This instrument has been used in: -Shin Megami Tensei 4 -Deltarune -Terraria Calamity Mod -Rivals of Aether -Touhou Project Seriously, why does every single niche videogame artist use this soundfont?
Tubular bells are also popular with Hip Hop/Trap music; Lil Wayne 'Burn' , Young Jeezy 'Halloween Massacre', 2Pac "Hail Mary", etc. I'd argue that it's one of the few genre that actually does anything interesting with it that goes beyond the 1st down beat and into something melodic.
I have always wanted to learn this instrument and the xylophone they are the nicest sound in my opinion like the beautiful sound in the song “ come let us adore him sung by clay Aiken that Tubular bell chime ending is just amazing aaaah sounds like heaven just beautiful
Lmao the owner of this account is probably wondering why we're all here. If we gave him the sheet music, I wonder if he'd play that part from SMT4 for us
I remember we had one of these in my middle school band class. I think only 2 songs we played ever called for it but it was always so fun to play. Percussion really is awesome with so many different instruments all with different feelings that you get from playing them. Playing the massive base drum was probably my favorite with xylophone being my second fave. Oh almost forgot timpani drums are tied for second since they're so awesome I don't want to put them any lower.
You missed a chance to play The Exorcist theme, which happens to be called tubular bells. Seriously, why has nobody played that theme on this instrument? It would literally be Tubular bells on tubular bells
@@MusicArteTux that's my mistake. I should have said out of all of the orchestral percussion instruments the chimes are my favorit. i've herd those instruments some times refered to as keyboard percussion instruments because they have bars, or in this case toobs lined up in the same way the notes would bee on a keyboard of a piano..
Question from a composer-I’m writing an orchestra piece and I actually think a more harmonic-filled sound would suit my work better. How do I notate or communicate that to chime players?
what kind of xylophone uses Tubular Bells when i was in school there was a xylophone that did not use flat pieces of metal or wood that normally you would hit this one was using pips that was of a chrome color. thy sat on top of some kind of foam. the foam had half circle cut out slots the pips did not have any cap at all and u hit it with a xylophone mallets that was wood ball head on it or thy had some that was like cloth head ball but the wood ones work way better do u know the name of that kind of xylophone?
Does it hurt the bells if you strike them without holding down the pedal at all? My former band teacher never told us if that was the case, and I'm wondering because I'm planning on writing a piece where a muted sound would be better than a prolonged sound.
Find it a bit perplexing how people are surprised by this instrument! The sound has been readily in the hands of composers since at least the DX7 synth! Soundtrack composers love this bell.
What songs feature this a lot? Ive never found one...apart from the song from the trailer "Joy" I put it on my channel if you want to hear it, but you never hear it featured so much in any other music.
@@kevindunne5753 The exorcist theme doesn't feature tubular bells. They only come around like, 5 minutes after the exorcist theme ends. They also appear in the closing section of the song. Other than that, however, yes. Mike Oldfield does indeed use the instrument a fair bit. Once you've listened to tubular bells, Amarok is just pure delight.
I’ve seen these a lot in large orchestras, especially in large churches. The person playing them often play other forms of percussion as well. So there’s a drummer, and then the “secondary”…?? Not sure what you would call it? Second percussionist maybe.
@@gnesix52 Do you know whether there is sheet music for the song "Tubular Bells". I have a hard time in finding solo pieces for chimes/tubular bells in general
My whole life i thought they were just the regular round shaped bell like you see on top of churches. I feel dumb for not thinking about the appearance based on its name. 🤣
wow I didn't know this instrument exist until people said they used this on SMT 4 Apocalypse "B2 Boss theme". Neato!
Well, actually it was the original SMT IV, but it was in Apocalypse too.

I love, love, love the sound. I fell in love with it when i was in a school band. It was a part of “jacob’s ladder to a crescent”.
We are waiting for Shin Megami Tensei IV Battle B2 with real tubullar bells.
I would love to see someone play it.
love the sound of chimes, vibraphone, kalimba and the like mmm

Thanks for sharing your story
Your middle school band class had a set of tubular bells?! I'm unfathomably jealous... our percussion section consisted of a single snare drum!
Thankyou for you time. Really well explained . I never knew until today about this great and beautiful instrument
*Minotaur likes this*
*cast agi*
That shirt is fabulous!
These were also used by Neil Peart in the song Closer To The Heart by Rush.
Thank you for your good information!
Thx for this video, your explanation is really useful for me
Thank you for this very informative class.
Gave the 200th like! Thank you for the video, i always wanted to learn more about this instrument.
Great lesson, thanks!
They sound pretty good.
I believe these were used in a lot of Drakengard and NieR songs
how wonderful
Sounds good!!!
Awesome job Gary.
Thank you Burt, all the videos are live as in a class.
He is playing the Taco Bell instrument
You missed a chance to play The Exorcist theme, which happens to be called tubular bells.
Seriously, why has nobody played that theme on this instrument? It would literally be Tubular bells on tubular bells
That was the beginning of the piece, though. The actual bells didn't come in until the end.
@@quasarsphere they’re also played in the short opening section before the acoustic guitar part that opens up the finale.
The Exorcist theme isn't called Tubular Bells, they used the song for that. That's a difference.
I’m in percussion in middle school if u play the letter e it sounds like Taco Bell
The Futurama theme is played on one of these.
out of all the keyboard percussion instruments, the chimes are my favorit!
TB's are not played with a keyboard, but with a mallet, is just percussion.
@@MusicArteTux that's my mistake. I should have said out of all of the orchestral percussion instruments the chimes are my favorit.

Yes, I think you are correct.
I’ve seen glockenspiel, xylophone; marimba and vibraphone all referred to as “keyboard percussion.”
I finally found the calamity bells!
So that's what they use in all the Christmas songs! Very unique.
Hi! very instructive and wonderful video! Question, do you know how much this kind of instrument runs in price? ballpark?
Made famous by the Futurama theme song
Question from a composer-I’m writing an orchestra piece and I actually think a more harmonic-filled sound would suit my work better. How do I notate or communicate that to chime players?
I need one!!!!!!!!
Me and the boys love tubular bells
Thank you very much for this vedeo... Really amazing this sound...

I guess is just a tubular xylophone
I'd love to play Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield on one of these
If you'd like to get the right sound, you have to use a 12oz claw hammer instead of the mallet :)
These have a neat part in symphony piece: "In the Bleak Midwinter"
Already know how to and do play this but am going to watch anyway 😂
can you play 4 tubes at a time with two precisionists? I'm writing for it and I need a chord!
I think that’s possible if you grip the mallets the same way some people play the vibraphone. With two sticks in one hand.
Does it hurt the bells if you strike them without holding down the pedal at all? My former band teacher never told us if that was the case, and I'm wondering because I'm planning on writing a piece where a muted sound would be better than a prolonged sound.
Hello, it does not hurt them to play with dampener on 😊
thanks, exactly my doubt!
Yeat watching this like😃😃
Mike Oldfield brought me here
Shoutout Michigan rap scene they be using these hella on their beats
nice sandles
Why not use a rubber mallet?
What type of metal are these bells made from?
Find it a bit perplexing how people are surprised by this instrument! The sound has been readily in the hands of composers since at least the DX7 synth! Soundtrack composers love this bell.
Coincidentally, his voice reminds me of William Friedkin's
We can see Alan Wilder playing on this in the A Question Of Lust video.

The music of Mike Oldfield, features a lot of the instrument, especially the opening scenes of the exorcist
@@kevindunne5753 The exorcist theme doesn't feature tubular bells. They only come around like, 5 minutes after the exorcist theme ends. They also appear in the closing section of the song.
Other than that, however, yes. Mike Oldfield does indeed use the instrument a fair bit. Once you've listened to tubular bells, Amarok is just pure delight.
Which is the lowest note?
They are also called orchestral bells. I thought tubular bells were just the title of the Mike Oldfield Exorcist song.
K need a pdf of the every note I need to play them tommorow 😅😅😅😅
I’ve seen these a lot in large orchestras, especially in large churches. The person playing them often play other forms of percussion as well. So there’s a drummer, and then the “secondary”…?? Not sure what you would call it? Second percussionist maybe.
I really wish I made more money and room so I could buy one of these
Yoi yoi don da yo!
