That's a Brazilian berimbau in the beginning and other sections of the song with that repeating pattern. You don't hear them used often. It has a cool percussive sound though.
People are probably going to recommend their newer stuff like these last two you've done, but I hope you can react to their crazy jazz fusion-y covers of pop songs, that's how Dirty Loops got their start! Also, their original song "Hit Me" is a must! Covers to check out: Dirty Loops - Baby (Justin Bieber cover) Dirty Loops - Rolling In The Deep (Adele cover) Dirty Loops - Circus (Britney Spears cover) Dirty Loops - Prude Girl (Rihanna - Rude Boy cover) Dirty Loops - Ta Fête (Stromae cover) Dirty Loops - Forever Young (Alphaville cover) Dirty Loops - Wake Me Up (Avicii cover)
This! I might like the Cory Wong stuff better if it weren't pushing reactors' attention away from the music that originally got me hooked on them. It's super underrated but I also love "It Hurts."
I heard a lot of Flim and the BBs influence in the piano solo part...all of them are just SICK players, totally at one with their respective instruments. The middle section, Jonah took it to orchestral infinity with his upward progression, just nuts. Henrik laying down some beastly groove on fretless...tone for days...and Aron is like a freaking atomic clock! These guys are the penultimate "music for musicians" band!
This song is almost heart attack material 🤣 Thanks for posting this reaction man 👍 Someone mentioned checking out their earlier covers, and they’re all dope! But since you’ve mentioned Vulfpeck coming up next, spare a minute for Dirty Loops and Cory Wong’s collaboration tracks “Follow the Light” and “Turbo” (an instrumental). I get the feeling you would enjoy both of them ☺️ 👍🙏👍
Hell yee, ive added all the covers to the list. I just saw i didn't have the Turbo one, so i added that too... maan.... the "list".... is ENORMOUS! :D We have so much to go through :D
This is pure magic...amazing! Musicians in a league of their own. I LOVE the Brazilian berimbau playing through the greater part of the song. Thanks for your reaction!
Can you please react to Matt Corby "All Fired Up"? he plays the piano so good and is such a virtuoso. Almost like a musical Savant. Also "Made of Stone" by him is also a gorgeous song on the piano by him. I cannot recommend him enough.
I'm curious if you like metal, particularly jazzy prog metal. You mentioned Dream Theater in an earlier video, so I'm gonna assume yes... in which case... Polyphia - Playing God is right up your alley I think. Also Ukrainian prog/groove metal band Jinjer has a lot of jazz and reggae influence. The usual starting track, which is pretty jazzy, is Pisces (Live Studio Session). In case you're not familiar, I won't ruin the surprise, but prepare to have your mind blown if you check it out.
This was my first video from you and as you're titling yourself as "jazz pianist" I was probably expecting something. I mean, even with the nic "Stank Face" I kinda thought you might have something to say rather than just having some kind of "stank face" going on lol. Continue.
Lol I get what you mean, I'll be doing more in-depth analyses to this stuff, like eventually come back you know cuz I don't have my piano... I had to sell it years ago due to some unforeseen circumstances. But when I get a new one we'd be playing that s**t so hard :D
