    In 2023, when they did this piece live, Matt played a full drum set and they didn't have the dancers. It was awesome either way!

    They have always had a "let Kevin flex" moment in shows. First started rather modest with "just" celloboxing a piece. Now they are up to these kind production (even added a Matt flexing moment with full drumset recently). They are usually in the background naturally since they are doing the foundation so I love that they have full segment to let loose and awe the people who are not as musically enclined and would otherwise miss out the magic they are doing throughout the show!

    I saw this in concert twice, and on both occasions, Kevin (and Matt and the dancers) got a very long and enthusiastic standing ovation. The dancers here are Cost & Major, a married couple of dancer/choreographers with a quite famous tiktok channel. They have become good friends of the band, Scott in particular, as he shows up in their tiktoks dancing with them from time to time (because Scott has the energy of 47 people and is everywhere doing everything always, lol). They danced throughout the Christmas Extravaganza concert. Pentatonix definitely creates a very different vibe between their summer concert tours and their Christmas tours. For Christmas they dress more formally and often have extras, like the dancers, and are a little more dramatic in their presentation. The summer shows are a bit more casual and less pageant-y, (no judgement of either, I love both!). I'm sure you will be getting the recommendation for what they did the following year, if you haven't already. Kevin re-arranged and sampled Pentatonix's Grammy winning Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, calling it "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy REIMAGINED" in the live stream video on RUclips. Matt joined in again, this time with a full drum kit and some live singing. Again, live it was absolutely mind-blowing. I liked it even more than Kevin's Fifth in some ways. One of the nice things about the first time I saw Kevin's Fifth live, is that they showed video of him playing all the recorded string parts on accoustic cello up behind him on the stage. Great reaction! (checked out the whole thing on Patreon)

    Seeing kevin do this live in person is really incredible. He gets standing ovations every time he does his cello part during a ptx show and i even think he has one better than this. Kevin and Matt doing dance of the sugar plum fairy re-imagimed at their Christmas tour brings the house down even more. Plus Matt's on a full drum set and really goes for it. I recommend that for your next kevin reaction.

    Cost 'n Mayor are the two dancers with Kevin; they accompanied and performed during the PTX 2022 Christmas tour, as well as performing in the music video for Kid On Christmas with Meaghan Trainor.
    In Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy Reimagined (which might be slightly more your cup of tea), Matt uses a full drum kit, rather than the two toms and the drum pad he used in this version. I think PTX/Kevin/Matt may have wanted to see how the audiences would react before they decided to drag around a full drum kit on tour!

    No you just didn't! I'm so thrilled you did this. I relate to this piece so freaking much as a violist and drummer. I know I've shared with you that I can't capture instrumentals very well, but this is no problem.
    Whenever I watch this video, I say to myself, "this was written just for me. Best piece of arranged music for a hearing impaired/deaf person that played the viola and drums."
    Absolutely, a 100% spot on, analysis. Your facial expressions were all over the map. It was really fun watching you do this one.
    Be well!

    This is not the only version of Kevin beatboxing to Beethoven’s Fifth available on YT. If you look for “Kevin Olusola From the Top,” you’ll find a 17-year-old Kevin performing at NYC’s famed Carnegie Hall for the PBS series From the Top, a nationally-broadcasted show that highlighted young musicians. He is there playing saxophone, but after, the host has him beatbox the Fifth as a “penalty” for him being just too darn good.

    Kevin’s being so many instruments here at once 🔥🔥🔥
    The guy is such a powerhouse of musical ideas.
    And to combine playing with dancing and beatboxing in one performance, man that’s something…!!
    LOVED his rhythmical bow chops, the vast repertoire of sounds colours he’s got - and when he comes in with that break! - I thought it was a friggin electric guitar at first 🔥😱🔥
    When I saw the title I thought he might’ve discovered a new interval discovered, ‘Kevin’s Fifth’, sort of Jacob Collier-style 😉
    Instead this was one fire piece, with the most engaging mix of different genres…
    Thanks for the breakdown of this performance. It was interesting and covered so many aspects of this crazy performance 👍
    Coming from classical music performance, geeking out like this is my kind of jam :)
    In the same league as Pentatonix, Voces8 and so many other great contemporary ensembles is Swedish Fusion trio Dirty Loops.
    If you have a minute, check them out.
    Two pieces in particular might be interesting to you: “Next to You” and “Work Shit Out”.
    The craftsmanship of all these three guys (vocals/piano, bass and drums) is out of this world.
    And like this cat here, they effortlessly mix genres (from classical to RnB, funk, jazz, gospel and beyond) to create mindblowing music. Jaw-dropping stuff.
    Links to those two pieces below.
    Thanks and cheers, my friend 👍🙏✌️👌

    Also Natural Disaster live performance where Avi hit a very low note that he almost broke the speakers, and Hit The Road Jack live performance is the one that Avi really broke the speakers.
    They have a lot of popular live performance, there's also one that they sing in a room without any microphone and still sounds so good.
