SMASH or PASS: Musical Instruments Edition 

Davie is the only person who can play Smash or pass instruments without the fear of embarrassment or getting cancelled.

Davie: Smash cello, it looks like a violin Also Davie: *passes violin*

As one of Davie's Indian fans, I really appreciate the effort he put into telling us how the Sitar sounds in the most clear way possible.

Davie has the best dry humour on RU-vid, and never ceases to make me smile and laugh.

Fun fact: The song played in the piano at 4:08 is actually called Smash, by jazz bass player Avishai Cohen

Davie: The accordian is just a piano that you squeeze. Just play the piano Also Davie: SMASH THE PIANO

1:03 Bass but the B is silent

"slap like, im gonna smash you" always a vibe when Davie wants to give us a massage with happy ending

Davie is absolutely on his way to *SLAP* and *SMACC* some thicc String instruments. Cello gotta have the W

You smashed the cello. We are enemies now.

6:02 Davie504: approves the viola TwoSetViolin: so you have chosen *battle* again

Bengali here. The Esraj one of the most widely known instruments in Bangladesh. Commonly heard in contemporary Bangla folk music and some strains of neo-psychedelia, when played where it's needed to be, the Esraj is one of the most beautiful sounds you can get out of a stringed instrument. Check out "Ghate Lagaiya Dinga" by Bangla to hear it at work :)

I find this video extremely bassist!

“Cello looks too much like a violin” -Us cellists that play the bass part 😢

Are you a musician? Rate every instrument.

Hey man I just wanted to say thank you for just making videos dude. When it was Christmas 2022, I got an Amazon bass for Christmas. I really did not know how to play and I did not know frets on an instrument existed and then I started looking as your RU-vid channel, I started looking at more of ur videos and I started learning. I then joined a church band and so forth. In 2023 I joined jazz band and I became a jazz bassist. I then started playing upright bass and now I am always having concerts in other churches and places. Thank you Davie for being my inspiration and happy holidays and happy new year.

HURDY GURDY.... just as annoying as bagpipes and has strings. It is awesome in a proffessional's hands.

You know it’s a good day when Davie uploads

whoever made that cursed bass, has a nice sense of humor. I like it!

Damn, you smashed Bass Recorder, Great Bass Recorder, and Contrabass Recorder

Gayageum is a Korean stringed instrument. RU-vidr Luna Lee plays western style music on it. It has some bass strings on it so it is definitely a pass!

It's nice to see how much effort you put into editing. Love the fast paced video. Chaotic and super fun 💜

Create your own bass music clip in sad and little bit dramatic mode

3:50 Because you put a Undertale song, I like the video, also was the song you put there Home, it sounds like it

I just learned that the whamola is a thing that exists. Having learned this, I am completely unsurprised that both videos Davie pulled up on it feature Les Claypool playing the thing. That just seems like a very natural fit to me. If you told me that Claypool invented it and named it the whamola I might also be inclined to believe you. (Edit: Apparently Claypool didn't invent it but he is the only person mentioned by name in the brief Wikipedia article)

I was reeaaallly hoping that Davie was gonna say "five neck guitar, six neck guitar, seven neck guitar, RED NECK GUITAR!", and cut to a banjo.

Berimbau looks like a bow but its actually a one stringed giant percussion bass w/ optional reverb and 2 notes

My favorite instrument is either the piano or acoustic guitar. The best performance I have ever seen is from that guy on tiktok who play gerudo valley

I am a long time Davie fan and an accordion player. My heart is broken

0:48 Bro clearly didn't watch DUNE

very fast paced editing davie got his video editing game on

7-9 string guitars have more bass clef options, Mick Gordon used an 8 string to track a lot of DOOM soundtracks Artists who use 7 strings: KoRn, Steve Vai, Dream Theatre, Periphery, Deftones Artists who use 8 strings: Meshuggah, Vildhjarta, Sleep Token, Animals As Leaders Artists who use 9 strings: Rob Scallon, Fractalize, Mick Gordon

Bass clarinetist and I passed the vibe check - this made my Dayvie 🥁

i don't know why I was expecting something else, stay funky bros

first day of the weekend and already a new Davie504 video? Yessir

Actually, French horn can play bass sound and high sound. So basically in the band its call the medium brass. Im the french horn player and I love to do the very very low sound.

I used to think the bass was boring and simple but i really enjoy watching you play the bass...and you're pretty funny too :-)

0:42 have ester egg

Much love and support from Fiji. Keep doing what youre doing, brother💯🔥👏👌🤙

I play cor angalis which is basically a bass oboe, Plus recorder has an amazing bass recorder.

oh my god I haven't laughed this hard at a video in a long long time. thanks Davie

I liked my own comment

@Dave504 I would love to see you cover the bassline on electro track VSF "Hit The Panic Button"

Davie, i started playing bass because of you, thank you so much i was playing guitar before it 🙏🏻

Usually I'd SLAP the like button, but for this video I smashed it.

Erm the thumbnail says otherwise 0:04

Love it! Been a while from a long video.

Smash Great Highland Bagpipes, sure, but there are many other types that get a definite pass. Source: I play at least 5 of em. One thing to know btw: Almost all types of bagpipes have a bass drone.

As a saxophonist I’m honored that you didn’t destroy us. I play tenor sax btw I also play guitar 🤫

Actually, the French horn is a German instrument 2:39

Good video, is good to come back to watch this videos

smash and pass, the legendary content is finally back

Thank you Davie. Miss you. Tons of laughs ❤ 🅱️

1:17 Im here just to summon all my Brazilian comrades to cancel Davie

This is super funny :) You're the best Davie.

5:07 He said "EPIC"... You're Welcome... 😎😎

Accordion: "Just play piano" Piano: "smash"

I'd definitely give bagpipes a pass (among others), but my most smash-worthy instrument is the mandolin. Such a sorry, squeaky, little excuse for a stringed instrument (that I didn't even know was Italian)!

4:39 this a indian instrument ❤❤❤❤❤

What about the Blaster beam? It’s a several meters long steel bar or beam with strings laid over the top and a pickup. It can hit an extreme BASS sound if that’s what you want (it’s surprisingly versatile for something so basic. The first two Star Trek movies used it a lot).

Hey Davie you're the reason I started playing guitar =P

You smashed the recorder and it makes me sad Wikipedia does not have the BASS recorder 😢

All those passes but the pass on the triangle that got my nervous.

Because of you Davie I'm now in the subcontrabass instruments RU-vid rabbit hole , thanks a lot -.-

My favorite instrument is the Vuvuzela. The bass tonal qualities are soothing to my ears.

Matt Mulholland's Recorders By Candlelight... God (a-hole) level recorder. Love the clip.

1:33 i love you to davie

We really miss u davie❤

The recorder has a bad reputation because everyone only knows it from primary school where nobody can play. But did you know that there are actually bass and contrabass recorders?

This is the earliest I've viewed a video from you.

brooo are you doing regular videos again awesome

Celesta, Vibraphone and Theremin are my favorits

nice smashing and passing on instruments, davie504!

I like bassline synthesizer : TB-303 , TD-3 and TD-3-MO

EPIC new edit style

OMG Rocky is back!

Yoooo Davide is so back, thank spaghetti

I have been smashing the Cello for almost a decade now ❤️

Xylo s one of my fav.. but ive so maaany... btw, i like the bass cs of you (but its not my fav tho) & I LOVE GUITAR & PIANO YEEESS & THE CELLO & the bagpipe & some others ...

Hammered Dulcimer sounds really good.

I love this guy, Davie needs to slap bass with fire 🔥🔥🔥.

My favorite is bass. I have to find or make a whamola now. Thank you Davie

Cymbow is a tool used to play Bass. Funk Fingers are used to play Bass

you know its a good day when davie uploads

I got mad respect for your Bass skills, but I gained even more respect and admiration, when you "Passed" the entire Saxophone ensemble! (though I'm a little upset about the Bagpipes, maybe check out The Snake Charmer)

Sei molto divertente. P. S. Il basso è il miglior strumento

I'm jealous you got to play the octobass. I went to the Musical Instrument Museum in Pheonix Arizona and they wouldn't let me play it :(

Davie has a band called Descartes A Kant where he plays Mr. Spock and their sound is great! Awesome Bass playing of yours in your band!

4:25 * davie completely ignores sarangi * me a newari person from nepal: d i e s

This is a riot. thx

My favorite instrument is the Baritone/Euphonium (like a tuba but smaller and sounds like a trombone.)

Caro Davie so che sei italiano e so che capirai questo messaggio, sto pensando di comprare un basso ma ce n'è una grande varietà mi daresti un consiglio su quale basso un principiante dovrebbe prendere ?

Theraphy time is what I need

I love to see you Davie504

3:21 is this the sound of the dark souls 2 inventory?

First time I ever saw the whamola. Les Claypool played it in a Primus concert.

Have you checked out the bass lines in Witches by Elephant Gym. I think you'd love the bass work

The most BASEd musical instrument review on the internet

You inspired me to play bass 😊. You and your videos are awesome. 😎 🔥

3:50 “ one of the most relaxing instruments ever, smash”😂
