Fun fact: Trent is a master percussionist. Check out his Contrabass trombone comparison video. The Bass really hits hard.

I'm a simple guy, when I see that the Trent Hamilton annual april fools video is uploaded, I click

According to trent's definition, Rihanna is actually a percussion instrument.

The term “drummist” took a little bit of my soul with it

Now we wait for the people who came to learn actual information about percussion instruments :)

Lol...as the father of a percussionist, you failed to mention the orchestra instruments of dining table and car seat back.,

I can stop very well on a single frame, thank you very much.

As I clarinet player, I usually enjoy your videos. But I do have to wonder about your annual obsession with the clarinet. You clearly don't know how to use a clarinet. It should be obvious from simply looking at it - it is another type of drum stick.

Thank you for the extremely informative video! I didn't know anything about drummists before, and I even thought the bass drum was called a guitar! Thank you for clearing up the misconception, I hope others found this as informative and I did!

My new favorite April Fools tradition for this now the third year, waiting for Trent's April 1st video.

As a guitarist and percussionist, I'm happily offended.

0:42 Haha, I can stop on the frame! It reads ‘“Testing how well you can stop on a single frame.”

Still manages to roast woodwinds and strings... love it!

The 6 people who disliked this are percussionists who can't understand jokes.

this series of your videos is priceless

Thanks for yet another masterpiece! Great job as always!!

“Beat Chris brown style” I knew that was coming when you said “beat the player”

I am both a trombone player and a percussionist. I enjoy both families.

zefrank1: "Here we'll explore true facts about the percussion instrument."

I was not prepared for that Chris Brown joke. Almost as savage as him beating Rihanna

Liking your work!

Very informative!

This is glorious

Thanks to this video I went out and bought a clarinet. It costed be 2 dollars and half a pack of cigarettes, but I must say it was all worth it. It really does sound glorious when hit with a metalic object

You are the best...

As a percussionist, I find this video to be 100% accurate and am personally surprised why Trent isn't a professional percussionist

0:40 use the "" keys to move individual frames

By far your best April fools video!

It starts of subtle and then just spirals out of control. So good

These get better every year

I enjoyed this more than I should have.

As soon as he said “Chris Brown style” I lost it 😂 😂 😂

Loving the new intro

Wonderful! Thanks so much for these valuable gems of advice. I am a bass trombonist who has started drumming in my Concert Band because we can't find a permanent drummer. When the conductor throws dirty looks at me or makes disparaging remarks, I shall quote you.

loving the new intro Trent

Fabulous test. Only took 4-5 tries.

Excellent! Somewhere, Spike Jones is having a laught. (thank you)

Nice new intro👌

You are a terrific drummist! Thanks for the instructive video. Next time you should also use your beaters on your camera. Thanks.

GOD DAMNIT TRENT WITH THE APRIL FOOLS VIDEO string review👏string review👏

The April fools videos is what I live for

Bro i love you so much trent youre so god damn funny😂

Nice new intro 👍

Fun Fact: You can pause and use the < and > keys to move by one frame in a youtube video

As the conductor of the orchestra in which I play once said, “Percussionists are NOT like the rest of us!“

1:40 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Like I always say, you can choose to be a musician or a percussionist

I guess that just leaves the string family. Can't wait for next year!

Another percussion instrument, the trombone, makes a beautiful sound when struck with a metal drumstick, such as a lawnmower blade. Be sure to strike the bell. You get different sounds when using the flat side of the stick vs the sharp side. Banging the trombone with a trumpet can make a pleasing chord. It all depends on your talent level.

@EMCproductions would you say the tenors are tuned or un-tuned percussive instruments?

👍🏻

Our ensemble leader uses a snare brush on his tuba bell on up-beats...

Well I play cal ringer drums and trumpet and drum set actually uses a brush sometimes but NOT a paint brush lol

“And a certain attraction to fart notes” says the trombonist ... 😂😂😂 loved the video

YESSS 😂😂😂

The saga continues

I knew this was on the way.

Hey Trent! Great video! I saw what looks like the cheapest piccolo trumpet in existence online for something like $80 USD. It's called the Nasir Ali Piccolo. Thought you might want to check it out!

Ah yes, the glock 17, my favorite percussion instrument

As a percussionist, guitarist, and brass player, I don’t know how to feel about this video.

The main advantage in drum playing is the tranquil rest between beats.The piano forte drum is very versatile. A cross between a set or kit of drums and a harp. A lot of drum players also think they are the conductor. The triangle is a good addition to any orchestra however you cannot get to play it unless you know the right people. The NZSO triangle player is a political appointment. No musical ability needed.

There used to be this man who would practice with the percussion section in my high school band named Chris Brown.

Glock solos tend to end in the destruction of the hall or the death of the audience. Reloading is the hardest part because you must keep up the rhythm. I know you jest, but all those “sticks, brushes, and beaters” are probably actually written in a score somewhere. Just because you buy it at a hardware store doesn’t mean it isn’t a real percussive implement.

I can stop on 1 frame just fine thank you 😎

i get it

0:41 testing how well you can stop on a single frame! Do I pass?

“Testing how well you can stop on a single frame” you can’t stop a 14 year old boy at 3am

The best percussion instrument is the iPad made from Chineasium metal.

0:41 Quite well in fact

Lol, this is funny, I play drums, trumpet, trombone and mellophone. This vid is kinda true about percussion

Intro composition's name?

This is irrelevant but I figured I'd never get a response since the vid for it is so old. What was the brand of the bass trumpet you reviewed, Trent?

Half way thru the video i realised that i remeber him doing the same thing last year on april fools day choosing 2 instruments and then pretending that they are a completely different instruments 10/10 acting 😂😂👌👌

just noticed it was uploaded today lol

0:42 pretty good

I play percussion

Me love some chris brown style

4:21 pardon?

Welp, got the single frame!

As someone in a basic marching band, right behind percussion, I can confirm: most of them chose percussion because the only instrument they could wrap their head around was banging things with sticks.

"Testing how well you can stop on a single frame" 0:41 I really wasted my time there.. Also, notice that KZfaq award on the wall

They also cannot stop dropping things

You forgot how there's a speed change feature on youtube

Zach grooves should watch this.

"Chris Brown style" I'm dead

The test was successful. :)

as a euphonium player learning clarinet for "funziez" (and a desire for pain and suffering) I must say that I've been approaching it completely wrong.

Do you know who drummers are often seen hanging around with? Musicians.

There are many Percussion Instruments at his back.

Next year he’s gunna teach us how to ride a bike

Someone obviously doesn't like the clarinet xD.......I don't blame you.

Here is the timphony (brings out a violin)

Don’t ever ask me to play percussion for you Trent.....

0:42

I thought clarinets belonged to the firewood family

This is absolute gpld

Drummist kinda killed me.

I just passed your “frame test.”

*Drumrolls angrily*

I could barely hear the percussion instruments, could you hit them *harder* for more *noise* .
