This Insane Slow-Motion Video Of Paint On A Drum Set Will Hypnotize You

The latest experiment from The Slow Mo Guys mixes paint and percussion to create a series of beautiful explosions.

Gav and Dan, two of the jolliest Brits you'll ever meet, begin by pouring six different colors of powder paint onto an old bass drum.

They then bang the drum while filming in 4K at multiple angles, producing a smoky rainbow that scatters upward like an erupting volcano.

The clips only become more awe-inspiring when they hit the drum from underneath, once after layering the paint in a can and again with the colors spread all around.

When filmed close-up, the paint quickly engulfs the entire camera and appears like a paint factory being blown to bits.
