I love how these guys look for empty buildings for acoustics. Henning and Clemmens reminded me of kids going through a tunnel. They really enjoyed themselves.
We always used handkerchiefs for muffling sounds when playing outside, it gives the drum a softer sound. AMK is known for their street playing, they are such an amazing band. Absolutely love them. Henning’s voice is legend.
Hi Alicia, that was my assessment to in the handkerchief. Anything touching thr head is going to muffle the sound a bit. These guys are amazing for sure. I’m loving their stuff.
With all the bullshit and copycats that are promoted this days and pollute the music is good to know that we still have amazing talents out there that play for fun and for the love of pure music .And that guy voice is one in a generation .I am sure he’s voice will be kept in time .
They've been playing on the streets of cologne like 10 years ago where I first saw them. Few years after I bought their first album. It's still one of my favorite ones that I own. Such a great band.
i can’t tell u how many times i listend to this cover… i get goosebumps every time. the whole vibe a the way they sound together, i can’t describe it but i’m so in love with that cover.
I have seen AMK live a few times and I can tell you, they are a great band and their singer's voice is even more powerful in real life. It is truly a gift and he has done many collaborations because people are just amazed by his singing.
I am anazed too. The collars are excellent ideas. So cool you’ve seen them live. I hit them up for an interview but I haven’t heard back yet. Lots of people have questions.
I’m so glad you reacted to this! A couple more you might want to check out is ‘Sometimes I like to lie’ and Hennings cover of the Neil Young song ‘The needle and the damage done’. They also have heaps of original songs which are great too.
Please react to some of AnnenMayKantereits original songs! They have a handful of songs sung in English (my favourite being ‘James’ specifically the live version) but the German ones are sooo good too. If you listen to those please look up the lyric translation though because AMK often have very meaningful lyrics
Thanks for the Toms Diner- outstanding!! Freds’ reaction to Henning May initial vocal is priceless- awesome video moment! And then carrying to next room- continuing the rhythm- simply stunning!!!
3:21 you nailed it. I think I read somewhere, that was the reason to record that song just there. They didn't need effects or editing for that song. Thats why they look so happy too. Because their plan work out
Annenmaykantereit have some amazing songs in their native language german :D The lyrics are great as well, but since they shine through the overall music arrangement, its not even a must to understand them :D There are translations though. I think you are one of the first foreign guys that react to them. Best regards from Bayreuth, germany
I'm going to be brutally honest I'm not one who likes bands doing other songs however these gentlemen took a classic that I grew up with and smashed it I would actually pay for this version I have a 9000 watt stereo system at home and I cannot wait to play this version through it so kudos to these gentlemen
So glad you enjoyed this one. I thought the original Police version was awesome but this cover is totally unique and amazing. Man I would love to hear your system that sounds awesome!
I came across Tom's diner and ended up listening to hours of Henning May after that. Milky Chance has lots of other cool songs I like as well, he's got an amazing voice and nice vibe.
if you look at the sticks used on the snare combined with the cloth on the head both combine to make a more muted and crisp sound that accentuates the echo and other sounds in this cover, great attention to small things in this whole piece
It specifically muffles the sharpness of the sticks striking the snare. It rounds out and softens the sound to blend better. They make mats that do similar.
Those bands are great. The song is too. But thank you for your work here too! Calm, precisely and well explained what you see and hear. Really cool reaction video (like the other two that I‘ve seen from you about annenmaykantereit)
Great reaction and review! You know, I must thank you. A few months ago, your short for your reaction to Tom’s Diner was my introduction to AnnenMayKantereit. I have been loving their music ever since!
I think the handkerchief is to kind of contain the drum sound, but at the same time, get a different sound but still a drum if i make sense, and yeah, they are AMAZING !!
5he handkerchief is there to slightly dull the sound and to prevent the snare from reverberating as much. my dad was a drummer in a band that played in Dallas a lot back from 2011-2016, and he used these things he called "jellies" that did the same thing when he'd play certain songs for his shows. I was his roadie 🤷♀️
besides AnnenMayKantereits own exceptional compositions I also love cover versions like "Dream a Little Dream of Me" or "Hand in Hand" from the German band Beatsteaks or not to forget "Bang Bang" - to name but a few - check the snippet "I´d rather go blind" by Henning May, it´s amazing . The German Duo Milky Chance is also a class of its own and internationally well known.
This set is from beginnings of Annenmaykantereit. Milka Chance was a bit better known back then. Back than annenmaykantereit were street musicians.and now they do concerts and have their own tour. Very cool.
Just found your channel awesome content thank you I love finding new music. I use to play drums myself but had to stop a few years ago. I love Milky Chance and thanks to you I found the Giant Rooks Toms Diner review. Looking forward to more of your videos.
I think the drummer is using the handkerchief on the snare drum to remove the snap, which would certainly echo very sharply. definitely a muffle and a much softer beat.
When you look closely you can see that Malte (Guy with the blond hair) plays an acoustic Bass not a guitar So you are right he is playing the bass sounds
He told her she didn't need to turn on the lights, but he finally clapped his hands to encourage her to turn on the lights. It is interesting that it seems to represent the two feelings of the man.
I found you, watching the Tom's Diner cover and thought, boy you should listen Roxanne cover and there we go! What I like in their videos is, that you not only hear the fun, but see it as well. And what makes them great guys on top, that they collaborate with almost everybody just for fun, enjoying to play with others. And what you already got with Tom's Diner cover, they don't just let join some less know musicians, but get onto a whole new level together!
Thank you for reacting to their awesome cover. I'm not a fan of AnnenMayKantereit's original songs, but they have loads of great covers on TH-cam. Just a small info: you're pronouncing their name pretty well for the most part, but in German the letter combination "ei" is pronounced like "i" is in English.
Just subbed to your channel after watching your reaction to Tom's Diner & listening to the great cover. Love your love of the music & your deconstruction of the sounds. This was a great vid, great cover, great harmonica, clapping, percussion. Wasn't that bandana on a djembe drum? It looked like it to me; I've played the djembe but w/out a bandana & it rather looked that shape. Keep up the great work, content, analysis, & bringing us enjoyment!🎶
Thanks for this reaction! This has already been suggested but I also highly recommend the song „Farbfilm“ covered by Annemeikantereit. It’s all in German but it is so fun to watch!!!
Henning May is right. I love their cover of the German iconic song Farbfilm. By Nina Hagen who performed very different versions of it over the decades since 1970 something. Annenmaykantereit does it with yet another German band.
8:00 looking at the fact, that the right "guitar" only has 4 strings (you can see it at the head of the guitar) I would say its actually an acoustic bass
I really like AMK they enjoy what they're doing HM is absolutely adorable his smile is contagious. Also have watched the German concerts wosh I knew what the lyrics are tho...
I literally just came over here from watching your review of the diner cover so I could link this song to your page because I've been following this band 4 like a year now and this was actually the first cover I listen to from them and I am in love with this voice when I first came across this video I don't even know how many times I played repeat like over and over and over and over and I just listened to more and more of their covers and I have the biggest like girl crush on this guy. I don't even know what his name is or where he's from but goddamn that voice I cannot get enough of it!
just a heads up: AnnenMayKantereit is a combination of the last names of the band members. "Annen" - the German "a" is more like the "a" in bar, car, ... "May" - same as before. This actually sounds like the English "my" "Kantereit" - again, the "a" in your pronunciation is off. Also the last part "reit" is pronounced like "rite". "ei" in German is "i" sound in English
Hi, Bob! I love the very old songs from the police. This was music of my childhood. But this guy....I just notice, that you could hear it all day! Wow!
You may want to check out "Hurra die Welt geht unter" from K.I.Z ft. Henning May. The official version is on the K.I.Z channel and an acoustic version is on the AMK channel. The song is in german and also rap.
Just adding real quick to your comment at minute 7:40: the "right guy" is having a acoustic bass. So you're right, he is playing the bass notes, but not on a acoustic guitar, but on a acoustic bass.
If you haven't already, watch their cover of Can't get you out of my head. As for Roxanne, I've listened to it on 10 different occasions, discovering something new like the 2 distinctive clapping patterns. It was interesting when you pointed out the guitar players towards the end. I will listen again for that.
I Love this and I dig Milky Chance's Clemens Rehbein's music but he really ripped a pigs ear off at 5;43 and his expression a second later just before AMK flows back in was priceless 😆
The handkerchief deadens the reverb response of the snare wires. So you’re right. It lets the drummer have the snare effect without overpowering the sound. A good drummer plays whilst hearing the band. Particularly taking the lead from the bass. In this case a full snare would have been too much for the blues harp. It’s awesome
I love seeing young people putting their own twist on music, breathing new life into it.
I totally agree.
I love how these guys look for empty buildings for acoustics. Henning and Clemmens reminded me of kids going through a tunnel. They really enjoyed themselves.
Yes I loved how they used this space for acoustic purposes too. It really sounded awesome.
*Clemens. :)
@marinaridley4187 @bobcislinski the building is called "Salzmannfarbik" known for the legendary Stammheim Techno Club in the 90s and early 2000s
I remember the first time hearing their song "Barfuß am Klavier" and sobbing through all of it.
I'll have to look for that one. Thnx for the suggestion!
The best is Hennings smile while singing👍🏽
My favorite part is when Henning sings “I won’t share you with another boy” & the harmonica is so great ❤❤❤
I was unaware that this song could be elevated even 1mm, however...they open their mouths and magic comes out! gah!!!
For sure Monique.
Those voices… those tight instruments… the creativity… WOW!!!
I know they are incredible Casey!

Hi Alicia, that was my assessment to in the handkerchief. Anything touching thr head is going to muffle the sound a bit. These guys are amazing for sure. I’m loving their stuff.
One of the best acoustic songs I ever heard. How their voices disappear and how you want to hear them again. As well the band. Absolutely great
With all the bullshit and copycats that are promoted this days and pollute the music is good to know that we still have amazing talents out there that play for fun and for the love of pure music .And that guy voice is one in a generation .I am sure he’s voice will be kept in time .
Well said.
@@bobcieslinski
It's so true. The joy & passion they have for the music & making it their own is fantastic. I was wowed & smiling the whole time.
They've been playing on the streets of cologne like 10 years ago where I first saw them. Few years after I bought their first album. It's still one of my favorite ones that I own. Such a great band.

Sure does great observation.

@@Lecter2024 sweet
They brought the song out of the studio (Police version) and placed it right into the streets. A great choice
Yep
I freaking love that harmonica solo!!
I came across Tom's diner and ended up listening to hours of Henning May after that. Milky Chance has lots of other cool songs I like as well, he's got an amazing voice and nice vibe.
Me too. I rabbit holed Henning May for an entire weekend. Lol 😍
That's actually an Acoustic Bass Guitar! An amazing sound for a great song
Absolutely loved this the first time I heard it.
It is so good. I loved it.
I love the use of the echo from the empty building
I've never heard this cover, but this one is pretty amazing! Thank you for your hint, Bob.
No problem. Glad you enjoyed it.
Henning May’s voice gives me chills every damn time!
if you look at the sticks used on the snare combined with the cloth on the head both combine to make a more muted and crisp sound that accentuates the echo and other sounds in this cover, great attention to small things in this whole piece
Thanks Dude!
It specifically muffles the sharpness of the sticks striking the snare. It rounds out and softens the sound to blend better. They make mats that do similar.
Milky Chance and Annemaikantereit . I Love them. Endlich Mal gute deutsche die langsam die Welt erreichen . Thanks guys
You've introduced me to this awesome music. Thank you for that. It's incredible stuff.
Thanks Jamila!
Those bands are great. The song is too. But thank you for your work here too! Calm, precisely and well explained what you see and hear. Really cool reaction video (like the other two that I‘ve seen from you about annenmaykantereit)
This band is amazing. I love every song I hear of theirs. One of the songs I suggest is I Can't Get You Out Of My Head.
Great reaction and review! You know, I must thank you. A few months ago, your short for your reaction to Tom’s Diner was my introduction to AnnenMayKantereit. I have been loving their music ever since!

Hi Aurora! Yep that was my thought too. Thanks!

They sure are Kara!

@@bobcieslinski I really am obsessed by this guy's voice
I was wondering if you ever reacted to the cure if not see what you think of a forest by them
@@karangooch1274 do you mean the 80’s alternative band?
Yes I think that what they are classified as though I always thought they were goth
They are still going strong to this day
I love this so much! Sounds so good!
Their song Sometimes I Like to Lie is groovy too they play it like acoustic in the woods
Most impressive... one take like so many AMK songs!
Nothing cut, nothing added, nothing edited... just pure talent!
The are all Brilliant! So clean and natural! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hey thanks Miles! Glad you are enjoying the channel. Nice to have you here in the community.
Here you go! Happy that you reacted to this stunning song. Thank you. 😊
Wow both of them are incredible 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Annen, May und Kantereit are the family names of the three founders of the band, they just did put the three surnames together.
Love everything you are pointing out here...helps me appreciate them even more.
Thanks so much!
I think the drummer is using the handkerchief on the snare drum to remove the snap, which would certainly echo very sharply. definitely a muffle and a much softer beat.
BEST COVER EVER, well played doing this one! Thanks
Nice comment!!! AMK is a very popular indi band in Germany.
Thanks! I love them. Both videos I did were awesome!
@Stimmt Echtnicht
Das stimmt!

@Thats not true
Thats right!
nah that drummer reppin his set LOL

I love their voices! I love the acoustic guitar too! I’m getting a little echo which I enjoy.
If u look closely to the blonde guy he is playing acoustic bass actually. U can notice the 4 strings on there. Really fun instrument to play.
Annenmaykantereit and Milky Chance have been two of my favorite bands since 2015 :D

So amazing Singer Combo

Sounds interesting. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
Using the echo from the room behind by standing there is quite genius..
It sure was.
Wow those guys are so sick!! Im impressed!! What a f***cking unique to do things!!
Glad you enjoyed it! I’m releasing a new one of theirs today.
8:00 looking at the fact, that the right "guitar" only has 4 strings (you can see it at the head of the guitar) I would say its actually an acoustic bass
Yep I saw that after I recorded it.
dude on the right has an acoustic bass, not a second acoustic guitar
Yep I saw it after I watched it the first time.
I really like AMK they enjoy what they're doing HM is absolutely adorable his smile is contagious. Also have watched the German concerts wosh I knew what the lyrics are tho...
The guy is playing an acoustic bass. Count the tuning knobs
Yep I realized it as soon as I turned it off. Lol
I literally just came over here from watching your review of the diner cover so I could link this song to your page because I've been following this band 4 like a year now and this was actually the first cover I listen to from them and I am in love with this voice when I first came across this video I don't even know how many times I played repeat like over and over and over and over and I just listened to more and more of their covers and I have the biggest like girl crush on this guy.

"Annen" - the German "a" is more like the "a" in bar, car, ...

Still: In Love with them since 2010 😇🫶🏻
The acoustic guitar reminds me to London calling from the clash
I can see that. Great observation.
Hi, Bob! I love the very old songs from the police. This was music of my childhood. But this guy....I just notice, that you could hear it all day! Wow!
You are right Micky. Great music and singing.
im no expert, but isn't that an acoustic bass guitar the blonde guy plays in the shot at the end?
Yes it is. Most people would not see that but you are correct. The guitar has 4 strings not 6. Nice eye!!!
The handkerchief muffles the tinny sound of the snare. Rounds it out. My brother, a studio musician uses the technique quite a bit.
I thought so thanks.
About two guitarists.
8:34 look, the light one one is the bass.
No matter, their's he best

AMK is so talented… I’ve seen milky chance and giant rooks in concert, I wonder if AMK will ever tour the America’s
Wow that’s pretty cool seeing them. Yes so cool if they came.
you should definitely check out AMK's cover of Valerie with Findlay, if you haven't yet, it's GORGEOUS.
If you haven't already, watch their cover of Can't get you out of my head. As for Roxanne, I've listened to it on 10 different occasions, discovering something new like the 2 distinctive clapping patterns. It was interesting when you pointed out the guitar players towards the end. I will listen again for that.
Hey wink check it out on my channel. I’ve done that song. These guys are awesome!
Love Milky Chance, you should check out some of their stuff, Stolen Dance.
I Love this and I dig Milky Chance's Clemens Rehbein's music but he really ripped a pigs ear off at 5;43 and his expression a second later just before AMK flows back in was priceless 😆
