First time reaction to Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

[@benmason9755]

When Paul Simon heard their version of his song, he basically said that that's it, it's THEIR song now. The highest praise a master songwriter could give to a band covering his work.

[@chhook949]

@Ben Mason. Truth

[@HughJaxident67]

I don't agree at all, the original will always be the best as it was written as a haunting melody, there's too much aggression in the Disturbed version.

[@bikingchupei2447]

where do these copy paste fake facts come from? just like how people say nine inch nails said hurt is johnny cash's song now.

[@geraldharkness8830]

@@HughJaxident67 you then are in a minority

The drums are Kettle Drums, also known as Timpanis

[@theenigmacodedc518]

And incredibly loud lol Get goosebumps every time!

[@KayCeeTX21]

Yes they are incredibly powerful instruments. The fact that he was singing so close to them blew my mind. But then I’m sure he had in ear protection going on. They add such depth and emotion to any arrangement. Absolutely love it.

[@bradleysuarez4]

I used to make these drums in North Carolina.

[@jenniferstephens4191]

Are kettle drums and tympanies synonymous? I thought that they were.

[@ColinRichards1]

One of the most expensive percussion instruments

[@adrianmcguffey1252]

David Draiman dug deep and mentioned he surprised himself when he did this cover, it is my favorite cover of this song by anyone by far. Love your Reaction =D

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

They are Timpani Drums Bisscute. David Draiman... A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do. He has a timbre in his voice that's just hauntingly beautiful and has pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent. Try some more Disturbed please! Loved your reaction Bisscute.

[@aiavecchia]

aka: "kettle-drums"

[@carolstasuik5685]

I just saw this Conan show, I had not heard of them. You used the same word I did, hauntingly gripping and I kept playing it over and over. I almost 70 years old and I added him to my list of my heart and soul music list. 😊

You can also call them “Kettle Drums” Ian

[@M-S_4321]

You did feel it in his singing. It is a spiritually moving song. This performance was an Immortal Moment caught on video.

[@michaelroques743]

I love your reaction. Very genuine. Listen to Down with the sickness to see what Disturbed really sounds like. They are a metal band

[@drServitis]

THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS COVER I WAS DRIVING VERY LATE AT NIGHT THROUGH THE EVERGLADES IN FLORIDA, FULL MOON, TOP DOWN, NOT ANOTHER CAR ON THE ROAD, AND THIS SONG CAME ON THE RADIO. I TURNED THE VOLUME WAY UP. IT WAS A REALLY MAGICAL EXPERIENCE!

[@chriscummings6997]

Great story, dude!!

[@wikidclownchris]

Similar story but for me I was coming home from work around 2am something happened and before I knew it tears were running down from one of my eyes

WHY ARE WE YELLING

[@ColinRichards1]

I'm jealous of that experience

[@deborahclappe108]

David was sick the night he performed this. They asked him if he wanted to cancel, and he said he didn't want to disappoint the audience who was expecting him. He is the consumate performer.

[@Templarofsteel88]

well, that and he got through it by doing it sitting down.

[@NormTaylor-pn6xu]

Well this is one of the greatest and best songs of all time, and nobody does it better than original arttest Simon And Garfunkel. But then whatever makes you quiver and shake also makes this music wonderful, as the pleasure of the mind supercedes everything, and you definitly give my mind much pleasure, Thank You,,,

[@JamesDooney]

You can really see this version has moved you. It's like we get to see the musical journey you are going on whilst listening to it. I figure you stopped the track when you did to regain on the inside. Its GREAT TO SEE !!

[@coreytaylor163]

I was going home at 11pm and just played it on spotify while walking alone in dark and quiet ,, very exhausting day after work ,, and i feel relieved ,, thats the first time i heard this version ,, and i fell inlove with it,, And after a year i played it with my wife and she love it ,, My wife is in training now ,almost 3years without seeing each other and when i play these song ,, i missed her so much

[@heavyshesaid]

I have listened to this song countless times and about 4:15 the big chills start , hair stands up on my arms...it gets me everytime. I think this is one of if not the top soul reaching gut wrenching song ever imo! I love David's voice it's so pure and clear it's magic. I like your reaction ,it looks like you are on the verge of tears a few times.I paused it and now can't wait to see your reaction when he kicks it up a few notches!

[@boqndimitrov8693]

even sick, this man sings incredibly well !!

[@andrewrossi5434]

Great point! Not sure if a lot of people knew he was sick that day

[@smavtmb2196]

Paul Simon himself gave high praise to them for this version. It very moving

[@elainepearson4817]

Paul also added the connection on his own Social Media pages - can't get better kudos than that. Personally I think Disturbed's arrangement is better than Simon & Garfunkel's version as, in my opinion, this is not a 'nice' song it is a warning song BUT don't get me wrong I loved S&G's version when it came out in 1963/4 but at least with David Draiman's words in the song are more understandable. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@finfan_ttv]

No to mention biss, that he was recovering from the flu during this performance,, still crushed it.. his voice is so moving. David dramian is a legend

[@ericblough491]

If no one has answered your question about what those drums are called, they are called tympanies. Nice reaction Bisscute, it is a very amazing arrangement.

[@holgersurray]

... and the German word would be "Kesselpauken" or short "Pauken".

[@matteisele3335]

Or "kettle drums"

[@jenniferstephens4191]

I love that David's voice is so fluid, and seems relaxed in all of his ranges. Even when he frizzes. I can't sing well, but my ears are (too) sharp. Pretty, and pretty powerful. Nice.

[@markdaube507]

Yet another example of how the best voices can be found in heavy metal. Geoff Tate (Queensryche), Kip Winger (Winger), David Coverdale (Whitesnake), Brittney Slayes (Unleash the Archers), Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Simone Simons (Epica) all possess incredible voice you should explore.

[@jeffwellman8347]

Excellent Choice. Good reaction. David Draiman comes from a long line of Jewish Cantors and even started to train as one himself. He brings the musical skill and spiritual feel to this song.

[@odjida213]

Finally…someone who͎ reacted to this song and did not try to analyze it !!! You can see it in her facial expression..her heart felt this…the true reaction !!!! subscribed !!!!!

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you for this kind words

[@SAGE_Dust]

I notice for most ppl this version evokes an EMOTIONAL RESPONSE as was intended and as is appropriate. ☝😎

[@LazyVaderYT]

Paul Simon said in an interview this is disturbed song now one of the highest attributes you can receive when doing a cover song this version matches the emotion behind the lyrics of the song where as the original seemed to be to cheerful of a tune

[@rocknrollafriends]

Great exhibition. with that growing voice, sadness turned to anger, epic moment for music, beautiful react, keep it up

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you so much, glad you liked it ❤

[@seandobson6221]

Disturbed will always be one of my favorite groups. David Draiman is such a cool vocalist. Disturbed does several covers that they do well. There’s this one, Land Of Confusion(Genesis cover), Shout(Tears For Fears cover). I think you could do any song from Down With the Sickness and not go wrong. dropping Plates, Stupified, Down With The Sickness, The Game, 10000 Fists, Stricken

[@froodtube]

A less known one I didn't even know about until recently is their great cover of 'Midlife Crisis' if you haven't heard it yet. For those that enjoyed this 'Sound of Silence' be warned it is a bit more 'traditional' Disturbed kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp_VaK16lLtgj6s

[@TimberWolf762]

Just a few days ago, the vocalist here - David Draiman - tweeted that The Warning and Plush gave him hope. "Young powerful women playing real instruments and writing and playing songs the entire rock genre can be proud of." *The Warning* is 3 sisters whose music has roots in classic rock, with grunge, punk, and other elements mixed in. Try 'Evolve' or 'Disciple' or 'Animosity' for some of their new stuff.

David was super sick with flu when he did the Conan show...he is incredible!!!

Draiman has been in the profession for decades. If you look at his early years you'd see a guy that looks completely different. I think he gets better with age.

David is a classically trained singer who sings in a metal/rock band (Disturbed)

[@daven4297]

As a child, thanks to my mother, I listened to this song sung by Simon and Gafunkel and I always liked this song. I heard this performance a few years ago. And in my humble opinion, it is much better than the original, which is also delicious. Here it is a growing tension from the first notes. A wonderful voice... And a very eloquent title... Great song, brilliant performance. Unfortunately, this song will always be associated with the events of a few years ago, when during a WOSP concert, the mayor of Gdańsk was murdered on stage. This song performed by Disturbed was a tribute from the city's citizens to the president. Great great song. Mind-blowing!!! PS. Sorry for my English :)

The drums are kettle-drums or tympani, often known as tymps.

[@bruceheckerman7343]

I enjoyed very much watching this with you. So here is something you may not know: Paul Simon wrote this song while sitting in the dark on his bathroom floor. It was the night after Robert Kennedy was assassinated. Upon hearing this version of his song, Paul contacted David and told him "This is your song now." David was very gracious to accept such a rare honor. The official video, filmed in black and white, is a lot made tribute to this song that is not to be missed! ❤️

[@circleofthewolfairsoft7419]

The kettle drums are some of the best dramatic tones in my kit, if you use them at the right time. This was added at the perfect time, to make a point. I have the windchills, gong, the all famous cowbell and other eye candy in my kit. Most of which is just that eye candy only being used once in awhile for certain songs. But the kettle drum is always good for darker tones, it brings the emotions up and gets everyone to pay attention, Be Safe!

[@stephenquinn9188]

Also in "Disarm" by The Smashing Pumpkins, timpani is so impressive. And, in "Also sprach Zarathustra".

"and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made" Truer and more poignant words have never been heard. "People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening". I read where a commenter said "That you get the feeling Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning to us to not stay on the path we were on. Disturbed's version was a cry out in anger because we did not heed the warning.

Drums are Timpani. Many timpani can change pitch accurately w/ the use of a foot pedal. New suggestion: Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame live in Tokyo 1984 (another great vocal performance. (and the band too).).

[@classicrocklady6288]

You would like their song Hold On To Memories, especially with the video.

04:50 I'm sure this question has already been answered, but JIC it has not: those big drums are called timpanis, two or more kettledrums. I personally liked to call them "thunderdrums," LOL. A name I came up when I was a little kid many YEARS ago when I too didn't know what they're called.
