I have played baritone saxophone, and it takes an incredible amount of air to play. As you might imagine, with that much brass, it is also very heavy. Even with a neckstrap, to be able to dance like he does with it is amazing. Altissimo notes are not easy to hit on it either. Impressive musicianship.
This guy just blew the roof off Royal Albert Hall in London; he was a guest artist in the 53rd Proms concert which was a tribute to Charlie Mingus. He brought the house down. The audience couldn't believe what they were seeing and hearing. He was fabulous! One of the best Proms ever.
everything is in complex - the way he looks, the way he performs^ the way he dances and probably the backstage also... Just awesome! thank you for this video!
+jack mayhoff that is one heck of a challenge. I do not think that it is physically possible unless a person is both deaf and blind. These guys are awesome.
Your band teacher knows what proper shedding looks like: "Gather 'round music poddlings! Witness the lazer precision aural decimating sound machine!!! Nwhahaha!"
+VinnyInTheLab not true, you'll find most wood wing or brass players can't do that at all, I certainly can't and I dot. Know any one who can, we all just learn to breath very fast between notes
And a Baritone Sax at that, the classic sax you think of when picturing jazz groups or something is an Alto Sax, but the Sax he has is of a lower set of octaves called the Baritone Sax.
but I hate the way he is standing, it hurts me too just by looking, that must be a great stress for back They both must be really fit and with VERY strong muscles Both are just great :D
Big fan of these guys! I started alto sax @ a year ago, & Leo just nails it, but the drummer, Damn! They aren’t playing a set list, they’re riffing off each other. That’s the beauty of live music. The only real comparison is live theatre. It’s happening in front of you, & will never be the same again. Immediate. I await more... & thank you.
+Franco Bowden hey friend, im a saxophonist at the conservatory and i think it isnt a glis because in a gliss you use the mouth for make short intervals
God damn I couldn't imagine playing a bari sax like that standing up let alone while dancing around. The air alone that that takes make me go "NOPE" let alone that fucking chromatic scale at the end with the 30 second notes. I can barely double tongue on my french horn let alone triple tongue like that.
Adrian Mayer You must become one with the snake-tongue technique. I play bari, I would know lol, you have to keep your tongue really close to the Reed and learn how to move it fast enough. And oncs you get used to the bari the air required is no problem lol.
Heard these guys for the 1st time playing this song a couple weeks ago when I took my 2 daughters and my mom and we all got the same tattoo. My tattoo guy is amazing and really turned me onto this music. These guys are awesome.
As a sax player I have but 2 questions 1. Wtf is at 0:35 and how do I do that 2. How does one accomplish the overtones at 1:00? I can do regular altissimo just fine but damn!
1. is probably fluttertongue (rolling an r with the tip of your tongue while playing). probably needs a lot of practice to sound that extreme though. 2. ??? I've read in some list of extended clarinet techniques that you may place your teeth lightly on the reed to create extremely high tones, but I don't think that's what's going on here. just saying, it's the one thing that comes to my mind.
idk if you still want to know, it is still a form of overtone, just voicing certain pitches gets different sounds. I found out how to do it by heavy experimentation with overtones. if you figure out how to play a low b flat on tenor for example, you can actuallly play a low b flat, an octave above b flat, a third above that and etc etc. pm me if you want more info
А я повелся после этого th-cam.com/video/8JHigEpDpyI/w-d-xo.html был в ахуе, долго думал, крутил и крутил видос и подтанцовывал... одной ногой, пока не устал, пришлось сменить ногу)
Bobik258cz i really didnt like the trumpet, too loud over the other guys and sometimes it got annoying, i mean his sax gets annoying too when its high pitched (thats part of the point) but the trumpet was always blasting high frequency, high intensity stuff. Of all of those instruments, the trumpet is the one that will give you hearing damage at ranges like that with concrete and metal walls, say good by to some of your frequencies. it might even be an insurance thing.
+Kyle Currier I am sorry! But you do not get it. That trumpet player has chops like you would not believe: lungs, balls and talent. He could perform in front of the best of the best and they would be mesmerized. When these guys perform they hold nothing back.
Folks, if ever you have the opportunity to go and see Too Many Zooz, do it. The guys are so humble, and they love their music and the crowds. I just about danced my face off when I saw them, and had a great time. 😊
+BoDiggety *sigh* its pretty hard to tell, it could be both. . this is a street performance so he can do fuck all, so honestly can't judge there, but he's overdoing it to the point of pain. when he goes high, that's called the altissimo range of the saxophone, you practice for it/do it by overtones, like schneidercorn said. personally i think yazmin's wrong, multiphonics are where you "play" two notes at the same time via controlling it with your mouth shape and throat - i think he's actually just growling those upper notes.
+Andrew Ulm If you're honestly curious, there is one thing that was handed as ancestral knowledge to me from my parents and made sure that even the wildest Goth haircuts stay up firm and deadly through nights out clubbing to this day: Simply mix water and sugar and apply said solution to your hair. No, it's not 'clean'. But it's cheap and its firmer then 99% of the shit you can buy in stores. You do need to take real care of your hair when using it, though. It can literally "break" if you aren't careful.
+Andrew Ulm Industrial strength hairspray. The kind used in photo shoots and movie sets. Bit pricey but that shit paralyses your hair to stay in the same position for until you wash it out.

Even with a neckstrap, to be able to dance like he does with it is amazing. Altissimo notes are not easy to hit on it either. Impressive musicianship.
I was pondering the level of musical talent as well as the cudd chewing lifeless crowd. HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU NOT BOB AROUND EVEN A LITTLE?
It is mesmerizing. Idk what it is. The dancing? The awesome sounds from the sax, the drumming? It all creates such an awesome experience.
Bob Faulkner. I play the tenor lol
Well you obviously don’t march a 20J
It takes practice but you can do what he’s doing it’s possible
Leo gets the Best Movement while Playing a Saxophone of the Century award.
+Franco Bowden Totally, he somehow even beats "sexy sax man" playing careless whisper in his awesome outfit
+Franco Bowden Is Leo that black guy?
MrDreamerK No he's the Saxophone
Franco Bowden He's instrument? Wow. Nice.
+MrDreamerK Well you asked a stupid question, he responding with an answer worthy of your question
Me: **Trying to take my finals exam**
My Brain:
it means you have 1 minute before your brain explodes
Man the drummer is in another dimension..
He was definitely on something good to be playing the way he was
That’s KOS and he’s on sludge. He is the king of sludge. He makes them himself.
There are a couple groups making similar music and they're all terrific, but man, the King of Sludge is really the difference maker for me.
WOW ... no words 😍😍😍
Taskiktrunlsarswrkubunk35wakitsagaltismishmamrasglrsiktrortsaglakitsrsi
Mkrfusaglalaskmagrtsaglawr35. bunk
These guys are like seriously my favorite street performers I swear I have watched this performance so many times!
1:13 were the most vicious pelvic thrusts I have ever seen.
lol yes
Leo's Gay LOL Hahaha
best comment out the lot haha
Yesss!😃👍
Hell yeah that's funny
Entering the subway station to a random boss fight.
Alex de Moya yup lol
accurate as all hell
div damn right
Another boss fight? Ugghhh
The Easter egg boss
From a tenor sax player. This is hands down, the best street sax playing on TH-cam. Leo did great. So did the drummer.
i know i'd never be able to move about as much while playing, but playing with a drummer like that, who knows?
I've religiously listened to this set for 5 years. I could listen to this forever. I dont think I'll ever get sick of them
This is TRULY the height of humanity.
You surely didn't see the saxophone battle on the subway then
Well, I was thinking more along the lines of this:
m.th-cam.com/video/VW1vQTx1EhA/w-d-xo.html
@@alessandrocossu1466 this is way better
What he did with that bari sax is illegal in 42 states and the District of Columbia.
Sphere723 what he do
Corruption of a minor ... third.
When?
I think me means the musical minors. A pun indeed
He is a known sax abuser
This guy just blew the roof off Royal Albert Hall in London; he was a guest artist in the 53rd Proms concert which was a tribute to Charlie Mingus. He brought the house down. The audience couldn't believe what they were seeing and hearing. He was fabulous! One of the best Proms ever.
Mary Boyarski yeah but who is the drummer and what is his name?
I swear this is the beat that is always in my head. I’m so glad someone else felt it and also felt it enough to express it through this medium!!!
As a jazz bari player, I'm proud to say I've used a ton of this for solo inspiration lol
everything is in complex - the way he looks, the way he performs^ the way he dances and probably the backstage also... Just awesome! thank you for this video!
challenge of the day, listen to too many zooz without moving. I have failed everytime so far.
+jack mayhoff that is one heck of a challenge. I do not think that it is physically possible unless a person is both deaf and blind. These guys are awesome.
+Kevin Jack My leg twitched once.
+jack mayhoff me too... i've got crazy about their music.... so nice...
+Dragan Trajcevski listened to lucky chops? that guys in that band if you havent seen it.
+jack mayhoff are u crazy? :)
Everytime I wanna see talent, I come to watch this video. Awesome!!!! Great hug from Brazil.
When you have to go against the final boss in a video game.
Holy shit accurate
omfg someone needs to get on that asap
Must be rpg game
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
When you have to go against Pink Guy 1v1er in order to write better comment
1:08 When the boss changed into his second form
“This isn’t even my final form!”
wow...great team!!! these guys are great. New York is such an amazing city with so many talented street artists. Love New York.!!! hugs from Brazil.
We saw Too Many Zooz, at The Jefferson, in Charlottesville with Beats Antique. Awesome show. These guys are awesome.
Oh damn man thats great I love both these guys and Beats Antique sounds like a lot of fun.
that had to be an incredible show. both so good live.
"You have 5 minutes left in the exam"
That goddamn drummer... and that Baritone guy.. these two are amazing
There's also a cool little trumpet guy, he's pretty good too.
Really didn't expect to see you here, weird :D
No shit Sherlock
Ummm it's called a Barry sax but I'm not sure if your talking about this video so
It's Bari sax, as in baritone sax. That's what he was talking about.
*Thrusting Intensifies*
...its only natural
of course props to leo, but also to the drummer. he is AWESOME
These songs get in your head and you will be hearing them all day and find rhythm in whatever you're doing lol!
Yes
Love this, makes me smile & giggle all the way inside. I especially like his cartoon legs!
THE FINAL OPPONENT HAS APPEARED!!!!!!!!
/music plays
Our band teacher showed us this during class
LUCKY
Ok
Mine did too
Your band teacher knows what proper shedding looks like: "Gather 'round music poddlings! Witness the lazer precision aural decimating sound machine!!! Nwhahaha!"
Mine did today fun
check the BBC Proms, Leo, the baritone guy, playing with a huge orchestra, what a show!
charlii vega yeah i go back and watch his parts every so often. So talented.
charlii vega who is the drummer?
Yeah... prefer this venue. He attended Manhattan School Of Music, I know that.
Saw him do Charles Mingus standards. Was good
Thx!
Jesus, the lung capacity that guy must have...
Most woodwinds players learn to store air in their mouth while breathing in through their nose, to basically create an endless supply of air.
+VinnyInTheLab not true, you'll find most wood wing or brass players can't do that at all, I certainly can't and I dot. Know any one who can, we all just learn to breath very fast between notes
Circular breathing isn't easy to do, even though it might sound like it.
cool
I did trombone in middle school, and ya, it isnt cicular breathing at all, it is just taking deep, fast breaths inbetween measures.
the sax is such a kool sounding instrument..........and these dudes can play!!!!!
And a Baritone Sax at that, the classic sax you think of when picturing jazz groups or something is an Alto Sax, but the Sax he has is of a lower set of octaves called the Baritone Sax.
there's also a tenor sax which is in between the alto and baritone. but it is definitely my favorite sounding instrument!
That's not even mentioning the bass saxophone, which is even lower. God, I love saxes.
Rosi Moone so would you say you're a....sax addict? ;)
Kaiden Exeider omg lol i play tenor and alto I'm going to save up for bari for the sophomore year of HS
why do all of the "artsy" people of NY look like the fancy people from the hunger games...
Omg I can't unsee that now
Ahahahaha dead😂
And the drummer looks like hes from the District lol
because that was the costume design in hunger games...lol. seriously. it plays into the story....
Best comment, makes my month
Its fun to watch his hair bounce up and down like a mound of jello
i didnt need this image
S T O P
me and my three kids are all hooked to your tunes it has brought me close to them thank you
Techno, Unplugged
Prodigy should call these guys....
What about drum and brass
wipout1 lmao xD fr
First time I've ever heard a Dubstep type sound out of a Saxophone!
Few people notice it but the black guy is awesome too
he keeps the rhythm, as any percussion should.
It's hard to evaluate how good he's capable of being with just the street performance rig.
I actually like him better
that thing he's playing on is definitely epic.
but I hate the way he is standing, it hurts me too just by looking, that must be a great stress for back
They both must be really fit and with VERY strong muscles
Both are just great :D
Парни, вы просто молодцы.
такого гормоничного дуэта я не видел.
смотрю ваши видео.
с любовью из России.
Super

This is the kinda music that brings people together.
Is it just me or does his hair look downright magical?
I showed this to my mum yesterday. She said "its terrible, this is not music". Should i change my family?
SimonThePianist Yes might as well when you have the chance!!!!
Uh, yes. Final answer.
She needs Jesus.
Poor you, my mom just love it.
immediately
Salute to KING OF SLUDGE!
3:39 thats guys running though. It synced so good with leo
I know I thought he was dancing at first
3:24 The cleanest fucking glissando in the history of glissandos holy shite.
+Franco Bowden Are you sure it wasn't just a chromatic scale?
Zach Bloedow Well yes it was that obviously, but in a fast gliss. style.
Alright :)
+Franco Bowden hey friend, im a saxophonist at the conservatory and i think it isnt a glis because in a gliss you use the mouth for make short intervals
+Franco Bowden what is a glissando ?
These two are the best. I like them as a duo....period
God damn I couldn't imagine playing a bari sax like that standing up let alone while dancing around. The air alone that that takes make me go "NOPE" let alone that fucking chromatic scale at the end with the 30 second notes. I can barely double tongue on my french horn let alone triple tongue like that.

Adrian Mayer I'm a bari player myself and I actually find it easier to get air through my sax while standing. Its also easier to groove
It's been years since I played the French horn in 6th grade band, but my lungs burn just hearing this dude play. Yet I want to play again.
He it's also just playing with a neckstrap instead of a harness
Best sax player I have ever seen .Played baritone sax in high school and it is heavy.Wonderful vid!
Old and still gold. He the pleasure to see them in Bristol UK. Love these guys 👊
To the people who thumbed down this video. Please, seek medical attention.
lol, and psychological help!
Now how about someone get these dudes an album so we can jam to this in our cars. :)

It's odd that with my attention span I watched this whole damn video. Outstanding.
Uncle Willy Same
Uncle Willy yup!!!!!!!! Same
I love the saxophone players Style
love love love theses guys
Heard these guys for the 1st time playing this song a couple weeks ago when I took my 2 daughters and my mom and we all got the same tattoo. My tattoo guy is amazing and really turned me onto this music. These guys are awesome.
Man these two are great. I listen to them all the time. If i get to feeling the blues, i just turn these two on. And they get me the moving.
why he look like pokemon gym leader
Or like the people from the capitol in the hunger games.
Or like a final fantasy character
+aurely caron-parent reno lol
Because he's that awesome
when your this good you can look however you want
He is, he gives you the Wind Badge.
I have never heard a Baritone sax hit high notes like that before....wicked.... great drum sound and timing
too
I'm dancing in my computer chair over here! Awesomeness!!
This has exactly the right amount of cowbell.
These to are 100% in sync.They are tuned in on the same frequency.Absolutely brilliant!!!n
You guys are just awesome!! Fantastic stuff!!
1:08 it's look like he is blowing the shit out of this sax
+Nikitoz9595 That's exactly what he's doing!
+Cat Mastermind He's having a very sexy relationship with his sax.
+Candle Stick saxy
xD
xD
I want those fucking boots.

Sir Fortesque76 Same lol
Sir Fortesque76 the boots are awsome 😍
Fantastic. Love your energy. Both of you are amazing.
this sax - tunes are extraordinary, awesome & unbelievible
As a sax player I have but 2 questions
1. Wtf is at 0:35 and how do I do that
2. How does one accomplish the overtones at 1:00? I can do regular altissimo just fine but damn!
I don't know shit about saxophones, but I hum a fourth or fifth above or below the note I play to get a similar effect on harmonica.
1. is probably fluttertongue (rolling an r with the tip of your tongue while playing). probably needs a lot of practice to sound that extreme though.
2. ??? I've read in some list of extended clarinet techniques that you may place your teeth lightly on the reed to create extremely high tones, but I don't think that's what's going on here. just saying, it's the one thing that comes to my mind.
look up second octv fingerings. Its hard, put it exists
I almost wonder if he's playing without a reed
idk if you still want to know, it is still a form of overtone, just voicing certain pitches gets different sounds. I found out how to do it by heavy experimentation with overtones. if you figure out how to play a low b flat on tenor for example, you can actuallly play a low b flat, an octave above b flat, a third above that and etc etc. pm me if you want more info
3:40 what I look like running around listening to this
This music is perfect for a Quentin Tarantino's movie.
Roberto B my thoughts exactly :-)
это первое видео, после которого я влюбился в эту группу!
O rysskii privet)
хуюппу
А я повелся после этого th-cam.com/video/8JHigEpDpyI/w-d-xo.html
был в ахуе, долго думал, крутил и крутил видос и подтанцовывал... одной ногой, пока не устал, пришлось сменить ногу)
Damn. Might as well drop my entire bank account in there. Love them!
How is he not passing out?????
Exercise, exercise and uhhhhhh, exercise.
Morghan Kiverago idk and idc it's cool
😂 that is exactly what I was thinking
Great lungs and boredom
Morghan Kiverago circular breathing and the power of satan
This is not even their final form!
Amazing.
Such a refreshing sound!! Love this!!!
This will forever be my favorite video
That guy who ran in sync at 3:40 😂😂😂🔥🔥
Where is trumpet :(

+Kyle Currier then why are they playing with him again in october? doesn't say anything about them dropping him.
+Mark Urban I agree with you 100%
Trumpet is one of the hardest instruments to master and takes hours of practice a day to get a consistant tone
+Mark Urban, the problem is It Sounds Better Without the Trumpet... as good as he is. Trumpet does not belong in THIS song.
When mom brings home food
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LET'S GET THESE GUYS ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!!!
Man. This got me thinking. Imagine if this was the soundtrack for a boss in Deltarune/Undertale.
Please
yes, that would be awesome
Folks, if ever you have the opportunity to go and see Too Many Zooz, do it. The guys are so humble, and they love their music and the crowds. I just about danced my face off when I saw them, and had a great time. 😊
i didn't know saxes can make those types of sounds. Is there a name for that technique? Is he the originator? wow....just.....wow
+Yazmin Caballero It's actually overtones.
+BoDiggety *sigh* its pretty hard to tell, it could be both. . this is a street performance so he can do fuck all, so honestly can't judge there, but he's overdoing it to the point of pain. when he goes high, that's called the altissimo range of the saxophone, you practice for it/do it by overtones, like schneidercorn said. personally i think yazmin's wrong, multiphonics are where you "play" two notes at the same time via controlling it with your mouth shape and throat - i think he's actually just growling those upper notes.
theYerrowFerrow exactly it! :)
How is he doing this at 3:30
I would love to be able to do that (I play bari myself)
Tanto Wielding Ghost doing what?
Juan Diaz Well, if you'd actually go to the time stamp you'd be able to figure out what I'm talking about.
i think hes just very angrily playing it lol
Practice my friend I play tuba the what he plays is a dream of the future
The way he plays is a dreamOnly in middle school life is hard but band Is fav class
I just wanna know what kind of product that dude uses in his hair. Shit stays tight the entire time.
I know, right?
+Andrew Ulm he uses a wig because he is completely bald.

i have seen this video many times, I know realize how good the drums are too!
He is a genius... The best I have heard this year.. 💪👍
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS SONG? I NEED TO DOWNLOAD IT AND PLAY IT A MILLION TIMES!!!!!!!!
Too Many Zooz - Flightning
+mmmcaneh To The Top, F note album
Dont listen to them the song is Concerto for Bari and Sludge.
+PlazmaCow he's right you know.
FUCKING AWESOME SKILLS!!! LOVE IT!!! do these guys have a chanel??
They have a soundcloud
Look for them as "lucky chops" they have a youtube channel, they are awsome!
this is not lucky chops, this is too many zooz, although both are amazing. TMZZ does have a youtube.
Yup, Too Many Zooz!
Отличные ребята! Ураган!
Have loved you guys since I found you when you went viral six months ago! So good, so unique! ❤️
I love this kind of stuff. Thanks guys.
GET THESE PEOPLE ON "America's Got Talent"!!!!
Scam
Not sell outs !
Well they’ve been officially signed to a label now for a while
Lol, why? Too Many Zooz have too many skills for that
Still lose to a singing girl with a sad backstory (who would most definitely lose an actual singing competition like The Voice)
To think, 2 years later he's at the BBC Proms playing in a 2 hour concert :D Leo is the best
John Smith yeah but who is the drummer and what is his name?
I had no idea that sax can make sounds like this... These guy invented saxophone again!
Jacek Tomczyk Clarinet can do that too. It's called a reed squeek, and it sounds terrible.
I love how they both have so much fun and have given themselves completely in to the music
Making a baritone sound like that is impressive and the drummer is loving life and smashing out a sick beat love this vid
