duracell - Space Harrier + Turrican

[SonicRSVids]

So win.

[Rahrhino]

I just realised that my leg has been gyrating frantically throughout watching this XD

[johnboykfc]

shake that pedal leg! Faster than a speeding bullet!

[radicalewok]

lol you can tell this is England. Just a bunch of white guys awkwardly tapping their feet and one really drunk guy going mental in the crowd. Exactly what I do at every gig I go to.

[lipteeth]

holy mother of fucking hell that is the most awesome thing i've seen all week

[bokkpokk]

The dude dancing wins. Whatever ye stiffnecks say about him says more about you than it does say about him. :)

[64mangrove]

Does anyone know whar gear he use? How do he get the beat of the bassdrum to a signal that sounds like a bass?

[zackhall]

@64mangrove

Midi triggers.

[tokagehideto]

@64mangrove on andré diamant's website you can read this :

"equipment ; bass drum, snare drum, floor tom, all with triggers (cheap piezo pickups).triggers go into mixer for preamp, then into a clavia nord modular G2 , back into the mixer into an EQ>power amp>speakers. The G2 is a digital modular synth that looks like a simple faceless rack and is pretty useless without a computer, that's why there's a laptop behind me, running the G2 software."

[dopeythebarbarian]

despite from that guy, the musics really great. its somehow just thrashing at hihat and toms, and some beeping, but it sounds cool as fuck

[problemerfinder]

Concerto for laser and enemies

[BloomStep]

lol.. drugs.

[Anactofgod]

He looks like he's mentally retarded learn to fucking dance not like autism if you don't want to be laughed at on the internet.

[obed1g1]

so wat?? if i was high and drunk i would be dacning 2! so what? think about this... he doesnt giv a fuck what u guys thinK..... So shut the fuck up!!!!!

[Guitarsthatkill]

8:15 for the ultimate win in the universe.

[arrangyo]

The guy dancing is most definatley a virgin.

[sidewayzskillz]

i bet everyone who lives within a mile of him hates him lol :D

[kithargrave]

this guy is immense, i saw him last week in hull and WOW

[KevinBrownsvideos]

Nice!

[MrVaultkeeper]

love the sound, epic XD

[postalgbv]

sounds like Quasi, especially the beginning of Turrican

[thoraxsabre]

If the guy was dancing somewhat on beat we wouldn't be making fun of him.

[2burp2]

i cant find the song

[TiagoIsLove]

heelll yeeaaah!

this dude is so sick

[MarcelSerbassen]

I love this guy, even I don't know him... but his skill is great...

[fa11enSeraphim]

my ears just got raped and i fucking loved it !

[ruisasama666]

[MrSambaboy]

1:30 to 1:33, what an epic moment! :D

[nickj5]

7:55 onwards.... EPIC

[patreepatree]

lol i like the guy that dances to the right..

awesome vid btw

[Pszichopark]

It would be a great pleasure to have André in Hungary, at Budapest, for example at the Gödör Klub...XD

[XazorozaX]

He must have muscle's in his arms : P

AWESOME !!!!!!!!

[mellowmarshmel]

@XazorozaX what a unique individual!!! ive never met a person with muscles in there arms b4!!! haha jk

[BootsPickles]

This isn't Andre Duracell. Andre has long hair and is french.

[c4rver3]

maybe he got a haircut and speaks english Oo

[MarcelSerbassen]

He is my hero!

[Whoopz0r]

Mine too! <3

[beautifulxerbia]

SICKEST!!!!!!!!

[znarfblatt]

fucking ownage

[AcidPanda]

i love the guy dancing haha

[harmsolidsnake]

@AcidPanda its me, thanks for your recognition

[greenbirdd]

this is too awesome

[kureibagus]

damn...awesome..

[Chodechinian]

Does he just use drum triggers and some type of synth pedal?

[Mekoa]

Id guess dB based drum triggers to play a specific note via synth and a secondary trigger on a tom tom to switch the synth note set. From watching its possible each drum may have a specific sequence of notes to play also. Played live in Edinburgh last year and I missed him :(

[BullAkesson]

he draw first blood!!!!!!!!

[VOYAGERnissie]

Get Ready!!

[ReZ2436]

Brilliant :) No other word for it, just the best ! My respect goes out to the guy for nealy dying for his art by playing at that intensity !

[zumdidum]

The Space Harrier Theme is IMO one of the most epic Game Soundtracks ever made!

[srjmaybank]

i live across the road from this venue.........turrican is hauntingly good

[mattty3030]

@ angelospencer1 - yes, Barden's is in London

[junosucked]

love this

[AnalogX64]

Very Cool!! and I like the guy on the right showing support and dancing.

[mexicanninj]

Hadouken!!!!!

[dub97gt]

this shit is the bomb

[binary1230]

INSANE

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Not really space harrier, it's the theme from the first level.

[boobtube356]

awesome

[terrahawk123]

Why are people mocking the guy on the right? He's obviously enjoying himself.. leave him to it :)

[Omegado]

Indeed, they should rather mock everyone else being so lame in the presence of the almighty Duracell.

[terrahawk123]

lol Omegado.. i couldnt agree with you more.

[mattcarrproject]

because they're the kind of people who would only start dancing if everyone else, and are more concerned about what people think than having a good time.

[analogueak]

mmuuuuaaahahahahahahh!!!! yes yes yes yes

[hmp22]

Anyone else completely not notice the dancing guy on the right because they were too busy looking at Duracell being awesome?

[HappyDude777]

This is so cool!!! My faith in music has restored.

[jweinrub]

That was one awesome beat!!

[kainoedland]

the guy on the right makes me happy in my tummy

[likein69]

someone slap that fucking retard! please.

[korovaz]

free for the drummers worldwide

[MrSambaboy]

What an asshole at the right.

About the video: Winner of the fucking internet, fucking epic, and he's playing the songs fucking great. So it's a big WTF moment :D

[Rinuzzi]

what an asshole at the right.

seconded.

[Anactofgod]

Look at the retard dancing on the edge.

[kryps1]

Look at those groovy cuffs on his pants. lol

[Sabbatai]

@Anactofgod Yeah man, how dare someone be so into the music that they dance to it. I am guessing you don't know how to dance?

[Anactofgod]

@Sabbatai

Well, if you think convulsing in a seizure-like matter is dancing, then that guy is a professional.

[Sabbatai]

@Anactofgod Well if you think dancing is something that should be held to some exacting specification you may not know what dancing is.

He should have had his arms crossed leaning against a wall instead!

[Anactofgod]

@Sabbatai

Don't really give a fuck what you think dancing is. Dancing around like you have a severe case of autism is funny to watch. Unless he really is autistic, because that would make me feel like a dick for laughing.

[Sabbatai]

@Anactofgod I am glad that you can form your own opinions instead of piggybacking on mine or anyone else's.

I wonder if you understand that I too, do not give a fuck what YOU think dancing is and that you are no more "right" by having an opinion on it.

You should feel like a dick anyway because you are abrasive and tactless in your dealings with others.

[Anactofgod]

If you didn't give a fuck what "I think is dancing" you wouldn't have called me out in the first place.

Keep on keeping on man.

[Sabbatai]

@Anactofgod Nah, I really don't care. I mean it doesn't affect me one way or the other. I just thought maybe not being a judgmental prick would appeal to you.

I see now that I am wrong.

[Anactofgod]

Oh yeah man, I bet he's really fucking hurt I called him a retard on youtube, I better say something nice about him to keep him from going off the deep end. It's the internet friend, nobody cares.

[lordmcted]

@Anactofgod he's not a retard, he is having a good time, lets see you have the balls to just cut loose no matter how daft you look

[Jallandhara]

@Anactofgod It's nerd moshing. No matter what, they will always be alone.

[virtualpear]

@Anactofgod you need to take into account how fucked up people watching this guy play usually are.

[Holydude]

@virtualpear

true and thats all you can really expect from people like that?

still i think he is entitled to his own opinion? though for the one dancing in the vid there i am pretty sure he wasn't expecting to be filmed and put on the net there either so cut the guy a little slack?

[aveffects]

@Anactofgod you wish you could

[25206730nick]

@Anactofgod acid is a powerful drug

[TheBellyheart]

@Anactofgod Having a better time than most the stiffs.

[EpicImports]

I never heard of this guy, found it all by accident. I must say he is very original, would very much like to watch his talent in person. Does anyone know if he does any North American tours?

[Inquatitis]

Sadly he has only performed in Europe so far.

[korovaz]

ma dov'è? quanto costa? lo voglio!!

[MeWantUtubeView]

I've been obsessing over this video for the past week.

[etil2173]

impresionante: ese pibe es un ciclón!!!!!!!

[chipontachipon]

Grande, muy grande....

[sa1utethedead]

Around 5:29 is when I start getting chills. Completely awesome. lol

[ESSENCEOFDP]

this is brilliant.

[lay251]

wiich video game is the first song from?

[Aotommo]

It's from Space Harrier. Awesome game, although I'm terrible at it.

[mexicanninj]

Hadouken!!!!!

[eagillum]

Where is the music coming from? His foot?

[DJTooHypE]

This deserves some respect... wow just unbelievable..!!!

[DJTooHypE]

Those words fit's me exactly the same. Nice work infact wished I could get the link for mp3..

[Shagmelon]

Cool vid. What's wrong with a high-hat though, please Brian Chippendale and drummers like him, and you, Duracell get a high-hat.

[gakyboy]

do ya know what... this is that good id shag it...

[NovoBeatz]

fantastic stuff!

[Jennes123]

oh my god! AWESOME!!!

[KidArch]

this guy is brilliant.

[plawp69]

this video improves my life every day

[aquamon75]

man this dude is gifted with a nuclear energy hahahaha.

[JensFluff]

that guy. in the backround is dancing real wierd

[ESSENCEOFDP]

stoned off his ass

[adrien39150]

Trop bon!!!

[brimhall7]

i always come back to this, after over a year of daily youtube viewing

[valvestat]

nice stuff :) like the way the guys at the front are really into it. i wonder if he's stepping thru a retro game music sequence in a tracker with a drum trigger.

[kinggencha]

BEST. VIDEO. EVER!

[Five5six]

I worship this mofo like the true OldOne he is...

[GadjetUnion]

I need this right now!

[Toshio21]

where can i get this guy's work? :D

[TrueLoveQuotient]

U know what it is - people R energized by his physical movement. U can do EXACTLY the same thing with a simple computer (typing) keyboard - but will someone pay 2 watch U kick ass 'typing'? U could play a lot more than this! (10 fingers :)

[enasi]

It's so much funner to play it with an actual instrument though, you obviously have no idea.

[gnarlsbukowski]

I'd like to see you program a Nord G2. They are for people who know their shit, not dummies. This guy obviously knows his stuff and is not to be fucked with.

[Phonolith303]

Theoretically, you might be right.

It´s "just" triggering, but can you play a drumkit this fast, long and excessive?

Plus, as other people said, the programming of the machine is a competition, too!

[Gameboygenius]

I agree 100% with enasi, gnarlsbukowski and Phonolith303.

It's also about the novelty and he show of what he's doing. Nobody has ever done something like what he's doing - it's an innovative idea. And it's a hell of a show too. Go see him live!

[TrueLoveQuotient]

Sounds like he's triggering that 'THX Player' thingy - 2 play old Comodore-style MAME ROM tunes. Using the drum as MIDI trigger - yawn

Cool 'sound', but would be BETTER WITHOUT his stupid-ass 'drumming'

[enasi]

bass drum, snare drum, floor tom, all with triggers (cheap piezo pickups).triggers go into mixer for preamp, then into a clavia nord modular G2 , back into the mixer into an EQ>power amp>speakers

[poopg3]

hah.....u suck

[firestorm117]

All I can ask is 'WTF is up with the kid in the background having a seizure?'

[CrackedFingers]

I duno i asked the very same thing first time i saw this :S mebbe hes a tad drunk ???

[JeDorsBeaucoupTrop]

This man plays too much retro video games. ;)

The melody of Space Harrier is cool imo.

[41haga]

Greeeeeeeaaaaatttttt!!!!!!!!!

See ya!

Haga

[enasi]

My nose started to bleed a 8:15.

WOW

[smokabababylon]

Ce mec est extraordinaire.

[mintonfilm]

[koworld]

Absolutely fucking ace is that.

[Anfamone]

woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!

[jack193921]

fucking genius

[tothebeyondtn]

IDOLO TOTALE

[Dougthegoat]

This is absolutely crazy, I love it

[mahrard]

Duracell was the live that threw the most energy at me. Sadly I was the only one dancing the blood out of me. All were seated. T'avais scotché les bobos du Montévidéo. Respect André.

Un autre live qui m'a démonté ce fut celui d'unas, du netlabel belge Antisocial. Un ptit gars timide qui envoie grave en 8-bit énervé.

Check the rlz#013 (unas) on antisocial. be .

[hoah]

there are obviously three triggers, he's not great, he fucks up alot. but i still like it. dont get pissy.

[latinfantom]

What an awesome twist down memory lane!!! Space Harrier rocks!

[MetalCrimsonBlack]

wow after 8:10 !!!!!

perfectionated drumwork there

[asdfz0mg]

friggin awesome. i would love seeing this guy live!

[dylan808]

This is crazy.

[RealCatharsis]

Duracell for pres

[Arccor]

Amazing!

[Livmoder]

i really dont like this.. i luv videogamemusic and chip but this sux, really

[fjelltopp]

MUG

[frigoffer]

great show I love it! -Loverless

[meijinproductions]

Very impressive performance! Old computer game music genius. I'd love to know how your set up works, triggering a step sequence on the snare and using the tom for program changes??? I use electronic pads to trigger sounds on a laptop for my live set.

Looks like your audience were loving it too, I joined in the applause at the end of the first one ^_^

I am coming to UK soon and would love to know your live schedule. I found this via the Glitch Night website.

[SeikenXX]

Fantastic.

[Minipimmer]

this is absolutelly awesome

[jontheshredder]

its prolly just me but that sounded like shit

[ogerrob1487]

conisdering your name is jon the shredder, i wouldnt ahve expected you to like something this amazing anyways.

[nopemp3]

you must be a britney spears fan :)

[cracksnake]

fuc.king epic

[saivert]

maybe turned down the recording volume a tad on this???

Well, awesome electrodrumming. And Turrican music rules. Chris Huelsbeck rules!

[comawhite015]

[bodyrock666]
