Basketballs & Kitchen - STOMP Out Loud!

 [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik8jICj8juc]


This is definitely different from anything else that I've posted on here so far, and a lot of people might argue that it's not music; it is, though. The earliest music in human history was probably created using the human voice, but the first instrument developed was probably some kind of percussive instrument that was even less refined and honed that the pots and pans found in this video.


Percussive ensembles exist all over the country, and yes, they use more traditional instruments, but I don't see how that changes anything. There's rhythm, groove, and even melody in this piece to some extent. It's as much a song as a lot of stuff we hear on the radio today.
