Imagine Dragons - Believer (Cover By Device Orchestra)

Imagine Dragons - Believer played by 7 electric devices: an electric toothbrush, a PS2 controller, a toaster, a typewriter, a steam iron, and two credit card machines. In this video, I also reveal the name of the toothbrush that plays the lead vocals in the verse.

Someone suggested a long time ago that I should try playing rumbling game controllers. For this video, I bought a used, original PS2 controller and connected my wires to the device. Now I can control the vibration motor of the controller to make it jump to the music and to play percussion by hitting the table.

Thank you for the great name suggestions for devices! I'll name more devices in the future.

If 10 years ago you told me that a toothbrush, an iron, a typewriter, a toaster, a PS3 controller and 2 credit card machines would unite to create a complete and utter masterpiece, I would have invented a time machine to get to this moment quicker.

I love these, they take "electronic" music to the next level

[wisemindcollective]

This is honestly a masterpiece. I have been suffering some bad depression lately, and I don't know what it is about this, but it honestly brought me a sense of joy which has become somewhat unfamiliar of late. I feel like I have just developed the most niche taste in music imaginable!

It would be amazing if someone finally makes a Wiki page detailing each member of the Device Orchestra, their individual characteristics and back stories, and of course, the songs and covers they are featured in. It would be the cherry on top if somehow there is a grand narrative capturing each of their stories!

Who's with me?

Bob Floss, that's awesome!
But my love goes to Ron, the steam iron and his amazing percussion skills <3
That's what YouTube was made for

[novatriio]

I don’t care how funny it is this seriously has the coolest sounding “bass drum” ever I swear the low freq bass kick from (I think) the controller is so satisfying

[jacobl]

What the hell? This is my first time seeing this channel and I feel as though this is underrated in the terms of how many subscribers you have.

The editing makes this extremely epic, with the timing of the names and then Bob Floss giving us the phat drop

[Doctor_Elk]

This is probably the most impressive musical composition you've put together. I can't believe how incredibly well the kick drum controller and the bass toaster actually served this song. Impressively well done, more please!!!

[Yogasefski]

There are no mistakes, just happy little melodies.

[nathanbarraud]

You should definitely make "the final countdown", it would be so epic !

[GravelordNairo]

It's uncredible that so much random objects can makes such beautiful music...! WOW.

[안태환-dg]

Your orchestra is getting more awesome everytime!

[johnopalko]

I can imagine the conversations this fellow had when he was a child:
"So, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
"I want to make videos of singing household appliances."
"???"

[MatthewBowe]

This might be the best arrangement ever

[MikeAshelby]

This is arguably _too_ good! I kept forgetting that this wasn't just a low-fi synth remix, but actual physical devices. How is it recorded? It sounds very produced: I'd be interested to hear a room mic of it!

[davidswanson]

Just found this channel and I think this one is the jewel, with so much rich character and theme baked into the soul, plus that balancing act of auteur vs community input. Bravo.

[anjagoller]

That PS2 Percussion sounds great. That thud-sound was kinda missing in the past. 👍
And the dirty bass of the toaster really matches the song.

😔 Let's have a minute of silence for the two credit card machines who were harmed in the making of this video.

My favorite song, I’m glad ya did it!

[alishanmao]
