How do you do it

[@JoePorterPercussion]

Feeling ready for some Whack-A-Mole games after practicing Crazy Train 🤣

[@Terratetradon]

You would crush at it

[@yazanhawari4441]

Your dexterity is amazing

[@infinitecarz]

I can play part of crazy train on my alto sax

[@FULLY_AUTOMATIC]

@@infinitecarz nice bro, I can play a part on my piano

[@MitchellC564]

we need a cover of it on the slapaphone

[@dreadnaughtswake]

Hearing Crazy Train played on a slapaphone is something I didn’t think I needed to hear today. Keep up the good work!

[@Juuzo]

not if you didn't know of the Blue Man Group

[@yrgarddfechan]

That song is from trolls world tour

[@sweetgherkinz]

@@yrgarddfechan more like in trolls world tour

[@idk_why_i_exist]

He forgot the AI AI AI

[@kishascape]

His sticking was terrific. He didn’t hit slappers together once.
Also the sound off that thing is really cool. Like an analog synth,

[@big_guppy]

As being a 13 year old percussionist, you inspire me so much to get better and better😁

[@alextheukrainianguy]

I am a 13 y o keyboard player, and he still inspires me lol

[@SnacksDeCarGuy]

he got me back into Bass Guitar

[@JoePorterPercussion]

Awesome to hear that! All the best to your musical journey!!

[@_h0t_ch0colate_]

yo same, except i'm 14! nice pfp by the way

[@Gamatatsu69]

I’m trumpet! 2nd chair ❤

[@Flavio_Mark]

I 100% support more Rush covers. That YYZ intro was amazing ❤

[@fyrecracker7201]

Rush is the best

[@CodeBreaker0X5]

He even had to play the more complicated song that Rush had at that which was Awesome... would definitely like to see Limelight or The Trees

[@iwishic0uldw1n24]

Oh yeah!

[@aarongrimes6490]

@@fyrecracker7201 can't beat canadian classics 🇨🇦

Just remember that it's morse code for Y, Y, then Z and you can get the phrasing down.

I was hooked once he went god mode on the slapaphone

Slapaphone is always gold

[@kihutreekov6858]

Oh, I love Crazy Train and Smells Like Teen Spirit! Great work, man.

[@JoePorterPercussion]

Thanks, have a great day!

[@welldangbroo7921]

The way he moved around the marimba was so robotic and exact makes it look even more impressive

*These songs are absolutely amazing*

@@JoePorterPercussion you too

Now, this isn't art: THIS IS MAGIC! I specially enjoyed Smells Like Teen Spirit and YYZ. Breathtaking.

[@niko4613]

Nirvana is ass

[@jedrzejsiata98]

1:07-1:34
I really love a hammer dulcimer part, Misirlou from Pulp Fiction.😁

[@Zeagods-CyberShadow]

It gives it a more Egyptian like the original

[@jedrzejsiata98]

Fun fact: "Misirlou" is a folk song from the Eastern Mediterranean region.🙂

[@Chris-ln3xe]

No.... It's Pump It by the Black Eyed Peas....

[@infinitetgaming]

I love how YYZ sounds like it came out of Final Fantasy 7. I'd love a full version, but I'd also love more Rush songs too.

[@elytrahero5556]

That Crazy Train cover on the slapophone was amazing!

[@Big_Wing]

You need to do a full cover on crazy train, that sounded fantastic

[@justamushroomgirl3613]

That would be epic.

[@niko4613]

Ong

[@nathanarsenault2864]

absolutely

[@funki4896]

In my German school we had a "slap-a-phone" but it was called Klo-rohr-phon which means "loo-tube-phone" 😁

[@FULLY_AUTOMATIC]

If you think we need a full version of crazy train
👇

[@xzavierobispo989]

It's very impressive that he's able to play such a wide variety of percussion instruments from all around the world

[@breadcalled4173]

I think an interesting song choice would be raining blood by slayer. The intro does contain a lot of strange and cool musical instruments

[@samalex9080]

The main riff of Crazy Train sounds like an Ibiza club night remix. Damn, this whole thing is so good. Again.

[@greenturtle2046]

This guy is just the chad of instruments

[@sketch-mer6195]

Seeing my instrument, the 17/16 hammered dulcimer, being showed more than when I started picking it up makes me so happy and yearn to learn how to play my instrument again.
Thank you so much!!!!

[@beansinacan500]

Joe went God mode on the slapaphone!

[@elicarter1356]

And also the drum kit considering YYZ is extrmelyyyyy hard to play. Primus even had a hard time playing it and les clay pool is the best bassets of all time

[@aetheralmeowstic2392]

_Surf Rock_ on a hammered dulcimer sounds like music from a desert area in a game.

[@BonesWasHere]

Gotta love this guy for including some Rush songs in his videos. Great band, great CZcamsr.

[@Matthew-pn1qu]

You should do Rush songs on different instruments. There are some famous percussion parts in songs like Xanadu and Closer to the Heart, and I think you could also make some interesting interpretations of their other songs with other percussion instruments. Also, you should play La Villa Strangiato on drums. Love your channel btw -- percussion is underrated!

[@OzarkCrusader]

Joe: "Slapaphone!" **shreds**

[@McHeisenburger]

That Crazy Train slapophone bit was absolutely incredible holy wow

[@Blooga_]

Love it Joe, keep this up man!

[@JoePorterPercussion]

Roger that! Have a great day!

[@fernandocrespin7201]

YYZ was sick, one of the first Rush songs I learned how to play on drums 🥁

[@kishascape]

Lamest track on this video.

[@fernandocrespin7201]

@@kishascape damn homie you ain't gotta be like that

[@mike1024.]

The majority of my exposure to these songs was music rhythm games, yet somehow I actually recognized all of them. Your rendition of crazy train was especially good!

[@xavierwedel4691]

Fun fact: Rush is a Canadian band (if some people didn't know), and for the same people who didn't know, YYZ is the IATA airport identification code of Toronto Pearson Intl. Airport, near Rush's hometown. It also happens to be the largest Airport in Canada.
The band was introduced to the rhythm of ths song as Rush's guitarist Alex Lifeson flew them into the airport, hence thd reason they named it.

[@shesleigh2579]

I Enjoyed this so much

[@JoePorterPercussion]

😀

[@moonlightdreamer4957]

What I like most about these videos is the introduction to instruments I’ve never heard of.

[@ZerotheWanderer]

The Crazy Train intro was, well, crazy. Love it!

[@liampeters3207]

That Crazy Train Rendition was amazing. Takes me back to the first time I saw a Blue man Group video where they played it

[@OS08]

Wish there was a full version of crazy train on slapaphone by this guy

Awesome! Have a great day!

[@The_Umpteenth_Doctor]

Guys, I've got a fever! And the only prescription, is MORE SLAPAPHONE!

Crazy train on the slapophone reminds me of that meme with the guy who has 2 rolls of wrapping paper

😎

[@Mr_red_-mc3en]

I’m a simple man, I see Ozzy Osbourne and joe porter in the same video..
I watch and I like

[@eplayz3077]

i'm a 12 year old bass guitarist and my band is doing a cover of a bunch of nirvana songs including smells like teen spirit so i think its super cool to see possible instruments to learn! thank you for inspiring me😁

[@ILI.D.]

He really got in the zone on the first one

[@andertschetter5513]

These bring me back to my guitar hero days

[@Retrotude]

Funnily enough my introduction to Crazy Train was the skit on a Blue Man Group concert where they tried to play a cover on their PVC instruments only to be interrupted by the "AY, AY, AY" voice and an unexpectedly long-lasting vibraslap.

[@Birdy25343]

Cool love the vid

[@JoePorterPercussion]

Thanks, have a great day!

I need more rock songs, trying to make a playlist based off all the rock songs you play ❤

Please do a full cover of yyz, it’s an awesome song and I love when I hear it, it’s so good my high school is doing a marching band show with it

[@harebrainedrabbit]

you gotta do this again with heavy metal songs like master of puppets

"Crazy Train" is my fav tune in Ozzy Osbourne solo work ever.
