- Since getting my new camera angle and capture setup working on my latest videos, this has been the #1 request by far: to redo TTFAF. (FAQ Below! under "SHOW MORE". Thanks for watching)
I kinda wanted to do it anyway, because looking back at my old TTFAF vids, they're such poor video quality. I never get to see what my hands are doing either, so I wanted to see this video too! ;-)
I think the reason people wanted to see this is to see more closely how I play it with drum sticks. So for some of the trickier sticking parts, I've slowed it down for a few bars and used a Kameo-esque "warrior focus" mode for added effect. I kinda like it. I only did it in parts that are repetitive so that you could also see it played at normal speed in other parts of the song.
This will be my last TTFAF video. I love the song, but it's just too big a mountain to climb. It takes me a 1/2 hour of warm up just to be able to pass it. I practiced it for a couple hours earlier in the day just to try and get back to how good I was at it when I 5-star'd it ( • Through the Fire and F... ) and even so I couldn't quite reach 5 stars (missed it by a measly 5,000 points! If I'd 'a just hit some of those easy SP phrases in the solos, or just not botched the intro... ugh, I'm full of regret... ah well, I have to move on.)
This was my 3rd take of the night and by the 4th one I could barely get through the intro. It's just so tiring! Sweat dripping off my face while I'm playing this. Seriously. But hey, it's a great workout!
Thanks for watching yet another TTFAF video. I really appreciate my subscribers. You guys make it easy to ignore the haters. So I'm glad you like these videos. I enjoy making them.
FAQ:
----
Q: How does it work?
A: Everything is explained in detail here: egyokeo.com/midihero
Q: How do you do 3-note chords?
A: All "two adjacent note" power chords are mapped to the top 4 pads, so with two sticks I can play any 3-note chord except GYO. But I can get that with one stick in left hand and two fingers on right hand.
Q: How do you do whammy and star power?
A: I use a bass drum pedal on my right foot to activate star power, and a hi-hat pedal on my left foot to control whammy depth.
Q: How do you hold notes?
A: My MIDI Hero software has an auto-hold feature for every note hit because it's more natural for a drummer to play that way. It's not a good feeling to mash sticks into drum pads to hold notes.
Q: Which video editor do you use?
A: My earlier videos were made with Windows Movie Maker. My latest videos are made Ulead MediaStudio Pro 8.
Q: How much does this cost?
A: The drumKat is a pro-quality MIDI drum pad set. These days, they run about $1k but I bought my set years ago. I also use a PC to run my custom home-brew MIDI Hero software to interpret the drum events. Then the "XIM" and "XFPS" add another $100+. This is not made for the masses. This is a one-of-a-kind setup.
Q: Do you play real drums? Are you in a band?
A: Yes, I've been playing drums since 1986. I have been in various bands from Jazz to Ska over the years. Right now I'm in the Detroit-based ska band The Exceptions.
Q: Is "MIDI Hero" available to the public?
A: Yes, the details are on my website.

if I was in an apartment and this dude was above me I'd be like "that's one smooth tapdancer"
lol
this comment made my day xD
Evan Burdick your welcome
Wait are you saying tap dancer because you would think he's tap dancing
No he's saying tap dancer because this guy can launch cucumbers out of his ears 100 feet
Beer, hold my son.
Hahahaha
+UllZi Are you 7?
Nigerian Crowbar *facepalm* i said x37bex got conused
UllZi "Because of that alcohol of the beer"
It was because of that beer of the alchool
Now do it with a steering wheel.
Flyerminer Do it with the Kinect
Ben Davis Wii fit board
Do it with a tony hawk ride board
Hahahahaha I'm dead
Do it with your Fans Speed controller while your at it
So hes playing the guitar version on drums? damn dude
Hey Vsauce Robbery Here wow nothing gets past you, huh?
@@lilstinker1949 woah, nothing gets past him, huh?
@E woah, nothing gets passed him, huh?

*drumsticks spontaneously catch fire*
+RimuSedori *entire skeleton catches fire*
Hehe, references.
I was wanting for it
RimuSedori all he needs is red bull.
blarghinatelazer regular show
Tv spontaneously catches on fire
i like the sound of the sticks hitting the pad.
me too its weird lol
i know right?
Redbull=fap fap fap=that...
Benjam Koponen can not unhear
I'm paying more attention to that than the actual song!
I don't care if he missed stuff. That takes a lot
AcTive The Fox it was cool to see him do this but it would be awesome to see him complete the entire song without missing a note
fc
SPIKE508 Gamer He would be crazy, but absolutely amazing.
Because in gh3 you can't play drums
DanielLees46 So you didn't watch this video? Lol
My fucking god, the immaculate rhythm of you hitting those pads pleases my ears to no end.
thats strange
same
FUCK YA!
yeah it's sounds epic! :D
it
I dont think the bits where it slowed down where done on purpose. I think thats just the time dilation effect they say happens when an object approaches the speed of light.
Azriel637 Aside from liking your comment, "time dilation"...this reminded me so much of the PS2 classic, Alter Echo. You sir, made my morning!
+M0N036O I still have a copy of this underrated gem!
More of a reason to like thy comment. I also possess a copy of that gem...need to fix my PS2 though :/
Cazriel comment of the month!
its edited to do that in the actual game it doesn't do that and i should know I've seen a video of this done on guitar
Now do the drum part... On the guitar.
+Josemanuel Maticorena No, he should do the real drums...
+Josemanuel Maticorena Challenge: He has to do it 100 percent, with a modified nintendo power glove.
+Brian Hanar Oh god no.
that is the guitar part. I don't think gh3 even has drums. he's just using a modded controller. unless I'm missing something
+cam's CZcams >drum part on guitar
can you not read?
and unless ive stepped into some kind of time warp, there are 4 sequels that have came out since. they all feature drums AND this song.
I got bored after 2 minutes but I couldn't stop watching because the sound of the sticks hitting the drums was so good.
Asmr
Hahah, same.
Girolamo Esposito my mom walked in while I wad watching this thought I was watching porn -__-
Girolamo Esposito imagine if it were a kid or a hot girl?
You kids wouldn't call it s boring video lip
@@bowens9211 5 years later, this comment is still confusing
After nearly 11 years, CZcams has decided that I am ready to bare witness to this wonderful display of skill.
for the third time
Girl: why are you so buff, do you work out?
Guy: no, I play through the fire and flames on gh3 on expert.... With drums
Girl: *painties drop all the way to China"
Golygt42 lmao
Good to hear drummers are getting appreciated. :)
Cataklysmic Cat The bang bang makes us want to bang bang
This joke was years ahead of its time
This man has just impregnated me.
I'm a 17 year old male.
***** Click the little gear icon on the video, click "Speed", and pick the speed you want to watch it at. You, my friend, are welcome...
Dillios the Spartan -- Damn dude....thats gonna fuckin hurt.
Dillios the Spartan I was not aware God played drums till now...
Dillios the Spartan this comment made me lol
Lol how's the baby
That awkward moment when ur drums start making guitar noises
Watched this video when I was 9 years old. I'm 23 now and this video is still amazing. Some things never change :D
Saaame lmaoo.
This should be titled how to practice quads for marching band.
true
+Omar Ortiz I used to march tenors this looks harder lol
+Angelic Beast was just thinking the same thing lol
i was thinking the exact same thing
IKR Ha ha ha
he's playing a guitar notes on drums, I have no clue why
Cause he kicks ass either way
Because any guitar he tries to play snaps.
I used to play Tekken on guitar. Using the wrong controller for things ups the challenge, makes it more fun.
I could only imagine what that's like haha
yumchin42
Surprisingly not all that bad. Great for getting random challengers in the college lounge, too.
but can he play slow ride on easy?
no dude what no one can legend has it someone once did it but they died right after
David Monroy shiiiiiiii
Lol
Easy
Easy easy easy easy easy
Nobody:.....
CZcams after 10 years: guitarhero, i know you like it
yes we do
How does one's brain even process this? How can you register which notes to play and when to play them?
You're an amazing human being. That's amazing.
It's called being a musician. I'm pretty he is an actual drummer by the way he holds his stick and hiw he plays the super fast notes by double tapping with each stick.
+Dustin Huby start slow and get faster
Muscle memory. He repetitively played this over and over, eventually I'm becomes 2nd nature.
no he really just played it on slowest and fastened it to match the actual speed of the song while editing it.
+Adam Gocher You are an actual idiot.
"How tough am I? I played the guitar part on 'Through the Fire and Flames'."
"Yeah, so?"
"ON THE DRUMS."
11 years later and its still as good as I remember.
this is ridiculous. crazy shit man. like yeah sure he missed a couple notes but dude hes playing the guitar part for Through The Fire and Flames on fucking game drums. that shouldnt be possible.
this probly is not fake he explains in the desc. and for the people who are all like "OMG HOW DOES HE HIT THE NOTE ONCE AND IT GOES THROUGH HE HAD TO KEEP IT HELD DOWN" and no, he does not have to keep it down he had to hit it once and keep the pedal pushed down, and third, why would he miss notes or slow anything down if this was a bot or fake?
Chloe Colors I was wondering how he did the long notes.
Legend says that this guy only needs to sleep for 1 hour a night.
+bowens92 wtf?
+bowens92 wtf?
+bowens92 wtf?
+bowens92 wtf?
+bowens92 wtf?
It sounds like an m4 being repeatedly shot into a giant canyon
Nicolas Jackson how the actual hell would you know what that sounds like?
IPlayRandomGamesOnline because I've done it before
Nicolas Jackson it sound nothingg like it
I was about to say it doesn't but it actually does kinda sound like an M4 carbine
Hyperion yea. It does. It’s off s little, but I’d say it sounds like an m4 for a distance. Like when a shot looses its treble and just becomes a mangled mess of bass.
i could listen to the drumsticks hitting the pad instead of the song and it would be fine
lspeer252 he has a version on his channel like that
“lspeer252”, somehow...(yes)... .
“theaxedude1”, ReallY?
Why are you hitting a panda in the face? :v
Where's PETA when you need them?
+HumdrumCheetah7Busy fighting for PokeMon rights
+metalg33ksolid oh yeah LOL
+metalg33ksolid I can't unsee that
GOD DAMN IT
+metalg33ksolid What has been seen cannot be unseen
even if that wasn't 100%, still cool as hell and satisfying
Was anyone else wondering how he hit a Green, Yellow and Orange chord until he actually did it?
Yes lol
you see the multicore pads?^^
+Kilian Boroske he didn't use them for green, yellow and orange
He has three spare fingers he can use you know
top left and top right, those are a few combinations
tapping sound is super satisfying
Watch this on 2x speed.
Try doing the game WITHOUT the guitar controller and instead the normal Xbox/Playstation controller
***** Done. go to czcams.com/users/html5 and watch the majesty
Malen Makerev already did... my controller is dead now
PlasmaSpliter RIP Controller
***** OMFG!
I'm calling it. You marched tenors in drum corp
+Francis Cooper What if he learned percussion just to play his favorite game?
+Dillon Skye someone didn't read the description
+Francis Cooper No. He has total drum set grip
+Francis Cooper corps*
Rimenuir Lumfatnur Someone can't take a joke. lol and yes he has a proper grip I can tell.
I remember watching this a very long time ago, back when a ttfaf expert fc meant you were part of the current gods of gh3
It's good that yt decided I should watch this again, sure does bring back some memories
The nostalgia, every now and then I look up this video. I remember being awe strucked just how the whole set up worked.
Hold me my beer can do that
+r&rgames Your beer can do that!? Wow!
+Vincent Côté (DiamondCh33se)
XD
+r&rgames Hilarious and original
Hold me beer my can do that
LAME xDDDDDD
His teacher must get REALLY pissed when he taps his pencil on the desk.
10 year old video
(looks at comments)
This video is an antique and I love it
I realized 2 minutes and 43 seconds into the video that he is playing the guitar notes on a drumset....and I was so confused why the guitar would stop playing when he messed up and why the drums would keep going....
*cueue biggest facepalm of the millennium*
this guys is soon gonna be the new mike portnoy
Give this man a medal!
who else watched this as a kid? childhood classic right here
Checking in after 15 years. Still amazing Buddy!
Thanks for stopping by!
Needs more cowbell.
I see what u did there........
Alright, now play two of them
Blindfolded
Yeah OK that would be literally 0.010% chance of not failing + you can't do it. don't tell him to do something nearly impossible.
+AllTheNintendo 'twas but a joke
+AllTheNintendo Nice math?
AllTheNintendo 0.010 -_- its 0.01
+AllTheNintendo You added that 0 at the end just to make yourself sound smarter, didn't you?
You must be a special kind of special.
No one asked for CZcams to recommend this almost 11 years later. But I’m very glad it did. Absolute LEGEND.
This just fills me with so much joy and energy
I have no idea why, but it just sounds so..victorious
2:49 that breakdown is so satisfying.
Holy fucking shit, this is amazing.
I can't believe there is someone that fast, jeez.
VERY good job, mate.
All these years later this is still so satisfying
Lol i remember seeing this vid as a little kid over and over again and it was just the best thing ever
my jaw dropped the whole vid
*jaw falls off*
I saw the video back in the day when GH was up in the sky and I was a little boy. I’m still impressed by how clean your doubles are! Nice technique, hope you’re doing great
I don't know why but when the drumsticks messed you up at 4:16, I lost it completely. Great video btw. I remember watching it all these years ago and when I go and see it, it brings back a lot of good memories.
This looks and sounds satisfying.
holy FUCK
massive respect!
instant respect as a fellow drummer u the best iv ever seen
much more epic than i thought it’d be. very nice
This would be SUCH a fun way to warm up for a gig
When the CZcams algorithm recommends you an 11 year old video and it's lit
Oh my gosh, that was BEAUTIFUL
2020 and this is still just as awesome as it was wayyyyyyyy back when !!
Why go to the gym when you can play Through The Fire And The Flames.
LOLOL BUT FUCKIN GREAT

Tyler DaSilva, 😆 😁!! Nice… 👍🏻 …one.
I feel like the overhand transfers around 4:18-30 are extremely satisfying to watch. Great content all around.
Love the slow mo moments... Really helps prove that this is real.
Incredible job.

I remember watching this as a kid and being amazed. It's anywhere from 13-14 years later, I'm 25. I'm still fucking impressed, Eric. This video is burnt into my memory as something legendary. Thank you. If you still have any of these instruments, I'd love to see a Clone Hero video.
I love the part 5:43 when he does "Tap tap tap tarrataptaptap"
SHOTS FIRED! GET DOWN! GET DOWN!
That was awesome. You played that very well.
Eric, you are a GOD!
