Electronic music has a natural way of incorporating less than typical sounds. a regular drum kit is so overdone, all sounds are beautiful in context and the glass and tin and higher end hollow kick/toms and crash are just as beautiful as any Ludwig set! Huge props!
I think it just has to do with fullness of sound. For instance it's hard to get enough overtones out of a small tin. But historically the only reason we use animal skins and large resonant metal or wood cavities is so that the drum will be heard over the sound of a large orchestra or the trampling sound of people dancing or marching. But with the invention of the microphone, the main argument that remains in favour of large, loud drums is that of sonic fullness. Tins or bottles in comparison, with their thinner sound (more trebly), evoke the intimate sensation of whispering. In compositional practice, they're just two tools with different uses.
@@___xyz___ Interesting! That makes a lot of sense with the history of music for a live audience, small or large. Perhaps it's why Aphex Twin's music sometimes stands out in electronica, many songs including deep percussion to light percussion tones in a textured way. Many older cultures also has a rich history of exploring the tonal range of percussion I'm learning and have had a major influence once explored and incorporated, and studio recording and sampling helped that come together.
@@jtvj8423 I know this probably sounds pretentious as f, but the exploratory nature of RDJ's music always stood out so me as rebellious, if you know what I mean. Probably because he's a highly creative guy he constantly tries to break free from the mediocrity of repetition. That may be one of the most basic reasons why he ends up mixing sounds from wildly different worlds, I think.
the way your hands go outta frame with like every hit make this vid look a million times faster and it makes it hilarious to watch somehow. but also this is very impressive
Also, may I point out that this was nearly 5 years ago. I have since moved ( a few times actually) but may I also emphasise that the rug is no more. I appreciate it's a matter of contention amongst the comments, but in it's defense it used to be a well used gigging rug ( I was a drummer for a band called Drop The Accent, we gigged at least once a week before 2020 happened ) So anyway, leave it alone, it was an ace rug. R.I.P RUG 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I honestly cannot express the gratitude I feel towards all of your kind words of support. It's been truly mind blowing and I truly love you all for it. There's a Fatboy Slim cover featuring the bottles and tins, alongside a plethora of other musical anomalies. From drum videos to covers and original songs. Plus plenty more to come!! Thanks again everyone 💚☯️🤟
Richard will see this. I hope he reads these comments too. If so, he will read about how I figured out the DRUQS album on my 1944 Conover Fairy Grand limited edition piano. I used spoons on the strings and brass bell metal and played the keys too. I wish he would make more sheet music available for his work. It is obviously inspirational for all of us in this thread. Thank you for sharing. I can’t stop watching. Will definitely share.
in the early days this is what youtube was all about. no commercials, merch or monolithic corporation sponsorship. Just ppl vibing and sharing these positive vibes among strangers to brighten their day. Thank you for sharing this x
That metal-side-up tin makes the beautiful sound that we are all after with analog drum machines. Also, I want to start a Go Fund Me campaign to buy you some new pants.
@@cymbaleyes8089 I disagree I love the sound of the tins popping or whatnot... Makes me want to build a machine that could do this.. I would leave it on all day
Love it. This reminds me of a man I met on the street. He made a drum set out of buckets, car lights a shopping cart various bottles of different sizes and a metal lunch tray. He had an extra pair of sticks, so I sat down and played with him. I had never played drums before in my life and the guy was blown away by me. He said "You got rhythm." Maybe that's what got me into making beats, haha.
@@ciarananan i might be basterdizing the process a bit but yes these are common practice techniques. Most of it is done after the sample is already digitized or "sampled", but I do know that adjusting the speeds and compressing is the way to alter samples into sounding differently in the new mix youre creating... look up some videos on how to sample, its really interesting
This looks like the typical Aphex fan's room.
Touché!! 🙃😆
exactly
Truly an ‘us moment’
the good humour reflected is also typical
i think it is somewhere near izhevsk, udmurtia tekno culture, near #compassvrubell or #ryabamutant

Pretty sure that’s a zildjian bell. Sounds just like one.
yeah my drummer has that bell. very loud when struck hard
Yeah Zildjian are by far the best 👌 🙌
Aphex Twin is blowing tf up on the ol' algorithm it seems.
Quite rightly 🤩🙌
Just discovered this treasure.

yes! it has a beautiful sustain
This just proves that the artist makes the instrument. Both literally and figuratively.
Lol the guy saying that that the youtube would recommend this was not lying... absolutely stunning, i love it.
i get really heavy nostalgia vibes from this, idk why but something about the setup and the carpet is just super familiar to me
Me too, early 90s shared house is what I got from it! With a crusty staying on the sofa (that would be me), making people brews and blagging spliffs.
It’s reminiscent of the era from which this song originated.

Nice cover, man... Make use of the surge in traffic coming your way and upload more content like this, it's very entertaining 😁
Thank you, I certainly hope to soon 😊
Is there any chance u could record something like this with just the "drums"? Would be really sick stuff to sample and make music out of
I've recently put up a drum video on the channel. You have my permission to sample if you so wish 😁
you can sample it at different speeds and then compress something here and there in the mix...
