Yeah... what the hell

[@adofonconi9753]

That's why he's got 600k views and only 2k likes. That's consistent with a 9 minute solo by a sloppy drummer, when everyone knows that ANY drum solo made in front of a crowd gets boring after 30 seconds. Even if you're John Bonham.

[@kindbeats]

This cat isn't even remotely close to the "worst drummer ever". If anything, this kid should be praised for having the balls to get up in front of people and dedicate a solo to his late friend.

[@baileyragan326]

+StanlyCamChmpion ok but you realize this title was made to get him attention. He had a few moments where his rhythm was sloppy (mostly when he was playing double bass and taking off his shirt) but you only think it's shit bc the title said it was shit so you had yourself convinced it was. Either that or you want people to think you could do better. Also maybe you don't see how good it is bc you mistake the outlandish, intricate syncopated beats as "no timing" but only someone who has no drumming experience could mistake the two. And idk how much more variety someone can have, he has syncopated beats, straight forward beats, ram-fests, grooves, double bass licks, tom runs, cymbal breaks. So yeah, I just think you're being unfair bc this is really good

His timing is off in parts and he is slightly sloppy here and there but.....overall this guys got a fair amount of serious talent. I sincerely enjoyed every moment of his solo.

understand people - the title of this video is designed to get views - it is not a description of the drummer in this video.

[@ethanjames1213]

I'm a drummer, so I came on KZbin to find good drummers, to see their technique. I came across this and thought it would be funny to watch. But.....DAMN, This guy is da bomb. And the fact that he goes on stage to do it. I do the same and it ain't easy. WHY DO PEOPLE THINK DRUMMING IS EASY?!?! IT IS ACTUALLY QUITE HARD AND TIRING!

[@mcsparks7634]

+MCsparks I knew it was a joke but it is true that people think that drums are easy, Just felt like saying that :)

[@bibby42]

+MCsparks I have no clue why anybody would say that. I wanted to play drums because of the movie "that thing you do" Tom Everett Scott made it look so cool and easy but when I actually tried to play them for the first time I realized I just had no rhythm for it. So... I took up guitar and haven't looked back.

He's not a bad drummer, he just isn't a very good composer. He can play, what he playing just doesn't sound that great.

[@sherpajones]

Agreed.

[@FusicPool]

Shayded true, but all in all most drum solos people don't like because drums don't stand all that well on their own in my opinion, in coming hate comments.

[@sherpajones]

supercrusher9000 that is because most drum solos lack composition. You can play a really compelling solo if you know how to compose something and not just throw a bunch of chops together.

[@jjjmanyo]

[@adammartin8026]

That kit sounds incredible

[@vicentehizon6202]

Lowering our expectations for us to be completely blown away. GENIUS!

[@GamingDrummer89]

Don't see what the problem is. He seems like an overall solid player with a pretty good set of beats and fills. Only thing is that when he changes up his patterns, he instantaneously changes the tempo, so the structure and transitions could use some work. The audio also isn't the best. Still, nowhere near a bad drummer, let alone the worst ever.

[@GamingDrummer89]

Well, tuning is very subjective, even within the field of certain styles of music. Plus, the camera could be mostly to blame for the weird sound.

[@erichopkins7200]

Have to agree, I was expecting the worse drummer ever but this really isn't bad drumming at all.

[@mastedja]

the tuning sound weird because we hear it directly from the drum, not from the master speaker (thru mixer)

[@GamingDrummer89]

Fransiscus Tedja Lol I kinda guessed that. Unless your camera has a REALLY good mic, loud instruments usually sound pretty bad.

[@Michael-iw2me]

Matt W yes his tuning probably was in high med tuning but yeah his camera sounds werid not the drum

[@pascalschulz5894]

Lol, expected Lars Ulrich in this video

[@trashedbodomguy]

I meant because he is in almost every "terrible drummer" video..

[@omrikurtz5981]

mike newbill Metallica's drummer and guitarist aren't all that great. The fact that it's their job, doesn't mean they're good. One Direction get paid too. Lars get too repetitive sometimes, and most of his "good" things aren't shown, especially not in their late albums. Kirk is just too chromatic and consistent. He need to maybe just sometimes 'slip out' of his Em scale, and hop on some other ones, with some more interesting licks.

[@trashedbodomguy]

[@yogengrg7690]

he is good, the one who is the worst drummer is none other than our famous and well known drummer also known as Lars Ulrich...:P

[@TheProgGuy]

Lars can double bass. I can't, therefore I'm the worst.

[@yogengrg7690]

well he can play double bass but that don't necessarily mean that he plays well hence , most of us say that Lars can't play double bass.:D P.S, he is the worst famous drummer in metal music industry.Assess fairly. I don't want to be rude or offend anybody but he simply can't play double bass properly.

[@TheYasill]

And Travis Barker

[@yogengrg7690]

***** 1.of course I'm fully aware of it, they are among the pioneers of trash metal and their old songs were, are and will forever be masterpiece 2. Lars Ulrich is the founder of metallica, he even came up with names and is equally responsible for almost all of their songs compositions alongside hetfield so firing him is totally out of the question even Kirk was not original member (even Newstead) and Robert as we all know, is the newest member among all of them. 3.I'm a metalhead and Pantera was and will always be my no.1 band and Dime my no.1 guitar is- *Rest in peace Dime brother-* 4.Even now I still listen to Metallica's old songs and man I still headbang alone in my bedroom (it's always awesome), but my comment is based on how Lars is as a drummer NOW*, not before . he created some of the masterpiece back in 80s and 90s and I love that but it's sad to see him and Metallica not being what they used to. Now, don't say that they're aging which is correct but others bands like anthrax, slayer, Megadeth are still going at it and some of them have even brought new exciting turns and flavors into their music but I've not being into their music since reload album I mean you can hear it for yourself, It's sad for me to say this but Metallica has been degrading. anyways Lars can't improvise as per needed for band, even there's a video where even Lars get pissed off at himself for not being able to bring something fresh and new element to song composition. I don't mean to be rude but this is the reality, he is in the back of the line when compared to others drummers of both his age and younger ones and he has become really sloppy over these years and Metallica items doesn't sound anywhere near like trash metal but this can be an issue only with me. Judge fairly. \m/

[@locke180]

Double bass isn't that hard

[@garrettbrown6770]

He's a great soloist. He has sold time feel(until he changes the theme of the solo), he can apply rudiments to his drumming, he knows how to give it a pulse and a theme that changes which are two huge aspects of soloing itself.. He's awesome. Anybody that can't see that objective doesn't the concepts of drumming or soloing. He's got great chops

Being as you said, not an expert, you might miss a few things. As a musician of 30 years and a drummer of 20 years, I can see a whole lot. His playing is not terrible, but it is lacking dynamic, style and feel. It is just a lot of rote chops that don't really say or mean anything expressive.

This video should be taken off line for a deceptive title: It is clear to most that I am the world's worst drummer! I get paid NOT to play in public...so there!

[@dgrren]

Not the most creative solo by any means, but this guy definitely has skills! Dropping your stick 30 seconds into the solo is never a good sign though. Then again I have also seen Brian Blade drop a stick 30 seconds into his performance as well, it happens to the best of us. At least he had more sticks to grab. It amazes me to watch professional drummers who do not have extra sticks handy. For the record, Lars is completely overrated, but as a band, Metallica rules! Also for the record, the worst drummer is the one who is too afraid to play in front of a crowd, and especially in front of a camera!
