My two year old thinks you are the most amazing person on YouTube. You have drums, marimbas, xylophones, a ukulele, and a microphone to play with. We all love your videos, but you're currently one of his idols!

[jenniferjames]

You’re like the Bob Ross of percussion

[richii-ii]

The fact you made this for your 5th grade class is so much better

[Rad_Ant]

Thank you for the cover. First of all, I'm Korean. This song is my first American song. I hadn't listened for a long time, and I was sent to the other side of my memory. When I heard this cover, I thought about my middle school days, and I almost came to tears. Thank you again.

Keeping the beat by dancing in any part of your body is a great way to stay on time in rhythm and on point

Oh. My. Word. I came here because the SMW Athletic Theme video was in my recommended, and I loved it so much that I figured I’d peruse this channel’s older videos... and here I find you covered Bastille, the band I stan so deeply with all my heart?? I could not be more pleased right now. It’s such a beautiful cover!
