Maple Leaf Rag Really Really REALLY FAST!!!

[Hattusa]

I didn't think it was possible to speedrun a song...

[ImJustSayin2014]

but is it art?

[4444Puppylover]

OMG

[ater012]

I'm glad people like that exist. It's makes feel humble......very......very....­very....humble.

[143hap]

nice job bro, dedication.

[anthonyN331997]

love the little 'wow' at the end

[blooodbat007]

Good, except... where's the rest of the song?

[skelvator]

lol fast forward >>

[deathflyer10]

@skelvator no.

[sargeanthrs]

cheating if you miss out the repeats and the third section

[Sogwa]

WTF!! Is this for real?!?!

U r one SUPER FAST ASS PIANIST!!!!

[Tomassssssso]

No comment, about how he fingered his girlfriend and she died?

[MrGerced]

Hahahaha. Very bad. It's music. This is not a car race.

[PeteraBunny]

Stop hacking your hands you cheater!! You're giving us false hope for what is humanly possibly!! :O

[azpianist]

Oh wow nice job!

You played that REALLY fast and REALLY well, but the only qualm I have with it is that you played all the parts only once and you even skipped the second rendition of the first part between the second and third. It's really, really good though. Nice job!

[meeblescow]

great......way to use computer technology to do your work..

[ProductAmbush]

@meeblescow Piss off you jealous tosspot.

[WazoMusicTv]

Greattt !!!!

[Blackironjacket]

Awesome. Keep doing that, and see how fast you can play it in 10 years, then please post a video of that. Also, screw anyone who tells you how a piece should be played, once you learn it, it's yours to play however the fuck you like.

[iluvdamon67]

now play it backwards....

[WazoMusicTv]

@iluvdamon67

hhaahaha

[plungerdrum]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[Haroldbeavis1969]

LOL as long as you gave the disclaimer, ok, that was awesome!!!

[OPianst]

Speed hack!!!!! XD

[mb65228]

superb miestro man!!!!!

[seveliafly]

Really good and fast. Wonderful, how you practiced to play it that fast, but this version isn't that attractive, because you can barely hear the actual melody, especially on the right hand. Congrats again on playing it that fast, but let's respect music a little bit :)

[theshninja]

Play me off, Johnny!

[kodyjbosch1]

impressive.



[MrSteve0148]

Yeah!!!!!!!!

[TheCheungo]

Stop hatin' people. That was pretty boss.

[PianoGuitarandMore]

Fake... Not the right notes

[herrbrahms]

I'll quote the Emperor in Amadeus.

"Uh, is it modern?"

[SuperHoovyPootis]

It's fake 

[iitvNews]

I don't know what Scott Joplin would say, since he always said, "Never play Ragtime fast at any time," but wow!!! that was fast, and I confess, I can never resist playing this piece fast (though I never could play it that fast).

[strontklont]

@iitvNews horrible aint it i always try to break my speed record on it but its not supposed to play fast !!!

[zerrubabbel]

that is like useless fast, speeded or not, it dosnt allow anyone to enjoy the song

[MuseDuCafe]

Proves that some who 'can play' have no musical sense whatsoever.

[CheddarBob39]

Do you work for Jimmy Johns?

[olixfighter]

That's why Redbull is not good for us.... xD

[Nanipark50]

Jesus.



[xBulls]

you took drugs? hahahahaha :D

[saltandfinagar]

That's extremely impressive. You've got some discipline.

[thesolanita2]

haha nice

[aslpartyqueen]

someone gave you a little too much caffine...

[rainbowsarecool94]

51 seconds of crap. Scott Joplin rocked it better than this weiner :P

[domalskid]

I have to put my eyeballs back into my head!

[mtavares92]

You just destroyed a masterpiece. 

[Shishkaraz]

@mtavares92 No he didn't. He just played it faster.

[oXxMaRsHmAlLoWxXo]

@Shishkaraz thank you. i was going to say something.

[mtavares92]

@Shishkaraz exactly

[lKiki23l]

@Shishkaraz Scott Joplin himself has said "never play ragtime fast at any time" this song, although I respect the disclipline it took to play it, is not supposed to be played like this. It does not allow the full glory to be expressed, as it is played to fast to allow to sink in and enjoy to its full extent.

[Shishkaraz]

@lKiki23l I know he said that, but there's not exactly any harm in playing it fast. Playing it in your own way is just expressionalism. It's not like Joplin is turning in his grave.

[coolguy778778]

@lKiki23l so your point is he shouldnt have put this on youtube for other ppl to enjoy and have fun watching? if you dont like it dont watch it and post useless comments

[KevinPoerwo]

for asians this is...

not even saying it...

[amylchapman]

W.O.W. this shit rocks!

[IAmNigHtMaReTR]

NIIIIIIIICE SHIT MAN!!!!!!

[MrJaydubb420]

HOLLY BALLS THIS KID IS AMAZING! KEEP IT UP BRO!

[weetallman]

Dude, I'm an old musician... I've been playing music before you were born... I think that's freaking AMAZING! please don;t ever get discouraged by these bitter trolls who spew meanness on these comments... You're gifted. I'd love to hear more of whatever you play... Just awesome. Keep up the tunes!

[davewalwark]

Forget all the haters.

[THENAMEISTMO]

OMG I JUST REALIZED I WAS HOLDING MY BREATH....YOOOO THATS CRAZY HOT!!!

[mynameiszachattack]

HAHAHAHAHAHAAA OH MY WORD THATS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Comeechawaylama]

@ItheSwick Not easily impressed then?

[ItheSwick]

Playing the music of a guy who WROTE on most of his sheet music "Not to be played fast", Scott is in a grave somewhere doing backflips with blood coming out of his ears.

Read the music, understand that playing it in the wrong time isn't right. You may as well have played every note in the piece wrong. If you want to play a fast song, try Flight of the Bumblebee or Circus Galop... But don't call yourself a pianist. A piano player maybe, but not a pianist.

[11grace18]

Impressive left hand :)

[davidjohan99]

Wow I missed it!...who won? :-).....very entertaining btw......so much adrenaline!

[Magmacano]

holy fucking fuck fucking holy what

MIND = BLOWN

[fapfapfapSHIT]

all that in a 52 second vid.. nice

[Cihl280777]

:-OOO

[FanciDreama]

wtf!!:DD

[MrMadManJR]

oh all of u haters should all go fuck off this kid is 5 fucking million times better than most of you at piano and frankly Im jealous that he can actually play this crap in school if i did id be expelled

[FilledCircle]

@MrMadManJR No one is hating.......

[eglantine1011]

THIS IS SWEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!

[ZappaFan101]

Dont give the kid hell about playin too fast.

Give the kid props for knowing who the hell Scott Joplin even is.

[FlyingBlackAndWhite]

this is fast, but lacks control.

[MoonEyes2k]

That gains you 50 points for speed and at least nominal control. Unfortunately, it also loose you 500 points for ruining the tune. It just didn't sound good. Now, if you could've played it fast AND made it sound good, that would've netted you a thousand points, easily.

[AlphaNerd3]

I like that username.



[Meerkatdawg]

Lol bit of fun. Cool. Now play it on one of the basses in the background!

[pokemanart101]

what if asian?

[sttevenash]

fasters not better...but stupid

[davidjohan99]

OOOOO I'm sure all the right notes are in there somewhere!.....ha ha...tell me who wins left or right hand!....love it!

[deadi9rs]

we......can.........haz......m­ut3?

[DawnOfTheCrazy]

Holy balls.

[FascioINgabbia]

I don't like the result, but you still quite precise even if fast. So my compliments.

[DAYMAable]

holy devlin

[Dihelson]

50% of wrong notes. Misses part B of the music...oh shit!...



[taejamhaha]

play La Campanella and Revolutionary March pls.

[TrojanEpic]

Haha nicely done, you have really fast fingers! I kinda like how it sounds when it's a bit slower, though =/ Well done anyways

[NealonNews]

i liked it.



[abergavennymelmoth]

twat

[UKpiano]

its not sped up at all, and its rubbish anyway

[herpaderpatar]

player piano?

[Charliearo1196]

yes but it is the easiest piece to play fast

[Arcanecide]

Yeah it was fast, but it sounded like shit.

[h0rnymusher]

pff, why doing this? u make the music a joke. this isnt music anymore..

[MellDotxo]

How do you do that?? That was AWESOME

[Bamboozle242]

his hands look fake.

[Nickchaosking11]

It's faked?

[campbellparker]

ADHD TO THE MAX!

[SirBrianCabrera]

i played this 5 minutes ago... when i first heard it.

[MoldyCarrotz]

i felt like i was fast forwarding.....whaaat? how can you play that fast?????

[makitothesage]

WOW

[Heppygirl1986]

Love it:)

[bojiniboy]

Do Fantastic Dance by Robert Schumann please, that's my favorite one. (:

I would love to see you play that because you're seriously SO talented.

thank you so much for reading this, and i hope you do it! <3333(:

[avadyn]

click the middle of the video and then hold spacebar = normal speed!

[captainofthetitanic]

Quick! play me off johnny!

[diasslo]

It was fast, but sound like shit

[brandanstuart]

That's just rude and uncalled for. that's the best, most sick tune ever! and the listener can't even understand what you're playing, you're so intent on playing it too fast. you're a douche-bag. how dare you take such a Scott Joplin gem and murder it so crappily. I hate you!!

[eddyafritz]

Scott Joplin just turned in his grave and shot himself lol. but jelly roll morton would be proud if he wasnt stabbing people in his grave.

[lovemypiano111]

what are you sniffing, kiddo?

[TheManillafull]

@lovemypiano111 lol

[ohemgeeohemgee]

wowww insain but its not how the song goess!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chopin1974l]

Okay, all of you criticizing this guy are so utterly demented. He's having fun! Music is supposed to be fun. I'm quite sure he knows the correct tempo, but he probably thought what the hell, let's speed it up just for the fun of it. There's nothing wrong with that. Why must everyone criticize. It speaks more of you to criticize him than it does of him having some fun.

[Pianoninja924]

That was pretty sweet, but it each section is normally repeated twice, so it'd probably be about 80 seconds, which is still pretty damn fast.

[hsojeliah]

Okay... now play it backwards...

[gooberjt]

Hmm..... speed videos up much?

[23456angie]

faster ianot better

[videofreakmanic123]

i respect you.

[wolf3415]

[bennett2550]

its harder to play it at the right tempo

[dianatran010]

an asian could do ten times faster than you can ...

[SomeMinecrafter]

Press one for thank you muffin two for computer error

[MusicalEntertainer]

I can play it faster :p , I dont know the whole song though .

[Skikov]

It is no longer music. Its already sport.

[Xhendraful]

Do Nyan Cat REALLY REALLY REALLY FAST :D !!

[TheAndy2956]

i cant tap random keys that fast

[KensieGranz]

This makes my head hurt....................

[captainofthetitanic]

homer

[Spectic]

My god. So many people angry because someone decided to play a song fast. Who cares if that's not how it's supposed to be played? Who cares if it doesn't sound that good? Sometimes it's fun to do things just to see if you can. Get over it, he's not killing anyone.

[kolbyke]

@Spectic Wrong. It is killing me.

[Spectic]

@kolbyke Then don't watch the video.

[Joebone18974]

@Spectic back when Scott Joplin wrote this piece, player would compete by seeing who could play it fastest. This guy probably would have done well.

[stopanimationkat]

MY HEAD IS SPINING AND I LOOKING UP CUZ I SEE STARS

[mclaine33]

that was retarded. You should not play rag time fast. It is not meant to be played fast. After hearing that it sounded like crap. I'm mean congrats kid you can play it fast but i really does suck. There is nothing musical about that.

[Kolestarol]

lol... reminds me of that family guy episode...

[r0i0c0c0e]

Well but rag played in this way is good for Larry Samon movies.....

[flechedor24]

HOLY QUETZALCOATL that's epic man! i love how your right hand is keeping really close to the keys while your left is jumping around like a hyper grasshopper....you must know the song reeeeally well to be able to play it that fast

[VampireUchiha467]

Mother.of.god.

AMAZING

[pianojeff13]

As a fellow piano player, wow. Is that even humanly possible? I mean, you shouldn't play it fast, but: wow. Great job!

[timmy12370]

He one fingered a girl... She died.

[toniekid]

well that sounded like crap... though i am impressed

[kent5712]

if you notice its edited to make it seem fast!

[cockapoody4]

@kent5712 not true if you notice when the camrea zooms during the playing its not in fast motion.

[mixertwas]

@kent5712 then it would be a higher pitch :P

[BoneDragon241]

THAT WAS HORRIBLE!!!! To play such a masterpiece of music in that foolish manner is disgraceful! Your music's bad and you should feel bad!

[musicianxartist16]

@BoneDragon241 at least he could play it that fast, i doubt you could play any song with that speed

[BoneDragon241]

@musicianxartist16 THE POINT IS NOT TO PLAY THAT FAST IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!! GTFO!!!

[mixertwas]

@BoneDragon241 he was doing it for fun because it was cool how fast he could play, not for a concert doofus. and wow u think he should feel bad that he is an amazing piano player? ur just jealous u cant play that well

[boomali92]

wow

[Strakos0]

all of you are IDIOTS, check out the sound of the piano, its speeded up morons

[DragonFangCorp]

finaly someones understands

THANK U

[CuberTubers]

@Strakos0 I believe you are the idiot, cross check your sources here and actually pay attention to the detail, like his hands hitting certain notes and listen for it in the music, instead of being an asshole troll..

Seems like you don't have any gifts do you, so you hate on others.

[dvnbrennan1]

@Strakos0 "Speeded"?

[Strakos0]

@dvnbrennan1 Yes? Any problem with my English?

[iseeubitch1]

@KamiwanMUFFINS you are fucking retarded, that wasnt terrible, that takes major skill to play that type of song that fast

[KooGuitar]

This is my sex music

[billysmom69]

I can't tell if this is real, it looks like half the time his left hand isn't hitting a key

[KamiwanMUFFINS]

This is terrible -.- Don't destroy Joplin's music... please.

[pablodepinho]

@KamiwanMUFFINS I think it was an exercise, and not a musical piece. Dont you think so?

[Shadowassasin14]

O_o

[Mr2smily]

that's awsome! but i think it isn't good for your hands

[gazeboqueen]

As long as you know how it's supposed to be, and are having fun, it's just fine. My granny used to play piano for the silent films, and after that at various dancehalls and then a dinner club when she was in her 90's, and she never played the rags fast, but you would have tickled her. Play on!

[Mouser763]

That's really fast, but you can hear how it really sounds at that tempo by playing it at normal speed on a digital piano and then cranking up the tempo on playback. And when you can replicate that, I'll be impressed.

[JamesPriceJohnson]

I can play this song about this speed. But definately not the right song to play at this speed, it just destroys it.

[DrRandomFactor]

I GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS!

[freakyhead20]

Scott Joplin just turned around in his grave..you just destroyed the song..

its so fast it d
