I never realized how many little percussion elements were on his horn

[@abedinsubashi]

I hope that sometime in the future Derek makes his own signature horn with all the extras for people to buy

[@BryceHebertSax]

Lol you aren't going to believe this Got to play with him about a month ago and as it turns out he is releasing his own signature model P. Mauriat "Beatbox Sax" with a lot of the features seen in the video plus a few. I'm pretty sure he said it would be unveiled at NAMM this year! But man, he sure is a crazy player, very inspiring and down to earth 😁

[@oompaloompa413]

Adolphe would be proud to see someone be so innovative with his instrument.

[@SaxSpy]

absolutely

[@Ryn-se7oh]

I love the look of that sax

[@krishyadav3132]

Love the green pearls on the keys

[@ramirezsax]

Awesome video SaxSpy! 🙌🏼🎷

[@SaxSpy]

Thanks, man!

[@1967stp]

Derek, love your style. But, snarky background comment at 3:39- 3:40 had me in stitches!

[@Woolley_like_sheep]

Derek is such a creative outside the box kinda thinker

[@Prof_Jeff]

Thanks for making and posting this. I saw Derek in concert Nov. 2022. He was amazing. I watched several of his videos between the time the show was announced and the day of the show. Very outside the box as others have said.

[@juandalg4907]

It’s pretty cool, but it hurts to watch a little too ngl

[@user-yz5us7zp9n]

Oh this beautiful jody jazz mouthpiece...

[@marcins7619]

Great video! You do good work! Please more

[@bobblues1158]

Beautiful! Derek is one of the absolute originals!!!!

[@drwallysax]

Very cool - and awesome camera work!

[@heanbo]

Great quality video! Suprised you could find a quiet place at NAMM!!!

[@SaxSpy]

Thanks! For most of the upcoming videos I came in 2 hours before the show started to get quiet space for everyone :)

[@MAnuciao79]

What a nice guy! And I love the things he does btw too

[@alexsax8409]

I apreciate you for your work ! You have realy original sax

[@tristankincaid7237]

How would one do a “Leo P overtone gliss” without an altissimo f# key? I’ve been trying for months and can only really get something simple on low b flat.

[@christophervolk6087]

Its literally the secret of the universe

[@DaDarkGuy]

Much easier to start on a bari low A and work on being able to slur ascending overtones.

[@jorkles4691]

Practice lots of overtones

[@cesarrodriguez3352]

Amazing!!!

[@mobzilla29]

Why does this man look like linus

[@SaxSpy]

Not saying he is, but have you ever seen Derek Brown and Linus in a room together?

[@TWO20]

@@SaxSpy XD

[@fastrabbit22]

Great video.

[@davidclaro152]

I like the F sharp key on the side. Definitely innovative along with the rest of the horn.

[@thepianokid27]

Derek is truly out of this world…. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@vwertix1662]

The brace on the bottom looks really cool

[@Stephan-Kammerer]

Super cool!

[@eladgellert]

Derek is the man his so creative and inspiring!

[@alejolopez27]

What a cool guy! Cool sax too!

[@nehemiahstewart]

This guy is a genius. Thanks for sharing!

[@SaxSpy]

he's a mad scientist of sorts for sure

[@CourtWatchAu]

grreat, i like the guiro rod

[@fitchyyboi]

I met this guy at Midwest clinic! super cool down to earth guy who knows more than anyone I've met about how the sax works heh

[@phdance7]

So cool! Very inspiring! I’m gonna try some percussion! You’re amazing! Thank you for making my day!

[@SaxSpy]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@kristindowner9897]

Oh my goodness!! You are so amazingly “outside-the-box” creative! 👍 And you have HUGE hands!!

[@HayKay_]

3 years later P. Mauriat embrace these innovation by Derek and made a beat box sax 👏🏽

[@SaxSpy]

it was at this namm that Derek told me they were working on his version :)

[@TWO20]

Someone needs to tell Derek about key risers

[@thesecretisyouaddreverb]

Dope

[@DanielBaldwinSax]

Jammin

[@yoskid3646]

Genius guy.

[@juanhincapie1352]

This guy reminds me of those people that makes every excuse TO NOT PLAY THE FUCKING HORN.

[@richandrews7]

Inspiring . . .

[@davidharrismusician]

WILD

[@kylegeee]

the innovation to the high F# key is next level i wish i trusted myself enough to do that to my horn!

[@josedecarvalho5459]

Never seen something like that

[@SaxSpy]

pretty wild

[@christophervolk6087]

Can someone make a custom sax for this man

[@afonsomendes2811]

That went from a sax to a full band

[@BigParadox]

Makes me think of Roland Kirk.

[@TWO20]

It’s a beautiful horn regardless

[@uasleicardososantos110]

Instrumento top

[@ibiamgodfavourchukwuemeka8150]

Do you offer private lessons 🙏🙏

[@samuelwildiney4925]

Que modelo de correia está usando por favor ?

[@SaxSpy]

Just Joe's

[@bryandaslime]

What are the notes at 1:34

[@SaxSpy]

He's doing like 3 at the same time, not a chance I can figure that out!

[@Lucas.Blevins]

This is his song “Dyakuyu” or “Thank You”. He actually sells the sheet music on his website if you’re interested!

That poor poor saxophone

[@SaxSpy]

It was built to play music!

[@jonviol]

Frightening . Absorbing upload though .

[@oh537]

Poor saxophone

[@SaxSpy]

A sax is a tool and this one was made to make music!
