  • wow.. only five years playing? its about the same for me. but i guess you got more talent.. and more sober than me.

  • do you have the sheet music for this?

  • Agree with all the saloon comments. Any chance of you sharing the transcription?

  • g as fuck

  • Nice job

  • :) love it!!

  • Good job! I think I like it more than the original theme song - keep it up. It sounds more old and classic without the drum machine beat and stuff. Thank you for uploading this. I don't need to find any sheet music since I saw this vid to really learn the song.

  • OH MY GOD, I LOVE YOU

  • you play a piano with three pedals, wow

  • Without the drum beat and percussion it sounds like something you'd hear in an old western saloon!

  • This sounds just like the original and is awesome.

  • AWESOME!!!!!

    

  • this has to be the best version ive heard yet on youtube!! you are good. i play Keyboards professionally here in Australia.. im 25 now. mainly Blues/Funk/Soul/Rock&Roll stuff.. used to play classical when i first learned piano, but gave it up for that stuff... and i used to love Thomas the Tank as a kid. i can only do the right hand to this, and only just manage a bit of the stride left hand.. too good man. hopefully ill get it one day

  • This video rocks, just like Thomas!

  • it's got that RAG style to it :)

  • thats some fucking talent right there. I never got even close to being able to move my hands freely across the piano. I wish I could have kept taking piano lessons.

  • Dude!! You can play the hell out of that piano! Nice job.

  • HOLY CRAP! THIS IS SO GOOD!!!

  • AWESOME, i dont giv a shit if im 15 i still love thomas

  • Seeing videos like this makes me kind of wish that I could play the piano. I did take up piano lessons as a kid, but gave it away after starting high school and ended up losing skill over time and now I'm pretty hopeless at it. We still have a piano, maybe I should try get back on sometime.

  • ur a fuckin donn

  • Nothing better than a man playing thomas the tank engine theme. Nice work

  • I clap for you! the best I have ever heard!

  • i swear to god i almost went for the dislike button for the first second, the way he played it, and it sounded so real i thought he faked it and put the song over it, well done, idk if im wrong, i have perfect pitch, but i think some chords that were minor should of not been minor, idk, but it sounds like the actual song but with out the other instruments, well done

  • OUTSTANDING!

  • hahaha dude, your pro :D!

  • I love it.

  • i loved Thomas as a little kid and i would sing this song ALLL THE TIME...now I'm older but i still love the song, your video inspired me to learn this song on piano myself. My god man this version sound EXACTLY like the real thing! at first i thought it was in the begin...haha nice work man!

  • this almost sounds like the real version

  • Do you have the sheet for that song! Loved it!!!

  • haha, i loved this! :D

  • sounds like the real thing apart from that wrong cord somewhere in the middle

  • Raggy Raggy!

  • @robbiethemann THE BEST EVER

  • you are truly amazing

  • i would love to have the sheets for this.. did you write it up in the end?

    nice playing man

  • PEEP! PEEP! Thank-you; the fat controller would be proud!

  • MIND = BLOWN

  • 3 dislikes I mean seriously? how can anyone hate this? They probably only know the rubbish new theme. Waht a bunch of trolls

  • @teddy292929 I can't agree more!

  • thats really cool

  • that was sick :)

  • you are a fucking dude

  • EPIC WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It is fake

  • That was the MOST amazing piano-playing that I have EVER seen!!!!!!

  • It is better than original ! Congratulation from Hungary!

  • that was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA­W. How coool was this!. It was my favorite Tv-show when I was a little boy!: Thank u sooo much!

  • thanks :D !!!! sokrsofa@aol.com ^_^

  • what's the name of this song ?, are there any soundtracks or scores for the old series, great music, my kid loves it.

    Yeah i agree vintage thomas rocks, new cgi sucks, even my 4 year old preffers the old version.

  • @sinistaer Good for him. The old theme tune is what I grew up with.

  • u

    r

    god

  • Hey mate, any chance you could email me the music for this so I could try and play it for my little girl? bob@bay94.org  Would really appreciate it! Bob

  • You are a great pianist!! When did you start playing the piano?

  • @iplaymusic92

    when i made this video it would have been about 5 years since starting piano :)

  • @robbiethemann Christ! I've been playing for nine years and don't think I could possibly nail that left hand. Nice job man.

  • I really wanna hear this play over a silent movie, lol

  • I'd love to hear this tune played on a fairground organ. I think it would suit it well.

    And I agree with the commenters below that the original Thomas series was way better than the modern CGI version.

  • That was badass!

  • u sir are a credit to us REAL thomas fans everywhere

  • Best version I've seen on youtube......ever! :D

  • I know writing sheet music may be time consuming, but could you jsut write the notes down on two lines on word. Left hand below and right hand above? It is fast and easy and I jut found this video again and want to play it soooo much :). If you decide to do it, my email is stomp_n_smash@hotmail.co.uk.

  • can't stop watching this, fuckin awesome 10/10

  • HAHAHAH FUCK YES

    

  • what kind of piano is that?

  • @HPPFilms

    Kohler & Campbell KM-121M. Wonderful machine!

  • I would like an e-mail of the score. My e-mail address is gmakid10@hotmail.com. Thanks.

  • I can even imagine having that punched onto a player piano roll.

  • i listen to this everyday and i never get bored of it

  • @SodorFan2K10 So do I.

  • i think i love u after this video aaahahaha X)

  • @oddsee what's your number honey?

  • Loved the dynamics you put in this piece! Enjoyed listening to it!! 

  • The phrasing actually wasn't that bad. The general feel was there - and it brought back a lot of good memories.

    I don't mean to point this out - put every time I listen to this I hear a wrong note right near the end of it. Is it a weird combination of two notes together that clash or was it really a boo-boo?

  • BOO-BOO! Well observed darlin.

    Maybe the word 'phrase' is misleading. I just listened to the original after i posted this and realised i'd played that particular phrase wrong rhythmically.

  • @robbiethemann Hope that didn't embarrass you too much. If it did I'm sorry. And I just realised that I did a boo-boo myself by putting 'put' instead of 'but', lol ironic much.

  • Wicked....

  • So what if the phrasing isn't so good? It's sounds excellent!

  • I've got five words for you: YOU ARE THE PIANO GOD!!!!!!

  • This is by far the best piano version I've heard :)

  • Can you send the score to christianvestergaard (aaaaat) gmail (dooot) com

  • send the music to: aaron.hobson2@education.nsw.co­m.au

  • I loved this show as a child :'D Thank you for this. It made me so happy.

  • That was the coolest damn thing ever!

  • DAMN!! It's like the piano had a seizure! I mean that in a good way, as akward as it may sound.

  • SOO MUUCH BLOOOOD

  • thats perfect mate

  • Wow! Sounds just like the original.

  • Masterpiece!

  • that was amazing!!!

  • Makes me really regret I quit the piano when I was 14.

  • is it possible to get the sheet music? for piano

    i'll write my arrangement out eventually. pm me your email and i'll add you to the list of people i need to send it to :)

  • Hi, I'm a guy who has his own mini series on youtube (the piano menace, lol) though I see there are already requests for the score, could you at least tell me/us what key signature you are playing in please (if you know?).

  • it's coming...

    i play it in C major. the first note of the melody is G though. then it goes to Ab major. then D minor and G major. and then i'll let you keep going

  • Thats was bloody fantastic ! did you write the score down?

  • not yet. i will i promise! :P

  • i am going to try this now!
