wow I didn't know this instrument exist until people said they used this on SMT 4 Apocalypse "B2 Boss theme". Neato!

[arctohru]

Shin Megami Tensei 4
B2 Boss theme

*These are the instruments in that song*

[jackdee]

I have always wanted to learn this instrument and the xylophone they are the nicest sound in my opinion like the beautiful sound in the song “ come let us adore him sung by clay Aiken that Tubular bell chime ending is just amazing aaaah sounds like heaven just beautiful

[afiqh]

I love, love, love the sound. I fell in love with it when i was in a school band. It was a part of “jacob’s ladder to a crescent”.

Heard this instrument for the first time during Beating the Retreat ceremony in Delhi. Abide with Me was played with all other instruments not playing at all- in silence the sound of the tubular bells was so pure and so pristine. A soul lifting experience.

This instrument has been used in:
-Shin Megami Tensei 4
-Deltarune
-Terraria Calamity Mod
-Rivals of Aether
-Touhou Project
Seriously, why does every single niche videogame artist use this soundfont?

"Two slightly distorted guitars"

[jorgereixach]

Thankyou for you time. Really well explained . I never knew until today about this great and beautiful instrument

[kranossity]

I remember we had one of these in my middle school band class. I think only 2 songs we played ever called for it but it was always so fun to play. Percussion really is awesome with so many different instruments all with different feelings that you get from playing them. Playing the massive base drum was probably my favorite with xylophone being my second fave. Oh almost forgot timpani drums are tied for second since they're so awesome I don't want to put them any lower.

Lmao the owner of this account is probably wondering why we're all here. If we gave him the sheet music, I wonder if he'd play that part from SMT4 for us

[hjkim]

Thx for this video, your explanation is really useful for me

[blindhouse]

We are waiting for Shin Megami Tensei IV Battle B2 with real tubullar bells.

[Elvis_Roberto]

Gave the 200th like! Thank you for the video, i always wanted to learn more about this instrument.

[maestromarcelominal]

Thank you for this very informative class.

[TheNomadicHandpan]

These were also used by Neil Peart in the song Closer To The Heart by Rush.

[cavsomecadence]

😂😂😂 I thought he was gonna play. Mike Oldfields, Tubular Bells.😂😂😂

My 1st exposure was the living room door bell 1970"s

[Tocsin-Bang]

Only instrument I ever played in a public performance, over 50 years ago. I was stage managing "The Beggars Opera", which called for church bells in the final act. There was no room in the orchestra pit. The musical director knew I could read music, and that I would be able to see him through a spyhole, so I played, only for three performances.

[johnmarkquinamot]

I usually heard the sound of Chimes during Christmas season. Which makes me think Chimes is best for Christmas since it replicates the sound of Church's Bells.

[nottelling]

You missed a chance to play The Exorcist theme, which happens to be called tubular bells.



Seriously, why has nobody played that theme on this instrument? It would literally be Tubular bells on tubular bells
