The best musicians are capable of evoking a whole range of emotions in their listeners. It’s why legendary artists like Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney are so popular with folks of all ages. But you don’t have to be world-famous for your music to have an impact on others. Ethan Harb, for example, does so through gigs his band gets… but not always in the ways you would imagine.

Ethan Harb is the drummer of the group. His role is vital, especially since it seems much of the music they play is in the rock/metal genres. While he’s known for his incredible skills, this drummer is also known for the sound effects he’ll use on his sample pad. In case you aren’t aware, a sample pad is an instrument that gives musicians access to a limitless number of sounds — including ones you’d never expect. See what I mean in the hilarious video below!

Sneaky Drummer Takes Advantage of His Instrument With the Inclusion of a Silly Sound Effect
The singer of Ethan’s band is absolutely nailing the vocals for Immigrant by Led Zeppelin when, suddenly, a cartoonish noise rings out. Because this wasn’t planned, the singer can’t help but laugh. But what starts out as a chuckle quickly turns into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. In the end, though, this only makes the performance even better!

The only thing better than this moment is the fact that it’s far from the only one. On his social media page, Ethan continues to share moments where he surprises the band with silly sounds. In the one above, he seamlessly incorporates Soulja Boy’s famous line in All These Things That I’ve Done by The Killers.
“These are the types of bands I prefer to see live,” someone shares in the comments of the first video, with a fellow drummer admitting, “My band took away my sample pad for this.”
