Anyone else come back here 17 years later to remember the good old days?

I remember watching this as a kid thinking he was far ahead of his time. Editing like this was a pretty new concept on KZfaq back then.

It’s a damn shame this video doesn’t have hundreds of millions of views. Lasse Gjertsen is a legend among OG KZfaqrs.

15 years later I still find myself coming back to this classic

one of the first videos I ever saw on KZfaq.

I remember just being a toddler watching this over and over again. Made me interested in drums and now I’ve been playing drums for 10 years

14 years, and this song still plays in the back of my head sometimes.

This song has remained burned into my consciousness for over a decade. Finding it again is like digging up the list city of Atlantis.

If you look closely you can see that it's a little bit edited

This video is the Winner of KZfaq for me.

2019, and this still one of my fav video on early days of KZfaq

People were so much more creative and original in the past. It’s been 18 years, and this is still the most creative way that jump cuts have ever been used on KZfaq.

I owe years of my life to this guy and this video. I was trying to quit smoking (December 2007), was desperate, couldn't focus on anything but the cravings. Until I saw this video and couldn't stop watching. I probably saw it like 100 times that first day. I would be still smoking if this video hadn't distracted me from the idea of cigarettes.

KZfaq Classic

goddamn! i haven't seen this in at least 10 years, it still holds up today, amazing editing and a catchy tune. true OG youtube

This deserves way more views. It's a piece of art that is hard to reproduce, especially under the conditions of the days when this was created. Simply astonishing.

People probably said it before but THIS IS one of the first vids I ever saw on KZfaq

every few years I go full circle on youtube and end up back here. 10/10 video pure wizardry edit: back again 5 years later still a banger

I remember watching this vid as a kid in middle school. I’m 30 now and crazy to think how nostalgic this video is to me. I hope wherever you are Lasse you’re doing well. You were ahead of KZfaq’s time when this video was released

It's 2019 and this is still a youtube masterpiece! His genius was way before his time! I remember it seeing the first time in 2008!

10 years... time flies

I remember seeing this when it had 5000 views. It was awesome.... it still is.

Watched this when it came out, showed it to everyone I knew, everyone blown away. Now a buncha years later, just heard background music in a Vox video that sounds just like this... I missed this video so much!

You may claim to not know how to play the drums and piano, but just the sheer understanding of musical composition, I believe, makes you a musician, Lasse. 😊

Never seen this before. How did i miss this when it was uploaded 10 years ago and has 15 million views.

I remember watching this video in junior highschool with my friends around the time it first came out... This awesome.

I was bored and started tapping my fingers on the table . Then I remember this guy from a clip I watched about a decade and a half back. Instantly got into youtube and searched for stop motion piano and this came out. Thank you for keeping me entertained even after all these years. Hope you are well, Lasse.

I miss to see people with talent on internet, like him. One of my first videos watched on KZfaq

It's 2015. It's still awesome.

이분께선 후, 노각오이님과 피아노천재(그러나 기타꽝) 께 영감을 줍니다.

Still showing this to my kids 14 years later. |..|, Rock out Gjertsen!

I don't know why, every couple of years of I get this overwhelming urge to watch this video.

10 years later, still one of the best videos on internet

I FOUND IT! I had this stuck in my head for a couple days and I kept looking... I remember watching this in the early days of KZfaq. Still amazes me. Thank you, Lasse 😄

This is everything good about OG KZfaq in a single video. Please never take this one down, it will forever be a classic. Still amazing in 2023.

Wow 10 years ago now and still nobody has ever attempted to cover this in real time? Seriously i think that would be an amazing tribute if some musician could actually perform this song in real time (shouts, head smacks, and all)

Man.. can't believe its almost 10 years since this masterpiece was uploaded. MASTERPIECE!!!

Reporting here after Wintergatan did a drum-cut bit in his latest Marble Machine X video, _Playing the CYBER BASS._

This video was way before its time. I'm glad I have memories from when this first came out.

absolutely obsessed with how he timed the smoke placement and chair movement into the song at 2:10

I know this for years and still amazes me..

Boy this takes me back... I'm so glad this is still around. What a wonderful part of internet history.

I was 18 when I first saw this. Now I'm 34, I got divorced, my life recently changed but I finally found this masterpiece. Love from Russia everyone ❤

드디어 찾았다 한 10년전쯤에 엄청 봤던건데 갑자기 생각나서 찾았는데 있네요. 음악도 좋고 영상도 좋음.

Hard to believe I was watching this in primary school... the best years of the internet were definitely 2005-2011

I still come back every couple years. amazin

14 years later, this song still rocks!

I just got it... after fucking 7 years.. I just got it... The guy on the piano is the drummer... and the guy on the drums is the pianist.. thats why they both look so clueless in the beginning.. not even Slowpoke's got game on me..

Videos like this built the internet, inspired creativity, and made me think there might be a purpose for it all.

I have watched this at least once a year since you put this masterpiece out! Today I shared it with my 11 year old and she's watched it several times. Time to pass along the awesomeness to the next generation. See you next year!

Damn, 14 years later and still as good. And now that I'm 14 years older, I can really appreciate in awe and the sheer talent this dude has naturally. It goes from simple sounding, with the focus more on the visuals, like dipping his toe in the water. Then just goes from 0-100(mph) after, what, ONE drag of a smoke? I mean, in 2006, I'm not sure if software based quantization was a thing in basic video editing, if not, he must have literally had to mathematically quantize the length of each note, by taking 60/BPM giving him the length of a quarter note, then used that as the basis to calculate the length of the rest of the needed notes, with f***in' POLYRHYTHMS?!? Dude.... Legend....

I think I saw a jump cut.

2024 I'm still here watching ❤

2:20 some of the best drum breakdowns that exist in my brain to this day (Show me anyone else with a solo with 4 bass drum kicks in a row.... and .... I'll.... probably really like it)

Took me almost 15 years to come back here and like your video, thanks for sharing it with us.

This is probably my favourite KZfaq video of all time.

15 years on... Still total genius

I remember first seeing this video like 10 years ago! Maybe more....one of the first youtube videos to blow my mind. Amazing.

This is the best video of KZfaq in my book.

Oh my god so much memories ...10 years have flown...

I can't believe I haven't seen this before.

13 years since I've watched it for the first time and it is still amazing.

Bro, I want to show this to my kids one day and tell them about the glory days of KZfaq. This just threw my ass back straight into my teen years. What a legend.

Watching this during the global plague of 2020 - Best of Luck to All Humanity

For some reason, after 13 years, I still come here. This stuff will never age. Genius.

Still incredible. I will never forget

2015 and still best video on KZfaq

I remember watching this when I was 15 years old, and this made me start learning guitar and drums, time flies :')

My all time favorite video on KZfaq!!❤

Lasse, the amazing art you gave to people in those years...I feel like crying just to think about it, it meant so much to me and it still does. It's not just this cut-n-paste video, it's your entire poetic language, your deep philosophy that hides behind anything you did in those days. All your videos were pure Weisheit mixed with tech skills - even the ones that could come off as more banal and simple. When Consoul came out, you simply put your name right next to all the great artists and thinkers of the last century. Wherever the fuck you are and whatever the fuck you are doing nowadays, be aware that you are a good guy who can do great things. Never give up, dude.

I don't know what's better: that the drummer is wearing a suit while the pianist is wearing a t-shirt, or that when he's playing the piano, he moves not just himself to the each note but the entire piano bench. This is a work of art.

16 years later, and I still jam out to this

Every now and again you watch a video that springs this one to mind. This is why you're here.

I come back to this video every year or 2 and still just blown away.

@SethEverman Brought me here. love that dude!!!

I am so glad the original is still online. One of the first viral videos I ever saw.

Every so often I have to come back and watch this again. It's so damn good.

Still one of the best on youtube. Greetings from 2019.

9 years later and i still freaking love this.

Finally KZfaq recommends something awesome !!

This is really a early KZfaq memory!!! Lasse was really before his time as this is so great edited!!

love com,ing back here after all these years, the time really has flown by so fast

편집하는것보다 외우는게 빠를것 같은데..

This video inspired me to become a career audio engineer! Thanks for the inspiration Lasse - I still think about this even though it's been over a decade since I first saw it.

Anyone else come back to this video every couple of years?

Ive been watching this for well over a decade. Ill never tire of it. such talent and sick editing.

In Korea, the name of this video is "im not good at playing instruments, but super good at editing" lol

14 years later and this is still awesome!

still one of the best videos to ever grace this platform

Watching this, some freaking 14 years later. This was one of my first favorited videos on youtube. Such a classic!

난 드럼과 피아노는 못치지만 편집은 잘하지

외국인들:이게 뭐야 신기하네 미친사람인가 텐션이 ㄷ 한국인들:(익.숙)음 신박하군 어이 거기 당신.. 방금전 김광연 이라는 사람이 기타는 못치지만 편집은 잘한다는 영상을 보고 오지 않았나?.. 당신은 한국어로 된 댓글을 찾으셨습니다! 축하드립니다!

When ever I'm sad I pop up this video and it makes me feel better I don't know how or why so thank you.

Found it again in 2021. Can't belive how much time has passed

This was the first KZfaq video I ever watched.

One of the verry first videos I saw on youtube (before Google) was "Hyperactive". But "Amateur" is one of my favorite videos of all times. Hope you are healthy Lasse, stay safe. Please everyone, be safe.

Clicked this video out of curiosity. I have no regrets.

17 ans plus tard et toujours aussi fan... Great Work
