Who played the drumkit: Layne is the drum kit
Layne opens his mouth and burps out snare fills.
Geoff introduced Layne to beat boxing … so he’s perfectly capable. Also this is prerecorded. Jeon plays violin too.
@@martymiller9802 not half as well as Layne.
And Geoff. He helps with all of the background
I think Voiceplay using instrument is like Bob Ross, the American painter, using a putty knife to "paint" landscapes, the end result is all that matters, and it is magnificent.
I so appreciate this comparison! 😂
You can catch Layne beatboxing and playing the violin at the same time in this
I would be surprised if Layne can do only one other thing. He is a BEAST (in the best possible way).
I loved your reaction to this one.😊
I think in an interview J said he can play a few instruments but he's not proficient in them. Layne is a classically trained violinist and they didn't have anyone play the drums. Just Layne beatboxing.
This song always gives me goosebumps!
I do believe that that noise was the violin. I'm thinking they modulated it post production. WOW!! Gotta love their versatility!
It is all vocal percussion yes, haha. The only instruments were the violins.
The only time they actually use instruments, they make sure you can see them being played.
I love the different sounds from Layne's and J None's violins. Layne with the electric violin and J None with the classical violin
People (and you KNOW who you are) need to stop with the major spoilers like telling there will be an instrument and who plays it.
Glad you enjoyed it! You are definitely not alone in having this song break your brain a little the first time through. It's surprising in so many magnificent ways. I don't think the video is exceptionally experimental for that era. The location shoot was certainly a bigger undertaking than just using one of their usual studio spaces, but they were already doing a fair bit of that around the same time. It was more of a natural growth from what they'd done up to that point.
As for instruments the guys play, during a streamed hangout early in quarantine (which is still available under the Live tab on their channel if you want to watch it), they each rattled off at least one or two things they can play to some degree.
From my somewhat fuzzy memory:
** Layne has been studying violin since he was little, has picked up some piano for arranging purposes, and learned enough about playing a drum kit to look convincing when he mimes it during his beatboxing solos. (I think they generally credit him as "drums" because he's humble and "vocal percussion" can sound a little snooty, but the sounds he makes are SO much more than just drum noises.)
** Geoff has been playing piano since he was fairly young (10-ish, maybe?) and uses an electronic keyboard for a lot of his arranging, as well as creating backing tracks for his solo stuff. He also knows enough guitar to look reasonable when his hands do air guitar motions.
** Earl played trumpet and french horn in school, but hasn't really kept up with it. That's why he's so good at recreating the sound of brass hits. (Side note, yes, he's a teddy bear, but have you not looked at his physique? He is BUILT. 💪 He tossed that hay bale in Daddy Sang Bass like it was nothing.)
** J.None plays of a bunch of things passably -- violin, guitar, piano, accordion, a couple wind instruments (sax and clarinet, I think?) -- but doesn't consider himself really proficient in any of them. (He just doesn't say that last part when he's auditioning for jobs.)
** Eli is the one I remember the least. I feel like he was kinda quiet that day. I think he said a bit of guitar and maybe piano, too, which would make sense with his rock band background. His creative tech-nerd heart is definitely more focused on audiovisual production stuff now.
The expression on Layne's face when he's playing, though! He truly loves creating music on the violin!
DJ, Voice Play as a group are wonderful magicians aren't they? They are so good at lulling us all into suspending our disbelief, Layne is a wizard in his own right by the way he manipulates the sounds in post production. To me it's not much of a stretch seeing Jay playing along with Layne, better yet it wouldn't surprise me at all if he did play the violin. Don't forget that Geoff, Layne and Earl worked/performed for Disney, so they know about performance magic, they are after all, Bards, in the truest sense.
You need a custom t-shirt with "I've been violated by VioLayne". 🤣🤣🤣
Oooooh Baby! I've been WAITING for you to do this one! "Can I get a 'Wahoo?'"
Violated by VioLayne. That's the dj we know and love. 😂 💜 #DJantlers #DJsHerd
laine can beatbox whilst playing violin
Awesome reaction DJ.
That was Layne doing vocal percussion as well as the violin. It was layered because he couldn't do both at the same time. Once for drums and once for violin.
If I remember correctly Layne is classically trained and obviously still regularly practices and in an interview about this JNone said that at the time he knew how to play but was very rusty so that is why he didn't play much.
Layne has been playing since middle school. J since he was younger. Or vise versa. I know one was middle school and one was around 5 years old.
@@ronsbrat525 Yeah I know they both have been playing for a while but I remember reading somewhere in the comments J None said he was a bit rusty 🤔 but I appreciate the clarification! 😁
@@joshuaebel7096
What I meant was they learned when they were those ages. I know J None was rusty. That's why he didn't play much in this video.
J None is actually good at various other instruments as well but rusty with those too.
Can't wait for everyone to see Voiceplay's new video. Voiceplay flew J None in on for a weekend to film it.
@@ronsbrat525 ooo nice! I am hyped J None fits sooo well with this iteration of voiceplay I am definitely excited to hear that
The first time we were introduced to vioLayne. And of course vioNone as well. :) So happy you noticed as many don't notice the two violins. Geoff has said that being a musician helps singers with musical understanding. I have a feeling that Eli plays something but not sure what. No drums. If they use an instrument they show it.
Eli has many many many voices. He does voiceovers sometimes on the side.
In their chats, you can frequently see at least one keyboard sometimes more and the background when Eli is on the screen. He’s pretty quiet about his proficiency’s, but I would not be surprised at all to hear he has more than keyboarding in his repertoire.
@@janetdw
I agree. These guys are definitely extremely talented.
Just VioLayne, ( NOT Vio None, he hasn't earned that title yet ).
@@marshayoung9387 Maybe not but maybe he should :)
In the part where you weren't sure if it was Layne's violin or Earl, it was both. You can hear Earl matching the violin and blending with it, which creates a lovely effect. No drums, just a guy who swallowed a drum kit. There's some THICC echo effect on Layne's tom fills in that one part. Right in that moment of the video, you can see his mouth making the sounds, although of course it's all pre-recorded. Still, I guess they want to visually show that he's beatboxing AND vioLayne-ing at the same time.
The man is just so talented. All of them are. Earl apparently plays French horn and trumpet. (Mad respect, French horn is HARD... I say that as a trombonist who learned F-horn in high school.) Geoff is beautiful on piano and knows guitar. J.None learned violin, he isn't classically trained like Layne is, but still! I don't know if Eli plays an instrument, but it's enough that he's a graphics genius and multi-linguist who speaks Japanese. (And now I want to see them cover an anime opening song. "SASAGEYO SASAGEYO!")
If I’m not mistaken I read somewhere before on their bios that all of them play several different instruments. But this was my first time watching your reactions and I adore how you react. But they all are a very multi talented group of handsome men. Love love love these guys.
If you watch Earl during that high pitched moment, you can see he's the one doing it 😁 Same with Layne doing that very convincing beat boxing. If you watch his mouth, he is doing his darndest to at least look like he's beatboxing and playing the violin at the same time.
Layne is a force to be reckoned with. I wish the guys would let him shine more with all his talent's. I want him to sing a love ballad.
Layne arranges about half of their music, so I am sure he performs as much as he wishes.
He gets a singing part in their cover of Can't Help Falling in Love!
And he's also done songs on his own personal channel where he sings with his family~.
Yeah, it's dangerous. VP & rock is always dangerous. Even just VP is dangerous 🤣
Oh, reactions to Trapped trilogy with Billie Eilish and Panic! will be so interesting one day
Amazing reaction, sunshine 💙
Oh yes...can't wait to see those here!
Yeah, VP uses instruments rather sparingly, but they always make good use of them when they do. Another example is the pitched percussion instrument they use in Attention. Sooner or later I hope they use Geoff's piano in a VoicePlay song. Icing on the cake would be if one of them played sax, but I don't know if any of them do.
This is the first of their post apocalyptic series. I was unfamiliar with the song and the audio clip I found had been synced to footage from the game League of Legends. It was apparently written for a tournament. It’s a post apocalyptic world and “we are the warriors” are trying to rebuild their society. According to the lyrics they are not getting the respect that they think they deserve.😊
Dream On is said to be the second of the series. We have lost J and Earl to zombies or some other bad force but they found Omar and Cesar wandering around and brought them into the fold. And then of course for Seven Nation Army, Omar was replaced by Anthony.
This is really simplistic as far as the set but it is so powerful. Those violins add so much!
Your reaction to Layne and J None playing violin makes me think of a song from the (oooold) musical "1776" called "He Plays the Violin" ....
It was not a drum kit. It was all Layne. :)
VioLayne!! This gives me goosebumps!
J None has said Layne is a better player, but I'd like to see him playing more (the same with Layne).
Layne us just a ..... he can play violin and beatbox at the same time. 🤯🤯🤯🥰🥰
Hope your enjoying your vacation. When you get back you might want to check out A Crimpella
Yes. That one is fun.
Voiceplay wouldn't add an instrument to a song/video without actually showing the instrument. Because that would undermine trust in their authenticity. So the only instruments are the violins and voices. It's beautifully done, isn't it. You should try hearing the original by Imagine Dragons. I love them and they have produced some incredible songs.
The story, as I understand it is Layne has been professionally trained for quite a long time. At the time of this video, J. None was a bit 'rusty' on his violin, so he just plucked along...playing a little bit.......Layne is also beatboxing while playing the violin.....>^^^^
I would love to see a version of Devil/Georgia with them playing Johnny and the Devil.
7:13 that was earl singing a very high woah
Layne also writes music and lyrics.
Oh and re: J None on the violin "SURPRISE!"
Part of me wonders if this was a response to Pentatonix’s version of “Radioactive” (also Imagine Dragons, incidentally) featuring the amazing violinist Lindsey Stirling.
The Devil Went Down to Georgia would be terrific for VoicePlay to do. Layne did the beatboxing as well. Found it was tricky doing both vocal percussion at the same time as the violin. This was taken into consideration for Nothing Else Matters. Warriors has been one of my favorites since I first heard it. An amazing piece of work.
Been waiting all day for this. ❤❤❤❤
Lol… “I’ve been violated by VioLayne”…😂
Yup, we’ve got VioLayne and Vio-J!! All these guys are so multi-talented. And Earl’s voice here -perfect with the strings. When I hear songs like this I miss him so much! That was all Layne. He makes those sounds quite a lot.
I think this was around the time VP was really finding its sweet spot, musically, theatrically, and in terms of group cohesion.
This is my favorite of them❤
This one never gets old. I LOVE it!
One of my top VP favorites!
I'm pretty sure VP follows the same rules as PTX. There are no mechanical instruments, unless they're shown onscreen.
OH MY GOD I'M WAITING IT SO SO MUCH
Ikr? DJ is gonna freak the heck out.
No punishment needed hun, Layne was making all the drum sounds with vocal percussion...just beatbox...lol...
It might be around here that they stopped referring to him as "drums" so often in the descriptions of their videos because people assumed they were using instruments...but no, it's just Layne being a freaking awesome mad person...lol
I love this one because it feels so raw and new every time I hear it. I dont know that this was a "trying something new" phase per se but I think this was when they were doing some of their "bigger" productions and stuff.
There is a BTS for this but I don't remember any explanation for Violayne particularly...might have to go back and watch it again!
Hope you're having an incredible holiday and a HUGE thank you for getting these all organised and lined up for us...they are fabulous as always ❤
This song formed the basis of a background for a D&D character. It's this version, not the original by Imagine Dragons, that brought them to life for me.
Love your reaction. Everyone else covered the answer portion 😊. Thank you for my smile today.
Dangit, tisn't fair that I have to wait * looks at clock * nine freaking hours for this. :P I voted for it in the Patreon and am soooo looking forward to it.
Ooh, this is so going to be fun to watch. Hope you are enjoying your vacation.
n The Air Tonight - VoicePlay ft J.None (acapella) Phil Collins Cover
I always go back to this one, it is really wonderful. If you have access to the Behind the Scenes for this one be sure you check it out!!
J None plays a lot of instruments, "A Lot" Layne beet boxed the drums
Another great reaction!! Made me smile!!❤
So glad you got to this one, it's so good. Loved your reaction!
Always love your VP reactions 😂. That high scream was Earl (at 7:00 in you video) He is insane. But if you want to see JNone do a ridiculously high scream you should watch Panic in 5 minutes pt 1&2 (but not before Trapped as it is the first part of the story)
Am i the only one reminded hearing vioLayne build midway of the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge?
Don't forget that Kevin from Ptx can cellobox, so there's no reason why Layne can't violinbox. See Pentatonix with Lindsay Sterling do Radioactive, also a cover of Imagine Dragons.
The reason would be that it is much more difficult to beatbox with your chin occupied by the violin. You need to be able to open your mouth and put it in various different positions to beat box. Very difficult with a violin in the way. The cello is no where near the chin while being played.
This is epic
Pretty sure that was the drum kit that Layne obviously swallowed as a child.
still my favourite and the one that totally gobsmacked me loved the violin don’t think there were any drums ❤🏴
Please do Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton😊
I think Warriors was written for the game League of Legends. It's a big team vs team thing that has professional league thing all over the world and an annual "world series" sort of event. My son plays it a lot.
Because I had not heard the song, I went to the Internet and the link I clicked on had the song played by Imagine Dragons, but video from the game itself which was very cool. I don’t do video games so it helped put everything into perspective and helped me figure out why they were looking so post apocalyptic.
@@janetdw Oh, that's not the video game itself. It was for the 2014 Worlds event they had. League of Legends (LoL in the gamers' parlance) is a 5 versus 5 team game and there are professional leagues in various regions (north america, EU, etc) and then the best go compete. (I find it confusing because the community is also incredibly toxic on a level I just don't get. But it's the most popular game of its type.) Literally the gamer nerds' dream of being able to make a living playing video games. The Netflix (I think) animated series Arcane is based on characters in LoL and Imagine Dragons did that one's song Enemy. Which Voiceplay also did an amazing cover of.
Layne's chin is not on the violin. I don't know how many times I've watched this to see what he's using for a support, but it's more on his neck than his chin. It *is* vocal percussion. You can see his mouth doing his regular percussion.
I miss Earl- he was such a distinct top note for their spreads. This one is a classic. I don’t think they could do a bad version of an Imagine Dragons song.
I always thought that they allowed Earl to overpower the others. Most times when he was singing you really couldn't hear the others. I so much prefer Eli in Rock God mode...he gets up there without going so high it's almost shrill. This is one song where he remained part of the whole rather than "starring". I do miss his personality though.
@@laurab5750 I agree, Earl has always overpowered the rest of them....One person shouldn't overpower the rest to the point where you can't hear the others. I am glad Earl is gone & I hope he stays gone.
Is it me but Eli, with his glasses looks a lot less intimidating than in the other 2 vidéos (dream on & seven nation army)? He looks like an adorable nerd.
How about Violayne also doing the beat boxing AT THE SAME TIME!?
Also, I have a new suggestion for you. There is a guy that does amazing metal Witcher covers called Skar. He does amazing work on all his covers.
No drum kit, Layne all the way❤
Read his (Layne) lips...beat box Layne at work! :0) :0) :0)
You okay my friend?
' There will be punishment" What you gonna do huh? huh/? Ban them from your channel?? Then you be punishing yourself mate lol ...oh and all of Voiceplay including Earl can beatbox , there are vids of it happening lol
Don't panic! J wasn't really playing the violin - it was all just for effect. This begins their post-apocalyptic saga, comtinuing with Dream On and Seven Nation Army. Layne did not play the drums for this, only vocal percussion. I do have to ask a favor of you. Could you please be conscious of holding your hands over your mouth when you're speaking? I know it's true reaction, and I know it's honest, but it does make it hard to lip read for those of us who find the CZcams auto-generated captions useless. Thanks!
❤🎉
Nice reaction, but honestly, I'm kinda getting annoyed by people reacting to these covers without having ever hear the source material. Turn it into a two parter or even put it in the same video. But songs like this and Valhalla Calling you really need to have heard the original to appreciate the arrangement that Voiceplay's done here. And both of those originals are definitely worth a reaction as well. And while I'm sure Layne COULD play the drums, that was all vocal percussion, look at his mouth when he does that breakdown you were questioning ;)
i know you're relaxing in bali. but jonthan young released a metal version of poor unfortunate souls. and i must warn you. you will not survive
Oh we all know that he won’t survive. I just want to know how long it will take before he does. I was in awe afterwards.
@@Ally.20022 same
Since you like violin so much, you should react to Pentatonix and Linsey Stirling doing "Over The River". :) It is, other than "The Prayer", their cinematic best, IMO.
