WULF - medieval bagpipes and drums

[MrKuznar]

43 people wanted a video with a wolf but can't spell.

[mightymite95]

The small Drum is a Darbuka, right?

[metalpiper]

@mightymite95 - yep darbuka..

[MrSheliak]

Is a djembe a medieval drum ? - I can see it in this movie - the drummer on the right plays it.

[metalpiper]

believe it or not... USA. In Ohio to be more specific. The problem is WULF needs another piper. I would love to create a band with 2 or 3 pipers and 2 drummers.

I cant believe this was 4 years ago. lol

You can find Wulf on facebook

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

[johnski101stabn]

My last name is Loveland. I'm the son of a guy with a YouTube account

[KielerSchlamperich]

danke!

[jakethesnake10000]

lmao this is sweet

[aibobull]

maravilloso video exelente algo similar a corvus corax. yeah !! saludos desde México

[BlackCatCara]

I hope that one day I can play the An-Dro that way.. *sigh*

[SandmanForestwalker]

So I just need to find a drummer and I have a band. How cool is that!

[svantiii]

nice music,

the horns are a bit large though

[aquamarinedream]

get music! 

[Gogasa]

What´s the name of this music genre? I have been looking for it for months!

[lago4]

This is totally BADASS!!

[mammal46]

Simply bitchen!

[nlh1010]

fuck this shit is sooo dumb!! idiots wake up!

[reptilianism420]

@nlh1010 u should at least say why

[reptilianism420]

oh, and those horns are fvcking awsome!

[reptilianism420]

those r some cool white ppl. does this band Wulf see themselves as pagan, as non-christian? because i know christianity was strong in medieval europe. i also like how medieval europe was not all colonial, terrorizing native ppls of the world.

[ruiseartalcorn]

Great!!! :)

Ruiseart. 

[19Harald94]

Ha, Ogrodzieniec xD

[Aspanaut]

Sounds like saxon tune

[Alusdrann]

I watch this video over and over and I dont know am I more fascinated by the music or by the fact that he is one of the knights who says NEE!!

[zombie19844891]

When you hear this in a castle in england in the middle of the night, i would sleep thee :P

[TREWIS84CZ]

Beautiful - really nice. Good work guys!

[metalpiper]

Hailsa! Wulf is going to be recording through the winter 2010. The cd is going to be an epic production designed for movies, games and an audience that loves big tribal beats, with layered wind instruments and strings. I've added Bouzouki and you may hear some harp as well.

Thanks for all the great comments good and bad they are all taken to heart for us to learn from. - cheers, Drogo Wulf

[metalpiper]

@monsieurLAmourde - vielen Dank mein Freund...

[GORRRILLA]

Is this Pakistani rock?

[metalpiper]

@GORRRILLA this is actually a French/Breton tune named Andro which is a type of dance in Brittany. There is an actual name for it but I do not have that. Unfortunately we play several Andro tunes that remain nameless. Most American bands that play these tunes often call them by the dance name. I hope it doesnt offend the wonderful people of Brittany.

[sdevoyon]

Great music ! Congratulation from a french man =)

[onebad67tempest]

Whats with the helmet and horns. You need to take some more lessons..

[metalpiper]

@onebad67tempest - this was several years ago. I got rid of the helmet shortly after and paid more attention to piping. It's very hard to organize/manage a decent band and be able to play pipes at the level of some bands like Vivorus Temporus, Fabula, Varius Coloribus etc. I spend most of my time chasing down decent drummers and teaching them. I do not prefer to pipe alone. I'd rather acompany a great piper with shawm and pipes. Highland pipers so far have been unable to play these pipes.

[corbicula]

AHHAHA NICE HAT! =D

[darksoleil1010]

Brilliant! Love the drumming with the pipes, almost hypnotic.

[metalpiper]

@darksoleil1010 - Vielen Danke!

[Smashedsmurf]

haha thats a meatshot 8)

[Broadsidejohn]

Great stuff. I suppose I am different because I love medieval music. It is totally visceral. Thanks for the posting!!!

[metalpiper]

@Broadsidejohn - Thank you brother! I feel the same!

[PoziracDeti]

btw what drums they use? djembe?

[metalpiper]

@PoziracDeti - djembe, tupan/davul, doumbek, darabuka........anything Turkish, African or Egyptian!!!lol

[FattyEffect]

very nice piece of medieval music

[LaNt6]

waw!!! that's very cool!

[Figliodellorda]

great!!!!

[IamaRifle]

That is one wicked set of pipes.

[ghostwolf47]

Awesome video. I'd love to get a copy of this song!

[nergalsmom]

You guys rock!

[bigjune9]

I want to add this to my distance running soundtrack. So gritty! It makes you want to make war with your mind. LOL

[metalpiper]

@bigjune9 - LOL!!!

[Shian222]

love it , good trance music

[elvenwishes]

I love this it is totally awesome but anything with the pipes I love but this is so mesmerising to say the least.

[metalpiper]

@elvenwishes Thanks.... go to our myspace and listen to Carpo Caelum. I love that tune. I am going to put that tune on the new cd for 2010....it will be different though...slightly.

[shivagoddessIV]

REALLY GREAT WISH TO DANCE TO THIS ONE !

[joeskelly123]

castles in america ? never thought of that must be replicas of ones from europe the natives didnt build castles :P wonder if they did even build any buildings

[Meshelsidek]

@joeskelly123

They did indeed.

[metalpiper]

@joeskelly123 The man that built this one was a medieval architectural major. He saved French Royalty in WWII thus was knighted. His lifes passion was to built his own castle home....and he did. It took over 50 years. Great story...google. it.

[Aquarianbrass]

@joeskelly123

Wow, I'm sorry but that has to be one of the most ignorant comments ever.

No they didn't build castles but yes, like all folks, they did build buildings.

[lorddragonis666]

@joeskelly123 Actually, I'm local to the castle in question. A guy built it on his own, brick by brick, and it's no replica. It's from his own mind. I used to sword fight outside of it.

[666satanification666]

This is immense. Sitting here listening to this, drinking mead from a horn and fletching an arrow I've made from scratch. It feels good. You guys are amazing.

[MrBlacki69]

Great music! Very gooooood!!!!

[metalpiper]

@MrBlacki69 Danke Mr Black. appreciated!

[Zoootex]

very cool

[pipenissen]

omg nice! i want to have it on a CD :)

[Arfme]

is that a gaita?

[Ropieroo]

Nee! 5/5

[Kogerii]

You could definitely rap to that rhythm. Imagine a pair of medieval bards who called themselves Epic Rhymes.

[lilibetmoore]

that is truely awesome!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Armydillo22602]

omg.. that was so over the top! Fantastic - I hope when I get to the gates of Valhalla there are three guys like you waiting to greet me. The Breton an dro has such an exotic flavor compared to the familiar bright Irish and Scottish pipe tunes - perfect for a medieval or ancient sound! Well done!

[diaboarder]

lol cool

[IrishLincoln]

Wow....they even have smoke

[RodrigoMetal87]

yeah yeah, too intense for me xD

[chialeux514]

The horns are too much. Unless he's... Oh my God, ( gulp ) he's... one of the knights who say "NEE" !!!

[dansedufeu]

@ Chialeux514 ROFL! We want ... a shrubbery!

[metalpiper]

@chialeux514 ...Yeah...the horns were a bit much so I got rid of those. I have since toned down the wardrobe and expanded the music.

[metalpiper]

@chialeux514 - the black knight? Instead of drums they should beat coconuts!

[Intenves]

allaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

a7'o mniooookeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[TheSAndik]

geile musik ;=)

[Mrdukerockefeller]

I did not know a tam tam was scotish Lmao

[lacvillesk]

This is rather a Nordic folk melody than a Scottish one. Plus the Tam Tam is an universal musical instrument with variations in shape. WUUULF !

[glazik74]

Lacvillesk, this is neither a scottish neither a nordic song, but really a breton one, "Bonsoir maître de maison" indeed, made famous by the legend band Sonerien Du. Type in the words in Youtube, and you will understand !!!

[metalpiper]

Thanks! I have always known this tune as an "AN DRO" which for everyone else is a type of Breton dance. Nice to hear the specific name. We like it and the bellydancers like it. - Drogo

[7Matahari7]

i have yet to find referance of a european hand drum like a djembe or a darabuka. Tamborine and frame drums yes, but if anyone can show me usage of other hand drums please do.

[Jwbagz21]

that guy playing the pipes with that viking looking thing on would scare the bitch bags outta me in real life lol...this sounds great!

[Eifengard]

you mean the guy that took on a random helm with horns on??? *coughs* that isn't a viking looking thing....

[Schmidt1942]

lol

[NatureLover987]

excellent music... who's the hot drummer on the right??

[metalpiper]

Well, this video was a last minute thought when we were there. I had no idea it would get 100k hits. Our new vids from the Applefest are much better. You'll see us alot at the castle next year. We'll be playing at least once a month. Cheers Cliner98! - Drogo

[metalpiper]

Hey guys, thanks for all the great comments. Wulf has since evolved a bit. Check out the new videos I just uploaded 7 more including tribal drumming clips. There are bellydancers as well....oohlala!

cheers - Drogo Wulf

[IrishLincoln]

For a second I thought this was an old school redition of Beyonce's "Single Ladies", but I'm plastered as usual.

[xauq]

play's wulf on a gaita?

[xauq]

i love this sound!!

[chronos46]

I really like this .. I like things that have bagpipes and kind of cheerful or not sad something fun that you could dance too or send to someone in the spirit of fun .. thanks for posting

[marcelitobrane]

it is quite bizarre!

[666Hraesvelgr666]

scheiß deutsche türken

[esurlo]

Percussions Orientales qui dénotent dans le contexte

[metalpiper]

Thanks for the kind words everyone....this is a couple years old. I'll post some new vids soon. I have been busy with other things but now I am producing two cd's over the fall and winter. We have festivals to play at so I will post some of those videos soon. - cheers, Drogo

[aimhoff82]

wow wulf is good is that the piper ?

[madaxe606]

Fantastic stuff! The piper's helmet really sells it. :)

[bladestormviking]

very good! my compliments

[amigodetodas]

tocan muy bien

[alayadeluce]

I get very emotional when I hear bagpipes...something bad must have happened in one of my past lives that they subconsciously remind me of.

[doctorwholordotime]

they look like migets hahahahah "to me at least"

[TheGupp19]

Cool :D

[MistressAvalon]

Well done Wulf !

OOXX,  Mistress Avalon

[priestof1]

I am from the island Crete, bagpipes are in me as well.

[fx02zbn]

You can have them removed surgically !

[priestof1]

wow huh you know i kind of got to take that one now don't i? just didn't think anyone would write something like that but oh well.

[Crissbaby2008]

I'm part Irish and part Scottish so the pipes are a part of me, always have been, always will be.

[Ragnar360]

They had youtube back in the medieval days?

Haha kiddin ;)

[priestof1]

good one

[LiftedElephant]

holy shit you live in loveland!!!!!!!

were abouts mate?!?

[darwenn62]

Waooo Goldorak is a good piper :)

[vansinnesvisor131]

I love the piper... he has the most bad ass looking costume, ideal for scaring the shit out of any kid, but he has a choreography and dances along with his music... SURREAL!!

[KL437]

Except they never wore horns. "sword catchers". Helmets were conical and designed to glance the sword.

[mbubrik]

ez de szaar:D

[lilibet939]

pipes and drums, for me- perfect!

[ELMUDZAHEDIN123]

best music i heard in my life

[Subjugator1866]

dont care for the hand drums, but the pipes in minor sound awesome, good song

[tinroofbusted]

Feels like home to me friends, so I guess the horns are nothing to me.

[dominustenebra]

yea la mejor musica yea buenos tambores y la gaita sexual

[chumchumthegreat]

Loving the huge drone

[RscorpioMtl]

man a feel like raving right now

[snakeintheshadow]

jeabo0adhd...middle eastern music?

not really...

as for the instruments absolutely not...but maybe the chant is mid-eastern....if it comes to that i´m not sure so you could be right...

[Aquarianbrass]

This type of sound is very similar to what you find in the middleeast and North Africa. And the drums could be from Africa.

Bagpipes are found all over as well.

[Subjugator1866]

as far as hand drums and pipes yeah, but as far as the notes and phrasing its 100% euro

[piperbob2]

Gothic!  Great!

[Folkwang777]

ahahahhah xD

what a helmet like form cartoons for children x}

[pinsandevils]

not really, helmet like from when people used to cut other peoples heads off for shits and giggles

[Folkwang777]

How can u cut head with horn ?

What army had that helmets ?

IF somebody had that kind of helmet probably it was 1 warrior to 10000

[calicheSCOT]

The Teutonic knights often used horns in their helmets to make them look scary. Dare say it did the trick as well.

[WillieMst]

If that rushes towards you with a bloody war axe? Definitely.

[Folkwang777]

I know more scary troops than cowardly and honorless teutonic bastards.

Noone is afraid of losers :)

[calicheSCOT]

I think we all do. A Highland regiment is always notorious for scaring the enemy shitless.

[Folkwang777]

U right :) Scottish highlanders was a lot more scary.

Polish Hussars was quite shocking.

Vikings was the most scary i think :P

But teutons pfff x]

[ethickca]

yha there are way more scary pepole in the wourld like my sis when she wakes up lol or highlanders are scary to

[Darathath]

hehe

[ethickca]

yha lol if you see a zombie with a straitener and a salted pickle in the morning then ether a) it is my sister then abadon all hope and run for she will eat your soul or b) it is a real zombie and then you have nothing to fear

[Darathath]

even more heheier XDXD

[Crossbowman]

Doubt you would say that in front of a teuton.

[Folkwang777]

Nothing easier. give me similar equipment to theirs to equal the chances/ Mine country acutally crashed them :}

[magichands1982]

WOW!!!! What is the name of that instrument, and where can I find one???

[Otacon144]

...it's a bagpipe...

[magichands1982]

Yes, it is a bagpipe, however there are a hundred different variations, styles and names for the different type of bagpipes. This one is a medieval bagpipe called a dudelsack... i found the abswer already, but thanks for your help

[Halbostfriese]

Dudelsack is just the Gerrman translation of bagpipes.

This one is either a Marktsack or Kleiner Bock. Both quite common at that times.

[jeabo0adhd]

Sounds like middle eastern music.

[metalpiper]

Hey folks....I appreciate the comments you have all left for us. This is pretty old so if you want to hear some new tunes check out our myspace page....just search for WULF. We should still be the first hit it pulls up. Sorry, but the great helm is no longer as I have basically become a solo act and restructured the garb a bit. If interested I need a tupan player/bass drummer and another piper/ shawm player as well. Wulf needs to be a full band again. cheers - Drogo

[nathanam123]

Haha the guy on the right is like "oh yeah... Wulf" in a whimper.

[metalpiper]

that was probably because he was under the influence of something...ehem...lol

[Szum666]

awesome love bagpipes

[paul1060]

this is BADASS ,ide love to get a CD

[ArkaneOmega]

needs more cowbell.

I've got a fever, and the only cure is more cowbell

[Legume666]

Dabke!

[Otacon144]

Irish Warpipes! I love those things! :D

[Chow2Productions]

I love the pipe's helmet/mask thing. Great sounds and great performance!

[Aussie901]

well done lads very nice

[78dal78]

There is a castle in OHIO?!

[wingedavenger8]

yea dude Thats exactly what I thought

[paleologue]

wow...there was a certain carnie quality about that whole setup. It was certainly worth a good laugh.

[stonebear82]

Exalent palying

Nice outfits

Great location

but what was with the little "Wulf" at the end... Not knocking you guys at all, but was that really needed? It just made me laugh.

[TheWhitefisher]

nice hat

[xristar]

the sound is pretty balkanic, though the tune isn't. *favorited*

[takamines45]

i like a lot this music and performance, can somebody tell me please what kind of bagpipe is or the name of it?

[metalpiper]

Hailsa, the bagpipes are German Dudelsack made by Jens Guntzel. Check out my latest video of WULF at the Michigan Renaissance Festival 2008.

ciao - Drogo Wulf

[Ballyvourney]

VERY BEAUTY VIDEO AND MUSIC!

thanks

[emgduncanman]

we are the knights of nee!!!!

[kingofkards91]

Do they have a website. I had no idea Breton music was so cool!

[Rmg12]

breton music is from brittany. Bretons descend from the cornish and welsh when the celts fled england and wales. The welsh had some bagpipes from the irish, inturn the scottish.

[tacfoley]

Rmg12 - sorry to have to put you right, but the Bretons, the Welsh and the Cornish are all the same people - Brythonic Celts, that is why the languages are mutually intelligible. Great Britain is called that because it was the larger of the two Brythonic P-Celtic-speaking areas, and Lesser Britain, now called Brittany, was the smaller. Please feel free to check out your history. Britanny has NEVER been populated by fleeing Celts from anywhere else.

Teordal Ui Foghlaidhe

[metalpiper]

I have played highland pipes, Irish and French biniou kozh, veuze and bombard. By far my personal favorite are the Breton tunes. So much emotion and the dance tunes are godly!!! BTW - I'm primarily WELSH. cheers - Drogo Wulf

[ssjadam]

wtf is Wulf? lol people at the end saying it kinda ruined the whole thing

[eKjen]

putain ça gère sévère!! amazing, love it ! !

[metalpiper]

Yep, from Ohio USA. It's interesting to say the least. We look barbarian/viking, german pipes, african/middeleastern drums, and a Breton tune. We mix it up because we perform with a lot of tribal bellydancers and fire artists.

[avp007]

there seems to be arabian/indian influence in this, i really like, blends 2 things, sounds great

[kingofkards91]

I agree, the Gaels were more eastern than they're often given credit for.

[salinagrrrl69]

This sounds so middle eastern like Egyptian Veil dance music.
