Memphis’ band filled in for Colgate and made playing the cymbals into an artform

However you thought cymbals should be played doesn’t even come close to this.

The Baylor Bears are playing the Colgate Raiders on Friday for a chance to advance to the round of 32 during the NCAA tournament. Still, all anyone can talk about is the Colgate band cymbal player because the guy is playing the cymbals like the rent is due.

The best parts of March Madness are the games that make absolutely no sense, the things you didn’t see coming and the instant memes that will live on forever. But something not enough people are talking about is what’s happening in the stands, including a totally-feeling-it cymbal player.

That’s when a pan to the left showed a cymbal player totally nailing how instruments are meant to be played — with a lot of soul and a bunch of confidence.

His performance quickly made the rounds on social media, and fans loved it. Here’s what they said:
