looked at a sheet music in over 3 years after high school.
I remember attending an orchestra performance and I found that it was the percussionists that captured my attention. The way that they were able to quickly switch between so many instruments and play so well was mesmerising to me
thanks
We go for running marathons doing it😂
3:10
Other people: why's he covering his ears and moving weirdly?
Me, and Asian: omg he's doing the lion dance xddd
holy crack he was
Oooooh your right he was!!!!
Ikr
Yes
When he even stuck his head higher like when they do the lifts, I lived and died
that moment when you are a pianist but is forced to become a percussionist when your band doesn't need a piano part
:(
Happens every time
that was my first taste of percussion too, but now i actually am a percussionist, so heck yeah
im not a pianist but I've seen this happen to my school band members
@@sssushang
What instrument do you play? I play the c l a r i n e t
*Ling Ling can play all of these at once*
While doing taxes
I dont wan to like your comment because it is 666
@Camillo See he will do that along with all other things mentioned
Ling Ling is a modern musical pit musician?
Patrick Murray NONONO
As the drum and the cymbal started playing by the professional
Eddy: *starts lion dance*
Hua Cheng 😍🔥
After seeing this, I think people will finally understand how hard percussion is. First of all there is two and four mallet playing. With snare drum you have to know at least 30 different rudiments. Finally, you have to know the correct technique for each auxiliary instrument.
Fellow percussionist here
@@riley9107:)
Ayyyy percussion clubbbb!!!
No, it’s not. It’s just hitting things. Percussion is just artistic hacks. Any percussionist can go and learn a REAL instrument, like the kazoo.
3:26
The Chinese lion dance I see in festivals lol
JakulaithWolff HAHAAHHA
He was like its going to be noisy better cover my ears oh its a good time to practice my lion dance better use the opportunity
@@jjd680 I was going to say the same thing😂😂😂
It isss
LMFAO
At 3:10 I can’t tell if Eddy is trying to cover his ears because he’s scared of how loud the cymbals are going to be, or he’s trying to do the lion dance XD
Pretty sure he doing the lion dance xdd
Was looking for this comment 😂
@@ririko2210 lol me too!!
Definitely the lion dance lmao
5 4
"That's why marimba is one of the easiest instruments"
Dumbmojo 2020
Those guys clearly have never played it.
Kkkkk I'm from one of countries where the marimba originates (in fact it's name is in my language) and I can tell you, there's a big difference between beginner playing and professional.
I do actually play another trad instrument, but I can't play marimba to save my life. 😂😂
Jeez, they have never played that
oh no, no, no, no! it's the xylophone!
@@Kettie5 I sware, the next generation of dumb mojo is gonna call an organ a piano.
Omg, i swear Tcahikosvky's Symphony No 4 's ryhthm sounds exactly like the notes we hear every chinese new year
The percussionist seemed like a cool, layed back guy.. but when he grabbed the triangle at the end i think he was really glad to just make it all stop! 😂
It was about time! He was doing it frequently during his performance, but Eddy didn't do it even once. It sounded like playing the piano with the "echo pedal" stepped down from beginning to end! 😵
One of those "Oh God, please make it stop." Moments.
I broke a wrist in the middle of a school year and so my percussion instructor made me do the rest of the year focusing on triangle. When it comes to triangle, regardless of the situation, we're glad to make it stop hahaha
Shelby Fries layed
Just based on his facial expressions, including smirking and slight frowns of disapproval, he's seems the exact opposite--condescending and passive-aggressive.
I just realized I probably wouldn't even be able to play the triangle right.
it takes a very seasoned percussionist to even know how to play a triangle right, much less playing it right.
No chance without studying thw Instrument for yrs
Like Eddy didn't even stop the sustain...
And the professional player even knows how to detune...
Bryan351018 the sustain was probably intentional, previously the professional was already doing that, so it would make sense if he did.
The fact that people don't realize we play so many instruments makes me sad. Recently some girls talked to me about about how easy we have with our exams cause we play only rythm and i was like *bitch excuse me* i had to play 5 different pieces on different instruments for this exam
Yep. While I find that individual percussion auditions/exams can be easier in general, since we don’t have to worry about things like squeaking, we still have MULTIPLE. There’ll be at LEAST two, for a keyboard and snare, but it’s probably gonna be more.
Okay for I had to play this difficult piece for our exam and like my friends told me yours is easy even tho the sticking is weird and how fast I to play it at like some people tell us (pit mostly has the marimbas and bass) that we aren’t need in marching but like we help keep tempo and we are the melody
@@-runa-7064 that got me mad, they really said pit was unnecessary? The disrespect and stupidity in that statement.
Percussionists are not real musicians. Kazooists, on the other hand, are.
Ah, percussion - the “hold my beer” instrument family.
Oh my gosh this is so beyond perfect hahahaha 👌
Put some R E S P E C C on percussionists. They be epic.
Izzy aww, thanks!
When I was a music ed student taking basic concert band percussion, I learned this the hard way. Percussionists have to be masters at so many diverse instruments, and the techniques are harder than they may appear. And the pressure is more intense, since they're often soloists. Major respect!
Are you the new Justin y.?
Finally !
Thank you
3:13 Eddy practicing for his lion dance tournament.
i thought the same XD
I know, it sounds like lion dance music!
I haven’t known it’s called lion dance even though I know what it is in my own language
@@gracegriffindor9352 Barongsai
OMG LMAO Yes!
Almost 2 years later and Eddy vibrating his entire body trying to get the cymbals to sound right still cracks me up every time
We love some cymbal recognition! It isn’t just loudly slamming them together like a toy monkey, it has tons of dynamics and it’s difficult to get a good sound out of them considered their weight and the awkwardness of holding them.
Eddy
20% playing
80% doing some sick dance moves
Didnt even put his shirt off smh
3:10 Eddy is trying to imitate the Chinese dragon dance during New Years for anyone who thinks he's just high
Edit: lion dance
It's barongsai
It's omae wa shinderiu
Could be be both high and imitating a dragon?
i thought he just couldn’t handle the noise
Marshmeow Cactus *Lion
As a percussionist, I find this person adorable. It’s like watching a baby learn how to walk. Even tho I’m much younger than him.
When he picked up the crash cymbal I thought he would smash it as hard as he can bc that’s what they usually do
Edit: the baby reference is a metaphor, ik most of u guys understand but anyone else look up metaphor. Thx 😊
XD there is a whole English lesson in the replies if anyone wants to read it 🤣
Btw a simile is a type of metaphor! It’s just more specific. Basically meaning that what was said in the first part of the comment was not meant to be taken seriously!!

The Pro Riley I forgot this comment existed
5:38 when Asians check if the fruit is fresh
Me: " Pa, how you know just by slapping that watermelon "
Pa: " I dont know , I see others slap, I slap also laaa "
Me: 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the fruits: i feel personally attacked
I’ve seen my dad do it, but he’s never taught me, so I guess I can’t pass down the secret.
Bahahaha
@@Veronicz My grandma told me that you can hear how juicy the watermelon is by slapping it so I guess it's scientific
Learn to play all of those very slowly first. Because if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly
This is the only time this line is applicable. In percussion we always learn by starting slowly then speeding up and then going faster than what is needed so that we can become accustomed to all tempos and speeds.
...that saying sounds familiar but i cant put my finger on it
(Mwahahaha at least there will be no more sacreligeous or however you spell guys anymore)
@@Makoishere4 you cang use sacreligeous and bois in the same sentence my dude
Yeah actually you’re right- I’ll fix it then to not make it even more sacreligeous
Everyone assumes percussionists are hacks or not real musicians until they realize... they have to play like 40 different instruments at a legit pro level. Each with its own technique, nuance, artistry, and challenges. Cool bro you can double on flute and piccolo, or trumpet and flugelhorn, or alto and bari sax... percussionists do whatever the equivalent of doubling but for a few dozen. Whatever the word for that is.
Obviously it's dozing.
I remember the first time I saw someone in a practice room practicing crash cymbals... ppp... pp..p. mp..mf...f...ff...ffff... DAMN!
Honestly just the Xylo/Vibraphone/Glockenspiel alone already puts you at the same level as a pianist.
@Hoaxcrit if could use an analogy to explain it, it would be like, I could pick up a flute and blow into it. That wouldn't make me a floutist, because I would need to have good intonation, Dynamics and everything else. With timpanis, there are certain stick techniques that bring out the best tone, along with certain places on the head that bring out the best sound. You are right, it doesn't take a genius to play timpanis, but you can tell when there isn't a good timpanist. That is basically all percussion instruments, it's all about finding the right place to hit and stick control, yes even the triangle has a certain technique.
@@RadenWA nah, Marimba is definitely the only instrument that takes real talent and dedication to learn. This is coming from a percussionist.
3:08 Asians: *_HEY HEY WHERE IS THE ANGPAW LAH WE HAVE TO GIVE IT TO THE LION_*
woah i didnt know they had to learn so many instruments. mad respect. i learned a lot with this video.
+ as someone that does ballet, hearing the triangle's part only in the nutcracker overture was an interesting experience!!
Ikr
Today our band had to play without percussion because they were working with another instructor and oh my god the amount of tempo issues the band had plus we have several percussion solos so it was just dead silent at parts
Obviously Gay conclusion: percussionists are underrated and aren’t given the attention they deserve
Hannah Abbott yeah but when y’all fuck up tje entire band loses it
Obviously Gay your fault obviously just keep time
We don't even played with percussion until a few days before the concert
CEDRIC BROWN I’m talking about Highschool band not a professional one
0:46 I laughed out loud when he, while maintaining a totally serious face, dampens the one he didn't even play yet.
And yet he won't dampen the triangle!
FYI: resonance. Timpani tuned in octaves, quarters or fifths compared to one another tend to resonate due to over- and undertones existing. If you need silence, dampening them all is a must to have the conductor not murder you. Only tearing a timpani head mid-concert, thus screwing ALL of your tuning annotations AND stickings is considered a worse way to die, but at least there's some gallows humor to be found between the time the head breaks, and the conductor finds out. -- Timpanist for 20+y, massacred only 1 head (Theme from the Lost World - J. Williams, arrangement very close to this one: ua-cam.com/video/PaKnvOW5wqA/v-deo.html )
@@Calugila kinda like playing high E on a guitar makes low E resonate
@@Calugila Lucky you! There's a lot of great percussions in that soundtrack!

Look how many instruments you have to learn as a percussionist, guy's definitely got 40 hours a day to practice...
Tian Zheng
Sometimes I don’t even know how I keep up with all the instruments we have to learn to play. I mean I just learned apparently we have an ocean drum in the percussion room and last year we had to play whirly tubes.
Honestly you just kinda learn in rehearsal. I have 2 xylophone pieces for my concert and I didn't even read sheet music before that and now I can play them flawlessly
“40 hours a day”
Say that again, but slowly
Connor Foley You must be new to the channel.
@@afro4640 exactly
Thank you for labeling which one was the beginner and which one was the professional. Very helpful!
Alex Probert 😂
RIGHT. I thought Eddy was the professional. Well he should be!
😂
This is copied so much.
scubadues You’re acting as if people can’t have the same thoughts.
It’s just a joke.
2:11 Eddy unintentionally did the lick. What a legend
omg
i'm saying this as a wind player: being a percussionist is NOT easy
the entire orchestra/band relies on you for keeping time
if you're in marching band or indoor percussion cymbals are so hard to hold, they're heavy and there's many tricks with them.
rhythms are hard
fr holding cymbals for parades and shit is literally hell
Yeah tenors and 5th bass got it rough as well.
lol I’m a string player and I rely on percussion too 😂
Next: Eddy and Brett vs the professional Lion Chinese Dancers
I'd love to see that hahahahaha
He was getting a bit of a lion dance on during the cymbals excerpt!
I literally thought this too 😂
3:10
Ooo, I really want to see that😂
I'm sure it would be hilarious
I actually feel educated after this. I never knew they had to play so many and that well
It depends on your repertoire. Modern composers will use a litany of percussion instruments, and if you don't have enough percussionists in your group, one player might need to be responsible for many many instruments. Sometimes I really wish I was an octopus.
Thank you!
Lily P Sun it’s definitely a struggle, it’s fun sometimes though!
The evenness and dynamics achieved by a good percussionist are things I have taken for granted in the past, but now I have a new found respect for the skills involved. Also, amazed how hard it is to get a good sound from the cymbals. The attention to detail of muting the triangle also made a huge difference.
I love the fact that the professional was trying so hard not to laugh the most of the time with a couple breaks of an impressed face, lol.
The percussionist looked like he was enjoying himself! Seems like a down to earth guy :D
He was cute. Heh heh heh... 😏😛
Totally agree
Honestly, percussionists just have a ball the whole time. There’s no reason to not have fun while playing an instrument
*beginner recorder vs professional recorder*
Keeling Charles There’s ACTUAL professional recorder players which I’ve performed with. Much better than 6 year olds.
We need recorder legend
two set violin and recorder legend collab when
I've seen a professional recorder player on UA-cam, forgot his channel name but he sounded really good.
That would be amazing. I love the recorder sound (played by a professional)
When you realize playing the triangle actually requires skill.
Eddy: *covers ears with jacket*
Eddy also: I have prepared for this moment all my life.
Tour idea: take volunteers from audience and have an entire ensemble of first time players...what a glorious mess...
Look up the "Portsmouth Symphonia" it's exactly that.
Did you mean: *6th Grade Band Ensemble*
Eccentric Nerd ahahahah

I think Eddy’s best percussion instrument is the tamborine. He just needs to practice 40hrs a day😂
A study has shown that Ling Ling isn’t actually a person. It’s a spirit that rarely possesses classical musicians.
That's what I'm saying!
Thank you for labeling who was the beginner and who was the professional. How could anyone tell who was who if not for those hints.
WhatAboutTheBee haha
Right!? I had to always look up at the label😂
WhatAboutTheBee WHATDOYOUMEANNN? I coudn't tell the difference! xD
They both sounded so good! Especially the one labeled "Beginner"
Serious?? It can’t be more obvious...
The percussionist's facial expressions and reactions to Eddy playing are gold
I love how Eddy keeps a deadpan face all the time when he's doing it wrong. Except when he thinks something needs a lot of emotion, lol.
You should do a season finale where all of the people you guys tried to play like come back and try to play the violin.
Bailey Phillips That’s a great idea! I hope they end up doing something like that.
Fast forward to the professional pianist, who was so talented she could play both piano AND violin...
So talented 😭

Me: "ummm... Not really?"
Classmate: "But al you do is hit stuff and keep the rhythm"
Band Director: "Some people have a hard time doing that *looks at classmate*"

Your band director is shady
At least you don't need to suffocate yourself trying to keep a note when playing a wind instrument.
it's hard when you don't know the proper fingerings, I mean you might also run out of fingers when playing the piano
@@miffmiff2051 I'm not saying wind instruments are easier. I play the flute and oboe as well and it's pretty dang tricky sometimes with the air, especially flute. I'm not comparing them, I'm just saying that percussion isn't as easy as people think they are.

i've never seen someone trying to hit anything this light before but also eddy is freaking adorable especially when he's covering his ears with the (i'm sorry i don't know what they're called) drumsticks
As a very new/beginning percussionist, I approve this video. I can see my poor teachers trying to hold themselves together when I played this way. Thanks for the laughs!
Love how at the end, the professional is just like "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DAMP THE DAMN TRIANGLE ALREADY"
(but, cool dude and remarkably chill overall)
Percussion is easy. I mean all you do is have good timing. Right..?
Me: *inhale*
*n o*
It seems stupid the first time you hear it, sounds kinda absurd: Small details is what really adds up. Not a perscusionist myself, but a flautist, but I think this can be said in every instrument
@@ren6140 we can say that percussion is controlling the tempo (maybe) so if they messed up then... Rip
@【しいな】Shiina
Used to be metal drummer (yes, a lot easier than being orchestral percussionist, I am aware)
And yep, you are basically the boss of a party
I just joined band this year wanting to play drums (that's all I knew how to play) but now I gotta know 50+ other instruments ;-;
They just sit there and do nothing for most of the time.
Truth be told Eddy isn't doing that bad job for a baby. He has an understanding of volume and dynamics due to his school violin training which is more than most beginners can say.
3:31 we got a dragon there , it’s cHinese new yer 😂😂
starting eddy off w a 4 mallet piece 🤣🤣🤣🤣 professional man is cruel
Porgy and Bess overture is hard as well
@@Gameplay_006 upupupu
But he didn't need to play with 4 mallets that piece
Well try to play that yourself at that speed
It’s also a smaller instrument compared to a marimba
Dude my teacher developed a six mallet technique and honestly walking into a room holding six mallets is a pro gamer move
Brent= volume x9999999+
Eddie= volume 0.1
Me= "How to do dis???"
Brent..? You mean Brett? 😂
@@tedason5797 read the description mate
Part of the magic of percussion is that we glue together the chaos of the orchestra. Everything that was played on this video is significantly harder when you have many other moving parts around you, and you are being relied on to basically lead the implementation of the conductor’s pace.
yessir
the professional guy in the back was trying his hardest not to laugh😂
I said to my percussion friend *me a clarinet* “ya wanna make the most annoying sounds possible” and after like 3 minutes of me playing the highest note I can hit F5 and my percussion friend playing 16ths on a triangle we made a girl cry
Mary Best
Or just play fortissimo with Brass mallets on the highest note on the glockenspiel
With a microphone
On Repeat. Forever.
Mary Best O my god
Hit an octave higher and then you’ll really start annoying people
Lol now I'm crying
Shift really high on the e string of a violin
the cymbals at around 3.30 with eddy putting the jacket over his head and moving around. really reminds me of a lion dance
That's the idea
eddy looks like a chinese lion dance when the professional used the cymbals, not sure if that's intentional to fit the percussion or XD
3:56 Is this some sort of ceremonial ritual?
