These guys singlehandedly keep the cello bow industry in business. "Yeah, we got another order for 1000 bows" "It's been a week!"

[@AndySaenz]

Super Pochaco DOUBLE handedly, there’s 2 cellists there.

[@dheyes803]

Super Pochaco They also keep string manufacturers in business. Normal cello string change time for pros is about twice a year, these guys easily burn through strings at least once every month.🎻

One night in the middle of a performance this drummer will just erupt into a huge ball of flames from all the friction and static charge he has to generate playing like he does. It will be very pretty. If it happens at the end of the show during the fireworks, people will not realize the drummer just exploded. I need a nap after watching him play in these videos.

[@SzonSer]

Spike Flea I am very familiar with “extreme” metal and this drummers performance is no less impressive. Plus my point was the lighting wasn’t keeping up with the drummer.

[@gdbluefirre6749]

szonser i mean yea, hes actually average maybe great at best, buut, it isnt the same way like Nicko McBrian plays it, Difference, one bass pedal, same drum riffs on bass pedal, just with one pedal And if you learn drums and you learn this song where i live, you need to learn it with one pedal since hi-hat control is needed on the trooper

[@SzonSer]

GD BlueFirre comment on the video if you want, I did it was my opinion and I don’t need try hard idiots who think they know everything about it trying to tell me there are better drummers who can play it better. I’m not impressed by your contribution so what impact do you think ur comment on my comment will have. I didn’t claim he was the fastest drummer in the world, I thought his performance was “savage” which means very good. You said he was great but he didn’t play it the same as nicko mcbrian?? So?? I don’t remember the video being about a drummer doing an impression of nicko. Go write your own comment on the video and stop trawling (trolling) through 9month old comments with your irrelevant opinions..thanks

[@elainemeyer5062]

Luka and Hauser are absolutely AWESOME cellists! No matter what style of music they perform, it’s always done with so much emotion, passion and energy - superb talent! The fact that they are able to play various styles of music from classical to rock, like this one and ‘I Shook You All Night Long’ (and everything in between) so effortlessly (except for the long practice sessions we don’t see!) is a true testament of this! I’m 67 years old now and was a classical pianist and organist since I was 5, so I know from experience just how difficult and time consuming it is to master the art of being a ‘real’ musician, and not to just learn how to read the music notes from paper and play them on an instrument. This is something that almost anyone can be taught to do, but making music come to ‘life’ can only be achieved when it comes from within a person’s heart and soul - which is exactly how these two play with all their pieces, whether together or each of them by themselves (Luka and Hauser - check out their individual music if you enjoy the 2Cellos and you won’t be sorry)!
