"I envy them, those who can't see. Those who know not, that they are not." Coming soon...

Throwback to when Rob the Balloon Guy wreaked havoc in my studio while I was in the bathroom. Shoutouts to @vronmediamusic.bsky.social for providing the perfect soundtrack to his meddling! Tune into #MarimbaMonday at 7pm ET at twitch.tv/drumultima! #twitch #streamer #videogamemusic #percussion

Look, I'm a simple man

Okay I'm not streaming tonight LOL I just got back from Brazil this morning, and I had a great time! However, I am exhausted--physically and emotionally. We'll be back on Wednesday with more Deltarune, and we'll move our marimba stream to Friday afternoon. See you then!

Time to go hooooome weh

Stream schedule for this week! I'm not sure about Friday, though... we'll play that one by ear! Tune in at twitch.tv/drumultima

Drums just have to play 4/4, right? Chris explains how he does, and does not, have to do both and not do both at the same time in Cave Rave! #vgm #fusion #progrock #skiesofarcadia #chris

I'm sitting outside in Brazil and can hear an opera singer practicing in one of the condos nearby

It might be the middle of the summer, but that doesn't mean we can't have a #tbt to last semester's percussion ensemble concert at WCSU. Of all the sticks and mallets I end up holding, it's not often I find myself holding a baton! #percussionensemble #percussion #education

Allow us to Rave a bit about Cave Rave! Here's Doug talking about the part of the piece that's most challenging for him. #vgm #fusion #progrock #skiesofarcadia #vibraphone #whatisthataxylophoneorsomething

No streams this week! See you in August~

Sam has an important message to show love to our fans who always request Cave Rave on our streams! :) #vgm #fusion #twitch #skiesofarcadia #fear

Playing mallet percussion instruments isn't just a matter of hitting the right note at the right time. We need theory and ear training skills just as much as every other instrument--especially when moments like these happen! #percussion #musictheory #education

Cave Rave is one of our favorite pieces to play: our wonderful keyboardist and arranger Ben Wallace transformed a less-than-a-minute long cave theme from Skies of Arcadia and transformed it into a 9-minute prog rock masterpiece/nightmare. Here's a part of our performance of it at this year's VGMCon!

Remember when I said I couldn't get enough of this tune? I meant it! More soloing over Third Sanctuary from Deltarune~ #vibraphone #tobyfox #deltarune Tune into #MarimbaMonday at 7pm ET on twitch.tv/drumultima! #twitch #streamer #videogamemusic

No streams this week! See you in August~

We love doing two things in DiscoCactus: playing music from Sonic the Hedgehog, and adding lyrics to songs that never had them. Here's us doing both! #vgm #funk #sonic #lyrics

for the jamiroqrime of illegal heat canning, my client pleads virtual insanity

What if I went to Brazil

Even the best of the best flub. Here's a good one from our very own best of the best! (it's ok if everyone knew how much I flubbed I'd be out of a job) #vgm #funk #violin #violince

Here's a clip of Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum's gong xi gong xi with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra! In this piece, I tune the drums in the "wrong" order to make playing the piece more fluid overall. #timpani #percussion #orchestra

Ralsei is finishing up his shift at the DiscoCactus merch booth and will be joining us for some more Deltarune Chapter 5! Live now, tune in at twitch.tv/drumultima

Had an amazing time performing the music of Journey with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra last night! I tried to get lots of selfies while counting rests, but the other musicians seemed too focused to notice. Oh well, at least the band did! #orchestra #percussion #journey

Which one is your favorite? #videogamemusic #luigismansion #gamecube

Another #tbt to @discocact.us' performance at Songbyrd Music House! Final Fantasy XIV was one of the games that carried me through COVID lockdown. This is the solo section from my arrangement of "From the Dragon's Wake", which we call "Please no Steppe". #videogamemusic #ffxiv #vibraphone
