Somehow really fitting that the applause at the end sounds just like rain. Like the concert was a violent thunderstorm and now that it's over, all that energy rains down to the ground and comes to rest.
Shamisen is very hard to play so the fact that he was playing for that long that fast and absolutely shredding it at that intensity is veeeery impressive. Much respect
@@superbarnie yes definitely, there's no frets, you have to pluck with with both hands, and grip that you hold the bachi (pick) does a number on you hands.
@@teatool6903 @superbarnie Shamisen player here! I wouldnt call the shamisen particularly more difficult than other instruments. The player here displays some insane skill thats for sure. The argument that every instrument that has no frets is immediately insanely difficult is nonsense. Yes, especially for people who started with a key instrument like the piano or a string instrument like the harp, where each string had a set tone, it can take some time to get the intonation right, but look at cellos, viola, double bass and so on...not impossible. And the bachi only gets difficult to hold if you use the wrong technique. It feels unusual at first, but also: no big deal after some practice. I usually dont like comparing instruments, because each instrument comes with its own technique and challenges.
@@TheCopyNinja733 probably. Im not quite sure what you mean with double as fast, but the plucking technique is called "hajiki" and is used very often in tsugaru shamisen. By quickly plucking the string with your left hand you can make some cool ornamentations, making the sound play twice really fast.
I feel like people always dismiss percussionists as having the easy role. "LMAO, you're just hitting stuff with a stick!" Watch that drummer, the absolute mastery he has over his instrument, how careful his movements actually are, listen to his dynamics. He is a true virtuoso. I don't care if you're listening to Japanese classical music, western classical music, or pop music, NEVER dismiss your percussionists. They can make or break the entire performance.
Before the shamisen comes in, he is giving an absolute master class in how many diverse timbres and textures you can get out of a single drum. Listen for how differently the low resonating tone is or isn't ensconced in our masked by the higher frequency bands of noise. That first stage of the performance could have been many times longer and it would still have been far from boring.
Quick second year addition from a separate comment: The man played so hard that he literally broke his baton in the midst of this performance! He didn't miss a beat, instantly dropping the split wood and pulling out a prepared replacement... which implies that even with the best materials available, using this instrument for a prolonged performance is so physically powerful that it regularly splinters the wood in your fists, to the point that this is an expected eventuality and you train to *work around the limitations of physical matter* by instantly identifying the failure and accurately snatching a replacement. I just have to play it up, because that's some next level intensity. Further! I don't think everyone viewing knows how it feels to be in proximity of one of these drums during use- markedly different experience from watching a recording! The fact that this high level player has backup batons gives you a hint, though. You feel those strikes bounce the air in your freakin' lungs, my friends. All this on top of expert coordination and timing. You'll find that requirement for endurance and precision similar for most if not all styles of percussion, though I think Taiko may be one of the burliest of the lot.

It's crazy how different cultures condense so much of their own unique energy into their music and that only in the last 3-4 decades have we been able to share that with each other.
Its not only the skill, which is incredibly amazing, but the huge endurance you need to keep playing the drum with that power and speed for such long time =O . Furthermore, the other musician is amazing too =) .
I saw a documentary on this once. A group of young people, men and women lived in an austere communal house in the mountain to learn the art. It reminded me of a working monastery or convent
Kids learn it. I've been to festivals where they have all the kids doing drumming. They look so serious with their headbands and expressions but it's the cutest thing you'll ever see
Harold Ishoy absolutely! I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to go to Taiko performances in the past, and it’s indescribable live- you feel every little bit of it!!!
Really didn't think I'd watch the entire performance. I did. I loved it. It keeps going on in my head long after it's stopped. The amount of respect the drummer gave to the other performer was very humble. They both deserve the applause. Great fellows.
This is really impressive. These guys are both masters of their craft. The music is simultaneously powerful, elegant, subtle and brutal. Truly a masterpiece. It gives me goosebumps even though it's sweaty mid-summer.
The most incredible things are said when humans are forced to speak without their mouths. Brilliant. The interaction between the pair reminds me somewhat of some sitar/tabla combinations I've heard in Indian classical music.

People are missing the most insane part, where the drummer breaks the baton at 13:15 and just swaps it out for a new one without skipping a beat!
Yo nice catch
That and when he starts using his head.
It didn’t break he kept switching the baton many times in the video because each one have kind of different sound
Nah man it totally broke, unless he switches between them by dropping the current one out by tossing it behind him

Lol that sound, like the little boy from the meme taking a basketball to the head xD haaaaaaaaaayaaaaaaah
3:18 bruh his timing as well as pitch clarity & articulation is so clean. anyone who has never heard this music would think it's a sample
that man can shred on that shamisen 👏👏
I am from West Virginia....we call it a banjo.
@@williamhensley8698 Doesn't a banjo have a higher pitch?
They both actually came from an instrument in Gambia, Africa. The slaves that went to the US made the banjo and the Japanese made the shamisen.
@@will_of_d8001tf are you talking about? Shamisen is older than banjo. Shamisen is from 16th century. Inspired by chinese instrument call sanxian, ancient instrument. Banjo is new intrument start in 1880, shamisen from 16th century. This is eastern instrument
How is that guy so ripped from just dru..... oh.
7-pound drumsticks
My shoulders hurt from.watching this
I saw him headbang while playing the shamisen.
Where bro?
懐かし過ぎます！
生で見に行きました。
i played this for my gekko and he turned into godzilla
😂😂😂😂
Gojira*
Oddly enough, gekkō in Japanese means "moonlight".
I don't care how many times I listen to this it never stops being an amazing musical piece, or simply astounding at their timing, and the drummers physical endurance.
Ar you stil listening this?
This should be preserved forever as a treasure. These guys are incredible!
the stamina to play this intensely for 14 minutes straight and not miss a beat is seriously impressive
Me knocking on my front door at 1am 8:29
haha :-D
😂
That drummer doesn't need to workout 😁👏👏
That IS his workout lol
greenseba Chillout son. This was over 20 years ago.
@@natyqueen I think he was referring to the fact the performance was 20 years ago as according to the info box under it, this performance took place in 1997
i hope he's single
@@BadButterfly65 What the hell does that make me then? I was born in the late 80's, you think you feel old, for most of the new kids I must be from the age of the dinos.
1:20 * main character remembering his life *
2:22 enemy: oh no...
It's crazy how different cultures condense so much of their own unique energy into their music and that only in the last 3-4 decades have we been able to share that with each other.
Its not only the skill, which is incredibly amazing, but the huge endurance you need to keep playing the drum with that power and speed for such long time =O .
Furthermore, the other musician is amazing too =) .
Yeah, that mans shoulders must be burning!
Both are IN THE ZONE
That drummer IS the zone.
@@9716-i7f 😂😂😂 thank you
If he has kids, I bet they're terrified to do anything that would merit a spanking
lol.
We don't beat kids anymore, it is 2021

心を打ち魂に響くとはまさにこのこと
"What is your talent?"
"Beating the living hell out of a giant drum."
How do you even...start learning something like this?
Kenny Laysh Japan they have everything
You find someone who already knows how to do it and ask them to teach you.
Most taiko groups in America have an o-daiko, but you have to earn your way there usually. May take years depending on the dojo
I saw a documentary on this once. A group of young people, men and women lived in an austere communal house in the mountain to learn the art. It reminded me of a working monastery or convent
Kids learn it. I've been to festivals where they have all the kids doing drumming. They look so serious with their headbands and expressions but it's the cutest thing you'll ever see
This is a level of artistry that should be felt live as well as heard.
Harold Ishoy absolutely! I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to go to Taiko performances in the past, and it’s indescribable live- you feel every little bit of it!!!
Medieval period Japanese music concert. I imagine the samurai in massive mosh pits in front of this. Whoever tires first must seppuku .
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruh u made my night with this comment
This is why terrorists attack us.
Hahahahahahaha
Really didn't think I'd watch the entire performance. I did. I loved it. It keeps going on in my head long after it's stopped. The amount of respect the drummer gave to the other performer was very humble. They both deserve the applause. Great fellows.
*He's really slapping that bass.*
*_NOICELY APPROVED_*
Hands down, the most intense percussive performance I've seen. The dude is literally slamming as hard as he can and screaming like a battle cry
I can imagine a samurai fight scene with this music
And they call him Jack....
The physical endurance the drummer has is next level. Shoulder pump to the max.
This is what Sekiro music should've sounded like
Ghost of tsushima
Even Kung Fu Panda got it right
@@Kuhn3y Kung fu panda had Hans Zimmer so you cant compare that...
U can say that again
@@Kuhn3y Kung Fu Panda is set in China, not Japan
This is really impressive. These guys are both masters of their craft. The music is simultaneously powerful, elegant, subtle and brutal. Truly a masterpiece. It gives me goosebumps even though it's sweaty mid-summer.
This level of skills and talents are pure maddening insanity.
This guy for 15 minutes non stop beating those drums. Hes a strong man. Thats not easy i would imagine 💪
I have no clue how I got here but I enjoyed this moment ^^ impressive
same here!
Gotta love youtue journeys lol...when they go right lol.
Me: *trying to sleep*
My neighbors at 3 am:
I would have actually enjoyed that
Why you trying to sleep at 3pm? Thats a totally reasonable time to play drums.
@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 I guess he either had a REALLY hard day, or forgot to change to am.
Lol 😂 3 pm or A.M ? Dude 🤣
Why you sleeping at 3 pm do you work third shift lol
I played this during my workout and now every time I go back people bow to me and call me sensei.
I'm nicknamed blacky sensei for working out in black while listening to this kinda music
Nice now your looking like a masterpiece
I played this and I didn't even have to workout
OMG! There are so many talents in the world which I still have not discovered ...Unbelievable performance! 👌
That's what I thought when I found this sublime performance.
Is Zeus your God?
Ah, those early Japanese raves! Those were the days!
Maybe it was watching martial arts movies as a kid
But this shit makes me think there is going to be an insane fight
Either way these guys are great
了不起的，天人合一搭配，音樂藝術的高境界。感謝分享。

This back and forth between them was amazing and concluded in an awesome way
The most incredible things are said when humans are forced to speak without their mouths. Brilliant.
The interaction between the pair reminds me somewhat of some sitar/tabla combinations I've heard in Indian classical music.
War..
@@jomatt8803 No thanks. I'm trying to cut down.
Hmm this sounds really interesting actually. Do you have any recommendations for classical Indian music in a similar vein?
@@CockatooDude Sure, Ravi Shankar is the easiest example. Here he is at Woodstock. I was thinking of a different example, but this is the only one I could find at the moment.

@@soundlemonade Ahh thanks, appreciate it.
Nothing beats a live musical performance no matter the genre
If anyone is wondering, the shamisen piece is a Tsugaru traditional called Jongara-bushi.
ah yeah ...shit ahha knew i recognized it thanks for the reminder
