I actually recently got a cello and fixed up a violin myself so I'm on my way there! I'd love to be able to have real string orchestra textures in my recordings someday
Perhaps! But why discourage people from doing something they enjoy? After all, the original quote is: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” - William Shakespeare. As long as you are good enough at your primary instrument, it's not a bad thing at all to experiment with others. There are plenty of incredible musicians who play multiple instruments and are still masters at their main! :)
I am thinking of doing this on saxes, then branching out to the clarinet family as well. This guy just goes out and plays the whole band!! This is awesome!
Obviously its super impressive that you can just play every instrument but also I imagine getting them all in time was a big challenge too, so congrats because this was amazing!
I've met people who have a similiar talent in the past, but usually they only know how to play a load of instruments really badly. This however, sounds really good!
Dude this is so impressive! My orchestra played this arrangement last year, but I simply can't imagine the amount of effort that went into playing every part yourself, especially with instruments from different families. I'm so glad this showed up on my fyp, gonna check out your other stuff now because I really enjoyed this. Keep up the good work!!
Dude I aspire to be this lmao. I'm 14 and In my room rn I have a tuba (my primary band instrument), a trombone, a trumpet (w a broken 2nd valve), a cornet, an alto sax, a drumkit, and a keyboard. Downstairs I have a legit upright piano which is my primary instrument. I tinker with composing, though I struggle with the transposing of saxes and french horns :/. This video is inspiring to me!! New sub :)
I'm not very experienced in percussion which is pretty clear here. I'm pretty good on drumset but I do wish I could have more opportunities to get better at my concert and mallet percussion. I didn't have much time to record all of the percussion in my school but I did what could! Someday, I hope to have legitimate percussion technique!
Nope those are actually cornets and trumpets! Bells look a little weird at that angle lol. Would love to have a flugel though! Unfortunately I don't have any double reeds and neither does my school :( glad you liked the low clarinets! I very much do as well
This video has been a subconscious goal of mine since about 8th grade! I have been lucky enough to come into possession of most of these instruments over the years from buying some of them and being gifted some others by people who wont use them anymore. Minus the percussion, baritone, and contra alto clarinet they are all my instruments!
Most of them I own and have at home with me. Some are borrowed from my school that I have at home to record with since I'm the only one who plays them. And lastly some I just recorded in school (mainly percussion).
This is not hate or knit picking at all, just curiosity. Did u play the double reed parts as well? I just love double reeds haha. This is super impressive how clean and well u played all the instruments! Gj
I unfortunately did not play double reeds in this one as at the time, I hadn't actually learned or had access to any! Since then, I had the opportunity to learn oboe and perform a concert using it in April. I wish I could have used it in this now! (That and I wish bassoons weren't so price). I am sure now that I'm college I will get a chance to play some more double reed stuff so hopefully I'll get a chance to make some videos with them!
this is some real dedication and skill, truly a one man band! and do you just casually own all these instruments, or did you borrow some of them? either way, really cool! i think you're my idol now lmao
Beautiful sound. I'm guessing the distancing was to utilize thew acoustics of the room. Wish a video of the temple block player would happen since he's part of the sleigh horse 😂
Simply put so you don't have to waste too much time, how does one do this (like record it)? Do you just run a met and record them all and line them up?
I just ran a met for this one. Usually I'll have a midi mockup I'll use as a backing track but I just read the sheet music down and recorded for every track on this project.
For stuff like this honestly to not waste too much time recording it helps best to learn all the parts relatively well ahead of time. Normally when I record I just sightread and play what I've written without practicing but there were a few tricky sections in some of these parts that it helped to work out the day earlier
@@evanbonannomusic Thank you so much man, I was just curious bc I totally wanna do stuff like this but am slightly unaware on how to properly execute it. This helped tons!
I am a multi-instrumentalist who wants to do the same thing and play all the parts of a song but I don’t know how to put multiple videos at the same time
There is lots of free software online that works for this sort of thing. Kinemaster is quite easy to learn if you're doing it all on your phone and DaVinci resolve is quite good on computers
Sometimes, I wish I had a bunch of clones that all chose to focus on 1 instrument so we could all play together and be a better band than I can be as just 1 person. Still on the lookout for a cloning machine!
That would also sound very cool! I like playing upright and I don't have one at home so I took advantage of the opportunity to record at home. I use my Acoustic Bass guitar on many of my other videos if you are interested!
@@evanbonannomusic So why not do another version of that song but you substitute the String Bass w/ an Acoustic Bass Guitar played w/ a Pick? The Acoustic Bass Guitar makes a very percussive strumming sound that can help drive the other instruments.
@@evanbonannomusic That's the Concert Band version but I want a version w/ the String Bass substituted w/ Acoustic Bass Guitar for a new Twist cause it would sound percussive & punchy.
I learned oboe a few months after I posted this. There is a video of me playing oboe in a recording I did over the summer on the channel though! I really wish I could have used it for this :(
@@evanbonannomusic sorry didn’t wanna make you feel bad. You’re very talented this was a great video! Couldn’t even imagine playing all these instruments
When you have to do the entire group project yourself:
I didn't have to, I chose to!
Brother, this dude is so talented being able to do every single instrument in sleigh ride rock on dude
That means so much to hear! Thank you for listening!
@@evanbonannomusic i dont blame you for not doing strings haha. i can barely play it on my violin myself (as a freshman)
I actually recently got a cello and fixed up a violin myself so I'm on my way there! I'd love to be able to have real string orchestra textures in my recordings someday

When the band conductor is absent
Maybe I should've added a video of me conducting all the other Evans!
band teachers crying of jelousy in the backround*
I love how you didn't just use trumpets but actually used cornets too for their respective parts
Figured it was worth doing since I can play and have a Cornet at home!
I am thinking of doing this on saxes, then branching out to the clarinet family as well. This guy just goes out and plays the whole band!! This is awesome!
Thank you!
dude you as a band is better than my entire band
If only I had clones!
@@evanbonannomusic we should make a petition to clone you
@@evanbonannomusic and make a band out of you
Obviously its super impressive that you can just play every instrument but also I imagine getting them all in time was a big challenge too, so congrats because this was amazing!
Was definitely challenging! It was quite fun though!
yooo is that a contrabass clarinet? this is so sick dude i aspire to be this multitalented
Contra-Alto Clarinet!
No Eb Soprano :((((@@evanbonannomusic
Should i have chosen band instead of orchestra to understand 😅
Underrated! Crazy how much work is shown and put into this!
Thank you!
Somebody get this man a cloning machine! Awesome job, btw
Thanks for the comment!
I've met people who have a similiar talent in the past, but usually they only know how to play a load of instruments really badly. This however, sounds really good!
Thank you so much! I really aspire not to end up like those people

I was quite similar to you at that age! Keep at it and you will achieve so much!
I just bought a clarinet 🤫 @@evanbonannomusic
This is amazing chat
Lots of respect
Why thanks
@@evanbonannomusic one of my favorite Christmas songs
Same!
this is seriously impressive, youve earned a subscriber. i really hope this blows up.
Thank you so much! I also hope so!
I'm really impressed you actually hit all those notes on the keyboard instruments with that sticking.
I'm not very experienced in percussion which is pretty clear here. I'm pretty good on drumset but I do wish I could have more opportunities to get better at my concert and mallet percussion.

Damn, only 5K views? This deserves much more
That means so much thank you! This has already been my most successful video yet by far so hopefully it will get there!
all trumpet and cornet parts on flugelhorn? No double reeds? Still awesome job! Love 2 different low clarinets!
Nope those are actually cornets and trumpets! Bells look a little weird at that angle lol. Would love to have a flugel though! Unfortunately I don't have any double reeds and neither does my school :( glad you liked the low clarinets! I very much do as well
VERY WELL DONE!
Thank you very much!
this is hella bussin
Did you sneak into the band store? Where did you get all these instruments!? Beautifully played by the way!
This video has been a subconscious goal of mine since about 8th grade! I have been lucky enough to come into possession of most of these instruments over the years from buying some of them and being gifted some others by people who wont use them anymore.

New meaning of "one man band"
Thank you!
This sounds like really good either elevator music or "well be with you shortly" music.
@@JudgementDragon I would absolutely thrilled to hear this in an elevator or while waiting for something. Thank you for the comment!
Brother this is awesome you just got a subsciber
Thank you
And to think that I can barely play it on my own instrument. Keep up the great work, you are very talented!!!
Thank you!
THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE AND COOL OMGGG
Thank youuuuuuu! :)
So much talent 😯 if only I could do that in my concert
Thank you!
Bro, this is so cool, good job, man
@@Adamthecoolguy123 Nothing cooler than Christmas in August!
Awesome work dude, this must've taken a ton of time to put together!
Not too long! Only about a week
@@evanbonannomusicdangggg
@@evanbonannomusicrocking it 🔥
Now that's what you call dedication. Bravo!
Many thanks!
dude this is so good
Thanks!
how long did it take
edit: how did you manage to wear the same shirt for the whole week of recording
only took a day to record videos. did audio seperately
This is awesome, amazing work 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Pasta :)
Pasta is going to be the end of me
best video ive ever seen
many thanks
Yoooo this is amazing ‼️‼️ 👍
Thank youuuuu
so talented and hard working person!!
Thank you! It's nice to know my efforts are worth it!
the real question is where you pulled half of these instruments from
Most of them I own and have at home with me. Some are borrowed from my school that I have at home to record with since I'm the only one who plays them. And lastly some I just recorded in school (mainly percussion).
This is not hate or knit picking at all, just curiosity. Did u play the double reed parts as well? I just love double reeds haha. This is super impressive how clean and well u played all the instruments! Gj

and do you just casually own all these instruments, or did you borrow some of them? either way, really cool! i think you're my idol now lmao
Thank you so much! I own a lot of these but some I had to record in school since I didn't want to use midi sounds.
That was amazing! Thank you!
Many thanks!
this is crazy cool
Thank you!
this is amazing. how did you manage to time everything together so perfectly?
Recorded all the tracks one at a time to metronome and was strict on myself with my rhythm tightness so they wouldn't sound off when combined
That was awesome
Thank you 😎
UNDERRATED VIDEO! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Thank you! I will do my best!
You should play Mountain Dance by Ed Kiefer. Great piece
I'll consider it!
Beautiful sound. I'm guessing the distancing was to utilize thew acoustics of the room. Wish a video of the temple block player would happen since he's part of the sleigh horse 😂
All of the audio and video for this were recorded separately! The temple blocks are there, I'm not sure what you mean...
@@evanbonannomusic sorry Evan that comment was supposed to be sent someone else
By the way, you did excellent work on your video, bro.
All good!
@@danocallaghan6875 Thank you!
that’s is incredible!!!
Thank you!
This is beyond amazing considering you put dedication on this. Keep up the good work!
also I have a question if I could request a song piece maybe?
Thank you! I am certainly open to suggestions for songs!
@@evanbonannomusic thank you, I would absolutely appreciate it if you could play “Stargazer by David Shaffer”. once again thank you :)
INSANE!!

No problem! I hardly ever get asked about how I do this stuff but I'm always happy to share!
so uhm... maybe a wierd question but do you have a "main" instrument?
I do! I am primarily a tenor saxophone player. That is what I perform on mostly and what I am best at
Love all of your work, everything you put out is astounding 🙏
Thanks :)
Amazing work!
Thank you!
Nice Video!
Thanks! I worked hard on it
Eb contrabass/contra alto representtttt
Couldn't leave it out!
As a 3 instruemmt player i wish to be like you
I am honored!
Cool!
I wanna be able to do this when im older, it's my goal 💓
That means quite a lot to me! It was definitely a goal of mine for a while as well. Best of luck and enjoy the journey!
@@evanbonannomusic thanks !!
this is so sigma!
The bass drum is so painfull to look at tbh. Hit that thing.
My director was teaching in the other room so I didn't want to be too loud :(
@@evanbonannomusic damn
Hit it hard in the recording though
This is amazing!!

My phone through bandlab!
👏👏👏👏

I really hope this is me some day
I hoped for the exact same thing when I was younger. Keep working hard and you'll get there!
Cool the string Bass part can be played on Acoustic Bass Guitar w/ a Pick
That would also sound very cool! I like playing upright and I don't have one at home so I took advantage of the opportunity to record at home. I use my Acoustic Bass guitar on many of my other videos if you are interested!
@@evanbonannomusic So why not do another version of that song but you substitute the String Bass w/ an Acoustic Bass Guitar played w/ a Pick? The Acoustic Bass Guitar makes a very percussive strumming sound that can help drive the other instruments.
I personally like the orchestra the way it is since it's exactly how it was written by Leroy Anderson. I appreciate the suggestion though!
@@evanbonannomusic That's the Concert Band version but I want a version w/ the String Bass substituted w/ Acoustic Bass Guitar for a new Twist cause it would sound percussive & punchy.
Tbh i forgot bass clarinet was a thing but i guess it’s fine i’m a strings player anyway
Wish I was a better strings player than I am
@@evanbonannomusic just get gud or do what twoset says and practice 40 hours a day
Wow 1+ sub
Many thanks!
No problem
Just a small suggestion but I would've replaced the temple blocks with the xylo or glockenspiel but that's just me
You need the horse sound in 'Sleigh Ride'
temple blocks are literally in the song tho
I just played the parts as written 🤷♂️
Aw man he beat me to it 😔
Do it anyway! :)
no bassoon :( (my instrument)
I'm sorry :( I would love to play and record bassoon I just don't have access to one
😃
:)
can play all except bass and trombone : C
Great! It's been a ton of fun for me to have learned so many instruments and I'm glad other people enjoy it too!
how to double like a video
What instruments would you like to see a potential video for?
hehehe
ha
bro forgor oboe, bassoon, and e flat clarinet
I don't have those instruments :(
If I ever get the opportunity to use them in recordings I certainly will though!
@@evanbonannomusic Bet, I'll loan you my bassoon for the next edition of whatever song
Sure! I'll learn bassoon just for it lol :)
No oboe 😣
I learned oboe a few months after I posted this. There is a video of me playing oboe in a recording I did over the summer on the channel though! I really wish I could have used it for this :(
