- You are about to witness trombone history. Today I've compiled my journey to speed running Nyan Cat as fast as humanly possible on the trombone. It took 15 days to work up to the maximum speed. Thank you to all who have supported me during this journey, you have much more to look forward to I promise you that!
Hope you enjoy the double tonguing, triple tonguing and quadruple tonguing on this one. Trying to make LingLing proud.
*IDK why this is showing up as a new upload. I've been updating old thumbnails and titles in addition to trimming some of the outdated "thank you" segments. I guess TH-cam just wants to give this video another shot? Let me know what you think hahaha.
#nyancat #memes #trombone
I actually have no idea why this was posted as a new video!!! I only meant to trim the intro to this and yet here we are with a brand new post. Whoops? :3
Good thing it came as a new video otherwise I wouldn't have seen this masterpiece
I'm not complaining!!!
What Æ said. Damn I wake up early and this is what I get? Not complaining bro
Can you play what Peter played for the original audio but on your Trombone?
Ah shoot, aw dang, what a terrible thing to happen... :3
That fact that it was COMPREHENSIBLE is the real impressive thing at that speed
anyone can do something fast, it takes talent to do it well
That's what she sai...oh, nevermind.

jesus this blew up fast...
If you can play it slowly, you can play it fast. But it takes real skill to keep it sounding good. Well done!
@@matttthewcheng If you can play it slowly, EVENTUALLY you can play it fast IF YOU PRACTICE DILIGENTLY. There FIFY.
"This is Trombone Nyan Cat at 100% Speed.
And this... This is EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!!"

@@OrgBrent wot? Explain to me
@@rin0847 original post was going super saiyan 3, not allmighty
I played for 4 years in high school. This looked truly hellish but utterly satisfying. You made me want to pick up a trombone again.

*as Palpatine* Do it.
Do it! Picked up my viola recently after not playing for a few years. Play some scales or something, it'll feel really good!
Omg same here. I played since the 5th grade and stopped after high school and haven’t picked it up since
As a former trombone player (played for 3 years and got sick of it) this hurts to watch, excellent job my guy
I dont get how this would hurt
@@potats1770 he wishes he would’ve continued
@@potats1770 double tonguing with a trombone mouthpiece is a pain, along with some awkward slide positions creates a killer combo
@@potats1770 ima guess u don’t play trombone and maybe not any instrument
@@Mr.Beep_ I play piano, still learning it. I'm not experienced with instruments like the trombone
I'm a trumpeter, and the fact that you can do this without passing out on a trombone that uses MORE AIR is just... Wow
Edit: I didn't realize that trombone doesn't need as much air, but that's still so much more effort just to move the slide to the right place, idk this takes alot of skill and effort.
@@pax_77 Yes you could. You just need to practice, just like he did
👀🙌💖 Dominion (2018) 💖🙌👀
Ain't no way youre a trumpet player, you just gave props to a trombone player lol
@Marc Dumont quiet isnt an object when playing that fast. Still difficult, if not more so.
@@jonathonthomas1255 Us trumpet players give props to all brass. It's woodwinds that we hate on
Electric guitar players: We are the fastest shredders alive!
This legend: Hold my mouthpiece.
As a trombone player, it hurts to watch. My mouth would've been tired af

@@WiseandVegan mmmmm no.
Same💀
Well as the old proverb goes, "if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly."
Seriously though, respect my guy great job, and fabulous lungs
Great reference!

SACRELIGIOUS
LingLing can do better
I was gonna say that
“I cannot imagine how sore his cheeks are”
I imagine it’s his face that’s sore, but I’m not a trombone player.
"cheeks" is an approximation, it's more like the corners of the lips that give out
@@kaprikorngamer9662 do I have to be that guy?
@@mihailmilev9909 must I add a /s? you've located the joke
@@kaprikorngamer9662 I c, I c
@@mihailmilev9909 I can tolerate 'y' and 'u', but 'c' in place of 'see' is too far.
While those last few speeds might not be "concert-ready", you're pushing yourself to these extreme "drills", essentially, that most of your peers probably aren't doing. Many people are just trying to get through their next assignment. And with the slide instead of valves, trombonists tend to have pretty critical ears.
If you keep 150%-ing memes on the trombone, you're probably going to develop some otherworldly skills.
You know, beyond being about to cross 100K subscribers as a trombonist. That doesn't seem like an easy thing to do on its own. Congrats in advance.
Exactly! These speed skills will be applicable to all sorts of “professional” pieces. And that breath support? 🤩
@@tatemitchell1479 Right? I don't even play a brass instrument and I'm suddenly insecure about my own breathing prowess as I go about my day. I never knew breathing could be like that.
@@buffkangaroodog I see where you're coming from. And I don't think anyone would audition at Julliard or Berklee with this piece on trombone, even if they _could_ pull it off. Because in the end, this melody, performed on a trombone, falls into "stunt" category because no composer with a shred of human decency would scribe this melody for the trombone. It would just be a mean thing to do.
It would be like performing Flight of the Bumblebee on a standard diatonic tin whistle. Technically possible, but if pulled off it would be more impressive philosophically than.... aurally. And even if it sounded perfect aurally... dude just pick an easier instrument, at the end of the day.
But that's what I love about this stuff. Music for the masses, with a generous dose of "lol".
I thought the 150% meant the video was sped up by 1.5x but no this man is just very good at trombones
Same here xD I was like "Oh he can't play it as fast as the original so he had to speed the video up to make it sound right".
👀🙌💖 Dominion (2018) 💖🙌👀
Same lol didn’t think it was possible that
There's no way you can go faster than that
Is that a challenge?
@@trombonetimo yes
@@gsse6629 😳
@@mihailmilev9909 but fr at the 1.5 speed i could tell he was messing up some notes (still impressive i could not do that) if he goes to 1.6 he will fail/or not sound like nyan cat.
@@gsse6629 😳
I love how his smile just gets bigger with each one. He's so confident; I love it
It falls apart a bit towards 150% but like... Holy fuck this is impressive! I figured 100% was far fetched but it sounded good well over that!
Well the closer he went to 150 it became less accurate, yes.
@@IunahYT precise*
@@wagonofthings4425 it doesn't matter if i say precise or accurate tho i think
I wouldn't call it "fall apart"
@@abigaylegeisel Well I didn't call it "fall apart". It was the original poster who called it that
Every time I see someone play a trombone fast, it looks like they are trying to jerk their instrument of. And I respect that dedication to those happy trombone noices.
I mean thats one gross way to think about it
@@cutiecat2754 It is the only way to think about it! 😉
I have never heard anyone describe trombone so beautifully 🤣🤣
Great now i cant unsee it
ah yes, the bone.
I love that it starts to sound like someone's aggressively wiping a window haha
You somehow managed to make the to make the trombone sound like it was a trilling french horn. Most impressive...

@@WiseandVegan no.
This video is:

2:01 onwards is basically a caffeine shot.
This should be used in audition repertoire.
I don't even think I could reach that speed on my violin let alone a trombone. Your cheek muscles must be made of brass by now.
This man scares me just bc he put a bass instrument in treble. 🤣
Trombone is more baritone than bass. It can have a wide range when learned how to play it the right way.
@@Bendigo1 I've been playing for years. It's a low brass instrument and yes it has good range but it's a low brass instrument..
@@maddogcorvette Yes they are, I know that they use the bass clef but can easily play in treble range. while an instrument like a tuba is really only meant for bass. I was comparing the trombone to voice registers, if they were a voice, they would be baritone. Obviously there are different trombones that play in different keys, but the more common ones are more baritone than full bass.
@@Bendigo1 trombones are tenor
@@Bendigo1 that's their voice, they are tenor
Damn he did the impossible...
He saw the invisible...
Your like are too sus now let's move it to 70
He played the unplayable…
No sadly he didn’t do me :/
This song used to annoy the hell out of me back in middle school, but now......hearing this was like unlocking one of the most pleasant memories I have of my childhood.....
Well, having heard the Flight of the Bumblebee played on trombone, I'm not surprised that someone could play Nyan Cat at its right speed.
Also, I've always liked the rhythm shift in the repeated passages.
Like, it’s not trivial, but I could do this with about a week’s practice, as well (if I had my trombone in country). Don’t understand people freaking out about it - I was maybe more impressed by him not using the trigger!
As a current trombone player I can't imagine the agony his cheeks and arms are in.
Loved the series, has somehow always made my days a bit better, thank you for that :>
A “wise” man once said “If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.”
Lol, yeah😊
I came looking for this
Okay, so I was like, "that's pretty dope," and then get got to the like 130% speed and higher and now I'm just like, "dude, are you magic???"
legend has it to this day that he still keeps increasing the tempo and can now only be watched with an expensive slow mo camera
I can't do this on trumpet, the fingers are probably super easy. Meanwhile, this absolute machine...
Psh I play Nyan Cat on trombone at 180% every morning. I wake up, play Nyan Cat on trombone at 180%, open my eyes, get out of bed, go to the bathroom...
Ling Ling would look on this while he was practicing and smile.
Me as a horn player trying to figure out how to play this at half tempo without splitting every other note.
If you can do it slowly, you can do it quickly, just be Ling Ling already
For someone going on 8 years of playing Trombone I am impressed.
it barely sounds like a song at the end, yet you can still hear each individual note which doesn't turn into just one long glissando. i am in awe
The power of PRACTICE!! Plus since you were doing just that one phrase, it’s very doable! Not easy, but doable. I commend your dedication!
This is beautiful…I’ve been watching this for hours
As a woodwind player, I can still understand this pain.
Hah, this is cake on a clarinet and oboe. Flute probably not so much.
never played the trombone so i have no clue how hard this is but well done and impressive
Bro, as a former /percussion/ player, my face is hurting. Kudos!
in the faster speeds it just sounds like someone is cleaning a window
Even though this meme is so old, I love to see that people still appreciate it! It's one of the first memes I remember seeing, ever. Nya~! 🌈😸
when you finally made it to 100%, it made me feel an emotion that most movies can't make me feel
I feel that if you just bring in this classical masterpiece and played it that fast, you would win any audition, scholarship, or competition just like if you pulled an Exodia on the first turn of yugioh.
Actually, the only painful thing in this video is that he plays a left-handed trombone
This was one of my favorite series
Trombone player here uh this is fucking amazing
Absolutely goated
I appreciate you so much!
If you can play it slowly... you can play it quickly!
That looks fun...
Is what I would have said if I hadn't ever tried french horn, which looks like it has much better air flow than the trumpet, and french horn was pretty painful to play as going pbpbpbpbp into a vibrating brass tube really takes a toll on your entire face after a while, and having to do it at any higher intensity than what's required for a french horn is something I cannot comprehend.
....
that was insane
ok bye
inredible work! this may be a dumb question but i'm assuming you played it a bunch each day, not just the one time?
He really took “if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly” to a max
I tried that once on a flute. I lost 15 pads and 2 screws off my covers when I got to 120%.
The dedication I see with this entire concept is just...wow. I played the clarinet for a time and even if I'd kept up with it I don't think I could have ever done with it what you've done here. And the instrument you chose is REALLY difficult to do this with already! But you took it several steps FURTHER. Major respect!
i mean yeah, but the faster you go the less clear your articulation is. each note has to be crisp as a brand new dollar bill. feels like you are using bills from the 1950's
This puts a smile on my face
Good job, but fake notes were detected already at day 8, and in the end you really hit less than half of the actual notes. 100% of the speed or slightly less seems like the best for trombone.
Now, I need to see if someone played Nyan Cat on a triangle!
He must got this memorized by now-
I'm not even a trombone player and this hurts me in a personal level, good job
Legend says hes still goin
this man ended someone careers
Only moderately cursed to see a left handed trombone
Omg! That must have been a lot of work!
Absolutely love it!
I have a sore throat right now, and just seeing this, imagining doing this, hurts xD Great job, man!
This just brings me back to my middle school clarinet days and printing out my favorite music in sheets to attempt playing.
Spectacularly clean playing throughout, well done!! You sound great
My guy didn’t stop
I'm gonna show this to my trombone playing friend
A musician of pure focus and commitment
GEEEEZ....talk about excessive. Satisfying, especially for the dedication and effort, *BUT YOU HAVE TO BE EXHAUSTED.* 14/10 for the performances, 21/10 for determination towards getting it done, and 10.5/10 for bringing me back to my childhood(as awkward as it was).
That last day it sounded really close to somebody making wiping sounds on glass xD
Awesome job dude!
I don’t know why this popped up but absolutely no regrets :3 well done!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND! GREAT JOB DOING THISSSSS
Baritone player here! Keep up the good work, holy shit.
As someone that isn’t a former trombone player this seems painful. I’m glad you take a whole day of break
As a euphonium player, I cannot express how bloody impressive this is omg well done haha
You are very skilled! Well done!
It does help that a good chunk there in the middle just alternates between 3rd and 4th position! Well done
Being a Baritone player and playing the same music- man that must HURT YOUR FACE. Watching the Trombones in my classes are sad compared to you. 😂
As but a simple violin player, I’m afraid.
"If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly"
SACRILEGIOUS
I've been playing trombone for almost 6 years and this makes my arm and face hurt just by watching good job man
1:49 That's the face of someone long gone, past the point of insane, and is not paid enough for this.
Well you know what they say: If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly
warms my heart when people still have love for old memes
My lips are numb from watching this
That's no easy feat by any means, this is impressive as hell. Not only do you have to be LIGHTNING with those slides and PERFECT at positioning, but the BREATH CONTROL this takes? Astounding.
I’ve been playing for 4 years and those are hella awkward slide positions- and the breath control is amazing-
I play over 15 different instruments. No amount of dedication could get me to this point. I am beyond impressed and my admiration for you knows no bounds. Keep it the fuck up my guy!!
6 years of music in my school years. You sir, are outstanding,. Great job!
Yes, keep the classics alive. You're doing the Lord's work.
This is amazing lol. That's dedication!
This is what intrusive thoughts feel like. Start off with a harmless "hey what if-" and gets increasingly more detailed and chaotic.
I wasn't expecting to want to watch this, but I'm glad it exists.
