Leo P meets our CONTRABASS SAXOPHONE 

not for the lack of trying.He tried :)

Tjita1 Agreed he never stands still

This Saxaphone shop got Leo P to stand still with this one weird trick!

And you never will again!

Never seen Leo before.

That thing can't fit in the toilet lol

This killed me. Thanks for the laugh.

this one made me smile :) cheers

:D

I don’t get it... it this some British people joke?

2 million view justify his greatness.

Really? It's the same stuff he always plays.

@@mediocreman2 it's never exactly the same, and it's on an even bigger saxophone

@@mediocreman2that name really suits you. goes well with your way of seeing things

​@@mediocreman2true to the extent that he sticks to a consistent, unique style. I don't think I would sit down to an hour of his playing, but his style can be emulated and expanded upon by others.

Don't disagree. He's talented in the way a street drummer playing drums on 5 gallon buckets is. It's a skill, almost like playing scale variations. I'd like to hear more music and less showman techniques. @@hirkimerwilberfart2413

@@hirkimerwilberfart2413 70? Have you been this wrong before? Tell me, did your whoopie bags (whatever they are) make you a worldwide legend? I doubt it.

You shouldn't expose to any one. You'll end up in prison 😂

@@AlexEdwards-sy4yo oh no not again. 😩

@@bobharris7401💀💀

Take a listen to Judges by Collin Stetson he actually hooks up microphones into his bass sax to act like percussion instruments

I actually thought it was drums at first😂

Everything about this is loud.

Tyler Roberts agreed

they sound like brushes lightly tapping on a loosed snare as if it was soft jazz

@The Awkward Shoe: Oh man, that was too funny!

Lol

Oh shit that was like a joke

Not funny, didn’t laugh. Your joke is so bad I would’ve preferred or go over my head and you having to re explain the joke to me. To be honest, this is a horrid attempt at trying to get a laugh out of me. Not a chuckle, not a hehe, not even a subtle burst of air out of my esophagus. Science says before you laugh your brain preps your face by twitching your face muscles but I didn’t feel the slightest twitch. 0/10 this joke is so bad I cannot believe anyone legally allowed you to be creative at all. The amount of brain power you must have put into that joke has the potential to power every house on earth. Get a personality and learn how to make jokes, read a book. I’m not saying this to be funny, I genuinely mean it on how this is just bottom barrel embarrassment at comedy. You’ve single handedly killed humor and every comedic act on the planet. I’m so disappointed that society has failed as a whole in being able to teach you how to be funny.

Excruciatingly what is? my copypasta?

@AJ H. I watched the video again, and noticed that he immediately allows the valves to open, which I'm sure, helps dampen the resonance. that's how I think he gets the immediate decay.

I agree, mad skills.

I could transition low to high on a susaphone pretty quick but not quite on a tuba and it always bugged me.

A very skilled tuba player could definitely do it

A skilled enough tuba player can definitely quickly jump several octaves with ease

isn't that his range on saxophones in general?

Derpy Sheep he can’t get as low as he can on contra tho

It’s not range what he’s doing is biting his reed to make a controlled squeak

@@waldopeez6366 its like a falsette

Carlos Gonzalez exactly but it’s called altissimo when it’s on a wind instrument

Ali İhsan Göçmez you can moving his body as if he would dance, but just can’t because it’s too big

Damn ryt 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They need to put it on wheels.

They make neck straps for it

@@trickster7188 Lol

There is no limiting Leo P, the man has some crazy talent on a sax.

There is no limiting this god. He is beyond man

it limits its dancing skillssssss

Remove all the limiters

_b o o p_

doot

They told me he has a side-hustle blowing up air mattresses on a campground

The contrabass sax is actually quite old Leo just has the ability to play it like that

Music itself still evolved, even if the instrument didn't

ONE STEP BEYOND!

not the music, the dude’s skill!

i thought more of a jazz band

Ayyy sax gang

Greetings fellow traveler 👀

It costs all my life

@Yuval Agam you must have a very nice arm and leg.

I don't even know how to play sax, but Leo P makes me want to buy a baritone sax and now contrabass sax too 😅

Nothing passive about them.

itsalexanderbotha he just rent hair colors dats y

He's the rainbow sax man!!

Hes like a chameleon, he thinks of a color and eventually his hair will turn that color

When your hair is short color grows out fast, so you NEED to redye is regularly. If you've ever dyed a buzz cut you know you have about 3 weeks before you gotta go again!

@@johngill5175 Diaries of a tinted man!!

They dont have j elle strainer sub contrabass :(

HKH From PH epphesem makes them also

At least that’s not the biggest one

Yes have you seen his bbc proms performance he’s coming a long way!

Check out The Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra, they also feature this instrument, and it sounds great.

How rude 😤😤😤

It’s sounded good before

Right? It usually sounds splatty and has no tone. I’ve never heard someone play it with staccato notes or even at a quick tempo-makes it sound like a synthesizer in electronic music.

@@razrv3lc when Leo does those smooth runs on it it really sounds good. But when it's just short staccato notes it's suuuuper splatty

Oh no, I agree completely. I don't how he didn't just pass out some point!

Mad chops

Guys played moanin', which itself is 9 minutes

Dude busks, he talks about playing "basically forever" on a lesson with Grace Kelly too. Endurance sport lungs.

If one of my bands would let me I could do 10-15 min long impro soloes when I get in the zone. I do it pretty often at home. I do play the trumpet though

I have seen video of him rocking a Bb clarinet.

There's a video of Leo playing the soprillo. Give him some time; he'll master it yet.

Top Secret lol same with my tuba

And when that low note sounds like a kick drum

They look like man hole covers !

If you've ever listened to any of Colin Stetson's original albums (and some of his soundtrack compositions as well) you'll notice he often puts a microphone by the valves to use them as percussion which sounds great!

MIDI triggers is the next generation to trick that out.

NOPE

That contrabass has Never felt sexier or more vulnerable than this moment.

Leo: I'll still make you my b!tch even when standing still!

That's still the most dancing I've ever seen from a contrabass saxophone

You can see him trying to

I'd trade 3/4 of my liver for a 3rd lung Why? Because Livers can regrow from 3/4 being removed, on both sides

Would probably have to drop the kidney just to make space for the third lung of Thor, what with how big that sax is.

@@James.D.B. where you gonna put that fam

@@XPhantomIL yes

Wait can i actually do that this is serious i need to know

I went straight to bari in 1 week from trumpet with no problem. I think oboe with pro reed is great training for embochure

He has all that extra lung power usually devoted to dancing available to play since he can't move around.

Im a trumpet player And i can say that its true

Im a trumpet player And i can say that its sometimes true

You clearly don’t know much about instruments...

honestly hitting notes in general on trumpet is harder than on sax, so i wouldn’t say much

Trevor King i’m a trumpet player and i can say it’s always true

with a neck strap

@@babiesmakinbabies that'll just cut off his entire blood flow lol

HIW Alex ahhahahaha

Amen

It's too good cause you can see him wanting to jump around with it like he usually does but it's just so massive

The sheer amount of air he has to move to make that thing sound, much less play like that for 6 minutes, that's impressive.

He can do it because he is magic

He's a madman. The best kind of madman cuz he plays sax!

How? He is not playing over changes or with anyone else. He is using his well practiced tricks and pentatonic variations in one key.

I would probably pass out

What are/did you struggling with?

@@elisabethmikalah2099 try alto to bari

I switch between tenor for jazz band and bari for normal band and it is a bit different but I’ve done it for 3 years know so I’m used to it

I did alto to bari, I can barely play two measures easily

Learn flute or tuba, after that the air requirements really don't seem hard on just about any instrument

Aaron Minnick *sopranino lmao

@@shaipatel4960 *claps* CONGRATULATIONS YOU WON THE TROPHY OF "CORRECT SPELLING ERROR"

@@zombiegamingvlogs7120 I didn't correct their spelling. I changed the soprano, which was funny because it's a high instrument, to a sopranino which is even higher

thetwigs I got it, dude, don’t too feel bad. Though had I seen your comment yesterday, I wouldn’t have... I literally just today learned about sopranino, contrabass, and subcontrabass saxophones, and my whole world has been turned upside down.... Now, I’m off to try and find some pieces that actually use these instruments! 😅✌️

@@nikolademitri731 gonna be a difficult one bc they're so rare lol, good luck tho

He just needs to get into the squat rack. This can happen!

more like saxy beast

Kyle Kennedy I do believe he might bite the reed in half, and still reach his desired altissimo goal pitch.

I think he would explode in bassoon tone quality and kill everyone on earth

That would be the day the world ends. We realise what he truly is. We see that Leo P is actually... Jesus As he accents into the sky

I’d like to see him play contraBass clarinet

Yes

follow your love sir.. do not let it go.. very talented you are..

Jen Bateman he kinda makes it sound like a Bari

He's cool but its not altissimo-its a controlled mouthpiece squeal, its actually easier to do on lower saxes as long as you have good pitching!

@alterdestiny yeah baritone is more convenient and can achieve similar effect

@alterdestiny no

He did do some altissimo a few times tho

Hielco Westra sexy as hell with all manly respect 🤣👍🏽 that sax is just sexy alone!! But with sound coming out of it is sexier!

yes you did

Neither did I, but I'm glad I did.

His name is in the title...

@@freewayfreeplay7961 yeah, that's why I clicked on it. I and others were saying we didn't expect to see him at Saxworks in the UK.

Michael Cottrell read this as world class chess player f

I love that spontaniety! Suprer inspiring! Keep up the good work but!✌️

We performed at the same event when I was 13. It was so much fun to see him solo! So cool.

This would be the sax player's version of pole dancing.

It looks like he's just humping it.

1:09 - 1:21😂

Calvin Hampton Yeah, I was like, wow, this is a borderline sexual experience for him.. lol

You can play the contrabass off the ground a band member of mine did it. It's horrifying however

Your guess is about right to my ears - you lose most of the melodic sounds but keep the percussion.

Actually there is practically no low end here, contrary to what you'd expect from anything with 'bass' in the name. Kind of surprised it sounded about the same on phone and a good stereo.

@@OttosTheName could be a result of the recording and audio compression. I bet it sounds monstrous in person

blip boop even when recording Bari sax on the best mics you loose quite a lot. So yeh I bet this horn sounds even more more impressive in person

You could se him trying to move

He can dance with it considering it has a neck strap but it would be very hard

Gamer Dayz no

Aidan’s trip reports And more He dances to keep time

@@nylekash6213 Or he just likes to dance?

It's his embroshure

Any half-decent woodwind player can make their breaths almost unnoticeable.

@@jorkles4691 it their job I play bass

Micey Wilson lEAVE

You are supposed to breath like taking in an intense yawn.

@@jorkles4691 especially if they know circle breathing, which Leo does Sadly I have yet to master it, but I'm working on it

I want to see it

@@danishdangler9223 nice profile

He has met a challenger

“Checkmate!”

"OMG"

As a bass and contrabass clarinet player, as well as tuba, fuck yes it takes a lot of air to play these things

Ty Swift flute also

@@rumikazbar8228 yeah man flute takes about the same amount of air as a tuba, I played it for maybe 2 weeks and I couldn't get the hang of it

Ty Swift I only play alto sax but I’d like to play tenor and clarinet and piano. I’ve been playing for 6 years

@@rumikazbar8228 if you want to play clarinets, learn tenor first. I personally prefer Bari but I'm biased towards low Instruments.

Stolen

Stolen comment

@@snatch1838 :))))) FBI? is that you? calm down dudettes

This one has a low A key so, its the same low A as a baritone sax, only a full octave lower

Physically C1 - A3 but for Leo it's C1 - whatever he wants 😂

I love beef and bean burritos!

I feel you

You need to see a doctor

Kase Garcia I went to high school with Leo he has always been dancing lol we played the nutcracker every year and when he play the clarinet solo and the one piece he and our brass section basically had a dance routine together lol

Actually, I think moving around is what would kill him.

@@trevonsmith2761 so to see him sitting still like this is a very big surprise. Playing the sax like this, I think wouldn't really be all that surprising for you, would it? 😉

Eyy profile picture buddy!
