This 'Beavis and Butt-Head' Drum Kit Is Nothing Short of "FIRE"

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Nov 8, 2022

Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head have been skewering music videos from the likes of Post Malone, Tyler, the Creator and more in their recent ninth season, leading us to wonder what the duo would think about a drum kit programmed with their own voices.

Such an uhuhuhuhuhuh...cool instrument was recently played by drummer Miles Hlivko in a video from September now making the rounds online [via Loudwire].

Hlivko, who keeps time as one third of Akron, OH, instrumental trio the Beyonderers, first samples the speech of Beavis and Butt-Head and subsequently maps the soundbites to each piece of an electronic drum kit.

As the video shows, he's clipped Butt-Head's "uh" and tuned it accordingly for the kit's toms, and has reserved the crash cymbal for Beavis's "FIRE."

The drummer clearly has some practice at this, having also mapped vocal samples of Tim Allen and the perpetually weepy, deeply unfunny Jordan Peterson to his kit. You can see how those two sound under Hlivko's control below.

Before their ninth season aired, Judge's animated duo returned to action earlier this year in Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.
