My PVC Instrument, BMG Paddles

Ok, so the whole thing is kind of hard to explain, but just the other day I received some real blue man paddles from some BMFH guys, Marco and Hans (thanks again you guys!). They recently were holding a charity auction with items that were donated to them by BMG Oberhausen and were nice enough to hold a pair of paddles aside as a sort of silent auction just for me :-)

So here's my first video of me messing around on my pvc instrument with these real Blue Man Group paddles. I had no idea at all about what I was going to play, so there are a couple of times where I pause for a second to think of what song I wanted to play next.

The songs I ended up playing are...
-Dulcimer (the song in the pic slideshow)
-PVC IV
-Chariots of Fire
-Time to Start
-Roof Dwellers Theme
-Rods and Cones
-String Mandelbrot (by Caesar1125)
-PVC IV (again)
-Jump on It
-Scooby Doo
-Beethoven's Symphonies (messed up on purpose ;-))
-PVC House
-Chopsticks
-Utne Wire Man
-I Feel Love
-Chant Jam

Enjoy!

4:05 =/ whoops =D you slipped up a bit but ur really good. are you a percussionist or did u just teach yourself?

[snubbyj]

@Forrestongirl97 Thanks! I actually did that little mess up on purpose, but I'm glad you caught it ;-) I am a self taught percussionist, but I've been playing piano since I was 5 years old.

[09jofa]

what a material are your sticks?

[snubbyj]

@09jofa The official blue man paddles are rather complicated but it's basically foam attached to corrugated plastic which is then attached to a couple of rods and then finished off with a wooden dowel wrapped in rubber.

@masteuralex Definitely not ;-) You'll have to make your own like I did if you want one!

How much time did it take to make it?

[ImperialCody]

i dont see the motivation for anyone to dislike this? Talent not enough? Were you disappointed that he didn't play the full versions? Or did he get the tempo off a tad -_-?
