Yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, they started a new segment called “Can They Do It Live?” The premiere act was Tummy Talk where three men use their buddy as a drum. The edited YouTube (below) is incredible to watch, but can they do it was well with no editing. Well they came all the way from Utah to prove that they can. Watch their appearance and be blown away by how f*cking awesome they are!
Who would think that you can play a human like that? As producer, Mike Chidsey explained to Kimmel how it happened, “I was just in the shower slapping myself and I thought it would sound so much better if I had more girth and skills.” So he called his drummer friends Matt Nickle, Liahona Seumanu and Tyrell Shepherd, and they called their friend Niu Luamanuvae. Only thing is they didn’t tell Niu that they were going to use him as a drum. Just like a Timex, he can taking a beating and keep on ticking. Seriously what a good sport! I hope that all of the guys pat themselves on the back to a beat for a job well done!
BTW I really hope the Japanese pick up on Tummy Talk because I think it would be a great halftime show during Sumo Wrestling. The loser of the match can be the drum!
