Tracking down the weirdest instruments in the world

[@emmablackery]

If we don’t get a Rhythm King EP by this time next week I’ll be both surprised and disappointed

[@veerdotmp3]

mommy is that you

[@Chris_thebrit]

Emma Blackery please bring your paramore hair back I remember it back I 2008/09 ❤️🤘🏻

[@timsmith618]

When's the next Demma Plays? Jk, I'm sure you get that constantly, you guys do you. Actual question, will you buy Dan's book?

[@amaracea]

A “pilot switch” is a switch that lights up. Why in the world they felt the need to actually write “pilot” on it is a mystery that may never be solved.

[@rparker069]

it's pretty insane that when they made this box they would have never in their lifetime ever considered it being used like that

[@micahharford7088]

Your profile pic represents my friends talking to me

[@gabrielsinclair5941]

You can imagine the inventors over at maestro thinking ‘this will be an ideal compact automated accompanist for busy musicians.’ Decades later: let’s add distortion and rap verses. Job done. Love creative minds like your Andrew, flipping givens on their heads.

[@JacobCarlson]

I was a lil disappointed that you didn't purchase the Jazzaphone, but the Rhythm Kind with distortion was amazing.

[@iLoveBeansXD]

Jacob Carlson Same. Was hoping he'd get that one and try it out

[@darbyball637]

I also excited for the jazzophone

[@Gildaaaaaaas]

Must be hella hard to play

[@jasmineqiang90]

Me too! but I looked at the price and it's like stupidly expensive

[@JacobCarlson]

Jasmine Qiang Dang! That's unfortunate

[@CG5]

Someone likes the Beastie Boys.

[@natedavid3873]

CG5 Or Death Grips

[@cubic6790]

Or russian hardbass

[@urskn.7985]

Ben Gough who doesnt like russian hardbass

[@chemac4950]

All great genres/artist

[@satanlxvesme]

Or Tyler the creator

[@BLDH]

This series is just what I need! Thank you Andrew! :)

[@mrdrifter4676]

Same!

[@Schadenfreude4231]

"I can't find any info on the price, BUT!" *bombass song starts playing*

[@youngmosh]

Okay but can we appreciate your great cinematography and editing?

[@TechKidShazil]

Oli Searcy ikr?

[@64revolt]

This.

[@lukelewis6195]

it gave me a sezieure

[@JemmyJoeAGoGo]

“Back in the day” I used to scour flea markets and garage sales for weird, rare instruments too. Once I heard the most amazing percussion instrument being played and I RAN to find what t was. It was a kid dragging a shovel on cement. Turn THAT into a song, please.

[@alexhauptmann298]

Fittingly folksy response from a banjo player. Props to your storytelling skills.

[@laurentbergeronmusic]

This is a great concept for a series. You managed to get something really cool out of that machine.

[@elimorgan3208]

he did

[@huskySSBM]

year of the snitch sounds great so far

[@jgosier]

The Tekashi theme song.

[@mcp6885]

Stay noided

[@yungpm]

@Professional Chav I think its it for now boys :( DG as a band have been radio silent for a few years now

[@maleforthedragon5177]

You win

[@nsiepmann]

I'm very excited for this series. And for the upcoming album consisting entirely of aggressive raps from the point of view of drum machines.

[@TableTopSloth]

Nick Siepmann yes please!

[@samaBR333]

maybe pilot is something like "stand by"? which turns on just the valves but not the output.

[@conorbryant5103]

Dude your videography is just getting so freaking good. Legit one of the best on youtube.

[@bigmaczukno]

this is the hardest rap hes done recently as well

[@maurilioalbertofernandezde2798]

Nathan Macgregor was that a death grips cover?

[@aidancanoli]

haha or a yeezus bonus track

[@user-xq2xf3fd3q]

Aidan Connolly LOL

[@Blue_Camera_Cat]

i came here for double bell trumpet sax and was disappointed

[@tristanperciful6609]

Yeah same

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

#Metoo

[@sed8181]

I want to try playing the alto jazzophone it would be challenging to play because you would be required to do overtones to play some notes.

[@tuxxito]

):

[@jeremyfagen]

#metoo

[@elijahsly]

I think you accidentally made a Death Grips song lol

[@SCWood]

YUH

[@metabaron90]

big if tru

[@jamietaylor8663]

needs moar screaming

[@inactivechannel145]

LMAO I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS

[@hanma4166]

*BIAAAAAAAAAAATCCHHHHH*

[@SanicStudios]

BREAKING NEWS: youtube creator hates drummers and became death grips

[@pazifuwant]

okay but that van gogh bar ACTUALLY SET MY HOUSE ON FIRE

[@pazifuwant]

omg thanks andrew I

[@dhruvgajjar4953]

Same lmao

[@tylerdexter4323]

Oh dude, this brings me back. We had an organ growing up downstairs, and it had 40 or 50 of those rhythm on/off buttons. It was so awesome.

[@nanchou7139]

the song at the end is amazing, so worth watching all of the video

[@StefanCreates]

Are you implying the rest of the video isn't interesting? o_O

[@nanchou7139]

its more like reaching an orgasm id say

[@SquidMcNuggets]

We need more of this song

[@apotheosis21]

This may be my favorite song Andrew has ever done.

[@Gorillagamer44]

Reminds me of Kanye

[@teamyordle23]

Huang Grips -- Sprayin' execution, witch fingernails clawin' through them Crawlin' through them tunnels, losing touch with everything I'm doin' Argh, mass confusion, can't make more electrocution

[@beatsbybutch8154]

WEIRD GEAR

[@petermarsh4578]

1:16 that transition was like something from an Edgar Wright movie! It's details like that that make your channel one of my favourites :)

[@audreynogales]

Mostly Scott Pilgrim inspired, probably

[@jasper24601]

Absolute perfection

[@surayaa5680]

I was yawning while that weird geaar logo popped up and thought i yawned myself into another dimension

[@607]

Surayaa Haha, that unexpectedly made me laugh!

[@SERVICERMUSIC]

why do i want the rhythm king as just an aesthetic piece in my studio

[@henry-jc6se]

This may be one of my favourite videos ever!!

[@HumbleBasse]

u rly suck then

[@henry-jc6se]

Simon Tain thanks

[@p3ty3t1]

this is the best song death grips has ever made

[@benbaez6044]

That "Let's go" might be the most hype thing I've ever heard

[@JLeon40]

3:28 sounds like hotline bling

[@EddieHart]

JLeon40 came here to say this

[@katastrophy1333]

i feel special that i hit the like button at the same time as the high five

[@zavamation476]

press f to pay respects

[@murtletheturtle2166]

2:51 it sounds like a taser

[@CreeperNinjaProductions]

The camera angles and editing in this video is beautiful

[@surrealboy1390]

Huang Grips>Death Grips

[@mikeloser5999]

Surreal Boy I totally agree with Andrew sounding like death grips

[@j0noOo]

facts

[@MrOcote-gp9fu]

Always go beyond maaaaaadness

[@aceynth7853]

ANDREWMAFIA

[@jo_nm9484]

100 huangs

[@ashlowe2217]

Someone's been listening to Death Grips

[@Oliver_Hallowee]

Zarfunkle totally

[@mikeloser5999]

i agree dude

[@aclonymous]

Zarfunkle the beat is death grips, the vocals are beastie boys

[@ATONAL6173]

*Pushes glasses back up nose nerdily* "Uh, the subtitling at 6:09 say 'Tempe', when Andrew's lyrics use the homophone 'tempi', as the context surrounding it, 'Rhythm king' and 'Swing Pharaoh' make it abundantly clear."

[@AndyChamberlainMusic]

"Produced with an ear like Van Gogh" my favorite line of all time

[@moyosoofficial5042]

Andy Chamberlain Music he's used it before though

[@Chai_bug]

MoYoSo Official what’s it from? I noticed that the beginning was similar but it’s driving me crazy that I can’t think of the song the lyric is used in.

[@moyosoofficial5042]

Shania Roberts crass brass

[@alicecairn7807]

Love the lead thing at 5:50, and the delay of it fkn blew my mind that's really cool!

[@hahagostei]

OMG. I think that this video is one of the best well produced videos I ever seen. Thank you Andrew, you're not just a great musician, you're a great filmmaker too. A big inspiration for me and those who love this things.

[@B0Boman]

Oh man, that's the most old school SongsToWearPantsTo style track you've laid down in a long time! Loved it! Getting back to your roots!

[@billyjames78]

Andrew Huang confirmed Death Grips new member

[@mikeloser5999]

Mayleb Collins i like that people agree with people thinkin' dis sound like dg

[@billyjames78]

sulfur abcdefghijennifer tbf it’s not exactly ‘Guillotine’ but I quite like the idea that super calm Andrew joins a nu metal band😂

[@numberfive3323]

Mayleb Collins nu metal?

[@loganmavity2805]

Andrew is very dg

[@bisamkiez]

i was watching this with my three years old son, and he would burst in laughter every time you pressed that snare roll button

[@topshelf5736]

Highlight of my day? Yes. Yes it is

[@_girldog]

PILOT MEANS ITS THE PILOT SWITCH FOR ON/OFF

[@Sosasoundstn]

Opening this series with a Death Grips style track?! Gonna be hard to top it!

[@antonslayeranton6665]

Andrew now has back problems from carrying the rap game

[@simoncassel4030]

Such a nice idea👏🏻, best series ever!

[@kailorusso]

Hey Andrew, just want to say that ive been enjoying the hell out of your channel and that you have been a huge inspiration. such a positive and motivated person. keep up the great work!

[@TheHoundTheFox]

Andrewwwww this is so cool! We freaking love how damn creative you are!

[@mosheackman6095]

oh my god i love your channel

[@TheHoundTheFox]

No way! Thanks so much Moshe! 😊

[@Mijonju]

Soooo loving this new series!! More more more

[@MarsLos10]

-How was a night rock bar called back in the 1600's? -Bar-rock ...Baroque period, you know? Yeah, I'm sorry

[@Chai_bug]

MarsLos10 your current picture fits way too well for this joke. Thank you for everything good sir

[@MarsLos10]

Shania Roberts a perfect picture would be Bach with sunglasses😎

[@fakename3344]

Nah, Mozart's a classic. Sorry, I'll see myself out now...

[@KonraddeRuyter]

Don't apologize for a joke like that! Some people might find it a bit of a stretch, sure. But hey, if it ain't Baroque, don't fix it!

[@vhcxhbvg]

Isn't it pronounced bar oak?

[@EHiggins]

I watched this with 3D glasses and i travelled through time.

[@fanaticaH]

This is what I subscribed for.

[@friggityfrackimmadasasack7380]

oh wait

[@jerrettroberts9461]

That track is next level creative! Thanks for all the content Andrew! Keep on keeping on!

[@BobSmith-in1tu]

Mambo is basically Hotline Bling

[@jsclar]

Bob Smith The original sample from hotline bling probably used it

[@FrederikSegall]

yo it 100% is!!

[@mosheackman6095]

no, mambo is salsa on the 2

[@Yotrymp]

It's the other way around :p

[@MatoBeats]

Man, can't wait for more episodes from this series. Love what you did with it :D

[@seberster]

WHAT DID YOU SaY ABOUT DRUmmERs

[@seberster]

oh ok

[@mrpotat680]

ANDREW HUANG Lies I heard it...

[@Fatecreated]

Love the personality on the vocals. Finally got to hear you kick some rhymes

[@Snofielf]

straight up made a death grips song

[@ikmecyprus]

Pleasantly and amusingly surprised to hear some classic Greek bouzouki melody on 0:29 . Cheers Mr. Andrew Huang.

[@AlanW]

I remember things like this being built into high end electric organs from back in the day. I think the 'pilot' verbiage is just to let you know that the switch also acts as a 'pilot light'

[@NMannila]

I really love watching your videos! Just recently discovered your channel from watching a collab you did with Rob Scallon and I have been watching your videos every night before I go to bed :) Sort of a blessing to find it this late, it just means I can watch more of your videos per day :D Keep up the good work, you are such a musical inspiration!

[@fisk8804]

the song at the end 10/10 is a death grips track.

[@astrolabellc7195]

This video displays how important instrumentation is in incepting song ideas into a musicians mind. Also, further birthing music from that musicians creative ear. Crazy talent, totally Van Gogh, and such mad production skills that it's inspiring.

[@boneszsz2039]

Death Grips

[@davencio5489]

Chains xx damn, i wanted to say it

[@Creek1]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@JamesLavinTheOnly]

Yes

[@jkelly451]

Or some of Tyler the creators stuff

[@rinkarin3619]

Chains xx YeS

[@TheLazyKey]

Very exciting! Love to hear new and obscure instruments.

[@asterionalbert]

Andrew Huang = a bunch of genius melted into a single person

[@shwahofficial]

"THIS IS THE CHA CHA" 😭😭😭

[@bigmaczukno]

YES NEW SERIES ANDREW HUANG IS THE BEST

[@Dragontongue18]

OH this was amazing! It was awesome how you were able to get that dinky and boring sound from the Rhythm King to be really interesting with only a simple Ableton effect. Everytime I see you working with synths I want to try it out but it's kind of daunting to event think about how to start.

[@tsg_frank]

Tbh I wonder why you didn't start doing this before, it's something that fits like a glove on your channel, keep it up.

[@beingarealballa]

Man, your video edits are sick! You and your editor are doing a great job putting the vlogs together

[@casperknol1464]

*D E A T H* *G R I P S*

[@arturogoga]

Man this video went from average to unfreakingbelievable! More please

[@itsnottylor4011]

Get ahold of Wintergatan for this project, for real! They love weird DIY instruments.

[@Joelkikkoman]

Dude! Your best song so far wtf?! I was going in to it with like “yeah he’s just gonna make som cool 808 style electro song” and then you dropped the sickest rap!

[@peterbrooke7146]

i really hope you planning on releasing the track at the end because its amazing the beat kinda reminds me of Stylo by the Gorillaz

[@MahlenMorris]

I was getting a Digital Hardcore/Alec Empire/Atari Teenage Riot, albeit with far less screaming.

[@JesterOfDestiny]

Gave me more Death Grips vibe.

[@SoloStudiosOfficial]

It's available for free download on Reverb, first link in the description

[@adriel4703]

true

[@jameswest5669]

When you watch the latest video to find how much time went to creating that weird gear bloop, it'll make that much more satisfying to hear! Man great work!

[@fumetsudragons418]

I will never understand how this guy only has 1.3million subs.

[@neophoys]

Hey Andrew, just wanted to let you know that Drum & Bass intermission was amazing! Much love :)

[@CandiRabbit]

Me about to send to my 75 year old father 5:28 "Oh"

[@BrianBlackmore]

Such a RAD idea for a video Andrew! You made that #RetroJunk sound FIRE! Sampling them really did the trick! 🤘

[@uselesstv7626]

That shit's crazy! You should be way more famous.

[@thewistfulsnail]

Your music astounds me! Would looove to hear how you mix and master your tracks. Your sense of space in your mixes with still a huge bass just pleases my ears so. Tell us your mastering secrets!

[@wizardcoolio]

your new series is Rob Scallon's channel?

[@indianasummers7716]

THAT WAS SO COOL! Fantastic editing too! Love it! Give me MORE

[@BenBeats]

Am I the only one who thought the mambo sounds just like the opening of hotline bling by drake? 😂

[@RWL2012]

Here’s the actual sample: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYrbY6iQh9F9ec0 :)

[@aidan.latham]

synth you added to the song almost sounds like Kraut Rock! Awesome.

[@resonanzfeld1263]

You can here this one in Sly - "In Time". Pretty nice track btw

[@SanctumOfTheDin]

Probably as in a pilot light so it lets you know the circuit is primed when it's on by glowing and that it's open by not glowing

[@carlosesquivel2938]

#1 I lost it at 4:19 with that snare #2 The song at the end is preee-tty goood, you should release it #3 Despite the goodness (?) of the song, the video part is kinda trippy and i think it may be a bit "epileptic" for some people, so maybe you should tweak that a bit, Andrew. Dont want any of your fans kicking the bucket Overall, great video, and looking forward for this series!

[@JacquesSnacques]

I would love to see you do something with that jazzaphone. I hope you have fun making this series!

[@Winterjas]

just head over to wintergatan ;D for weird instruments i mean (collab???)

[@JMRolf1]

Track was fire. Great video and series idea!

[@MACKDaboss]

Andrew grips

[@tasoulman]

Hi there, I love that you play Greek Bouzouki in the background. Really nice of you !!

[@quantumclover]

that song sounds fucking incredible

[@jaysommusic4549]

That was possibly my favourite creation of yours at the end, loved it!!!

[@Henrikko123]

I wanted to hear the jazzophone :'(

[@Jakesdaysvlogs]

wow I just binged watced a carp ton of your videos and you are crazy talented and your use of B roll is amazing
