Which school? I've never visited a tower without practice bells, that would be neeve racking! (I played at Wellesley)

@@petraarkian7720 Clemson University in Clemson, SC, USA. I was there from 2008-2014. It could have changed since I was last up in the tower.

Likewise, the Memorial Student Union building at my university had a set of carillon chimes up in its tower. The system went defunct at some point, though (lack of proper maintenance over the long term, I bet). So, while I was there (during the 1990s), it was all pulled out and replaced with speakers on the roof that play electronic carillon recordings. It's sad (I'm an historian and sentimentalist) but, admittedly, the argument that the "fake" chime music is preferable to the silence formerly offered by the broken genuine article has merit. People still look at me skeptically when I point out the space in the building where the carillonneur's console used to be.

Of course

Correct , mics cannot even capture the timbre of a acoustic guitar realistically let alone a piano or church organ of bells like this. There is a huge amount of dynamic range these instruments produce ..

9:58 10:00 is loud

The problem usually isn't with the microphones, it's with the playback system being unable to reproduce the signal. Unless, of course, cheap microphones are being used.

Your point is valid, but I know some film and tv sound designers and they’ve told me gunshots sound so different in media is because “real gunshots sound pretty lame…like firecrackers.” Thus you get a .38 that sounds like a canon going off.

@@stuminnis4050 the 'design' of the sound is lame, but very, very loud. So its a bit of both. Microphones cant record that loud and speakers can't play back that loud because its literally deafening. And then the sound itself isn't 'epic' enough for the movies.

The most heavy metal cover of heavy metal.

For some reason I thought of the book before the song...... Edit: spelling error

Cliff would be so proud his song went that far as to be played on something like that. He had such a passion for the history of music and how it was performed, I'm sure he's smiling down.

Rip cliff

Same with the calliope.

Its sad i cant take it home also if anyone would do it r/madlad

For reference: Monty Python Bells

My mum is a bell collector, I am now used to these sounds😣😂

I'm sorry for your loss. I am from a city that also has a carillon, and I may walk around as much as I want, it only feels like home when I hear the bells. Be it the quarterly chimes or manual playing, doesn't matter. Hope you can find someplace like that too. To enjoy listening them for yourself, and at the same time having your dad with you. A place where you hear bells, and you feel at home

I would love to have been there in person to hear it 😂❤

Ok

For a 2nd time, no less. If you haven't seen it, check out the Pipe Organ he did recently, that was pretty awesome.

@@tatsu8886 Oh yeah for sure. I watch all of Rob's videos start to finish. The pipe organ video was great, definitely enjoyed it. There's just something about this... the Carillon... that did it for me. Probably the percussive aspect of it. That or I'm just able to relate to the simplicity of bells (it's a thing that you hit with a thing and it makes a sound) a little bit more than the pipe organ. But again, both great videos, both amazing instruments.

Kieran Leopold idk why but your reply makes me angry

@@kcrelax3330 probably because I came off as sounding condescending to Ryder Pham - though I wasn't trying to be.

Kieran Leopold yeah I kind of thought that; that’s why I didn’t say anything toxic or rude.

eh, he probably grew up reading organ music in church, it makes sense hed be good. my music history professor could sightread four-part organ fugues in real time and played em like 98% accurately, but she was probably an archangel or something

He's amazing. You know, he totally looks like he could be the son of the organ player Rob talked to as well!

And he was so humble the whole time. He deserves so much praise.

That's what a talented musician looks like. All of them can do it but only he plays bells

@@KSundstrom2 that's exactly what I thought. When I first saw him, I was like: ... Is that the pipe organ player?

That was really impressive, yeah. But he did say he already knew the song, so that probably helps a lot.

Guys this video was awesome on so many levels

My carillon instructor always reminded us before we played that people love to hear bells even when you make a mistake which I think is accurate. When I hear a song go off on the bells I kinda appreciate an off note or two. Then I know someone is up there and its not a computer.

Nah

Not only that, but he is sight reading music not written for the instrument he is playing. He definitely found his niche.

@@laurentelesca3921 exactly! He's transposing in his head. Granted I'm not sure how hard the transposition is but still

@@DevaJones03 I think he would only need to transpose if he was playing with another instrument.

@@laurentelesca3921 uhhhh no. When music is written for another instrument that's not in the same key as what you are playing you transpose it so you play it correctly. I thought we were on the same page?

@@DevaJones03 if when he plays a “C” on the keyboard the actual sound the bell makes is a “B” that would only matter if he was playing with another instrument. Like if I play the chord that looks like A major with a guitar capo on the 3rd fret, that chord is really a C major. It only matters if my husband is playing piano too, if he is then he has to transpose, if I am just singing or playing for enjoyment, then it really does not matter. Regardless, he is a fabulous sight reader, especially after his explanation of prepping the notes.

now there's a missed opportunity in the vid
