Rain (played on 100 tons of bells) - performed by Joey Brink

The incredibly talented Joey Brink performs my song "Rain" on his carillon, an enormous tower filled with 100 tons of bronze bells, some the size of a car, that you play with a massive keyboard at the top of the tower.

They give tours of the Carillon Thursday through Friday btw!

keep in touch...

Imagine being a causal rob scallon fan walking down the street, when all of a sudden, a building starts playing rain.

Talk about weird instruments, this guy played rain on a BUILDING!

[SassyWaifu]

seeing it played like this it gives a whole new meaning to "let ring" on the tab...

[SergioLazaroMartinez]

Man I'd be crying if one of my songs was played on an instrument like that one

[MartaRzehorz]

3 boys trying to play the delay acoustically after so much practice and so many attempts: "that's impossible"
one boy seing the sheet music for the first time ever: "Bring it to Mr. Brink, it's time to ring."

[meierboy]

This was awesome, so cool that he got the delay effect down and everything.

[Xaero]

He plays Rain on 100 tons of bells and he doesn't even need a delay to perform it. Man, Joey is truly a badass!

[_cameraboy]

100 tons...that's heavy metal.

_Edit: Wow, this has gotten a TON of likes._

I swear this sounds like an alternate song for the astral observatory in Majora's Mask

[user]

"So, what instrument are you playing?"
"A Building"
"What...?"
"No, literally a Building!"

[Bloorgusgoorge]

Joey Brink was probably the best wacka mole player when he was growing up

[Xhawk]

As Im listening to this, my local church is ringing its 12 noon bells. And Im like thats weak guys...you need to step up your game and play this stuff every hour 😃

[_Ptat_]

I found a good spot for the next episode of metal inappropriate places. Could do a wicked rendition of hell’s bells.

[ManFromThere]

Any amazing exotic instrument: *exists*
Rob Scallon: "Yeah but can it play Rain?"

[AchromaticChameleon]

I definitely feel like Rain was made specifically for this instrument. Absolutely incredible

[MichaelWilliams-twft]

The literal biggest collaboration song in the world: play Rain, but with buildings. Both the bells, and the cathedral organ you visited.

[kazi]

"Oh what instrument do you play?"
Joey: "I play the building"

[eggfriednoodle]

man i would have absolutely ran into that cathedral to shake hands with this man if i heard this playing.

Honestly, I'm just really happy for you dude. not only having your song performed on a building sized instrument on 100 tons of bells, but that also being broadcast through no digital media over a 2 mile radius to all of the surrounding neighboorhoods. I can only imagine what that feels like, but am so happy that you and this community could make it happen :)
