Carillon (A tower filled with 100 tons of bells)

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!

The one that was ever so subtly mentioned at the end of the video.

insert heavy metal pun here.

I'm an undergrad at uchicago and I was literally walking to my apartment super confused that day. realizing it was rob made me laugh so hard

[JustSomeGuy]

This channel is turning into Rob geeking out over bonkers instruments. And I'm 100% behind this.

[bestbeanfren]

Rob: So do any of these chime on the hour?
Joey: Ye-
All the bells: *ANOTHER HOUR OF OUR EXISTENCE HAS OCCURRED, SUFFER AS WE SING THE SONG OF OUR KIND*

[BeTheAeroplane]

*random notes ring out across Chicago*

Locals: "Looks like Rob's found another instrument."

[the_random_gamer]

Mad respect to this guy, his ability to hold back and not rickroll everyone is beyond me.

[madman]

Usually when you learn an instrument you only annoy family members... now you annoy an entire community lmao!!! So epic!

[SimonDouville]

Rob never realized that rain was composed for Carillon. it's so beautiful.

[MissGRReen]

This was probably one of the most genuine “interviews” I have ever seen. This was so much fun to watch.

[jadensawyer]

What instrument do you play?
*I PLAY THE CHURCH*

[screwd]

Rob went from playing instruments to playing buildings

[justinswallow]

So inspirational to hear about Joey making a brave decision to pursue this art over his engineering career. He seems very happy. Safe to say he probably made the right choice. What an incredibly talented and charming human.

Teacher: "You may bring you own instrument to school tomorrow"
Joey Brink: "Yes"

[DJNokem]

This is one video where the mic getting blown out actually adds to the quality.

[Screaminfox]

So cool that you played For Whom the Bell Tolls on heavy metal bells!

[kommiekoathanger]

Imagine being in this town during the recording. You’re just going about your day then suddenly the church bells start having a seizure for half an hour before you hear them stop and then start playing for whom the bell tolls

[Packbat]

"So, do any of these chime on the hour?"

*BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG*

[bananakitofinternetclan]

"Do any of these chime on the hour?"

Bells: *Deep inhale*

[Kryogenicc]

Rob: "So do these chime on the hour?"
Bells: "Yeah, we do"

[teapeaa]

The man who played the carillon is so beautiful. His confidence in his ability to to play so fluidly is so mesmerizing

[nitroseeks]

Imagine sitting an exam and then out of nowhere Metallica starts playing from the church
