I remember watching this back in elementary school. The beats were confusing to me, but now as a drummer as well as a percussionist eight years later, I'm glad I was able to literally re-discover this video again. I find it amazing how Animusic put this whole thing together without it sounding like actual drummers. Its like an actual machine that can out-drum humans, if you know what I mean.
A: The sound of the moving gears playing by themselves in the beginning really makes a good beat keeper B: the cowbell sounds like the one person who can't ever keep in time
10 years later, still loving this animation series. We had the disc when I was growing up, and I'd pull it out to watch it once in a while. Good times.
It’s great to come back to this as a high schooler who understands music as I can see all the change in time and interesting rhythms in this animation.the cowbell in the beginning with the delay was just amazing.
Interesting enough, the animusic videos are not made that way. They used a special program designed to make the animations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animusic
@@freegee3503 Wasn't there a point in the commentary track that Wayne mentions the painfully long amount of time it took for the computer to render it to a video?
The rhythms in this song are impossibly fun & catchy. I still remember them as perfectly as when I first saw this about 10 years ago. Long live Animusic
I can definitely see that happening. I just imagine a lever for controlling the main gears, multiple push and pull mechanisms to control the drum sticks and mallets, and two large cranks for the moving parts of the set. Oh, and the lights guy! That would be epic.
So said Christopher Walken on SNL episode w/BOC.RIGHT? Cool. I wander if this is in some way our musical entertainment of the future? Have the realms of humanity taking us this far ?
Animusic was such an important part of my childhood... I still remember seeing the ad for it on tv when we were living in my grandma's basement and i was infatuated, as soon as we had the money, my mother got it for me and we watched it quite alot, im unsure how old i was but it was after i started violin but before we moved into our current house so my guess is around 5 or 6 but that was the day i gained consciousness and look at me now! 21, a performer and composer, and designing a particle system animation to go with live performers... Wow... How things grow and change huh
I remember growing up thinking how cool a gear train like this would be to exist... Now, a future mechanical engineer, I am in a course discussing the mechanics behind gears and the stresses within each gear... Now I don’t like gears anymore...
I remember first listening to this in my 3rd grade band class, and I couldn’t get over the timbale rhythm, I’m now 17 and I still get it it out my head. It’s gonna be my first tat.
Classic steampunk fans are happy because the gears actually look like they _do_ something, as opposed to most superficial "steampunk" stuff nowadays which just has gears glued on randomly.
i think one of the best and most underrated things about this one is the way the stereo panning follows the image--where the sounds come from correspond with the location of their sources, even as the camera moves around
Just now after all this years I realize that the two small gears on top of the two bigger ones that operate the kettledrums at 2:10 are not connected to anything.
One thing I like about Animusic is how there are lil spots on the drums where they get hit, adding to the lore of the possibility that these things happened more than once
Don't rightly know how drummers feel about this one, but as an Earth Scientist, I really enjoy the "nature" sounds- you know rain, thunder, lightning, heartbeat, terror, running, walking, daydreaming......
I cannot hold that sentiment. Gyro drums has more personality, more variation, more memorable beats, and the aesthetic of a sphere of drums is just nicer on the eyes than an industrial machine
I never get these disclaimers. Fair use? You can say that about anything. Fact is, people aren't going to buy the DVDs when they can watch the whole thing on RUclips for free. The makers of Animusic should setup these videos monetized so that they can at least get something for this.
Yeah, but on the DVDs, you get the commentary track. And while I'm not big on audio commentary, I have to say listening to it on Vol. 1 and 2, it really enhanced my experience. They tell you all the little details and such that went into each video and it really makes you appreciate the videos even more. Again, not for everybody, but in this case, I feel like the DVDs are worth the commentary alone.
Yes. Fair use is a legal defense. You can't just say something is fair use and expect that it is sufficient. Also, uploading the entire video to a public video-sharing website is not fair use. Fair use would be an unlisted, clipped video that shows the minimum required to make the point (or a screenshot used in a paper, etc).
unfortunately it's now up to almost two and a half thousand.... The only theory I have as to why people might not like this is because they were shown this by a teacher they didn't like at school, and now they've associated the general aura of that the teacher with animusic, even though animusic is absolutely incredible.
one day I was sitting in music class watching this video I loved it so when I got home watched the rst of the video And I still love this music to this very day !!!!!!!
It seems like every three comments, someone is talking about "there isn't enough cowbell" or "YOU NEED MORE COWBELL GUYS THIS IS LAME OTHERWISE". Let me tell you guys, if there was any more cowbell in this song, it would be garbage. Wayne Lytle used it just the right amount. In fact, I think that if anything, there may need to be a little less of it. It's kind of obnoxious after a while. In many ways, it's kind of like the hi-hat. It keeps time. Except for that one part. But that's in the past. This CD has been out for 16 years now. It's not going to change. Get over it people.

Out of all the Animusic animations, this one was always the one I thought people might ACTUALLY be able to do.
I thought this for Pipe Dreams and this song as well xD
In the DVD commentary for this track, Wayne Lytle said he suspects that this whole structure would not be able to hold itself up under its weight.
i thought that with future retro

Same I was born in 03 and watched this when I was 3 and before I went to Kindergarten.
I love the attention to detail in the video. you can see that this machine does this over and over cause there are ware marks on the drums.

These animusic pieces are eerie, clever and amazing. Very mesmerizing to watch how detailed they are. The musicality is awesome!
Well, there goes my future as a drummer. This thing blows me out of the water
Your future is safe. If they actually built it all you'd hear is the gear noise.
Look up a summer's dream that dude would blow you put of the water
Also it wouldn't collapse, drum don't weigh that much as long as the weight is evenly distributed and the frame is well built
@Tyler Dunphy They still need a drummer to calibrate it's rythm. So, don't fret.

Yessss my grandma has both dvds and we played them so much from when I was like 2-10
I love it. It’s anything a little boy who loves music and mechanical stuff could want.
When someone says drums are never animated correctly:
Don’t know how many years I last watch this, but this is still my favorite
I'm in middle school but and we watched these in band class and they are AWESOME
Респект! Надо же было так заморочиться в 2001!!! В 2024 смотрю - тут косяк ,там косячок, но в общем и целом - Респект!!!
Whats strange to me about this one is that it just sounds so chaotic but it has a rhythm at the same time
This kickstarted my entire journey into amateur clock repair, and for that this track is cemented into my brain forever lmao
Wouldn't it be cool if someone built this for real and made it work?
I can definitely see that happening. I just imagine a lever for controlling the main gears, multiple push and pull mechanisms to control the drum sticks and mallets, and two large cranks for the moving parts of the set. Oh, and the lights guy! That would be epic.
They actually built Pipe Dream, you should look it up.
They made pipe dream in real life its cool search it up
Absolutely.
There is this channel called Wintergatan. He built a machine that is kinda,like how animusic's stuff is but a machine and not animation
I remember choosing this all the time in music class when it was my turn to choose the song. Now I am 14, and running an amazing underrated channel.
