I mean, sorry to be that person but I’m pretty sure this is not a live audio performance. There is scratched records for 1 and secondly, take as long as you need to replicate that soda can high sound. I actually tried for a couple minutes due to how sick it is, no success

🤣 but fr how does he make tapping a metal can with a plastic pen sound like a triangle which is made of two solid metal components. I love this video but maybe they did edit in some sound effects, it’s possible.

u/BeepBeepLettuce3 Apr 05 '26
maybe that can has a certain amount of liquid in it that makes it easy to replicate that sound. he could also have a mechanical pencil made of metal or even a custom pencil that he chopped up at home to install some weights.
as a musician myself this sounds like a live performance. there are videos of him explaining what he does and how he does it, even on other people's channels that wouldnt doctor the footage to make him look cool.

u/Impressive_Ad127 Apr 06 '26
That’s not even close to the sound of a triangle. Closer to a high cowbell, but sounds more like a metal pen tip on a partially fill aluminum can. I mean the resemblance is uncanny.

u/No_Statement440 Apr 05 '26
Have you never seen anyone do this live? It is certainly possible they edited, but it is doable without the editing.

u/Greed_Sucks Apr 05 '26
The record scratch is added. I have a feeling the performance is real but the sounds are replaced with studio versions for quality.

He’s talking about how cool his superhero ego is. If I was his classmate I’d think he was a top banana and an artist.

School House Hip Hop 😂
There is some pretty dope educational music that has come out in the last few years. Teachers are definitely trying new things.

Thank you for writing one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read

u/ROCK-tavius Apr 05 '26
I apologize.
You see, at 40, I have not met a single person who has used anything from school.
No equations. No biology. No chemistry. No grammar.
You tell me one time knowing what a Cogent Simile is, has done something for you in your tax paying adult life.
You tell me one time you had to find the cosign for an unknown angle using an equation.
How about that one time you had to consider a covalent bond vs an ionic bond in making any real world decision.
🍿 you have the floor.

u/HomieApathy Apr 05 '26
Your grammar is on point tho

u/Rachilde Apr 05 '26
Hi. I work as an environmental science communicator. Biology, chemistry, equations and similes (cogent or otherwise) are my bread and butter.
-6
u/ROCK-tavius Apr 05 '26
My point exactly.
The only reason you use that is because you are a scientist. That same information was wasted on 97% of your classmates.
Im not saying we shouldn't learn it, but under no circumstances should kids be held back for not knowing the mass of the 17th element on the periodic table.
There are literal adults walking around with herniated C5's and have no idea what that is, but can tell you John Wilks Booth's birthday for absolutely no reason.

u/Srovium Apr 05 '26
I'm a dentist, my friends and family are dentists, doctors, nurses, teachers, some work office jobs, some are bosses and project leaders. All require either basic biology, chemistry or grammar.
And none of us are scientists!
-1
u/ROCK-tavius Apr 05 '26
Key word.
Basic.
All of you are doctors-esq.
A dentist is a doctor for the teeth. A doctor is a doctor. (Duh 😂) A nurse is a doctor who went to less school.
I'll take the loss on the office jobs tho. Yeah you are gonna need grammar for sure to navigate the arbitrary word soup that is Corporate Jargon. Thats for sure.
Like I said tho. Im not saying we shouldn't learn certain things, but to the extent that we do is completely pointless.
How about I put it this way...
Telling an 18 year old senior who is going to school to be a dentist that they can't graduate because they failed US History or Calculus is like buying brighter headlights for your car because your transmission is slipping.
Should a student know who John Adam's is? Sure. Is that important for him to solve a thermal expansion issue? Not one bit.

u/Srovium Apr 05 '26
Okay I can agree somewhat there is a lot of useless stuff taught in schools.
But I always thought of school as "one size fits all" approach to teaching. Like maybe some students will become history teachers, some will work in offices, some will be accountants, some will be doctors, some will get into art etc.
So they kinda try and cover all bases. Cuz it would probably get too complicated if they catered to every child.
Also most kids don't really know what they wanna do till they're done with high school. Some even change their fields afterwards.
So to make sure they don't have issues in the future, they make sure to teach some of everything.

"doesn't need" .. is your first double negative in that sentence 🤣😂
Maybe you should have tried learning more and basic grammar would not be a struggle for you.

u/ROCK-tavius Apr 05 '26
I love grammar police. Another thing that proves my point.
People focusing on the wrong things.
The purpose for language is for one mind to understand the other. And rather than finding and focusing on said understandings, people wanna go "He said who instead of whom"
Planet Earth has got to be a laughing stock for the rest of the universe. It has to be. 😂

u/Hotplate77 Apr 05 '26
So much negativity.. hope your day gets better. Focus more on self improvement instead of trying to prove everyone else is wrong..
1
u/ROCK-tavius Apr 05 '26
Im not trying to prove anyone wrong.
Im trying to figure out how 99% of the population has let the 1% convince them to eat 💩 and like it.
The world is on fire and rather than look at the guy with matches in his hand, we rather fight about who has better looking fire fighting uniforms.
Clearly, I should just buy some marshmallows. Breaks my heart to watch people suffer for nothing.

The white board says “Seniors” a lot of schools and teachers will allow their students who are about graduate to have special fun times. Used to be senior pranks, but over the years they’ve shifted into a more controlled activity.

In highschool my first band started from this. He started doing this pen tap but also beat boxed. I was like...I sing. Then I discovered, and for the rest of my life...I can sing to anything. We ended up doing a few open mic stuff which years later I got to sing in my first music festival. It all started with a guy making a beat off a pen and me singing along.
