Dont think it comes better than this!
The drummer in this video is Lawrence Sullivan / lawrence.sullivan.338 (you must be logged into facebook to view the profile)
Filmed in Quincy Market, Boston.

[@Barnacules]

The sad thing is he probably didn't make any money off this video and it could have supported him, 12 million views, wow!

[@mrbrownalways]

MONETIZE THAT SHIT !!

[@MrDarePunk]

If everyone who had seen this video game him only 1 dollar he would now be a fucking millionaire.. :D

[@ShadoutMusicOfficial]

***** noticing on how big that bucket is, he probably did expect around 10 millions :)

[@Restrictted]

or at least give him a plus 1 if they liked the video

[@theintangible3018]

Shadout Music Gotta replace those broken drum sticks somehow.

[@yangliu2935]

8 years... but this is still one of my favorites. wonder how is this genius guy doing now.

[@PrettyFinessa]

I can’t wait to show him this comment 🥹 so sweet !

[@imalitdrummerlovesvideogames]

Yup same here to this day 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯

[@youssefbensliman4022]

Watched this 10 years ago and now I'm rewatching it and enjoying it at the same time.

[@erineckert1492]

Hi ❤

[@StopMotion613]

Came for drums. Stayed for drums.

[@SilentCougar]

This guy is phenomenal, the rhythms, beats and continual play is just amazing. To imagine him getting his hands on a full kit is something to be watched for. Brilliant.

[@arthuryehuda7029]

I've been playing drums all my life...honestly speaking I started playin like this but at this level I can't do this, it is very very hard for me. Hes absolutely amazing. I have no match on this guy. Hands on you sir! Very very good!

[@tamapenetana]

Drums are hard when you begin but they get easier over time i play drums when i need to blow off steam or had a long day at school and when i need to practice lol

[@arthuryehuda7029]

:-)

[@tyfalagan]

My brother from another mother, LAWRENCE 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 he was classically trained from a very young age, representing PRINCETON ST EAST BOSTON 💯💯💯 we grew up LISTENING to him play almost every night

[@PrettyFinessa]

Lol yep since he was 5, that my cousin ❤ he’s not from East Boston though 😂 Dorchester first ! ❤❤❤❤

[@BoopSnoot]

This is by far the best street drummer I have ever seen, and I have seen none.

[@jaybird5001]

I love how this is like a "stream of consciousness" performance, I sincerely think he has no set routine, he just plays whatever beat that comes to mind

[@lawrencesullivan673]

indeed!

[@bryanboss1634]

Someone give him a real drum set 👍

[@bryanboss1634]

Varietygirl1 Wow who are you to comment here?

[@bryanboss1634]

Varietygirl1 Hi

[@bryanboss1634]

Varietygirl1 agreed

[@bryanboss1634]

Varietygirl1 Bye 😀

[@bryanboss1634]

Varietygirl1 JK 😀😀

[@xavierandrade2613]

I'm 27 now, I seen this when i was 14 and I still gotta come back to listen to the way he just does his thing

[@thedaydreamer7972]

Many great street drummbers out there, I think he has the most creative drum patterns Ive heard and flows insane,,,The transitions you cant teach,,,the drop at 4:04 is sick

[@PrettyFinessa]

He has been playing the drums since he was five years old. He also plays the saxophone, the piano, the guitar, engineers music, and produces music along with playing a number of other instruments. His name is Lawrence Sullivan. He was also on the Apollo. I think it was here it was I think I was like eight years old (98).

[@Professor_sVs]

Besides the talent and the determination of this guy, I love the fact that no matter what, he never stops :D his sticks can fall, not be the right ones, no matter, THE SHOW MUST GO ON ! One word: Briliant.

[@RockstarMarcus]

We need a 10 hour version of this guy. He is amazing

[@Phydoux2112]

I love these guys! Every time I see them, I always drop a few bucks into their buckets and I just love to watch them play. I could watch these guys for hours!

[@alecfleming3213]

Years later, I now put the guitar up, and got sticks. This guy really is one of the best on youtube!

[@FrankPCarpi]

The most amazing thing about this performance is the dirt cheap set of "drums" he's playing on. Imagine what he could do with a full set of real drums.

[@Jnasliun]

Pretty much the same.

Jonas Tautvydas Nasliunas Just like comparing Fire with Plasma huh?.

[@jasonbrown467]

if he could just get a real drum set, he could sell them for a good amount of crack money, then he can get high and go drum sitting in the gutters of a street beating on pots and pans, more videos of his talent will be made and we all win, really!!

[@lawrencesullivan673]

ill post a video of me playin real drums soon! i'll keep you guys posted.

[@frogg2581]

@@lawrencesullivan673 ayo bro you alive?

[@jessecacastillo3119]

OH GOSH! can't take it anymore, He's so good.

[@KartikKumar-np9tw]

Yup he is :D

[@TommyBrisbane]

agreed! :D

[@realtimeflow1221]

One of the things that you really have to appreciate about a video like this is that you can visibly see he is actually FEELING the music he's making.

[@nieldan11]

In 2023 I still come back and watch this video.

[@mansamusa6055]

He's very talented, but when u can't afford the real thing u use an alternative which in his case is buckets. Give him some credit for doing something constructive, atleast he's not robbing people.

[@samoolyadav3312]

ya ur right (Y)

[@santoscasimiro9088]

your freaking right

[@mansamusa6055]

Cuppy Face it's a lot worse things than robbing such as murder & rape. It's good to see a young person being creative, that's all I'm saying.

[@makaljaxan1064]

Damn right he's not robbing people. They're giving their money to him freely.

[@ConnorNorng]

That's racist. Lol.

[@mindscraped]

he needs to find a band . Some one who needs a great drummer . Excellent.

[@projectpunk706]

He makes more money doing street performances

[@alexmarler9464]

I agree he is awesome

[@fatalerror7899]

полностью согласен

[@TyRexDaQT]

Maaaan, every time I come back to this I realize how much of a piece of art it is!

[@may5588]

Prayers up for Lawrence. 🙏 Follow your dream kid. You got this. You can make this a career. Diligence. Don’t ever give up...😍

[@JustJo43]

If I book him for a wedding, will he wear a shirt?

[@Mrsbigpaenus]

I think the shirtless-ness is extra $$$

[@harris007]

U got married?

[@lawrencesullivan673]

yes i will sir, of course a shirt and tie if you like.

[@AkkiKL36]

Maybe your girl mi8 run away with him..

[@therealsnapboogie]

@@AkkiKL36 Of course he he would youre paying him.

[@erinbrown3514]

Imagine if he had a dollar for every "Like"...

[@erinbrown3514]

+Erin Brown he should...

[@Jonnyboy6667]

+Erin Brown well this video made 28,649.99 so he should probably be back on his feet

[@lucaspatrick542]

+Jonny DeMont Who, the videographer? I'm not sure he tracked down this performer after viral pay dirt.

[@pundah7084]

He would be a millionaire with over 19 million $$$

[@ryantimperley1048]

he could buy a drum kit lol

[@veganhunter4736]

Cool man..I remember when I was like the 301st viewer and now has over 17 million views makes me wanna cry :')

[@ANTheWhizkid]

This video is on the net for so long. keep it alive!!!!!!!

[@mrclagg77]

This guy kills it!!! Especially at 1:33. Awesome job

[@TyRexDaQT]

That transition at 4:00 though :0 😵

[@Chillazilla2]

This just goes to show that people can, and will, make music in any way that they can. Well done :)

[@pauloteixeira763]

The greater problem for haters is to understand that most of the so called "street drummers" are actual talented real musicians with skills and great tecnique. Good performance.

[@progers001g]

Lawrence is awesome! He has some serious talent. He's seeking a drum kit to get him back in action.

[@progers001g]

You can find him on that popular funding app.

[@PrettyFinessa]

What are you talking about ?

[@MrSurfdogs]

there are 851 people that don't have a clue..this dude is so sick!

[@edgarlugo5652]

Naaa bruh. I’ve only seen this video only now ? Talent at its best👏🏼

[@LHUPA]

Holly crap!!!!! Simply stunning! That Young man plays well drums with scrap! 1001 congratulations to that street artist!...

[@SavvySteak]

This guy has skills. Very Creative with his beats and does no cease to impress. Does not bore people with the same beat over and over.

[@tub3scr3am3r]

better than any drum solos i've seen in concerts!

[@quantomic1106]

Who needs drums if you have buckets?

[@SavennaZlatchkine]

And my fingers crossed! Bravo!

[@jessik1570]

This guy is lawrence sullivan , that has been playing for a long long time , very talented!!

[@Simpaticocontent]

They sell his drum kit at Home Depot! LOL on a serious note, this man deserves a career!

[@dailystupidshit]

imagine while he plays this, if some asian guys opened up into a choreographed kung fu fight perfect to the beat of the drums

[@kezo_fps]

There the Asians go, one upping everybody again!

[@mikeloder8411]

its amazing to see the talented street performers...If I had the money I would get him a drum set...he needs to be in a band!!

[@seansimon5235]

Hes got fast hands and got good talents Impressive

[@humanfromsomewhere]

sometimes I think that people are better with buckets than a true drum set. but he could also just use his talent on a drum set and then he'd probably be an extreme master and these guys should be famous.

[@user-tz6jl7qt8k]

It's not too hard to impress people who don't play drums.

[@PrettyFinessa]

he actually mastered the drums first, he plays many instruments

[@100GTAGUY]

+Te5la231 you're definitely not wrong there. I giggle when I see friends play drums in person, even if it's just a basic kick and snare pattern with some hi hat thrown on there. lol

[@imagainstnwo2814]

Just one word....... WOW!!!! I'm speachless!!!!

[@CheezeDipper]

Great understanding of rhythm. Great skill. Truly talented drummer.

[@Dayala92]

Awesome!! He should be featured on Ellen!!

[@DEEVENTUS]

imagine what he could do with some real drums :D

[@SuperZero1225]

he probably has a drum kit at home its just to much hassle to carry that around plus he wouldn't get as much money from playing on buckets

[@PKMain]

SuperZero1225 What if he doesn't have a "home" to go to :(

[@ThinkYeaah]

PK Kahugz he has money to get tattooes

[@andreagirolami6719]

[@janinedelapaz4840]

freakin' brilliant! can't help but just let my head bang back with the cool beat :)

[@RandomWWE1043]

With all that filming you were doing there I hope u gave him some money.

[@Julieculie]

Word! though he gave him a video with 12 million views and posted how to contact him for hire Id be happy with that too

[@brodyglasgow3442]

I think it's horrible when people talk shit about videos when more than half of y'all couldn't do half of this on anything. Drums or buckets and to think you clicked the video to watch it you must've been really interested or jug wanted to take time out of your worthless day to talk shit about somethan you can't do. Smh

[@DavidThomas-jj6vv]

So true bro

[@lawrencesullivan673]

thanks bro i appreciate you for that and i totally agree it def took hard work,sweat, tears,and practice to get to where im at today so thank you Mr. glasgow much love and respect kid!

You are one of the best street drummers I've seen so far! I can see how you have over 12 million views..That's whats up!

[@nuttmegg99]

if he was in a band, lol.

[@jasonbrown467]

he was in one, then they caught him stealing the bands profits to buy crack, this has happend three times with this guy now

[@therealawakener7]

Awesome stuff, but can he play anything by Paganini?

[@ChillFrost]

This is the first.... drum skills i've seen on youtube... revisiting the video...

[@herssonjaimes7218]

i used to play the drums with emty buckets when i was a kid, so much fun, have fun that's what life is about just have fun brother

[@McNab1986]

unless the feet are involved you can't class some an amazing drummer, drumming solely with your arms, doesn't take that long to get to a high level of talent. What makes drumming difficult to newbies is separating your arms and legs, so all four limbs can work independently. Saying that he does make a nice sound with the equipment he has in the video.

[@Slash8270]

Couldn't agree more

[@jdogmcnasty1980]

Agree 100%

[@stethechanman]

Good point but still awesome. Just proves you don't have to play a real kit to get an awesome sound.

[@Belchmaster41]

Ste Channon right, but it does take practice to get really good

[@jdogmcnasty1980]

oh i completely agree
