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 :)
@@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.
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!
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?? 😃
i used to have a mechanical hand that had this same principle but instead of drums you could make it tap its fingers, it didn't have the big treadmill it just had a small wheel you could attach the pegs onto
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 RUclips
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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
Songs that I recognised immediately: Taylor Swift -Shake it off (4:42), Blink 182 - First date (4:56), Chop Suey - System of a Down (5:06), Toto - Africa (5:21)
The thing is, there is 1 type of question you can ask.. Is it possible for lego to do .... (a certain task) ? with electric Lego motors and lego gears and such, your imagination is the only limitation :)
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 :)
WAKE UP. GRAB A BRUSH AND PUT A LITTLE MAKEUP. HIDE THE SCARS TO FADE AWAY THE SHAKE-UP. WHYD'Y LEAVE THE KEYS UPON THE TABLE? HERE YOU GO CREATE ANOTHER FABLE.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.

@@DanielCho1997 its a machine that plays drums, what else should it be called?
The sounds come from the drum module or software , the lego just triggers them and does not produce any sound, so it just can't sound bad
@@MrCrrispy I do not think that is the point here. I *believe* the comment is rather about the evenness of the speed.
There is something very “wintergaten music machine” about this. Good job!
except this one is actually finished
Except this guy didn't just abandon the video because you could hear the lego or it might miss a note if you played it for 24 hours straight.
@@Cumbercuke Haha, snap.
@@bizarrefruit9133 if it messed up during a concert that would be a big problem. The guy's a perfectionist. Don't blame him.
@@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.
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.
I love that you had each bar start on gray! Nice little touch :)
Just when you think that this guy wouldn’t be able to come up with anything better than the previous video. Love it
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!
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.
I love that the second is literally: "song 2" , nice touch!
BTW great video! it looks like lego is playing giutar hero (the videogame)!
As a drummer, I am amazed by this, and ashamed that I couldnt find all the drum parts
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.
@@bradleypaquet7262 I believe you, but it's hard for me not to hear that first one as sugar we're going down by fallout boys
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 😂
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
On top of the amazing design, it’s also a visual representation of the music notes 🎵
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
Everything about this video is on point: montage, execution, engineering and the idea itself. Very impressive.
Also song choices!
The system is anti-nature, anti-truth because it is based on destruction and delusions: The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🌳
Also his Engineering…
@@mk.istruct-fing-e3741 right...
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.
i used to have a mechanical hand that had this same principle but instead of drums you could make it tap its fingers, it didn't have the big treadmill it just had a small wheel you could attach the pegs onto
Song 2 was a great touch!
Yeah literally called song 2
you’ve gotten more insane lately, that’s good.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I grabbed my bass and started jamming when you got My Hero going.
This is great, it's really smooth aswell. Well done, there's also a great story line. Keep up the good work.
This is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen.
Check out "Wintergatan"

Wow I could NEVER imagined that someday lego and real life electronics could go together SO well! Amazing job 👍
Power Functions/Mindstorms: Are we a joke to you?
@@joshuakorynta3385 lol
U should check brick experimenting channel then. His lego gyrocopter and submarines are insane!
@@СлишкомКлассный Checked him out. Those are cool too
@@joshuakorynta3385 everyone who makes custom electronics for their (absolutely insane) Lego creations: Are we a joke to you?
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.
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.
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
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
4:42 "I Stay out too Late!" 🎤
Got nothing in my brain
6:02 Even with no sound you can recognize My Hero song...simply amazing
Genius
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
As a drummer and a lover of all things Lego, this was absolutely awesome and well worth it! Congrats on this!
As a.

Me at 3AM:
Me to
Not really playing a drum but activating a synteticer but still Amazing
4:15 "THERE GOES MY HERO!"
"WATCH HIM AS HE GOES"
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!
My thoughts exactly
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.
I think I love you. As a drummer and gadget man, I really appreciate the effort and skill that went into that.
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!
Everything I love about life in one video.
Drums. Lego. Soldering. Animation. MIDI.
thanks for always providing a balanced and thoughtful view! ⚖️
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.
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?
"TAKE THIS LARS" Got a chuckle out of me
Songs that I recognised immediately: Taylor Swift -Shake it off (4:42), Blink 182 - First date (4:56), Chop Suey - System of a Down (5:06), Toto - Africa (5:21)
This dude's an engineer, video maker and now a musician! What's next?
Painting?
Definitely dominos..
Building a rocket out of Lego that can fly to the moon
you forgot about physics (vortex, sphere)
😁
The thing is, there is 1 type of question you can ask..
Is it possible for lego to do .... (a certain task) ?
with electric Lego motors and lego gears and such, your imagination is the only limitation :)
the programming system is identical to the Marble Machine's programming system and i love that.
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
Whole idea, execution and videography was amazing. What really earned my like though was Song 2 being Song 2.
5:05 chop suey! Let’s go
WAKE UP.
GRAB A BRUSH AND PUT A LITTLE MAKEUP.
HIDE THE SCARS TO FADE AWAY THE SHAKE-UP.
WHYD'Y LEAVE THE KEYS UPON THE TABLE?
HERE YOU GO CREATE ANOTHER FABLE.
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! 😂
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!
From the rhythm of clicks alone and not even thinking, song 2 was already playing in my head.
Amazing, love the programming belt @wintergatan and I’m impressed with how tight the timing is - it stays on the beat.
This is amazing man. The design, construction, integration, and performance are just amazing.
LOVE song 2 being song 2
that's freaky insane !!
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
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
this drummer is always on time and cant get too wasted or hooked on drugs. 🤘🏻🍻
The LEGO cat at 3:50 is so well crafted it almost looks real
The clips and sounds editing are astonishing ! Amazing job, thanks for the sharing 😊
Fun _and_ fascinating. You nailed all the elements of a great video from idea to execution. Great work!
5:21 I TASTE THE RAIN DOWN IN AAAAFRICAAA
It can't be
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.
