Coldplay - Clocks (hammered dulcimer/Hackbrett cover)

[@TheEadgyth]

Hello friends. As I know that I played this cover a bit too fast, I made an improved version of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5jYgGSfabqXjqc Enjoy!

[@bruncher11]

Actually I prefer the tempo of this version. This is your version, not Coldplay. Many classical conductors on tour first listen how their orchestra sounds in the visited concert hall. THEN they choose the adequate tempo. The reverberant the acoustics, the slower to play for an open sound with distinguishable notes. As you are no full band, this tempo fits to my tast very well, adding some spice to the orignal band version. Very nice.

[@bruncher11]

Any note shines through. So there is no need to play it slower, as long as the music keeps its effect on your listeners.

[@CaspiRose99]

I still come back to this day. 8 years ago our music teacher was teaching about instruments and showed us this exact video and I fell in love with the hammered dulcimer. 6 years ago I met an old gentlemen who was playing this instrument at the apple festival. And when he was taking a break asked if I could play it for fun as I'd never seen one in real life. He said of course and was impressed that I even knew what it was. One day I hope to have this instrument played at my wedding, if I ever get married.

[@marlened2681]

These hammer dulcimers are fantastic. I have always loved the stringed instruments best.

[@seancassell3778]

Wow...The dulcimer is such a beautiful sounding instrument.

[@sophiabeer6405]

Hat man einmal angefangen Hackbrett zu Spielen,dann spielt man immer und immer wieder. Der Klang allein ist Gänsemarkt pur. Finde es einfach Super. ..

[@StarshipPocketFox]

I wonder what modern music would sound like if the dulcimer won out against the guitar

[@alessiomagenta]

Dulcimer (aka santoor aka yangqin) is the ancestor of piano; piano has found strong applications in modern music, e.g. electronic music (think to MIDI transcriptions). so dulcimer actually wins IMO! :)

[@MintBiscuit]

It would ruin the feel of the instrument, it'd be like "not this instrument again" plus it probably takes actual skill and time to learn which 75% of popular artists don't have. :P

[@ConfettiCasket]

@@MintBiscuit So you're saying guitar *doesn't* take skill or time to learn? Please play Through the Fire and the Flames. Flawlessly. Shouldn't be a problem since guitar takes no skill.

[@MintBiscuit]

SpixiCafé excuse me...? I think you’re misunderstanding something

[@einePerson-]

But playing fast songs is incredible hard. I play since 3rd grade and I don't think that I'd be able to do that

[@zenpatta4609]

Wow, it sounds pretty good!!! I didn't know this beautiful instrument before.

[@johanpetrosruela3103]

Irene Dueñas It is an Hackbrett from the Swiss Alps

[@zenpatta4609]

Thanks for the information!

[@anjafitsch7011]

I'm sorry to correct you but this dulcimer is actually the "salzburger hackbrett" or chromatic dulcimer. in switzerland exist two forms of the dulcimer... the "appenzeller hackbrett" and the "walliser hackbrett" which are both diatonic dulcimers.

[@genli5603]

I love that you wrote the song name on your hand so that even if you don't name your file right, the still will tell you what it is.

[@corvanphoenix]

Ich weiss nicht ob ich Deuch oder English benutzen sollte, aber das war toll!! :D This is great! Thanks very much!

[@mrrudell]

very beautiful. I love the hammered dulcimer and i love this song

[@OrangeKat7]

This is seriously one of the coolest thing I've ever seen. I love that you write the name on your hand for each song:3 You've got an excellent taste in music too:D You're truly talented, well done, keep doing all your forms of artwork

[@eggbert1475]

This video is pure class, loved it.

[@erzengelmichael-schutzmana2034]

Really amazing …. Love it 🎶🎵🎶

[@Ballenxj]

Stumbled on to this by accident. Definitely worth thumb up. Better than expected.

[@halexp]

i played this 4 years, u made me fun doing it again! great!!!!

[@TheEadgyth]

Oh my god! That's great. Keep on doing music!

[@SplendidFellow]

WAY too many covers for this song out there, but this one is definitely worthwhile. Excellent playing. I just might learn that now. (I'm a dulcimer player too!)

That is the first time I have seen that particular grip on the hammers, must give it a try.

[@Lastcookie]

Amazing

Wow, super Technik, sehr gut gespielt.

Nice hammers! Great playing!

[@TricksterCuckoo]

I agree, it's a bit too fast, but I really like it, it sounds great.

[@dominiksiebenhofer5015]

sehr gut

[@MareiBreitmeier]

I wanted to ask where you got the sheet music from, I also play the dulcimer and wanted to play it. You play so well❤

[@jadai4216]

Das gefällt mir.

[@User0000000000000004]

This sounds perfect if you play it back at 3/4 speed.

[@MareiBreitmeier]

Ich habe eine frage ich spiele auch hackbrett und wollte Frage wo du die Noten her hasst. Du spielst so gut❤

[@arielcristinedasilvasantos9516]

uau!

[@Yand_Durinul]

Absolutely Loved it, great job! I do however have one small issue with it; You're Playing too fast, if you reduce the video speed to 0.75x it syncs almost perfectly with the original. That being said, you have made me want to buy and play a hammered dulcimer now, my Bank account thanks you.

[@TheEadgyth]

Blackheart I already uploaded a slower version, if you are interested. That's awesome that you want to buy a dulcimer. Go for it!

[@Yand_Durinul]

I've just checked out the other version. Way Better. In future I probably should get into a habit of reading comments before typing my own.

[@babsikonig6844]

Hey das hört sich richtig super an!! Woher hast du denn die Noten?? Könntest du mir die vill auch schicken??

[@CaptainPancake1000]

I like it faster. I tend to play things like 2x faster than I should normally Haha

[@DutchNewbJr]

0:14 speed on x0.75 and its fine.

[@janinaroos481]

Hey, ich finde deine Hackbrettcovers richtig toll! - Wo nimmst du die Noten dafür her? schaust du nach modifizierten oder nimmst du die Originalnoten?

[@stefaniehaugg5885]

Sehr schön. Woher hast du denn die Noten

[@ΛαγγιώτηΑφροδίτη]

Does anybody know how much does a hackbrett coasts?

[@TheEadgyth]

Prices start at around 500€ depending on the range and material.

[@minitaddy]

super video :). wollte fragen ob du mir die Noten eventuell zukommen lassen könntest :). wäre super, würde es gerne selber probieren.

[@fernandoanayagamez4642]

Marvellous! Where did you buy it?

[@TheEadgyth]

I'm from Germany. So I bought my hammered dulcimer from Harald Teller. He's a German dulcimer builder. I've got the model H90.

[@fernandoanayagamez4642]

+TheEadgyth Thanks!

[@Bruno-hd9qo]

I want a german dulcimer for Christmas

[@rosiefesperl319]

@@TheEadgyth am also currently residing in Germany and learning to play Dulcimer by myself, may I know your first string (up) note, is it A or D?

[@TheEadgyth]

It's a D. My range is G3 to D6.

[@fisch084]

Hallo, du spielst das einfach richtig toll! Wo hast du die Noten her? Habe sie leider nicht gefunden. Habe auch angefangen Hackbrett zu spielen und würde deine tolle Version gerne als Ansporn nehmen, viel zu trainieren.

[@TheEadgyth]

+Fisch 08 Danke dir, dass dir das Video so gut gefällt. Die Noten sind eine Mischung aus Klaviernoten und selbst Arrangiertem. Klaviernoten lassen sich meist recht gut umschreiben, indem man manchmal nur die Bassstimme weglässt. Die Covers von Adrian Lee sind ziemlich gut und manche seiner Fans haben sich die Mühe gemacht, sie in Noten zu schreiben. Wenn du einfach mal danach suchst, wirst du sicherlich fündig. Viel Spaß beim "Trainieren"!

[@SäschSinFläsh]

hi

[@Oblivionnightshadow]

Cold you post the notes?

[@alvet8154]

einfach nur schön :). Klingt wie ein iranisches Santur - wo liegt der unterschied?

[@TheEadgyth]

Danke. Santur und Hackbrett stammen aus derselben Instrumentenfamilie. Im Grunde kann man verschiedene Hackbrettformen überall auf der Welt finden, beispielweise das Yangqin aus China oder das Zymbal aus dem Pannonischen Raum. Meist unterscheiden sie sich etwas in Form und wie sie gestimmt sind. Leider habe ich noch nie auf einem Santur gespielt, weshalb ich die genauen Unterschiede selbst nicht kenne.

[@franzwirzaus8307]

Das Hackbrett wie wir es benutzen stammt ursprünglich vom iranischen Instrument ab. Unsere Form wurde in den Alpen populär, deswegen hat ein europäisches Hackbrett in der Regel einen größeren Resonanzkörper, die Alpenhackbretter mussten nämlich laut sein um neben den anderen Alpeninstrumenten noch zu hören zu sein. Das Hackbrett im Video ist eine leicht modernisierte Form, früher wurden hauptsächlich vierchörige Hackbretter (bei denen hat ein Ton 4 Saiten statt 3) verwendet, die einen lauteren, volleren Klang haben, sowie einen leicht größeren Resonanzkörper. Außerdem wurden alte Hackbretter im Sitzen gespielt, entweder auf einem Ständer oder einfach an der Tischkante angelehnt. Achja, +TgeEadgyth dein Hackbrett ist auch auf G als Grundton gestimmt oder? Ich habe nämlich ein vierchöriges Hackbrett, das normalerweise genauso aufgebaut ist, nur dass es standartmäßig 27 Töne hat, die unten beim tiefen G beginnen. Mein Hackbrett klingt aber nicht ganz so hell, sondern eher etwas blecherner, eher in Richtung Gitarre. Schläger verwend ich die selben wie du, in der Regel mit der Lederseite nach unten. Könnt auch einfach am Alter der Seiten liegen.

[@TheEadgyth]

Meine tiefste Saite ist das g. Allerdings ist mein Hackbrett inzwischen auch schon stolze 13 Jahre alt und der Klang ändert sich auch stark, welche Schlägel ich benutze. Die, die ich z.B. in meinem In Dreams Video verwende, haben einen unglaublich sanften Klang.

[@franzwirzaus8307]

Meins is knapp 50 Jahre alt. Und ich verwende eigentlich nur diese mit zwei Seiten, bei denen eine mit Leder und eine mit Stoff versetzt ist. Ich spiel allerdings immer mit meiner Schwester, also mit Gitarre als Begleitinstrument, da spielt man grundsätzlich etwas anders als bei einem Soloinstrument.

[@tootired76]

This is why at 23 I gave up playing bass and any aspirations of becoming a famous muscition. I sucked at playing basss and guitar!

[@billybudd45]

you don't play to be famous you play because you love it.

[@jenb7756]

Wow! Triple courses of strings for each note! Does that make it harder to tune?

[@TheEadgyth]

No, that doesn't make it harder to tune. It just takes longer.

[@franzwirzaus8307]

Earlier, a hammered dulcimer had 4 strings per note as standart, some even have 5. And mine takes about 45 minutes. But the strings are also harder than Guitar strings, which means you don't have to tune them really often.

[@ewow35]

Nice!!! 😀 PS: Did you drink a RedBull before recording this? LOL.

[@TheEadgyth]

A quick mind plays its instrument quickly. 😉

[@hahamorehaha6869]

Play sounds of silence

[@actsofarsonism]

Slow it down friend! it takes a good musician to be able to play fast, but an even better one to know when to slow it down. there are times that you messed up but wouldn't have if you did it at a normal human speed lmao. sorry but its just constructive criticism! keep it up!

[@TheEadgyth]

Yes, I know. It's an old video and by now I think I'm improving my speed. You have to understand that you can get quite nervous when the camera is recording and you've already did a dozend takes.

[@actsofarsonism]

Oh trust me I know and I can't even imagine how hard this thing is to play. Still fantastic work! Just listened to your rendition of misty mountains cold and was taken aback. You've clearly improved and good on you for being one of the main hammered dulcimer posters!

[@TheEadgyth]

"One of the main hammered dulcimer posters!" Oh you, come on. I'm blushing. :-D

[@solypsist3280]

kinda too fast..

[@Stiftlandlulu]

Die Schlägel kenne ich doch

[@dogdeck]

too fast

[@TheEadgyth]

Yes, I know. That's what bugs me the most about this video.But I always get so excited, when I'm recording as I want to play the song almost perfectly and after a dozend takes you just go for the least miserable one.
