Celebrity Drum Solos - Tier List (part 2)

[@4instruments0talent]

Jacksepticeye was a metal drummer before he began doing KZbin. He talked about when he first got his e-kit.

[@doug2555]

Damn, I thought he just picked up drumming as a side hobby and happened to be good at it. No idea he had a drumming background

[@smalltownnickey]

I had no idea

[@tntfreddan3138]

@Viola Raised to the Ground (the band Jack played in) is on Spotify. Though with only 4 songs.

[@idonkat6097]

@@doug2555 in one of his videos Seán even showed an old photo of him with the other members of the band

[@fucker661]

No wonder he became a youtuber.

[@rct3isepic]

Jacksepticeye was actually a drummer in a band and got a degree in audio engineering before he was a youtuber. So him playing drums well isn't a big surprise

[@minhuang8848]

I just wish we got footage of him using a properly tuned (e)kit, I only ever see people dial in awful sounds when even a TD-4 can sound like a million bucks. Which is something that doesn't hold up in the context of the mix necessarily, but the clip here sounds so much worse for it.

[@realburglazofficial2613]

Also, since when do we class KZbinrs as ‘celebrities’?

[@rct3isepic]

@@realburglazofficial2613 well considering there's a small handful of them with more followers overall than traditional celebrities I'd say those ones count. Jacksepticeye being one of those few

[@fucker661]

Well is a strong word

[@Ohokk0]

@@fucker661 the right one though

[@founboy78]

Fun fact: in the movie drumline they actually tape the sticks to nick cannon's hand so he won't drop them.

[@rct3isepic]

I believe he said somewhere that it was less so he wouldn't drop them and more so he was always thinking about drums and was used to the grip

[@Potter5416]

He got destroyed by Eminem also

[@drummersnare6276]

@@rct3isepic what? Why would he need to tape sticks to his hands if he knew how to play drums

[@rct3isepic]

@@drummersnare6276 because he didn't know how to play drums. He did that to get used to the feel of having sticks in his hands

[@drummersnare6276]

@@rct3isepic i thought that guy meant that he was used to the grip but the tape was just so he’d get used to it which is still retarded because holding sticks is not difficult, I just saw a vid of nick cannon recently playing on a marching snare and it was complete trash. The guy is not a drummer like people think for some reason

[@Notimp0rtant523]

Garth Algar’s drumming in Wayne’s World was, in fact, the real deal. It was dubbed over in the studio for better sound, but he’s playing the solo as written in time in the shot

[@dedpoptart]

Dana carvey is a decent drummer irl

[@philipmartin708]

It can be seen here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/boLMZH17h9Keb6c

[@kingcosworth2643]

Yeah you can tell, zero cuts and all the little fills here and there match his movements.

[@realburglazofficial2613]

@@kingcosworth2643 also, Mike Myers and various other people on that production have confirmed it was legit.

[@kurtweeks6812]

Doesn't necessarily need to be for a video, but Fred Armisen has a Netflix special called Standup for Drummers where he plays on kits from each decade, in the respective styles of that decade. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't already, and showcases what he's capable of a little better.

[@ThatSockmonkey]

Fred can really play across genres too. I think he deserved a higher tier personally.

[@ceek16]

it’s not funny but it’s still worth a watch

[@FawleyJude]

The solo at the end of Whiplash was done by a New York studio guy who remained anonymous because it was a non-union gig and he didn't want to get in trouble with the union. This is according to Peter Erskine, who says he knows who did the solo but won't tell because of the union.

[@stephenirvine7445]

Bro, that “timing being off” in Fred Armisen’s battle was totally in time, if you just tap along to it, you can tell it’s a pause and it actually is pretty cool! I’d give Fred an A for it.

[@Simon-iy7mt]

@StephenIrvine Right? Unless he meant the J Dilla groove Questlove played at first? Wich of course is deliberate, as EMC surely knows. Either way, I replayed it and liked it even more the second time.

[@TheToastedTurkey]

Noticed how you sneakily bumped up Bruno to S tier. Justice.

[@reubenrozeyt5716]

1:06 I was waiting for someone to say "Not my Tempo"

[@TheLostCanyon]

Should review Jeremy Clarkson’s drumming from the old Top Gear 😂

[@createnewhandle_]

That was rough

[@drummerbraves]

How about the drum duet on the Tonight Show with Chad Smith and Will Ferrell although with Will his drum parts were played by Questlove.

I got my Everyone Loves Linda socks and wore them to Church on Sunday. You are right 😘 they are very comfortable!

[@christinashelby6083]

@@RedDogMamaHD Awesome! That was fast. They're great socks.

[@isaacr9893]

Cameron from modern family has some pretty good drum scenes in the show. He plays a gretsch broadkaster

[@deepfryerhouse6885]

When you said “little trouble there” I got flashbacks

[@JJ-hw4po]

Dana Carvey does actually play that drum part in Wayne's World despite movie shenanigans

[@nickbell8353]

I remember a Dana Carvey stand-up special where he plays both piano and guitar. The dude's got music chops.

[@Bubu567]

Dana played in a few unsuccessful bands before getting into comedy instead. He was, at least at one one time, 'professional'.

[@Marnie-hates-winter]

You can tell that Questlove guy has gotten to the point where the drum kit and sticks are just an extension of his body. I don't know much about drumming, but he looks like not just a professional drummer, but like an absolute master drummer to me. Why is he doing drum battles with amateurs?

[@duckman1863]

theres a clip i saw from whiplash of miles teller playing the final solo, but its recorded live from someones phone so theres no cuts or anything? he did pretty well i remember

[@tcthefish187]

Yet another BANGER of a video! The suspense is slowly building for the bass line reveal after beard video #69!

[@mirandagray3170]

Love these episodes man keep them coming

[@Tensen01]

The Wayne's world clip isn't edited. it's a single unedited take.

[@silly_sans101]

My middle school does a marching bad unit for Memorial Day, and I got put on the 16” bass drum. I obviously can’t see over it so when I was walking home one day after school, (I stayed after school to work on homework so the only people in the back field were “the cool kids”) I didn’t notice I was walking into the one of the garden areas, which are lower than the sidewalk, and I fell. I sprained my arm, cut my lip on my bass drum, and cut my knee up. I have low pain tolerance so I started crying, and all the cool kids laughed like it was a literal comedy show. It’s been 3 ish days and my lip is still swollen 250% of it’s normal size. The cuts in my knee have slightly healed up, and my arm is still black and blue. I came into drum line rehearsal today and the first thing my band director says is “I heard what happened, are you okay?” Contrary to popular belief, there was no “is the drum okay” and he just said “Kids are more important than drums, they can’t be replaced but drums can.”

[@thomaswharton4078]

i'm a big fan of the beard content. i've never played the drums. keep up the good work.

[@jamiewebber7485]

Dang, now I’m just wondering how good a movie’s drumming would have to be for you TO trust it. Great tier list by the way, I’ve always enjoyed Jacksepticeye’s drumming and its nice to see it get some more recognition. As I don’t think a lot of people talk about that talent of his.

[@speluncaphobia1996]

what about radar o'reilly's drumming in mash! hows that?

[@tunerimpala5658]

I’ve been gone so long EMC grew a beard

[@richkane1977]

One of my favorites to watch is the video of Buddy Rich vs Jerry Lewis.

[@reinbronsgeest3777]

I remember seeing Dana Carvey play along with U2 via satellite and he was in perfect sync. It was in an MTV awards show I think.

[@luistrevino3991]

Johnny Carson, Fred Astaire, Billy Bob Thornton, Bill Cosby and Jerry Lewis vs. Buddy Rich.

[@MrRyan3055]

Beard is looking good my dude!

[@elliusagi]

My screen is smeared with oily super-heal chapstick lotion every time I watch EMC. No, it's not me smooching the screen - I poke the chapstick on it but his lips are still super dry 😢

[@judecrawford2351]

Bruh the impractical jokers 💀💀💀

[@markerich170]

There's a good Dana Carvey drum solo video from SNL doing Church Lady

[@gretchman]

Definitely definitely check out Johnny Carson playing drums.

[@kennihilator]

will ferrell vs chad smith on the late show with jimmy fallon is a really good drum battle

[@fatboysgarage7984]

I know I was blown away by his cover of Unholy Confessions by Avenged Sevenfold. It was so close to the actual song (aside from his timing being a little fast on some of the double bass parts) but still a good 9/10 cover.

[@larslan1975]

That Thing You Do! (Tom Everett Scott)

[@flekkzo]

Why am I thinking of when Lars Ulrich drags up that famous McBrain guy on stage and they have a little drum battle. Does that count? McBrain has been on children’s programming in the UK. There are least used to be a video on KZbin.

[@Hurtydwarf]

Miles Teller had issues keeping tempo? So you'd say it wasnt quite your tempo?

[@ultimatedriversofmachinery]

Admission is the best one for sure. His timing wasn’t off either he was doing jazz motifs bro which take space

[@shealinbanta4169]

That one drummer had blue hair, and I also have blue hair as well

[@jujuonthatquan]

can you take a look at traditional bands like FamU and Bethune cookman

[@timmberr]

for a bit, JGL has some seriously good timing #steadybeat

[@johnthedropper7289]

For the Impractical Jokers one it was a punishment for losing that episode. But the teacher of the drum team agreed to it without telling the band also as a prank on them. He told them afterwards and they thought it was funny.

[@TheKitchenNinja]

Speaking of drum battles, can we get a little Animal vs Buddy Rich from the Muppet Show?

[@janeteggleston6978]

You have to check out the 8 bit drummer

[@oldguy445]

Johnny Carson, former host of the Tonight Show. Think there are a couple of clips out there.

[@toroxixty]

Dana carvey drumming in Wayne’s world was actually Dana playing they gave him the sticks and told him drum they tweaked a few sounds and that was the end result

[@hermanoff7520]

yeah Jack is a metal head maybe cuz he was a metal drummer and has a lot of experience.

[@robertkees6048]

I remember seeing Radar from MASH play the drums on one episode, he was solid, a jazzer. There's a bunch of celebs that play. Bill Burr plays pretty well. There's a clip of him at a Bohnam festival playing Led Zeppelins "For Your Life" from the Presence album, it's solid work but not a solo.

you should take a look at the anime called Given. if you haven't already

[@lewisgrant7622]

Tbh with jacksepticeye he had learned to play drums years before he’d done KZbin. But i think that video was the first time in years he’d played drums cause he couldn’t have a drum kit in his old house because of space and the area he lived in and noise

[@jeffgray1884]

Not celebrity related - and I don't know if anyone has suggested this yet - but 'The Adventures of Pete & Pete' put a lot of effort into the songs in their show but zero effort in getting the drums accurate.
