As a sousaphone player myself, this is damn awesome

Idk if everyone already knew this but the song he is playing is called "When The Warrior Comes Out to Play" and he did a good job playing it!

I've been playing didgeridoo for 16 years and I gotta say, this guy would crush one. So many of the techniques he's doing there can be applied to some advanced didgeridoo sounds. Would love to see him on one!

God love ya, tuba players. A massively under-appreciated instrument.

As a tuba player this is absolutely fantastic

OK...that guy...is a boss.

1:05 killed me XDDDDD

I was fortunate to have to opportunity to perform with Nat McIntosh a few years ago. This doesn't begin to capture his sheer awesomeness.

Multiphonics means to play or sing two or more pitches at the same time. The performer plays a note while singing or humming another pitch above or below the played pitch, resulting in a chord. In some combinations of harmonies, and if the two notes are perfectly in tune, the performer can produce chords with the partials within the sound. SO COOL!

I should hope that he did a good job playing it, he wrote it for Unlearn (2000), which is Youngblood Brass Band's 2nd album. Nat has moved on to the Dallas Brass now, but I believe he sat in with the University of Wisconsin Varsity Band this spring and played Brooklyn (from YBBB's 3rd album Center:Level:Roar). Met the guy, and he's really, really good. Wicked good.

Back when I was in Eighth Grade (I'm now in 11th) I learned to circular breathe on the tuba without even knowing it. I just... picked it up. A year later, a trumpet said "Dude! You're circular breathing!" Now, over the course of these few years, I have been perfecting it so now I get a pretty good sound. But, there are downsides: 1: When I breathe, it can sometimes be very loud. I've been trying to fix this. 2: Unfortunately, I have become dependent on the circular breathing.

as a tuba player... You're freakin amazing

O man, in I'm that tuba beatboxing section of youtube again.

the title is '''the warrior come out to play'' I think

The guy at the drum set is one of my high school music teachers!

Funny thing is, first time I heard of Dallas Brass, they had visited my high school, and I saw this guy perform this live. A few years later, I remembered how cool it was, and found this, which was recorded at the university I currently attend.

My 2 year old just asked if we could get her Dad one of these (the tuba). She wants him to do it all around the house. LOL! Amazing talent and creativity in this guy.

This is the first time I see a solo souzafone played that way, the musician is simply a genius.Congratulations

Nice tuba effects

WOW! That is freakin' TIP TOP! So creative and virtuosic! This guy has more energy in his lips than most people have in their entire bodies! Tuba tooda max, yo!

I saw I guy doing this on a contra at the DCI finals a few days ago.

amazing didnt know the saxophone could be that big

still my jam in 2017!

ive seen these guys live, simply amazing, good showmanship and even better music

oh he was one of my favorites!!! all the guys in the dallas brass are great musicians with awesome sense of humor and friendly personalities. im so glad i got to meet them :)

that's cool! if I closed my eyes I'd swear that was a set of decks at times.

13 years and I still end up. Congratulations You have entered the 'Legendary Final Destination'

Young Blood Brass Band! :D

dude, im a tuba player and in marching band, and i love this guy's playing! i wish i could do it

This is what was playing from the UFO which arrived to the Devil’s Tower in Encounters of The Third Kind

A very amazing way of using multi-phonics and separate noises with his mouthpiece brilliant!!!

these guys are amazing i went to go see them in concert and it was really good.

You, sir, are a certified genius :O

I have played Tuba for 2 years and I thought this video rocked!

These guys (Dallas Brass) performed for us at our MENC All-Northwest Convention for WA two days ago. GREAT.

This is freaking amazing!!!! I wish I could learn this for band class :) :)

i think thats my favorite part......no one expects to be wowed by a tuba player....makes it all the more friggin glorious when you make their jaws drop

wow. crushed it. so inspiring!!

I wish I could like this one million times. I had no idea this shit was possible, my mind is blown.

I remember this, I played Star Wars with them 2 years ago. :D Was so epic seeing this live.

This is amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing...

12 years later, still boss level awsome

My Director showed us this in class.

I can't stop smilin'. Great fun on a sousaphone.

this is why i love to play tuba and glad to have one!

lol, I got to see them at my college when I was an undergrad, this guy did this routine, so friggin fun

I've been on stage with these guys. Seeing him do this is crazy cool.

Oh, those mormons and the crazy ways they entertain themselves. Gotta love em!

Wow, he is an incredibly talented musician!

this is great, BRAVO!!!

Fantastic. Sounds like he's mixing in some digeridoo skills, too.

These guys are amazing they came to my school and they were freaking awesome

Wow...that was awesome!

Yes this performance is with Dallas Brass but the Warrior Comes Out to Play(what he's performing here) is a song by the Young Blood Brass Band. Nat is one of the founders of YBBB and is still an active member. Paul Carlson is the tuba player for Dallas Brass.

THIS IS ART!!! :DD

Brooklyn brought me here!

you are my new hero

you are the king man!!!!!!!

This guy is my hero.

awsome next year im so picking the sousaphone this guy just inspired me to be a sousa player

WOOOOOOOOOOW, I like that, such talent!!!

this is what it sounds like when skrillex farts

I do not say this lightly, that was incredible!

Man, that makes me miss playing...3 years of college marching band at Ball State just wasn't enough!

Ok I'm going to learn this for sure!

i met the dallas brass, but i didnt meet him... they have a different guy now. i did meet the drummer though, and he's absoultely hilarious in person. they have this thing where they allow different bands from the area to perform with them, and my band got to play with and meet them :) it was so awesome, words cannot describe.

Someone can seriously slice this up and make a pretty sick track.

Thanks for that tidbit of information. I didn't know that.

finaly someone who shares my oppinion

nice skills, i like the multiphonics most, awesome ;)

oh my god they played with my school's band in december! they're so awesome!

My jaw literally dropped just now. So so so so sick.

This guy is my hero.....

i went to see these guys in concert and it was really good

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen done with a Sousaphone haha

This tune is called "Warrior Come Out To Play"... I don't know if this is the original guy or not, but it was recorded with Youngblood Brass Band on one of their albums. I'm sure you could find it on iTunes

our sousaphones used to do stuff like this. :) I'm going to miss it when I graduate.

holy crap.. i've only been playing tuba for 6 months!!! this guy is EPIC!!

Nat Mcintosh is a beast playing this... I'm a trumpet player in high school, and i wish i could do the multiphonics he does even half as well

SWEET AS HELL DUDE , from q the t~bone player

OH YEAH! CLASSIC! early days of youtube! Good times! 😆👍🏻

How do you make sounds like 0:36, 1:04 and 1:10 ? I play tuba too, but don`t seem to find the right sound. Are you suposed just sing them, or like double tongue while singing?

you are my hero!!!!

I think I'm in love

dude that was pretty kickass. personally i can use multi-phonics through scales or through charts. but i cant encoorporate both regular playings as well as multi-phonics in addition to other added noises into a song as well as u can. i tip my hat to u.

i love the peddal at the end

Wow you deserve a medal bro...

inspires me :) TUBAS ROCK!

Amazing.

this is the only person who can play the trombone and be a gangster

gotta love multiphonics thats wat make playing sous so fun lol

This is a song called The Warrior Comes out to Play, by The Youngblood Brass Band. Not sure if this is and original work by them, but they are the only other group I've heard perform it.

Wow, just wow.

that is awesome.

thank god that you informed it was a sousaphone

Holy crap that's amazing! I have a friend who's just a sophomore in high school and can already do multiphonics on tuba.

they are cool already!

that rocks dude

Right there with ya man

my god thats amazing
