Orchestral Percussionist

[SANDS78]

Awesome! I too am a musician and wish I had a doctor to support my musical habits! I tell my students to keep it a hobby and don't make it a career!

[AvahHam]

SO SO cute! I have a music channel for children, NOTEFRIENDS...I have many videos, newest one is making your OWN percussion instruments!

[KaylynnBlair]

"did you major in triangle in college?" XD

[sithwriter]

does anyone else wonder how he plays four mallet with his mitten hands?

[abink10]

tri angle... xD

[lara4329]

I'm an orchestral percussionist @ my school so I showed my percussion buddies were craking up when she asked " Did you major in triangle in college? " hilarious, its just classic watching anyone try 2 explain music terms and other fun stuff to clueless people.

[lara4329]

I play orchestral percussion in middle school its fun I showed some of my fellow percussion buddys this vid we all were laughing our heads off @ the part where she asks him "you majored in triangle?"

[linkjoshua12]

Any percussionist who refers to cymbals as "piatti" should be slapped.

[tenniscrazy2]

@linkjoshua12 Unless they're Italian ;)

[MrJoeManghan]

Sums up the life of orchestral musicians..

As a percussionist and dma student finishing school, this video makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

[1rockclimber1]

[DemiVeemon0234]

[gloriaa657]

what is a marimba? *awkward pause, waves hands*

[apollor3]

marimba...such a misunderstood instrument...and its sad that you always have to describe it as a really big xylophone, haha

[BearChemistry]

@apollor3 gay

[Nichiiro]

[doodlydude]

sad but so true. percussion is the best!

[NewAKS86]

HAHAHA I love it!

[Nick10213]

Did you say you play the triangle?

Yes, I am quite proficient at playing the triangle.

That's funny. I did not know they paid people to play the triangle.

Yes, I get paid the same as every other musician.

Did you major in triangle in college?

[soyperiodista]

OH MY GOD YOU ARE A DRUMMER.

[SuperLawlFace]

is it a bad thing that i know all the songs he says?

haha go percussion (:

[tenniscrazy2]

@SuperLawlFace Haha I thought EXACTLY the same thing when I heard that :-D

[percgal11]

@SuperLawlFace It's not a bad thing at all that you recognize all of them. I find it funny that Yellow After The Rain is thrown in with Reflections of the Nature of Water and Merlin

[Adu3ntus]

@percgal11 I lol'd at Yellow sitting between Merlin and Reflections hahaha.

[Capcoor]

@percgal11 What,he didn't learn Sea Refractions?First jury,baby.One time the studio was being used and I took our Yamaha 4 1/3 into the Atrium and played it.It.Was.BAD.I always liked it better than Yellow After The Rain.

[cambridgefarms2]

The Marimba/Xylophone comparison is SO true!

[DrumsAndMisc]

I Have experienced 99% of this content on more than one occasion in real life conversations! Amazing!
