Through the Fire and Flames - DragonForce [Speed Bag Cover]

[@electricwizard1949]

The fighter: "I strike the dragon with my greatsword!" The ranger: "I use hail of arrows on the dragon and his minions!" The wizard: "I cast fireball!" The monk:

[@speedbagbard]

The DM: Roll for attack. (NAT20) Roll for critical confirm. (NAT20) You scoff in the face of limitations and the lack of foot pedals as you deliver a flurry of blows so violent and yet so rhythmic to the dragon. The dragon initially scoffs at the perceived lack of damage to its scales before hearing a distinct shrill static-like noise in its ears and blowing up into chunks of meat that oddly resemble a bard's hurried scrawl of a quarter note. When you return to your hometown, you find that tales of your recent conquest have encouraged the development of an exchange program between the monastery and the CarnieG musical academy. Bards flock to strengthen their feeble bodies in the monastery, and the monks aspire to temper rhythm and reason into their ruthlessness. The local guardsman comprised of barbarians have expressed interest in joining this cross-cultural exchange, explaining that this would benefit their berserkers combatants by providing them a non-destructive outlet of entertainment. The local tavern owner feverishly seconds their request.

I refuse to believe this is a 2024 youtube video, let alone 5 days old. This video feels like it should be in 240p

Imagine making this guy mad and he just crouches and starts doing this to your sack

it's actually peak 2024 youtube, you can appreciate both but you don't have to undermine how funny some of the shit that's posted today is

[@Therealyoda34]

This is what youtube was made for. Not corporations making millions, but normal dudes being fucking godlike.

[@PattyTrills]

this feels like a 2007 yt video and I'm here for it

[@09widji90]

agree, it almost feels nostalgic

[@keeyajavan]

facts

[@DarkkestNite]

No intro no outro no sponsor, just what it says on the tin. Filmed in a basement. 1000/10 no notes.

[@Keirnoth]

What's even better is the comments are like an old YT video too. Everyone cracking nut jokes and people just having a good time. Very little arguing, very little "AKSHULLY", just people enjoying someone busting a nutbag.

[@dk7472]

can you post tabs

[@rtyuik7]

as much as id love to laugh at the joke youre trying to make, i could see some Actual Benefit to someone who needs the "left hand/right hand" "punch/elbow" "inward/outward" designations...

Hahaha!

[@opie9617]

Learned it by ear. Sorry!

[@VincentLobster]

The funniest part is if you listen to just the audio, you can't really tell if it's a speed bag or someone just playing Guitar Hero 3 😂

[@JC20XX]

Holy shit you're right 😂

[@DarianTrinity]

There are differences if you know the GH3 chart as well as a pro player does

[@faithcrisis2138]

My thought exactly! (Oh my God, I'm one of those people 😂)

[@HarrySchreiner-vu9kg]

These are insane performances... Best skills I've seen so far.

[@speedbagbard]

Thank you very much!!

[@cxpKSip]

Insane.

We finally found him. The Final Boss of KZbin.

[@aurapris9591]

This video feels like it could've come out 15 years ago, it's amazing

[@packjackisback]

I thought it did lol

[@edl4220]

Very much old school youtube vibes. Like he would have been in that south park episode

[@Notalobster]

I am a drummer, and I box. This makes me feel like the whole of KZbin was created just for me. I've rarely felt so special. Probably my favorite video ever.

[@IniresMirrors]

1) I just want to say that I appreciate you not editing out the misses, like YT guitarists (myself included) do. 2) This was better executed than Dragonforce’s live show in 2006.

[@JasonDeCarloGuitar]

This is the greatest instrument since mayonnaise

[@MetalSharpensMetal]

I understood that reference 😂

[@DarkCamui]

Man the algorithm knows I need to be reminded why KZbin exploded back in the early 2000s This isn't as easy as he makes it look

[@Chekkles]

I love how at 4:00 taking off the bandana wasn’t “I’m about to murder this shit” (not that he didn’t, he fucking killed it), it was more of “God please help me for the next 3 minutes”

[@St0ckwell]

This has huge, absolutely towering 2009 energy. I am in disbelief at this video's age

[@iamthemoneyj]

It's amazing that he can cover this when the speedbag is so low in the original mix! Truly impressive

[@BurstingVeins1]

As ridiculous as this is, this is legitimately one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Keeping near perfect beat rhythm with this song with a punching bag is nuts.

[@jeekboi]

your friends nuts when he falls asleep first at the sleepover

[@dewgyhouserm.d.4224]

I don’t know how everyone can feel the aura that this should’ve been a video made 10 years ago just suddenly reappearing by the algorithm

[@de_oScar]

Mike Tyson has been real quiet since this dropped

[@zvidanyatvetski8081]

The fact that you manage to get back on time right away during the small slip ups is honestly amazing, if you're not a drummer you're beyond human

[@Talesfromtheshelf]

Speedbag Hero would actually go crazy

[@DanArnets1492]

The problem is the peripheral, the game itself is 200% doable

[@1000MilesAway]

You know he's serious when he walks into the frame sweating like he already beat multiple people and needs to cooldown

[@sparking023]

"So, do you play any instruments?" "It's complicated..." Awesome to watch

[@ross9804]

Absolutely mythic youtube algorithm recommendation

[@shivambhatt8380]

this dude was definitely just doing his workout when the song came on, noticed the synchronization between the double bassdrum and speed bag, and immediately decided on a new mission in life. this rules.

[@HECTORCOMEHOME]

nah man, check his channel- he's got a shit load of these and now i'm obsessed

[@jacksonfischer8270]

This is what the internet was made for, and I am 100% here for it

[@Metallifuch]

seeing you actually get tired and make mistakes for once gave me an appreciation for the difficulty of your craft. You didn't wimp out tor the solos either. the headband came off and you went insano mode. bravo

[@AngelUribe18]

"do you play any instruments?" "yeah" "which one" "the speed bag" "speed bag? that's not an instrument" "Hold my headband"

[@thebestever7788]

I'm not sure why someone would take the time to do this, but I'm glad someone did.

[@rileytucker4045]

I like how the algorithm hit us all at the same time

I don't think it's a bathroom, it's just the heater room

[@BosGaurus05]

This is the most unique thing I've watched this year

[@nLinxy]

I don't know how or why this was recommended but I am happy that it was.

[@Snail_Corp]

If you have ever hit a speed bag you would know how difficult this is. Absolutely crazy. Peak weird flex.

[@nightcrawlermc]

Yeah it’s crazy how anyone can learn this and have actual consistency as long as some of these songs are and at such high bpm!

When you've reached mythic tier monk with fury of blows, but also picked up a level in bard.

I will actually show this as an example to my students of how everything can be a musical instrument if you have enough creativity. Thanks for sharing this with the world, love from Brazil 💚💛💙🤍

[@ajaxmajor]

i was expecting a legendary shitpost but i got a legend

[@erzhanva]

Yoooo! Fire triplet singles at like 2:38 I’ve played drums for a long long time and every time I see your videos I’m even more impressed. I kickboxed for a while so I actually learned how to work with a speedbag and they are SO sensitive and difficult to keep a solid beat with. As always thank you, you are indeed the Bard we have all been seeking.

[@PrecursorIdeliron]

Sometimes, the algorithm gets it right. This is absolutely one of those times. I am slack jawed at how well this works…

[@radbradmusicartist]

I dont know much about speedbag techniques, but this has got to be next level

[@ichiro319]

"So, what instrument do you play?" This guy: "It's complicated"

[@therawkhawk64]

The algorithm has blessed me with this. I now finally know what happens when the bard multiclasses into monk.

[@splatninja9447]

Today I learned there is at least one person on this planet that turned a speed bag into an instrument. What a world

[@ActualDragonTears]

You make it look so effortless and easy but having experience myself I know this is absolutely INSANE! Expecially at the guitar solo, absolute fists of lightning.

[@TheOrangeSunsetGaming]

You break into his house and all you hear is, "alexa, play through the fire and the flames, by dragonforce" and then youre instantly in a Coma.

[@formeraxe117]

This reminds me of the mid 2000s youtube where it was just peoples whacky talents and entertainment.

[@effectz_end]

The monk-bard multiclass when the dragon starts breathing fire:

[@HallsteinI]

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

[@SneakyBastard-oi4eb]

Does he live in a country full of bats, by any chance?

[@Dankbanana1]

This song was made for exactly this. A speed bag cover. Incredible

[@DaekoTan]

So this is what a Monk-Bard multiclass looks like...

[@christopherknowles]

Nice to see all the boys still carrying on through the fire and flames.

[@charlesjohn3635]

no clue why this was suddenly recommended to me, but gah damn, thats some skill

[@SkrymSkript]

Sometimes, the algorithm feels like a homie showing me the sickest video he's seen all day.

[@kaede_but_yt]

The way he just rips off the headband before the solo was **chef's kiss**

[@CocoonMasterBrendan]

This is the kind of stuff KZbin was made for 👊

[@edwintovargarcia]

Hold up, that spin pause at 3:02 was actually clean af

[@jamesfitzpatrick9607]

What gets me is how gentle the hands are when stopping the bag
