Two Reels (Tin Whistle & Sofa)

[schpeidermann]

10 guys broke their flutes while drumming

ha

[DryeLint]

you can get a really good sofa at a garage sale you just have to look around a lot lots of people sell one or even two thousand dollar sofas for fifty to one hundred dollars also that's not technically a sofa it's a love seat and originates in America great playing rock on

[magoohurn]

Dudes! What kind of sofa are you using? It sounds like an IKEA, but the shape is more of a WISTERIA, isn't it? I'm playing a SEGMUELLER, which only got a reputation in Germany, I guess...

Are you using the standard fabrics or customised the cushions with different synthetic fabrics or even leather?

Rock on! ^^

[LilDrummerBoy74]

@magoohurn You havent played nothing till youve played a CHESTERFIELD.

[SpazzyNoodle]

Hehehe I like the per"cushion" ;-)

[TheThing2008]

[hannespetri]

This clears things up! I usually play Drowsy Maggie with the first part from the second reel you played. I got it from a recording, but I've never heard anyone else playing it that way. Now I see where that part comes form :)

[cMwL91]

Excactly.

And in less your brain somehow fell out when you weren't looking then you do have talent.You just have to recognize it.

[michdimiwill]

wow nice job guys:)

quick question: what key is your whistle???

[KaitouMusic304]

I'm obvously not him, nor anywhere near as good, but that would be a D whistle. You can find these tunes on a site called "The Session." Best of luck.

[thesnitchDE]

Hi... I just created this account to tell you that your drumming friend is damn cute... :-)

cheers...

[evillink33]

Awesome, the drums add a great beat to your Tin Whistling. :)

[TheJoe90]

Drums? The Sofa xD

[rebelpiper89]

[hijojavi]

[musical304]

Wow...that is absolutely amazing. I hope you realize that I've been learning how to play from your videos. You have so much talent!

[KrisShred]

[ChristianMusician]

[low56got7]

Is that last one Reel of Tulloch ?

[shortcut07]

love it ! it made me wana dance :D

[DiePoetin]

I'll go and check if my sofa sounds like that xD

[mgdeegan]

The first one is rolling in the rye garss not sur bout the second thinks is gravel walks..

[Leiouekairna]

Mm... No, gravel walks is a 4-part reel and sounds different than this. I think the second tune is Drowsy Maggie, just a little different than I've usually heard it.

[TinWhistler]

The second tune is "The Reel With The Burl". It has the same first part as Drowsy Maggie. I learned it from the Chieftains.

[IrishDancingRosie]

Isn't the first a hornpipe...? It has hornpipe beats...

[TinWhistler]

Well maybe I played it a bit... too hornpipe-ish... sorry. It's supposed to be a reel.

[IrishDancingRosie]

haha, ok. I see how it could be a slow reel, though..

[Falinir]

how long did it take for you to learn that?

[minimalkaioh]

I LOVE THE SOFA SOUND!

[celticgarrison]

A other totally awesome video!

[Hagelnot]

hey this is drowsy maggy, isn't it?

[TinWhistler]

The second tune? No. It's a reel that has the same first part. The Reel With The Burl.

[fulsomstryk]

He moves his body so funny and cool.

[jeremyfrancis]

Sweet that second reel is from the wedding scene in Braveheart (I'm a very close listener!)

[belcatar]

Enthusiastic applause! Very Nice!

[Xequ]

I think that second reel was Drowsy Maggie but different B music...

Great playing keep it up!!!

[konagalvo]

I also love the transition between the reels, in this video...very well done! You guys are slamming. alot of talent. I seen all your videos and think you guys great. I'd pay to see you two up on a stage in concert someday.

[rockstothebass]

I also love the transition between the reels...very well done!

[sillysmile11]

[CarolineTheElegant]

You two will really go places if you keep this great work up. My god how I would love to have that kind of skill..=D I'm so jelous...=P If you would mind giving me some tips about the tin whistle I'd be forever grateful!

[PeQueYummy]

[seamus0232]

[RyanONeill]

Excellent as usual ^^ Nice birthday present for me :P

[oreozers]

Once again, loved the sofa!!! But, really, I really like it. What are the names of the reels?

[TinWhistler]

Good question. I'll investigate about the names because I honestly don't know them. And if anyone knows them, or finds them before me, it'd be good if you say it.

[IcySapphire64]

I *think* the second one is 'Toss the Feathers' but I'm not 100% sure.

[TinWhistler]

Ok their names are:

Rolling In The Ryegrass

The Reel With The Burl

[IcySapphire64]

Furniture makes great percussion, doesn't it? ;-)
