Best street drummer of Norway! Best drummer of his age? (Baard Kolstad @ Musikkfest Oslo 2010)

[@johnsharpe9338]

I'm heading to Norway to find this guy on a street corner just so I can tip him! Amazing! Love all his videos... And his samba grooves kill it!

[@PsykeShow]

He's in Leprous now - Once you find a show near you go for it! Such a musically treat! They're on top of their game in the prog metal scene. Soft vocals and insane complex musicianship.

[@leonardogorman8466]

i have watched this kid several times and cannot believe his unbelievable skill gifted gifted gifted,the next buddy rich,easy

[@davefolkrock]

i'd like to meet this guy and shake his hand and say..man,what a breath of fresh air..brilliant!!!

[@krieg8063]

This guy is next lvl drummer. NEXT LVL. The lvl 99% of us will never ever reach.

[@mrdude49]

This was a work of art. Every piece was planned. He takes his listeners on a journey (much like a song does). While I do agree that he would play incredibly well to other music too, I beg you to give this one more listen. As a drummer, I implore you to listen once more and look at it as a song in itself. :)

[@JackJonner]

Something like this always brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.

[@george_was_curious6710]

Later that year, Karl Johan legally changed his name to Baard Kolstad and started taking banjo lessons. He's now the lead banjo in the country band Leprous. They mostly play Billy Ray Cyrus covers.

[@prabhaghildiyal794]

dude karl johan is a street in norway, it's not his name lmao

[@TariqZainal]

Oh the faces you have to make while drumming. This guy is awesome.

[@RobbyWorld1]

It's the lucky band that lands this kid as their drummer!

[@letsplaybsgo]

This aged well

[@vahnn0]

Just watched another vid of this kid and stumbled into this one without knowing it's the same guy. Liking his style!

[@DRKLX]

Сразу больше захотелось узнать о Норвегии :)

[@AlterBridgefanc]

This guy performs often on streets, look other videos there are many of him when he was younger, i think it's him.

[@ghanthor]

Great day, great beer (expensive Heineken but never mind), great food and ONE HELL OF A DRUMMER!!!!!! Thanks for uploading

[@aidydrum]

[@gardadefier01]

goood man........good job!!!!!you are very good,man!---drumer from roumanie---

[@gootube3526]

Wow! He's incredible!

[@katechapman8620]

im sorry but how can anyonenot like that? the kid is amazing.

[@stiannb]

he is the drummer for both borknagar and leprous

[@ItalianAvalanche]

This kid is really good, and I wouldn't say he has any problems with "technicality" like a lot of people are saying in the comments, I just think he's trying to play a little outside of his comfort zone in terms of tempo. It can be good or bad. It's good if you're practicing by yourself, not so good if you're playing by yourself in front of a crowd!

[@timotje25]

this guy is my inspiration

[@annelineguerra8600]

ÉNORME!!!!!!! TU ASSURES GRAAAAAVE!!!!!!!!!

[@RTWrename]

He is going to be even better. I would love to be his producer

[@nathanielharrison7021]

[@mrpearl1]

Yes you are the best my friend. I would def tip your jar if I was there.

[@ambiman10]

Its like drum and bass minus the bass! He is freaking awsome.

[@MayloIZ]

5:14 that guy actually felt the beat more than the others xD

[@FauxTheGrif]

I like those faces he makes when he gets REALLY into it.

[@dtdionne]

It wouldn't let me past the link, sorry, but just search for: Baard Kolstad plays drums @ Karl Johan 02.07.11

[@daanvanderspek]

[@ARIloeyoe]

[@richardhuffman58]

He’s Amazing!!!!

[@drphdmd7064]

He's the drummer of Leprous, one of the most amazing progressive rock bands to be gifted to the world. Look up the song "Moon". Watch the version where you can see him drumming.

[@amandakerr3443]

Holy shit balls Batman.......now that is a drummer!!! Hell yeah baby hope u make it

[@duncanwestern9500]

NORWAY? NO WAY! AMAZING

[@geniuscrash66]

[@kittycat9612]

BEAST

[@borislawguetta1425]

Много е добър ! :)

[@streetfast234]

agree with you. it got a little out of controll sometimes too, but he is still a really good drummer!!:)

[@coltenandscott]

guy in back round with yellow shirt... he is so beautiful. i thought i just had to point that out. :0

[@fisher902]

the fact hes in norway sux cuz i wana have a shed with him, hes really good

[@spencerklammisstfo]

Lol I was literally about to say the same thing, that kid gets it haha

[@cbrpal]

More of this guy, search Baard Kolstad or street drumming oslo

[@solvesvall]

this kinda hurts to say as im swedish but this kid is crazy:O

[@goldmeistergeneral]

That guy at 5:13 is a complete tool

[@tfaaren]

goldmeistergeneral ikr...

[@samf56]

yah but when he mixes speed like this and stays on beat the whole time....that awesome...

[@ruivg727]

Very, very good.

[@fredrikstadmann]

Keeping the quarter notes for 1 1/2 hour on a stretch will make talent out of many.

[@filgrabian]

so great! :)

[@supernova20i23]

he is the best :) i like him when he play :)

[@accesoriosdeportivos2277]

los rulos que hace en el minuto 3:50 son espectaculares

[@dtdionne]

Noah, I get what ur saying, but check out some of his other stuff, as others have stated, he really is all that. This particular video doesn't have the masterful style shifting underpinnings that his best clips do. Try this one, make sure to select 720HD, it makes a big difference in the sound.

[@juliovevi]

0:40 the man in the yellow shirt also has rhythm xD

[@Fr3Aky9rUMm3RgiRL]

The man in yellow look's at him like " Why can't i play like this? "

[@peristeris3]

awesome

[@kylenang]

Best drummers tend to have one hell of a drum-face!

[@MuhammadSyafiqsimplebro]

his hands so fast,... awesome,...

[@amosioan]

Like, is not enough for this video !

[@bytor55110]

Ok, maybe you're right, but he's still a hell of a drummer.

[@kaleaherbert3850]

I believe that he is biting his tongue. Some people do that when they are concentrating. Not trying to be rude at all I loved this.

[@Sm4rtBoys]

that's a way to keep your hands busy :D

[@eveneeee]

and by the way, he is 18 in this video,

[@ivancirullo4180]

EXELENT HE HAVE A FUTURE!

[@elmendaki]

maestro ª!!!

[@Dwhite7]

laughed so hard at the guy in the yellow in the background XD

[@CHDunham123]

His jaw is poppin to its own beat 😁

[@runescape206]

The crowd looks exactly what you'd picture Norwegians to look like..

[@MrChung345]

i like that man in yellow shirt...he's so intrested.

[@osmness0697]

i see ur point but he still is a good drummer i gotta give him credit where credits due

[@hiddejan13]

Dude that comment made me lol lmao rofl and a whole bunch of other shit. Stay awesome man!

[@parmezans]

Holy shit that's a fast right leg!

[@Mikethh]

This kids fucking gnarly man, whaaatt!!!!

[@Restudrum]
