I just played the drum kit for about half an hour blindfolded and let me tell you I played so much better than normal than when I'm not worrying about what I'm seeing and just feeling the music

playing blindfolded is much easier if you have muscle memory, i dont think people realise how easy it is

It is funny, to other people that don't play the tenors think it's incredible to play blind folded/ with eyes closed, but once you play enough, you know where the drum is and don't need to constantly look down to know what you are playing. So in reality, you almost are always playing blind folded.

They killed it that was amazing i can't stop watching this amazing drums playing i will watch it all over again u go boys show your stuff

If anyone is wondering, this cadence is called “jig 2”

i cant stop playing this video its soooo amazing

The band:😎 The team:🤓

This is how you learn to know your drums. Exercise, practicing,

Bro look at how fast they are

A friend of mine did the same solo upside down this year, it was epic. Next year I'm gonna try to do it both blindfolded and upside down.

I've had to play upside down on the snare and tenor, it's fun, but it makes your head hurt

This is the kind of thing I wish I could do probs to these guys for their dedication. Yall are crazy good

Middle man shows no reaction

All these kids are insanely talented and I mean this in the best way possible, I could do none of this blindfolded or not, but did anyone else think that it may honestly be easier blindfolded after awhile? 🤔 🤣

Holy f that was fast! Amazing performance 👏👏👏

I don't play tenors, but at my school they never look at their drums anyways, they look up.

I swear every marching drumline has played Jig 2, or has their own version. Like our school did jig 2 but with 2 solos. A tenor solo, and the bass drums also did one.

why is nobody talking abt how fine the first blindfolded guy is tf

Snares need to work on playing together

The last part where they all play was satisfying.

I CAN'T EVEN ESCAPE JIG 2 ON KZfaq

i mean if go up to any Musician and tell them to play there Instrument blindfolded then they can do it no problem u don’t need to see to play it’s all about the feeling so There over exaggerating

Tell me how I knew it was going to be Jig 2 before I even clicked on the video? Oh wait...it's a popular video with tenors and on a news youtube channel

I'm going to join band and get drums

Muscle memory when you Play a instrument Muscle memory is a skill you are getting

Me and the boys getting ready for battle

This looks harder than it really is. but still a great job

What're the drums gonna do while he's not looking? Run away?

Every school has a kid like the one in the middle. Short, usually plays some sort of instrument and doesn't care much about grades.

we finally played jig 2 this year (without director permission haha) and I think I’m gonna get the gang to do this next year!!

Texas high schools don’t mess around when it comes to football and marching bands

As a blind person I find this to be amusing as its really no big deal.

Impressive

Very clean drumline

Im a drummer to and i play this alot when i get that part but snares are rushing

Jig 2 be insane

Pretty good. Idk why they're playing so up tempo

Damb that is so crazy good

Brilliant

Thats the school i go to

Wow

no spocks?

What is the song?

These zones are killing me😭

Respect :O wtf so crazy

🔥🔥

Eso es difícil?

This is like saying playing Xbox or PlayStation without looking at the controller is hard. 💀

0:20 🔥 0:42 🔥1:04 🔥 1:28🔥

With a 4 piece drum set this wouldn’t make things more difficult at all. Piano players do more without looking at the notes even with their eyes open. You only need eyes for very large drum sets with multiple positions.

Have no idea Yamaha makes drums

where the hell are the spock drums

We had a drummer in my marching band who did this for every game.

Forgot you needed eyes to play... What's next, with his shoes untied?

Dame!

Do you see that kid with the zebra blindfold and blonde hair that's Aden Armstrong the best drummer in the world there🎉🎉

All of these videos on KZfaq don't realize that playing blindfolded is not that hard. Already you're looking at the crowd or at your music if you're sight reading it, or at a conductor. It's pretty difficult on mallet instruments but on tenors, not that hard

😢😊

Playing blindfolded is actually easier

Is it just me or is it the same beat for most bands?

Everything is bigger in Texas go big or go 🏠

New video for @Kevin Tran

Every musician can play blind folded, even with drums. Its why we can play as good as we can. You feel it you dont see it. Just like guitarist can play without looking and pianist play while looking at sheet music. Dont mean to be negative but its not impressive cause hes not looking. I would expect that

Man, I see a bunch of these videos everywhere, it's nice, but man am I getting just a little bit tired of seeing it.

Good jod

Drum : yamaha Carrier : mapex WTH

Badass!

Not to discredit them in any way but playing drums blindfolded isn’t that hard. As long as you know your playing zones you’ll be fine. Plus since you’re supposed to look at the crowd most of the time while marching, learning to play your parts without looking at the drums can be really good for you and the band. But I have to say, that Jig 2 was really good. Props to them

Snares aren't the best theyre splitting everything on accident

I'n stell

Total nerd flex

Easy

Lol

This is the easiest thing they could have done 🤣

All drummers can do that. 🙄 Not post to look down anyways. But good job.

dirty

Im out here tryna appreciate some beats but them fools is screamin louder eveytime a mans hits a solo wtf

That's Fucking sad 👎👎👎🙄🙄

Jig2 is not cool anymore

They’re bastardizing the art of drums. Better use the full set or nothing

Overates

Seriously this isn't impressive, guitar players play blindfolded all the time. When you learn an instrument an know where the drums, strings and ect are it. Then it's real easy

Yeah not impressive when you are just playing random crap

So fucking cool.

That isn’t even hard. The drums don’t move.

I hate this cadence. It’s basic and generic as all hell.

If you can't play with a blind fold on your really not a good musician. Not really impressed here.

That's like saying student played guitar blind folded....or typed blindfolded...

Is it really that hard?
