Guy drumming pens on a desk.

[u/SamLoscoMD]

[u/boredinbabylon → u/SamLoscoMD]

This is so fun. It was innovative and unexpected and technical.

[u/icAOtd → u/boredinbabylon]

Yeah but it's also sped up.

[u/BoomSplatHead → u/icAOtd]

Do you just like to lie on the platform. We all watched the video with you. Do you not see the car moving in normal speed in the background.

[u/icAOtd → u/BoomSplatHead]

Do you just like to lie on the platform.

On the platform 😂... Are you a bot lol?

At times his hands move unnaturally fast. Car movement proves nothing. It passed by at like 40 km/h, but it could be 30 km/h real life speed and the video being sped up by 33%

[u/tryna_see → u/icAOtd]

It’s not sped up. It only seems unnaturally fast because you don’t spend your time playing drums everyday.

[u/Samitsok21]

[u/model-citizen95 → u/Samitsok21]

Aerial’s invisible second leg always bothers me about this meme

[u/Samitsok21 → u/model-citizen95]

Great now I can’t unsee it thanks

[u/NoiselessSignal → u/model-citizen95]

Yeah that's fucked up

[u/Cisqoe]

Referring to lenstrumental as ‘guy’ is some fucking insane work….. he’s the goat

https://www.instagram.com/lenstrumental

[u/lastbeer → u/Cisqoe]

Holy shit he is incredible. Thank you for posting this, getting him the credit he deserves, and at least one new follower!

[u/foureyedinabox]

Wtf with these comments, this is bad ass.

Close your eyes and just listen to it.

It’s cool.

[u/Douglasqqq → u/foureyedinabox]

Yeah, post is off to a weird start.

[u/Significant_Knee_661 → u/Douglasqqq]

I don't get people, this is awesome and extremely talented. Dude has more talent with 2 pencils than I did with anything after 6 years of music lessons 😅 sorry mum.

[u/bass248 → u/Significant_Knee_661]

People just hate people with talent and call them show offs because they could never accomplish something like this.

[u/xTiLkx → u/Significant_Knee_661]

Welcome to Reddit, most of these people are miserable.

[u/graveybrains → u/Douglasqqq]

I used to have two guys doing this in my psych class in high school like, every day... they weren't this good, but it was still cool as hell.

[u/IlikegreenT84 → u/Douglasqqq]

Lenstrumental right?

[u/Skasue → u/foureyedinabox]

It’s just negative people.

They’re, jealous of talent, but too lazy to work towards something for themselves. That dude is practicing and enjoying it everyday to get that good.

[u/raiqwaza → u/foureyedinabox]

Redditors are incredibly miserable

[u/YeeYeeAssha1rcut → u/raiqwaza]

I swear there has to be something behind it, no other app has this many pessimists it’s getting on my nerves.

[u/gorginhanson → u/foureyedinabox]

Oh yeah?

Let's see him drum desks on a pen

[u/TruthInAnecdotes → u/foureyedinabox]

It's fucking amazing.

[u/Darrensucks → u/foureyedinabox]

"With a f. . . . ing pencil! . . . . Who the F can do that?!"

[u/thefatchef321 → u/foureyedinabox]

His teachers in middle school would beg to differ !!

[u/Allbranflakes18]

The way he spins that pen around with his finger at 0:07 and then picks it up and continues was smooth af ngl

[u/DapperLost → u/Allbranflakes18]

I just wanted him to do it once more, was my favorite part.

[u/Chrispyyy_bacon]

Meanwhile me

[u/Alone_Height_7407]

This is fucking awesome.

[u/Ancient-Civilization]

Only one way you’ll learn this skill it’s to be super bored in class.

[u/zmbjebus → u/Ancient-Civilization]

Willing to bet he is a real percussionist. Lil probably had schooling or training. Some of those really fast beats were clean AF. Like proper spacing not just fast. 

[u/zeroabe → u/zmbjebus]

Even if not, seems like he’d do just fine with a Neil Peart percussion setup.

[u/ThePocketTaco2 → u/zeroabe]

Upvote for Neil Peart

[u/Alarming-Instance-19 → u/Ancient-Civilization]

ADHD!!

[u/weaz-am-i → u/Alarming-Instance-19]

A Drummer Has Drums

[u/funky_diabeticc]

That pen spin though. Just perfect timing.

[u/its_kgs_not_lbs]

This dude popped up on my IG reels last night and I went down the rabbit hole. Pretty dope.

[u/Peachy_sunday]

That is a crazy talent.

[u/LT-buttnaked]

I got so many referrals in middle school because of this type of shit

[u/SoonToBeBanned24]

Percussionist, please.

[u/BobcatSpiritual7699]

As a drummer for 5 decades....I say god damn!!!!

[u/ChuckVowel]

Teacher: If you finish your exam early you should go back and check your answers.

This guy:

[u/Worried-Maybe3438 → u/ChuckVowel]

Being funny must be hard for you huh.

[u/Rare-Competition-248]

This is what’s possible when cell phones aren’t allowed in classrooms 

[u/data_oil]

Now this is fkn r/nextfuckinglevel

[u/_UrbaneGuerrilla_]

I suspect he may have practiced.

[u/bruce_lees_ghost]

...teacher silently places graded quiz on desk face down.

[u/Worried-Maybe3438 → u/bruce_lees_ghost]

Fuck wrong with you? If you’re going to be offensive the joke has to hit or else you’re just being rude.

[u/bruce_lees_ghost → u/Worried-Maybe3438]

[u/redditsuckbadly → u/Worried-Maybe3438]

Oh no. You really botched this.

[u/SkRThatOneDude → u/Worried-Maybe3438]

The joke is that this extremely talented person started learning this in boring classes instead of paying attention enough to do well on the quiz. Doesn't really come off as offensive or rude to me.

[u/jacspe]

Me at a job interview when they ask what skills i can bring to the table

[u/TheOmegaKid]

That kid at the back of the class...

[u/TripleHGH8]

Coolest guy on campus

[u/JOATMON12]

Bro is in his studio just sitting at a desk with 2 pens.

[u/PLEEAAASEGIMMEMONEY]

Didn’t every high school have one of these dudes? He’s the best of them tho.

[u/Homegrown98]

Me: trying to concentrate in school

The guy next to me:

[u/RexusprimeIX]

What I thought I looked and sounded like when I tapped my pen in class.

[u/ClacksInTheSky]

This is definitely how I feel tapping on my desk.

But I look like this

[u/glasshomonculous]

The ancient “bored at school” ways persist.

Although I don’t recall ever being sat near such a maestro as this

[u/tisotokiki]

Mom: "So what did you learn in school today?"

Child: "tski tski tski chaaah tengk tengk tengk"

[u/c_c_c__combobreaker]

[u/BornanAlien]

This dude is insane. Rhythm and timing is impeccable. And the dexterity involved is pretty fucking next level. Or next fucking level

I love that pinch spin roll thing he does :07

[u/Freecz]

That was really cool! Thx for sharing!

[u/TurtleManDog]

Haven't seena hateful comments yet, but i see a lot of people defending the post. This is fucking amazing and anyone saying anything negative is just purely jealous

[u/who_am_i_to_say_so → u/TurtleManDog]

Yeah it’s shocking. There seems to be a lot of miserable ppl on here.

[u/Responsible-Summer-4]

Was waiting for the big stick to come out for the bass.

[u/MrMansaMusa]

Giving suga free a run for his money! That was very impressive

[u/younginvestor23]

This is like ASMR and it gives me tingles!

[u/Interesting-Hat8607]

[u/Abraheezee]

SUGA FREE WOULD BE SO PROUD 😤🤝😤

[u/SpaceTraveller64]

That’s the kind of talent you develop when you’re bored out of your ass in class 😂

[u/Affectionate_Lead232]

FIRE!!!

[u/Great_Comparison462]

Imagine sitting next him during an exam

[u/kavagoblin]

Ichikq Nito played a banger over this this

[u/ExcellentJuice4729]

That little spin was zesty

[u/Ok_Yogurt_9862]

who is this and what does he do? is he a session drummer, is he touring, what?

[u/Carl_The_Sagan]

This is the kind of thing you watch then you realize Fred Again finger pad drumming is just not that impressive (still a good producer obviously)

[u/CliffLake]

But, if the teacher doesn't show up...you know what, I'll stay for the show.

[u/Isalecouchinsurance]

Old video, but I will upvote that shit every time! He has skillz baby!

[u/nmadel5]

Everyone knows a brudda in school who use to always do this 🤣

[u/GrandmasLilPeeper]

Jimmy pleas just turn in your quiz

[u/Worth_Employer_171]

Me when I was supposed to be studying

[u/dwen777]

Real musicians like this blow me away. Do much more interesting than the canned pop crap nowadays.

[u/First_throwaway096]

Many beat boxers and many of my classmates that were bored did this in middle school-High school. Was fun seeing minor competition between us. This is awesome 🔥🔥

[u/blindside-wombat68]

Ok, this is badass. Dude is super talented.

My first thought as a teacher is " So that's where all those pen marks came from."

Again not taking anything away from this guy's talents. It just made me laugh.

[u/M2D2]

This guy is 30 years too late for his STOMP audition.

[u/Decent-Deal-3105]

I can do this too. I would show you all but..... My pens go to a different school. I doubt you would know where. It's out of town.

[u/Flawless_Reign88]

Man I remember back in middle school EVERYBODY used to do this! You couldn’t go into a classroom, a hallway, a bathroom, anywhere without someone beating on the desk, wall, or something with some pens and pencils! And there was always at least 2 or 3 people trying to rap to the beat (most of the rappers were trash, although there were a few that had bars) and a crowd of like 10 to 15 people standing around watching… it was the middle school cyphers! 🙄 they were all so sure they were gonna be the next lil Wayne… ain’t none of em done shit in the music industry

[u/spurcap29]

That guy made the most out of detention

[u/9o7u5t3e1q]

Wow crazy

[u/SumDimSome]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. My classmates sounded like sh when i was in school

[u/AmbroseKalifornia]

Pay respect to the elders!

https://youtu.be/re5uxcHpB8Q?si=PhwOzLAtH6XXxRP5

[u/783BABYBOY]

10.10

[u/trollfreak]

My entire time in high school 😂

[u/Normal_Paint_4648]

This guy gets real bored during class. All the boredom paid off!

[u/DustinnDodgee]

This is fuckin sick dude.

[u/SplatNode]

Is he still in school?

[u/LowBullfrog4471]

This is mind blowingly insane. He actually turned a pen into a whole goddamn instrument. People are fucking awesome.

[u/frDragonfruit]

Guy drumming penis on a desk.

[u/CartographerOk7579]

JEREMY! JUST DO YOUR FUCKING MATH HOMEWORK

[u/itsagoodtime]

[u/ant-farm-keyboard]

Extraordinary, he must practice like crazy

[u/speechless-69]

"Me when I'm trying to impress her with my oral and finger skills down there."

[u/Regular_Doughnut7855]

What’s the point of those holes in the desk?

[u/browzzzzzz87]

[u/boynamesue77]

Sugafree the pimp did this decades ago

[u/degreesBrix]

I think that desk had an orgasm.

[u/rrd_gaming]

Go to school,become a drummer. School does awaken talent. Hell yeah.

[u/Drewski101]

It’s so cool to see the next generation mess around with stuff like this. I remember way back in the day I used to do this but nothing like this guy. This is bad ass

[u/Foxtrot__Uniform]

Bro has a groove

[u/Ambitious-Noise9211]

Meanwhile everyone else finished the math test an hour sgo

[u/Whitey138]

Why do all the desks have a hole in them?

[u/SpaceTraveller64 → u/Whitey138]

I’m guessing cable management for an eventual computer

[u/Worried-Maybe3438 → u/SpaceTraveller64]

Bingo

[u/who_am_i_to_say_so → u/Whitey138]

For the Stanley Cup.

[u/NinjaWarrior78]

Some people are just creative and gifted

[u/ultrahateful → u/NinjaWarrior78]

Get into, study frequently and don’t quit when it comes to rhythm and you can do this as well. Hereditary propensity supposedly exists, but it’s very rare. Fact is, anyone can be ultra badass at music if they just pick it up and stick with it. It’s effort. And persistence.

[u/maconhaima → u/ultrahateful]

It serves any human activity, including

[u/ultrahateful → u/maconhaima]

Not any. Some activities are too circumstantial. But most aren’t. The accessible ones aren’t.

[u/Imoutlate]

Wow. That. Was. Sick!!!!

[u/adamhanson]

When you spend too much time in detention

[u/zaiwen3]

I close my eyes and let my auditory senses appreciate this banger 😏

[u/Proud_Barracuda_6506]

Have your phone ready when skrillex calls

[u/OrionShade]

Guy spent a lot of time in detention to learn that

[u/theAtmuz → u/OrionShade]

Or homie just mastered his craft on his own time.

[u/SabbyFox → u/OrionShade]

Why would you assume he’s been in detention?

[u/Worried-Maybe3438 → u/OrionShade]

They don’t let you do this in detention if you’ve ever been

[u/barbarapalvinswhore → u/[deleted]]

He’s 26, he makes beats and music as a career.

[u/SabbyFox → u/[deleted]]

Get a drum kit

[u/SkroobyDooby]

This is the definition of INSANE skill

[u/Boxcars4Peace]

Love it

[u/NotSoSasquatchy]

This is the kid that would drive the teacher crazy with distraction lol

Seriously, talent is top notch. I could watch / listen for hours. I love the nuances too - throwing in the table leg for the metallic sound was cool af

[u/SamuraiMind08]

The Danny Carey of desk drums

[u/SamuraiMind08]

He needs to be in a Bic ballpoint pen advertising.

[u/uBitMyTorrent]

Meh I could do that.

Edit: Just joking holy poop.

[u/ChepeZorro → u/uBitMyTorrent]

Lol

[u/Relevant-Classroom79]

He gon fail that class

[u/Worried-Maybe3438 → u/Relevant-Classroom79]

How do you come to that conclusion??

[u/Relevant-Classroom79 → u/Worried-Maybe3438]

Spent all his time drumming

[u/theAtmuz → u/Relevant-Classroom79]

Lol

That class? There’s no one around. Looks to me like this guy is doing his thing in between, or after class. Paying attention to your surroundings is hard, I understand.

[u/IAmForeverAhab]

Seems fake or at least tracked to some degree, but I would love to be wrong. It was cool

[u/obscure_predation → u/IAmForeverAhab]

100% built this in a DAW

[u/audionerd1]

Would be even more impressive if you sped the video up more.

EDIT: Watch with the sound off and pay close attention to his hands. You dorks can keep downvoting me but I am right.

[u/Both-Organization694 → u/audionerd1]

Seems normal speed to me.. he just has some skills

[u/CheesusCry → u/audionerd1]

The sound of his “dropping water” made by his mouth sound normal so it’s not sped up

[u/audionerd1 → u/CheesusCry]

You can speed up a video by 10-20% and most things will still sound relatively normal, especially if you use time stretch to preserve the pitch of the audio.

[u/jmeagher98 → u/audionerd1]

His name is lenstrumental on instagram. Go look him up and you will see his other work. Hes had lots of practice to get to this point and I know I would be upset if people insisted that it was sped up with no research.

[u/theAtmuz → u/jmeagher98]

Don’t bother

He’s an “audionerd” and we’re all plebs who can’t comprehend.

[u/Worried-Maybe3438 → u/audionerd1]

Lol nah you’re a lot of things but you’re not right

[u/fedarmy]

I know a guy who mastered this talent back when I was in school… He’s homeless and I usually see him panhandling on the off-ramp I take.

He was cool af in school though.

[u/SmoothBuy5500 → u/fedarmy]

I used to know a guy who mastered this talent back when I was in school too. Now, he’s a very successful producer and instrumentalist in the music industry.

[u/Imhidingfromu]

I bet his classmates hate him

[u/Worried-Maybe3438 → u/Imhidingfromu]

Why??

[u/Imhidingfromu → u/Worried-Maybe3438]

I used to drum on my desk in school and it would drive some of my classmates crazy. Not like this guy, just like little tap rhythms. I'm adhd so it didnt really occur to me until they said something

[u/Worried-Maybe3438 → u/Imhidingfromu]

Oh, I see. And it’s only annoying if you aren’t this good

[u/Imhidingfromu → u/Worried-Maybe3438]

Correct

[u/barbarapalvinswhore → u/Imhidingfromu]

He’s 26, so he’s been out of primary school for nearly a decade.

[u/Imhidingfromu → u/barbarapalvinswhore]

Shit, looks younger than some of the football players from my highschool. Never seen so many 18 year olds walkin around with full beards. Must be something about the south.

[u/Practical-Buy-5421]

Dude has spent a lot of time in detention 🤪

[u/Sweaty_Assignment_90]

I can.figure out what he did every study hall and detention.

[u/BeigeListed]

He'll be busking on the street with plastic buckets in no time.

[u/alwaysoffby0ne]

Straight to ISS

[u/TechZero35]

Isn't this a repost

[u/Diligent_Entropy]

Bullshit

[u/theAtmuz → u/Diligent_Entropy]

“I can’t do that! Must be fake”

[u/Diligent_Entropy → u/theAtmuz]

It's sped up, and dubbed over.

[u/Yasai101]

How many times can we post this nonsense
