What happens when two baroque cellists perform a cover of “Thunderstruck“ by AC/DC? They shred. Literally. Keep an eye on their bows as the piece progresses.

This awesome video features Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, aka 2Cellos, playing their phenomenal “BaRock style” arrangement of the hard rock classic for a completely bewildered 17th century audience. The concept is wonderful, but the actual performance is astonishing.

ok that was seriously badass. PLAY, CROATIAN BEAUTIES, PLAY WHILE I SHIP YOU.

i love the way the sound changes as the bows gradually disintegrate, too.

that was FUCKING AWESOME.

A few years ago I really wanted to learn an unconventional instrument.

And I found an instrument called a ‘Hang Drum’. (pronounced ‘hung’) It’s really a beautiful instrument, unfortunately they cost thousands of dollars.

I’d still totally want to learn to play one some day.

holy crap that is rad. why are they so expensive? is it what they’re made out of or something? I wanna research it because wow this is super. 

Mostly because only two people make them in a small workshop in Berne, Switzerland. 

AHHH SO pretty! @A@

that’s so cool :0

I LOVE HANG DRUMS.

Thats such a haunting sound. Its a shame they are so expensive, because that is beautiful

IT’S THE SOULPAN!!!
