It "tones" the drum, helps to get rid of unwanted higher pitch ringing. Really helps to soften a jazz set.
I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself.

Serious question: Did Mancini ever do anything that was not great music? OK, except for his theme for Love Story.

I love all those horns, being an old, former horn player myself.
Playing the tuba like that is a real workout - it takes a lot of wind.

That poor tuba player; my face muscles are cramping up just watching him.

You mean the guys with the rotary valve horns? (The second guy in has the piston-valve trumpet you're used to.)
Rotary valves can handle more airflow, produce a slightly flatter, but more mellow tone, particularly in the upper registers, and are sometimes considered better at "blending" with other brass.
I've never owned one, but I've played one. Owing to the mechanical design, it's very difficult to overblow, so volume is pretty much limited by your lung power.

Seems like it could be a Dream Sequence from Dr House MD.

the little pieces of tape change the tone of the snare...you actually tune individual drums by tightening the small lugs around the drum head
its not just crash, bang, wallop and away you go
Skip Prokop, a friend of mine who was a drummer for a band called Lighthouse, here in Canada also used to 'tune' his cymbals by drilling small holes to change their frequency
I like The Art of Noise version as well

I particularly enjoy also versions by ELP and Sound of Noise.
