Though its animated by a comic book artist and not an actual drummer so I don't blame him for not having it a 100% perfect. Especially since the focus is to make it visually cool and not accurate. And they still have a live band with performances
tbh, i think the fact the drums, nor any of the instruments being accurate makes it more visually appealing. it really gives off the whole "old cartoon network show" vibe. especially phase 1, that is
@@BandannaWonder ... what? I just said I agree with your suggestion to do that song in particular. I second that opinion. Sorry for agreeing with you, I guess?
@@McBehrer ah. My apologies. I thought you were doing that thing where people say “first” on posts, and I thought you just said seccond for some reason. My apologies, have a great day.
Just a thought, whenever any drum isn't shown on screen, I think you should give the benefit of the doubt and assume that what's not shown is exactly what was originally played. For the Regular Show clip in particular, you'd be able to see the extreme difference between the furious playing that is happening in the original and the simple version that's being animated.
I don't know man, seems like generic repetitive hammer-on-pull-off licks ending in a different bend each time I'm not saying it sounds easy, i've only been playing 2 years so i probably couldn't play it that well, but as a musical composition it isn't very interesting
It's a bit of a cheat for the CGI stuff, because they can just use direct mocap when it's convenient. (They don't have to B.S. it or guess, it's copy-pasta of somebody playing the real thing.) However Zombieland Saga is still S-tier when it comes to music anime in general, and the overall story is fun too - not just the music.
mocap doesn't quite have the magic 'it just works' that most people think it does. Even if it's mocapped it still likely needed to be vetted for buggy movement and other jank, and it won't work properly if the model isn't properly rigged and matched to the motion capture. It's a bit of a different skill than if it was hand-drawn to that level of accuracy, but there's still a lot of skill involved and they easily could have 'fudged it'- for an example, look at the infamous moment in Frozen during "Let It Go" where Elsa's arm phases straight through her ponytail.
Yeah any musical sequences were about 10000 times smoother in animation it’s was jarring, but it was also a nice touch that they put a lot of effort into those scenes
It's a bit of a cheat having severe enough of a lead poisoning, to not consider animation is mostly done for the effect and literally NOTHING is accurate, characters don't breathe, superman has impossible volumetric strength, etc. Takes a musician to have this much of fart huffing contest on the ONE thing you actually are willing to focus on. With any other thing the studios would just play the music like crap and PRETEND it sounds good for the benefit of the plot, if it was dealt with the same disregard as anything but the music.
From what i heard on the gorillas part is that they animated rustle to play like that because it was physically more appealing than what he was actually playing
I mean, that's basically almost 50% of the reason why some animation don't animate the instrument correctly. It's much more visually appealing. The rest is most likely because they don't have enough time or budget to put the effort and detail
Hey, I know these aren't really "animated", and they did the best they could with puppets, but you should review some songs Animal played with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem from The Muppet Show.
Where no one has copyright claimed these cartoons, I sure the Muppet show would definitely copyright claim any video showing clips from The Muppet Show
I was assuming that the kid that animated that drumline in high school represented their pep band or whatever with great skill, given the professionalism in the music itself. Then the Reveal happened
So glad you are continuing this series ... Gotta keep the bucks rolling in so you can buy more equipment and costumes! Gotta get the Classics series going, too, to get a new group of subscribers to get to be the #1 EMC TH-cam channel.
honestly the way the girl in zls moves i wouldnt be surprised if it was touched up mocap, which is what makes it so accurate, which would honestly be a really good and clever way of doing it
i love how gorillaz being a famous animated band his animators can’t animate drums properly but you being 18 with no animation experience and animating with microsoft paint you can animate drums properly.
@@brandonbrandon2822 it wasnt animated by a drummer. It was animated by an animator. The point of the animations isn't to portray realistic instrumentation, if thats what you think the point was then you are lost. The point was to create a story, and they did that.
Adventure Time has a good amount of drumming scenes, most of them featuring the Ice King but what made me think of Adventure time specifically is a drumming rock giant from the Episode Five more Short Graybles. Season 5 Episode 3. Love the series by the way!
The Zombie Land Saga was probably a professional drummer in mo-cap. Anime does that a lot, especially with music. If you see a 2d show with sudden cg with very realistic movements you can safely assume that's the case.
You can definitely see which animations were rotoscoped to achieve a perfect effect. Rotoscoping is where you (as an animator) would video a studio drummer - preferrably with the same gender, age & build of your character - playing your music to the standard that you want, then digitally set the keyframes to match. It's not particularly difficult to do with modern animation software - especially if the animation is being done in a 3D renderer, so I can't really see any technical reason not to do this. Apart, perhaps, from budget/scheduling issues, but if you're trying to do amazing work, you need to suck it up & do it the best way possible...
Oh my god I know that first one! That’s supposed to be Neil Peart’s famous drum spectacular (I don’t know if it has a proper name) Funny thing about Zombieland Saga…if you haven’t seen the show: the drummer, Tae Yamada, is actually a feral zombie with about the intellect of a newborn puppy (at least in the first season haven’t seen the 2nd). Great show though
I hope you check out Ritsu's drumming from the anime K-On! I feel that the animators did an exceptional job with showing how the drums were actually played during the opening songs. I personally recommend the opener to season 2 "Go Go Maniac"
K-On does another lazy thing: instead of animating instruments poorly, they choose to avoid showing that much playing, both in story (I mean, girls drinking tea with sweets instead of practicing IS the point), but also during music videos it often picks and chooses angles to save on budget lol. Ritsu is my fav of them tho.
For Zombie Land Saga, I'm pretty sure it's mo-cap'd, which explains why it's so accurate. What I wonder is if they motion-captured and got the audio in separate takes, or someone mocap'd while recording the solo.
This was the first video I saw and from the title I immediately thought "hope he watches Kids on the Slope", then I see you have it on your tier list already. It's pinnacle musician animation for me
The Gorillaz video I saw for the very first time while stationed in Camp Lejeune. I was in the arcade in the Jacksonville Mall and it came on and couldn't stop watching. (2001)
You should watch Haruhi Suzumiya and K-On for a later episode. Kyoani went outta their way to make the animation true to how the instruments are really played in both shows. In the former, it's only in one episode, and in the latter they cheat by having it off screen much of the time since animating all that is insanely hard, but when they do it for realsies you can tell. I heard they also do it in Dragon Maid, but I haven't seen that one so idk.
@@SpringdayAutumnmoon i just rewatched the concert scene and he wont get much out of the drums, theres some there but most of the scene focuses on the guitar and bass player. id like to think they put a effort into making all of it accurate with as big of a deal that scene was and how the band portrayed in the anime is a real band called Girls Dead Monster

A really important part of growing out your beard is to trim it so it looks clean, also yours looks pretty curly (like mine) beard oil and beard balm is a must have👍
Kind of like with cooking in anime. Specifically, slicing a cabbage. One anime in the mid 00's had some highly suspect cabbage. It looked like the character was slicing a featureless green ball. This particular part got panned hard by viewers and production executives. So hard that animes ever since have made sure to make cabbages of decent to great quality even if the show did not focus on cooking.
Here are some other examples of drumming animations that can be reviewed: • Cubone drumming (Pokémon anime). It uses trash cans and oil drums instead of things made specifically to be drums. • NBC animation for The Beatles movie (I believe I can guess its tier already)
Just passing through TH-cam's suggested videos. One that comes to mind is in Arthur, Francine practicing her drums and singing for a talent show on top of her apartment building. Episode: To Beat or Not to Beat, second half.
I would like to request that you transcribe the “letter of the day” drum line part from Sesame Street. The newest iteration has a full drum line backing track and it sounds pretty cool. Probably would make a good video for you and I’m too lazy to do it.
Seems to me like the animations for Zombie Land Saga and Fortnight might have been rotoscoped or otherwise copied directly from actual performers on drums, hence why they were so clearly accurate.
I just found your channel a few weeks ago with the video of Bart Simpson drumming. This is such a cool new niche, you carved out for yourself! You got yourself a sub from me!
Well, I stuck around til the end, so it wouldn't make sense saying 'you had me at...', but I do appreciate the brave little toaster in the outro. Watched that like a hundred times as a kid, with my nieces and nephews, brother and sisters, at my grandmother's house. Even though several scenes actually were scary.
Would’ve probably been more realistic if you dropped a cymbal on the ground to get the right sound at 5:07 probably not a good thing for the cymbal but we’ve all been there haha thanks for making these videos man they’ve always bothered me when I see these in cartoons
I used to play the bells (glockenspiel)/xylophone and love "Banjo-Kazooie"... and I remember watching this intro for the first time and my soul dying a little... because I also play alto sax. T-T
It's really not about them not being capable to animate it right but about money, time and effort. Animation is extremely difficult and just reusing a frame is a lot more efficient. So you reusing 3 frames without in-betweeners isn't the same as a full fledged animation
Mumbo was probably playing the Zimbabwe marimba in which all the accidentals are on the same line as the normal notes, but he probably still wasn't doing very good job anyways.
I'd argue that Mumbo is magical, and these instruments were summoned via his magic. So he can probably make them sound however he pleases no matter how he actually plays them.
You should check out the Batmetal trilogy. You would have to isolate the audio probably for copyright but still awesome videos. Even if you aren't checking what's actually being played the videos are crazy.
yeah but there is no point in doing that for 2 reasons, first, nobody really cares, it doesn't change much. Secondly, it would take a while if they don't know the notes for only one scene.
Yeah but is it really worth a whole hour or two for a small scene that’s accuracy will go unnoticed to 99.9999% of your audience though. The extra work is only done if it really pays off, and no show is in the wrong for not doing it, the point of the show isn’t to drum accurately, and it doesn’t really take from the given episode
13:21 it's a 3d model with the motions being preformed by the person who was playing the song, even her head nods were exactly what I'd expect from a real drummer Yes, it clearly shows that it's done with a 3d model, but considering that the entire scene was made around those drums, it does what it needs to do
If you want to do more video game drums, check out Project Sekai, look up Leo/need and the songs "Time Machine", "Lost Ones Weeping", "Ray" and "needLe".
Mocapping 3D for band sequences in anime is becoming remarkably common for higher budget productions. "Standing By You" from Azur Lane looks absolutely phenomenal, and its a standalone music video so the focus is much more concentrated than in a full TV show like Zombieland Saga. One thing even the most regular entries do (such as "BanG! Dream") that I'm not too fond of, and you'll see it in Tae's drum solo in Zombieland Saga too, is the blur when a stick gets whipped towards a cymbal. TV anime is all about getting as close to ideal in the least amount of time possible; the blur conveys the weight of the impact and the speed of the movement and the flick of the wrist and its far easier to animate than anything that would get them closer, but its really distracting and kind of flat. Band scenes have come a long way since the days of rotoscoping, and even a long way since mocap dance scenes just eight years ago, but we're still a ways off of a drum sequence looking and feeling real as well as hitting every note correctly. I think if you got the best in one room and gave them enough time, it'd happen, but who the fuck is sparing that much talent and that much time on a drum scene? Not the anime industry, that's for sure - both of those resources are spread thin enough as it is.
I feel like The W.W.A.P. treatment is his version of Stevie T’s version of: I.T.W.P.I. W.W.A.P. = What Was Actually Played. I.T.W.P.I. = If They Were Plugged In.
Idk why but I'm obsessed. Like i never finish these videos bc i don't understand music and the theories and other stuff behind it. But this is also entertaining enough for me, a music dumbass, to find enjoyment haha and I don't feel like I'm in school
I walked into a bar in Nashville and a cover band was playing. I don't know who they were but they were doing metal covers of popular country songs. Their drummer was a petite girl, couldn't have been older than 20, and must have weighed 90 lbs soaking wet. She was either Asian or half-asian... This little girl proceeded to tear those drums up like wrapping paper on Christmas. To this day, best live drummer I've ever seen, and I don't even know the name of her band.
Its a short suggestion, but do one from Apex Legends: the character Lifeline has a skydive emote called "Bringin' the beat down". Everytime someone uses it the drummer in me cringes.
I also used to wake up extra early and put MTV on the whole time I was getting ready for school, hoping the Clint Eastwood music video would come on. I'd seen it by accident one morning while flipping through channels. One of the first things I did with a high-speed home internet connection was download the video from Limewire.

Props to whoever recorded that Zombie Land one, the drum solo itself was sick!
ZLS is legit, the rap portions go crazy.
That last clip, and I imagine the Fortnite emote as well, was likely mocapped for accuracy. 3D animation means using actual drummers is very possible.
Yep, they were probably animated tracking the motion of a real drummer. Comparing that to 2D animation is unfair at least
You should do a video doing the "what was actually played" with 80s and 90s TV shows that overdubbed live performances of bands, like Top of the Pops.

3:36… So you’re saying that since they have 4 fingers they can’t have good technique 😥
Man needs to do any episode from the CN original "Class of 3000"
4:27 FBI open up!
Lol
0:35 me seeing the brave little toaster litterally had me shook (i am obsessed with that movie)
OMG THANKS FOR THE NAME OF THE MOVIE I WATCHED IT WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND FORGOT THE NAME
@@DumbShortsYT ur welcome!

You should check out the Batmetal trilogy. You would have to isolate the audio probably for copyright but still awesome videos. Even if you aren't checking what's actually being played the videos are crazy.
Gorillaz has actually improved and made their instruments more accurate
The dichotomy of the active duty haircut with the anime connoisseur neckbeard is palpable
You should do K-on
He should
I love this series it must be challenging to be an animator alone. Perfect sync to music is tough!
So it turns out that drums ARE animated correctly most of the times - just look how many S-tiers he's got! Nice!
5 out of 16 is not most.
@@OntarioTrafficMan but it's obviously not NEVER either
@@golllaur No that is true
So this is the man responsible for the trend destroying my algorithm
Thanks I love it
It’s not that hard for the cartoon editors to animate it the right way. It’s only an extra hour or two
yeah but there is no point in doing that for 2 reasons, first, nobody really cares, it doesn't change much. Secondly, it would take a while if they don't know the notes for only one scene.
Yeah but is it really worth a whole hour or two for a small scene that’s accuracy will go unnoticed to 99.9999% of your audience though. The extra work is only done if it really pays off, and no show is in the wrong for not doing it, the point of the show isn’t to drum accurately, and it doesn’t really take from the given episode
@@samglover4923 well if anime animators who are payed pennies compared to western animators care enough to do it
The west has no excuse
13:21 it's a 3d model with the motions being preformed by the person who was playing the song, even her head nods were exactly what I'd expect from a real drummer
Yes, it clearly shows that it's done with a 3d model, but considering that the entire scene was made around those drums, it does what it needs to do
7:08 u could used VHS, thats what most kids used to record their fave tv
If you want to do more video game drums, check out Project Sekai, look up Leo/need and the songs "Time Machine", "Lost Ones Weeping", "Ray" and "needLe".
What i think mumbo was playing was a children's xylophone which explains the reason why it has no accidentals
I'm loving this series!
Mocapping 3D for band sequences in anime is becoming remarkably common for higher budget productions. "Standing By You" from Azur Lane looks absolutely phenomenal, and its a standalone music video so the focus is much more concentrated than in a full TV show like Zombieland Saga.
One thing even the most regular entries do (such as "BanG! Dream") that I'm not too fond of, and you'll see it in Tae's drum solo in Zombieland Saga too, is the blur when a stick gets whipped towards a cymbal. TV anime is all about getting as close to ideal in the least amount of time possible; the blur conveys the weight of the impact and the speed of the movement and the flick of the wrist and its far easier to animate than anything that would get them closer, but its really distracting and kind of flat.
Band scenes have come a long way since the days of rotoscoping, and even a long way since mocap dance scenes just eight years ago, but we're still a ways off of a drum sequence looking and feeling real as well as hitting every note correctly. I think if you got the best in one room and gave them enough time, it'd happen, but who the fuck is sparing that much talent and that much time on a drum scene? Not the anime industry, that's for sure - both of those resources are spread thin enough as it is.
Really recommend you watch Beck: Mongolian chop squad, the drums there are animated correctly and sounds great
I remember Mtv. Back in 2009 and 2010. The Beatles Yellow Submarine would be playing its tv show.
You should definitely try looking at a clip of Ritsu drumming from K-On
Oh man, I was the same with Feel Good Inc. Loved the music video before TH-cam XD
I feel like The W.W.A.P. treatment is his version of Stevie T’s version of: I.T.W.P.I.
W.W.A.P. = What Was Actually Played.
I.T.W.P.I. = If They Were Plugged In.
Idk why but I'm obsessed. Like i never finish these videos bc i don't understand music and the theories and other stuff behind it. But this is also entertaining enough for me, a music dumbass, to find enjoyment haha and I don't feel like I'm in school
If you're going with video games, another good source is DK 64, both the intro and the use of the percussion weapons in game.
"But I'm awesome, I'm the best in the world" we love to see a humble king
The adventure show one is just every single person walking through a percussion section
I walked into a bar in Nashville and a cover band was playing. I don't know who they were but they were doing metal covers of popular country songs. Their drummer was a petite girl, couldn't have been older than 20, and must have weighed 90 lbs soaking wet. She was either Asian or half-asian... This little girl proceeded to tear those drums up like wrapping paper on Christmas. To this day, best live drummer I've ever seen, and I don't even know the name of her band.
Its a short suggestion, but do one from Apex Legends: the character Lifeline has a skydive emote called "Bringin' the beat down". Everytime someone uses it the drummer in me cringes.
When he said subscribe the subscription button light up 😳
i know i should be over it by now but i just cant stop vibing to that intro/outro kadence
Coming back to this, the absolute best animated drumming I've seen has been from Bluey lmao.
I also used to wake up extra early and put MTV on the whole time I was getting ready for school, hoping the Clint Eastwood music video would come on. I'd seen it by accident one morning while flipping through channels. One of the first things I did with a high-speed home internet connection was download the video from Limewire.
