Percussion version of Instrumedley

[Serpentor]

Forgive me if this was already posted.  I did a quick search and didn't see it.  Jordan posted this link on his FB of a Venezuelan percussion group doing Instrumedley.  It's 11 minutes long and pretty amazing

Yeah, saw it last night, this is so freaking good. makes me want to learn the xylophone.

Wonderful job. Amazing players.

I'm sorry, but what a fuckin' waste of time.  I was never a fan of covers.  Sure, the occasional one at a concert is all well and good, but for something like this, what's the point?  There's obviously a ton of skill going around, and you want to spend your time on a cover that could never touch the original?  For what purpose?  This one, in particular, sounds like ass.  Maybe I'm anti-xylophone.

Since when did you become the authority on efficient time management? Maybe you're not alone and only a few hundred people will like this, but I imagined all prog fans are used to that already.

Publicity. Do you think this video would have had over 10.000 views in 5 days if they'd played a Bartók or Saint-Saëns suite?

Oh, and fun.

Some parts were really sloppy, and others were spot on.

Overall I'm so glad the did this. Amazing job.

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

Wow those Erotomania strings skips were sick!

Also: Universal Mind on a xylophone

Man, this must have taken hours and hours of practice.
I think it's well and uniquely done!

Easily the best part. Closely followed by Hell's Kitchen.

Very cool cover indeed..

[MetropolisxPt1]

not all xylophone. marimba and vibraphone ftw way better then xylophone

[Global Laziness]

Incredible...I can't imagine the level of work and dedication that must have gone into that.

I can't believe someone would write that  

The whole thing has been arranged quite brilliantly. The fact that most of the players are kids makes it even more awesome. A few hiccups here and there, but those were negligible compared to what they managed to do.  

[Pols Voice]

This is really cool.

This is really cool.
