[mat55ful]

was für ein fake.

das funktioniert doch nie so gut

[jjgonline91]

How many have you made? I'm sure this is different to the first one I saw

[valvetrom]

Phil Dadson from the FROM SCRATCH in NewZealand used PVC tubes in the 1980 They were more or less a bit inclined from the horizontal ca 4 inch in Diameter up to 6 m long and hit by sandals.

I wouldn't be surprised if the ABOs in Oz hit their didgeridoos too for special effect.

[TheEvaFreak]

you should have you're own company that makes these....oh and how long did it take you to make PVC 2.0?

[pixalhao]

TALENT

cumps from portugal

[GLOBALHAWKsimpit]

This is great !!! It is a PVC DRUMORGAN !!!

Nice playing skills. You should create a band playing PVC instruments.

call it "The Plumbers" or "Pipe People" or "SKIP a BIT" a.k.a. Premature Ventricular Contraction or PVC - lol (sorry for medical humor)

I'm serious. I would buy a ticket to see the show.

Good job !!!

[DudeBen90]

Such a genius idea, sounds just so unique. Couldn't help but laugh for the last 10 a

Seconds, looks like you're doing a funny dance aha

[TheBaTMoNsTeR]

This is the first video I've seen with 300+ thumbs up and 0 thumbs down.

EPIC TALENT.

[spencerschwieterman]

I know you're getting a ton of questions about this but I'm assuming that there is some sort of way you found out that a PVC pipe with a diameter of "x" needs to be cut "x" length to raise it 1 semi-tone. How did you go about finding that out? Trial and error? Equations? This is very interesting to me.

[SongS1ng]

nice

[CrisisShinigami]

I can only assume you play this all by ear, considering I've never seen any PVC sheet music...how long does it take you to figure these songs out? This is awesome, by the way. :)

[personwithheart1]

i have one word-- awesome!

[2GR84NE1]

YOU HAVE GOT TO PLAY "BEVERLY HILLS COP THEME SONG" !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zlt3po]

O.o you play marimba or something don't ya? xD

[Deltamon]

Love his facial expressions.. He's like a scared cat all the time D:

[QL7176]

Dude, im from Madeira Island, Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo's neighbor. I have to tell you that that's one of the coolest and most spectacular thing i ever seen. You've got loads of talent. Keep on pal.

All the best. You will get far.

Take care

[Puffypenguin1]

!!!!! thats sooo cool! how long did it take for you to learn that? soooo coollll!!!!

[luangu]

Damn good....stay with it! 

[JustinForLive45]

Great respect for you!

[DJTripleThreat78]

A suggestion for you (unless you've already thought about this): Make the ends you strike removable in case they crack or break, you can easily replace them. Also it would be cool if you could get different heads so you can change them out to get different sounds... I know it wouldn't be a quick process but it would allow you to experiment with different sounds.

[Graffitiaintcrime]

Stop looking at the camera!

[Indeso]

Damn, love this thing, construct one to me :) i'll pay the cost and leave some tip, that's just amazing!

[D84D]

Minimum you'll have musical artists purchasing this product.

[ditisappelsap]

AMAZING HOW YOU PLAY

[philbertmill2]

if you commercialise this instrument you can make a fortune, I bet there is many people how would want one, I know I would, it seems so fun to play!!!

you should seriously think about it mate :)

[qctomh]

can't like your vids enought !!!! keep up the good work

[AznGLova]

Awesome. Wow, I'm willing to buy if I had a billion dollars.

[drumtommyful]

sick.thats awesome.

[snubbyj]

@Katya594 That's 2 questions :-P Haha that's cool, though. I was inspired by Blue Man Group to make it and my dad helped me in building it.

[TheOriginalLight12]

@snubbyj blue man group has nothing on you man

[austinmckay]

You sir are a genius

[slurpoo]

Thats pretty sick, did you make it yourself? if so how long did it take?

[Nogert]

how did you get the pipe sizes correcrt for each note

[DieBlutgrafin]

This is sorta like a cross between a hammered dulcimer and an accordion

[swishhes]

this is one of the greates ideas i have ever seen:O

[MrQuinnbilly]

how much did it cost to make the first one

[snubbyj]

@MrQuinnbilly The main section for this instrument alone cost close to $400 to make

[cosmos21ful]

@snubbyj hay soooo why in the heck did the blue man group not gie you a call back i mean hell you could show them up AND YOU ARE ONE PERSON THEY ARE THREE!!!!

[cosmos21ful]

@snubbyj hay soooo why in the heck did the blue man group not giVe you a call back i mean hell you could show them up AND YOU ARE ONE PERSON THEY ARE THREE!!!!

[Collosus210]

@cosmos21ful because then he would have to shave his head!! LMAO imagine that!

[Widge4life]

@cosmos21ful Because Blue Man Group is a job just like any other. They will employ people based on their skills, their back grounds, and their education. They encourage people who are young to finnish college and then come back and audition after they've graduated. Plus they want to hire people with more life experience than recent high school graduates.

[TheRealEric31415]

what are the mallets?

[GermaniX3]

Verry cool and greats from germany

[0MusicBox0]

You do a pretty amazing job. Do you cover the ends of the pipes with something, like on a drumkit?

[snubbyj]

@0MusicBox0 Nope, all of the pipes are open ended at each end ;-)

[snubbyj]

@Katya594 Thank you ;-) Just search for "America's Got Talent Kent Jenkins" and you should be able to find a video of my audition

[xBACONBITZx]

how many of these have you made?

[snubbyj]

@xBACONBITZx Just this original PVC Instrument and the PVC 2.0 for college ;-)

[snubbyj]

@Katya594 It takes a while to get the right technique, but I've been playing it for over 3 years now, so it's pretty easy for me.

[2TREZ]

NICE DUDE!! COnGratz!!

[Kigoz4Life]

how much does that instrument cost?

[snubbyj]

@Kigoz4Life The main section alone cost close to $400 to make

[jossuch]

You're GREAT, keep up the good work!
