@existingusername823 you ignorant fuck. You don't like change in your pathetic sedate life? :( aww well fuck you, get out there and learn about shit you have no clue about because as you are... you're a fucking ignorant prick. Embrace change, most of the people there were impressed by the skill and sleight of hand, you're just a douche who might be good at shit that everyone is already good at. Move out of your comfort zone, idiot. That is what life is.
unbelievable.... incredible..... I could think of superlatives to describe this but this is just purely wonderful. What a talent, superb control, not so many people play this but I've never heard it played with such passion and composure. I'd like to shake this dude by the hand, his playing is superb, maybe 3 notes wrong in the entire piece and when they're coming at 8 per second, that's no bad =P good on you mate. That has blown me away.
Great!! I play the Persian hammered Dulcimer. the rules for playing the Persian type are very different. fingers should be stationary and wrist should move fast ,and you should feel the overall force with every part of your hand. I'm thinking about buying the American dulcimer and self learn how to play it with Persian method,and make more American friends as well.
@adamantane1985 Well if you don't like it, then put up the capital (human, financial, or otherwise) to start your own Google. Or do you believe you have a "right" to use other people's property? Look, I don't like the ads, but if Google doesn't make money, there isn't going to be a YouTube.
@HumanoidThe23rd "I never should have listened to that Dutch boy by the dike, and now I've got me finger stuck in me bum" -Beavis and Butt-Head reference
Interesting. The dude is clearly very, very good, but I have mixed feelings about the piece. The beginning section is quite beautiful, but at about the two minute mark when he speeds up it becomes difficult to clearly hear what's going on. I can still hear the basic pattern of the thing, but it sounds a bit busy. I have a hunch that it would be easier to hear 'properly' if he was using dampers. As it is it seems difficult to disentangle everything that's going on.
Absolutely incredible! I am speachless. You are not just talented young man, you are truly gifted. I have heard and seen some good performers...but...WOW. Post some more please.! We Canadian love music too....WOW.
@MaskedJalapeno the "dirtyness" that you speak of doesn't take away from his performance. Music isn't always about time, but expression and passion. He is very musical. Having his head up doesn't ruin anything....it's MUSICAL! I have been playing marimba for 15 years and i find it difficult to keep my head up constantly...looking down at the instrument is just part of it.
@iluvperkushun you are correct that music isn't always about time, but in a technical piece like this, it's necessary, i am also a percussionist of 9 years, and in all instances, I've been told by pit techs, band directors, college professors, private teachers, that keeping your head up is essential, keeping the head up, but looking down at the keys, or strings in this case, this problem is that the whole head is down, disabling all facial connection with the audience, which isn't musical at all
@MaskedJalapeno I think it's cool that you're also a percussionist. I have recently been fascinated with the hammered dulcimer because of it's likeness to keyboard percussion. You mentioned that you have had lots of teachers (pit techs, private teachers etc...)...Who have you studied with? What college did you attend? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just curious!
@MaskedJalapeno Also, keep in mind that this guy is a national champion. Despite the bad timing and not keeping his head up, he must be doing something right.
@iluvperkushun It's cool, I'm actually still in high school, but i have studied with Mark Ford, She-e Wu, Ney Rosauro, just to name a few, I am aspiring to go to either Central Florida, I connected really well with Jeff Moore, North Texas, or Michigan, I'm working on Rumble Strips by Stout
@iluvperkushun bad timing?....it's a free piece man, no real tempo. and how could you keep your head up at all times when playing that fast? he is amazing.
Miles Davis played with his back to the audience... Making or breaking the visual connection with the audience is a musical decision in it's own right. It makes no sense to say that one is less musical than the other. If you were taught to always make that connection, then that holds inside of the tradition that you are working in. I also noticed the dirtiness that you talked about, but I didn't think it detracted from the performance. Overall, your comments was interesting.
@MaskedJalapeno Yeah, you're a little too green to be commenting on a professional dulcimer player. In the future, I'd watch the comments unless you play it yourself. I have grown up in the music business and around hundreds of dulcimer players and sweetheart....it's not about looking at your audience. THAT would be musical theater with jazz hands. It's the feel of playing that ridiculously hard instrument and bringing it to life. This guy is brilliant and deservedly a National Champion.
FUCK whoever didn't like this guy! I'd like to see them try to do anywhere near as baller as him. I'm pretty sure they're just jealous dulcimer players.
I for one, could give a shit about the audience. A majority of people don't go to concerts to look at the audience, it's to see the performer! You and Comedy Central need to learn this fact >.<
-sighs- if you have to show the audience, wait til the performance is over.. and pan over the crowd as they applaud.... ...as you did at the end... -shifts eyes-....
WOW! I am completely flabbergasted by that young man's performance! That is fantastic! I just watched that vid again with my GF in Germany and I'm gonna watch it again with my son on Easter day. Fabulous!!!
Very cool!!! Beautiful and soulful too! Certainty beats the dickens out of anything one might hear on pop radio station today. Great job Max! Bravo!!!
I can't believe there's a negative comment on this video. This is exquisite and highly advanced playing of the instrument. Maybe you gurus should post some of your talents and prove me wrong! GEEZ!
Seriously though, its cool to see a young guy jamming on this instrument. Keeps it alive and he's obviously pushing it in directions that are unconventional for this instrument. Kudos to him!
I am just learning about this intrument. It sounds nice although it seems a little limited in what you can do with it in terms of melodies. Perhaps I will see this it not the case in time. As for the person in the video, that was very impressive. As for the person behind the camera, that was very poor. You wasted about a minute at the beginning showing audience reaction. People want to see the performer, not the audience other than maybe a few seconds to show how impressed they are.
cogitodubitoamo-You're a freakin' idiot! I just got done listening to "toni arpad, master of the hammered dulcimer", and, guess what? HE SUCKS!! He's the exact reason why I never used to like the hammered dulcimer in the first place! He plays like a Romanian gypsy! It wasn't until I saw Maxs' "apple juice" video along with "dizzi dulcimer" that I actually realized what an awesome and beautiful instrument the dulcimer truly is!
I'm renting one of these next week for two months. I can't wait to start playing, I love the sound and Max is such an inspiration for up and coming HD players like myself
To be honest with you guys, I don't care whether the instrument is out of date, or whatever, because the dulcimer, along with the violin and piano, are the most beautiful instruments in the world. Respect the dulcimer.
@DragonerPhoenix yeah, who gives a crap when an instrument was made? Some sounds are timeless. Go listen to a video of someone playing the Duduk (there's a great one off one of Yanni's live shows).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is very cool and respectable, but I'd just like to point out that it's not as difficult as most of you probably think it is. He does it so fast because the sticks practically bounce back up off the strings that he's hitting, so he only really needs to put constant pressure down and move at the right times. I'm sure it takes lots of practice to get this good though, keep it up man :)
While that might be true, I think it's important to recognise that he's hitting all the strings accurately at the speed he's playing without bumping into the surrounding strings.
It might not be everyone's style of music but it is, nonetheless, very cool.
the first minute of camera has nothing to do with him you idiots. your all fukin stupid. the amazing thing is that he can play that well. and stop relating drums with his talent. theyre completely unrelated! thats like saying having a good trigger finger means you have good penmanship. youre all stupid
i want to get one of these for my friend chris he's always playing with drum sticks really fast and I bet iwth practice he'd be good with one of these. too bad they're expensive lol oh well at least i'll tell him about it... amazing videos... adding to my favs
Go learn something huh? Get the fuck off your high horse. You don't know anything about me, but if you did, you'd be all over my nuts like you are with this guy right here. asshole. Drums aren't anything close to a hammered dulcimer? the dulcimer is a pitched percussion instrument, try finding the relation of drums and a hammered dulcimer in that..... a 2 year old could see the relation of a hammered dulcimer and drums. goddamn internet idiots
really it's polish huh? What the fuck do I care, to me all it sounds like some nerdy star wars shit, therefore to me you're just some nerdy star wars fuckhead. I bet you're that guy in the video who starts doing weird shit with his head... cus you by the reading of you're posts it sounds like you want this guy's balls in your mouth really bad.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
and on another note, i wouldn't imagine a hammered dulcimer to be difficult to play since the strings are tuned in a diatonic scale in a circle of fifths pattern, because then if you hit any two sets of strings together they would be in key with each other, which would make it difficult to sound bad. you'd have to be a horrible musician to make that instrument sound bad. Idiot.
you wouldnt imagine cuz your a dumbass. my mom plays hammered dulcimer, so clearly i dick around with it on a fairly regularly basis. its tuned like a piano, and anyone that knows shit knows that you cant just hit any two keys together and they will sound good. on a piano or a dulcimer. you have to be precise, just like the kid in the video. wrong notes would be noticed you idiot. stop making yourself look studid by getting your info of wikipedia. im talking from experience
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it's whatever man, that's not the first time wikipedia has failed me lol. Oh you "dick around" with your mother's "hammered dulcimer" on a fairly regular basis? lol good for you man, if that's the case talk from all the experience you need. muuahahaha

so why was the camara man lookin at everyone but the star of the show.. like what the fuck and then he started lookin at his face.... i want to hit the shit out of the guy that did it.. but yea.. this shit was tight.. he's be a good drummer. tenor drums preferably.. lol

This is very cool and respectable, but I'd just like to point out that it's not as difficult as most of you probably think it is. He does it so fast because the sticks practically bounce back up off the strings that he's hitting, so he only really needs to put constant pressure down and move at the right times. I'm sure it takes lots of practice to get this good though, keep it up man :)

- @ Nomm098 -
While that might be true, I think it's important to recognise that he's hitting all the strings accurately at the speed he's playing without bumping into the surrounding strings.
It might not be everyone's style of music but it is, nonetheless, very cool.

drums is nothing close to hammered dulcimer you chuta. go learn something

You're the idiot.... wtf is a chuta?
Go learn something huh? Get the fuck off your high horse. You don't know anything about me, but if you did, you'd be all over my nuts like you are with this guy right here. asshole. Drums aren't anything close to a hammered dulcimer? the dulcimer is a pitched percussion instrument, try finding the relation of drums and a hammered dulcimer in that..... a 2 year old could see the relation of a hammered dulcimer and drums. goddamn internet idiots

and on another note, i wouldn't imagine a hammered dulcimer to be difficult to play since the strings are tuned in a diatonic scale in a circle of fifths pattern, because then if you hit any two sets of strings together they would be in key with each other, which would make it difficult to sound bad. you'd have to be a horrible musician to make that instrument sound bad. Idiot.
salvadorr88 2 years ago
you wouldnt imagine cuz your a dumbass. my mom plays hammered dulcimer, so clearly i dick around with it on a fairly regularly basis. its tuned like a piano, and anyone that knows shit knows that you cant just hit any two keys together and they will sound good. on a piano or a dulcimer. you have to be precise, just like the kid in the video. wrong notes would be noticed you idiot. stop making yourself look studid by getting your info of wikipedia. im talking from experience
