As an old Sousa player, it was immensely gratifying, watching such a prolific musician pick up the horn, and just let loose the most metallic farts possible. Brings me back, and brings a tear to my eye.
Getting a sousaphone and then going “time for a trumpet solo” is so painful yet accurate to the band experience 😭 cherish your low brass siblings, please
As a tuba player, Daniel organically deciding to play Mars _killed_ me. That was a classic to blast as we walked off the field after high school band practice.
Kudos to the filming and editing team; as hilarious and charismatic as Daniel is, this content wouldn't have hit the same without the great edits and different filming angles.
As someone who played tuba all through middle/high school, these are exactly some of the "first impression" thoughts that run through your mind: the hilarity at putting on the massive instrument, the "what the heck" positioning of the mouthpiece, the absolute metallic fart noises that emerge from trying the first few noises, it's all here. Fantastic. 2:59 You know, on the topic, there was always an urban legend among tuba players that if you played a specific low note on tuba, it would arose a crocodile. Also not a zoologist, idk.
At some point we need a video showing off Daniel's instrument collection. Like a demented version of Cribs, but instead of the garage opening to show off a bunch of cars it's a bunch of odd instruments.
As a sousaphone in marching band… this is the most real portrayal of someone learning the sousaphone ever. Especially the picking up for the first time…
daniel i think my favorite thing about this is that i can attest to this being as accurate a creative process as ever. i am a trombonist, i started out on euphonium, but this was a beautiful display of exercising raw creativity and it got better as the video went on. the new orleans swing really sold it. i adore these ones, thank you. thank you.
Just so you all know. The sousaphone was designed for the sole purpose of producing a similar noise to the tuba, while also being easier to carry while marching. By easier to carry I mean it sits on the shoulders and you can bear the weight easier, because these things can weigh up to like 20-25kg if you get full brass ones!
Every instrument makes it easier to learn the next. That said I believe he played trumpet which is similar enough. I'm also a sousaphone player actually kinda wish I could afford one
As a string player hats off to you! I have no idea how brass players do it, circular breathing and whatnot. I wanna pass out if i have to blow up birthday balloons.
@@sarahs1368 you're crazy if you think any of us brass players are circular breathing lol. I don't know how string players do it, not having frets and whatnot
What I love about Daniel is he's so excited about every new instrument he buys and its so wholesome. Keep it up with your hilarious sketches and new instruments Daniel!!
If you made a full song out of 3:08 I would unintentionally listen that everyday, because it actually sounded pretty cool! Also I am the same way whenever I get a new instrument, I just sit there for hours messing around with them haha
Watching Daniel do this is really funny because one of my good friends is a sousaphone in our high school marching band and he makes it look a LOT easier than Daniel does!
There was a kid in my band who played the tuba and I distinctly remember the Grinch smirk he used to give the band whenever a marching piece came up and he got to whip out the sousaphone. Bro was a menace and lived off of the bands fear, simultaneously one of the most chill and funny dudes I’ve met.
The shortest kid in my high school band, under 5' 2 and weighing about 90 lbs played Sousaphone ( and would ride home on his bike with it still " on ," I played piccolo and was 5'8". It looked funny when we were side by side. Ah, good times
I purchased an accordion because I thought the same thing "its just a dlc for piano" boy was I wrong, turns out the keyboard half is a very small part of the challenge of accordion. 10/10 difficulty compared to piano in my opinion
@@KGB.Official Haha. Yeah. Not being able to constantly see your right hand playing the melody is a small problem if you have to play the bass with some buttons you can only feel (with just around 3 distinguishable buttons) while also having to let the bellows "breathe" to determine volume and to even make any sound. I'm glad that I've been learning it since 2nd grade, almost 13 years now. It's so much fun and such a unique instrument.
@zombieman3011 obscure in the sense that your average person probably couldn't identify it (unlike a tuba, which I think a lot of people would confuse this for lol)
The sousaphone (/ˈsuːzəfoʊn/ SOO-zə-fohn) is a brass instrument in the tuba family. Created around 1893 by J. W. Pepper at the direction of American bandleader John Philip Sousa (after whom the instrument was then named), it was designed to be easier to play than the concert tuba while standing or marching, as well as to carry the sound of the instrument above the heads of the band. Like the tuba, sound is produced by moving air past the lips, causing them to vibrate or "buzz" into a large cupped mouthpiece. Unlike the tuba, the instrument is bent in a circle to fit around the body of the musician; it ends in a large, flaring bell that is pointed forward, projecting the sound ahead of the player. Because of the ease of carrying and the direction of sound, it is widely employed in marching bands, as well as various other musical genres. Sousaphones were originally made of brass. Beginning in the mid-20th century, some sousaphones have also been made of lighter materials such as fiberbrass & plastic.
As a collegiate marching band sousa, and watching hours worth of Daniel's content. It makes me feel a little warm inside, that he didn't absolutely finesse this instrument as he does with everything else.
I play the sousaphone and the whole video is factual when you first start playing it. You start playing and not pressing the values and but then you learn the fingerings and it is a very fun instrument to play once you learn it. Great video Daniel! Keep up the hard work!
One other thing, this reminded me of my first year playing tuba. I practiced at least 30 minutes a day 5 to 6 days a week. This goes out to all of the family and neighbors that suffer around those that play the tuba, at home.
As a tuba player, you did a pretty good job for what I’m assuming is your first time ( even though you didn’t empty the condensation valve/ spit valve)

I did tuba throughout highschool, including sousaphone during marches. Highly recommend investing in a good shoulder pad for continued use. Sousaphones use a lot more air than one might expect and being comfortable enough to hold good posture is critical.
This made me laugh so hard... What a good laugh, thank you. My older brother played sousaphone in marching band in high school and I would have to go to the shows, and I could never decipher what it sounded like... But it is quite an instrument visually! My favorite of your jams with it was when you were using it like a drum too haha. Very creative
so many fond memories of competing between other sousas to see who could hold their 50 pound shoulder destroyer above their heads from the last quarter of the game till the end
In Middle School, 6th to 8th grade, we used sousaphones as our marching band tubas. (They had flip up ones in HS.) The main thing that's bad about the sousaphone is it will bruise the shoulder you rest it on. Also, try carrying that 80 pounds for 5 to 7 miles, while playing occasionally.
As a sousaphone player thank you for bringing attention that it's not easy to play and hold and are heavy. Thank you for adding our tuba and sousaphone name out there and you getting it.
This made me reflect on my childhood instrument learning experiences and I realized... I feel so bad for elementary band teachers everywhere- they need to have so much patience, and having a good sense of humor should be a requirement 😂

As a tubist/sousaphone player, this is slightly painful to watch, but I'm glad our army is being added to.
He can hit that pedal Bb tho
He started to hold the notes better by the end. He was definitely struggling with keeping up his air flow though lol
I can agree with this
Yep
he used the right fingering for hot cross buns though, being a tuba player i really want a sousaphone myselph.

In Middle School, 6th to 8th grade, we used sousaphones as our marching band tubas. (They had flip up ones in HS.)
The main thing that's bad about the sousaphone is it will bruise the shoulder you rest it on.
Also, try carrying that 80 pounds for 5 to 7 miles, while playing occasionally.
