Rhythm Purgatory

happy april fool's day lol

[everydaylouie]

sorry the video quality is weirdly low lol. kinda fits i guess

[OmicronGaming]

This is just an excuse for Louie to show off a solo over giant steps

[shiquote]

As a low brass player in an orchestra, I’ve been preparing for this moment my whole life.

[NekkoBlue]

I appreciate the Chorus Kids chiming in later in the song to let us know our part is almost here :)

[soli-ethd]

"Louie Zong makes a frustrating Rhythm Heaven minigame" has got to be my favorite genre of YouTube, like actually

As a percussionist, I eat this for breakfast. I have a 67 measure rest in our concert this season 😂

[trashlag]

As a percussionist who has binders full of one-note songs, I can relate

[derpzones]

This is the musical equivalent of standing in the middle of a party you weren't invited to wondering where the bathroom is but too socially awkward to ask anyone

If this was made as an indie game, many people would definitely play this. Especially with modding capacity added in.

[DBStepSkin]

that poor cow man, *only able to hit the bell at the last 6 seconds lol*

[generalpirateguy]

for those who don't know: the line with 63 on it is a multi measured rest, where you do not do anything with the indicated number, that would be 63 and the lil swiggly thing next to the line is a quarter rest where you don't do anything for a quarter note and the little line with a dot next to it is ALSO a quarter rest both combined is a half rest and then the thing next to that is a note, and you can guess what that is and that all equals to 1:05 minutes

And here I thought Giant Steps couldn't be made any more cursed...

[MarkyVigoroth]

To those who need tips:

The initial part of the song (the 'paa paa po o' part) repeats much later on the song. You do not need to worry abou the timing until that part plays a second time.


After the initial part plays again, wait until the cow's hooves are parallel to the floor a second time. That is, the firs time the cow's hooves are parallel to the floor, the co will keep spinning until the cow's hooves are parallel a second time.


Do not input immediately after you see the cow's hooves be parallel. Even after the second time, the background goes back to normal and the co will wind up her stick a tiny bit before hitting the cowbell. You might end up inputting just barely before she does.

For anyone wondering, the song is "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane, a VERY popular jazz piece

[leppycolon]

escaping rhythm purgatory isn't that hard if you're experiencing all of it all over again
just memorize where the note is and you'll get it sometime

[plushdragonteddy]

as a bass player, i thought this was for me, but then i really took in what i was seeing, and i knew this was for the percussionists who are assigned to the gong

[muse-icality]

genuinely counted the rest and slapped my knee in time to test myself, I also escaped rhythm purgatory

[Haganeren]

"Bell Cow appears"
"Bell Cow ting the bell. It has no effect on Ness and its friends"
"Bell Cow calm itself"
YOU WIN

[Skellington]

This is the secret level that you would discover as a kid by accident and then years later you start to question if that was even real or not

[NoodleDoobles]

I think I gain a piece of my soul back every time I see videos like these. Give me more nonsense, I feed off of chaos.
