Hey thanks for all the love, friends!! Thanks Colby! ❤️

[@ColbyFultonDrums]

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@timczifrik7715]

awesome....!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@haytipatrayi2041]

Congratulations! What is the name of this drum please?

[@gabebabe1]

Dylan - I’ve watched this and other clips of you many times over many years - you’re amazing!

[@RianGalway193]

Amazing performance, lovely little Taye Go-Kit.. Keep up the great work.. From Ireland

[@benicetome5341]

He's an incredible drummer. He's of Samoan descent but was born and raised in New Zealand. He is currently and has been touring around the USA with the band blood sweat and tears. This solo took place in Wellington New Zealand during the rugby sevens competition hence why everybody is dressed up haha. Dylan has come a long way since then, he has matured and his solos just keep getting better and better. You should check out his video he done for Taylor Hawkins tribute, it's not his usual genre of playing but he did an awesome job with it.

[@TimTheMusicMan]

Thanks for the information I think those are the answers to the questions we all had after watching him !!!!

[@S7R86]

I didn't want to be Mr. Obvious, but I thought I saw Polynesians in the crowd. He's an awesome musician.

[@juancoetzee3376]

I am a drummer as well first time this man and must be one the best In the world great job well done

[@6670smck]

He's gotten better! Scary good

[@stas10278]

[@bewackerest]

I've played 50 yrs so I'm qualified to say this man is extraordinary! He's obviously put in the hours of practice needed to reach this level of excellence

[@madsnygaard6444]

Yeah - he´s awesome at commenting

[@benjaminblum9587]

He knows how to hold his sticks properly to get the proper response out of them! Love to see that from an old guy that still plays.

[@anarcocapitalista3700]

Absolutely epic!

[@mic01]

if you really played for 50 yrs as you say you did..you would have seen his mistakes.

[@AutisticRebel]

What!?!! Like... what? The guy was riffing... and it was astonishing! Absolutely breathtaking. The control and practice let alone the crazy stick work. Never seen anything like it!

[@ralphcotter7175]

This guy is one of the most incredible drummers I’ve ever heard and watched. And I’ve played with some crazy, talented drummers, and this guy is a breed of his own. Truly amazing. !!

[@kennethcapen3184]

I'm a percussionist, and, well At least I thought I was.😅 I'm speechless.

[@1bassman9]

I have never seen anything like that in my 72 year old life ! That drummers chops have chops ! WOW !!! Simply amazing !

[@canadianroot]

His playing is mesmerizing, but technical wizardry aside, I think it’s worth mentioning just how engaged that right foot was. His work on the kick drum was off the charts.

[@JK-zl7vv]

If any band was apart, they would snatch this guy up, imagine opening a gig with this guy, the whole audience would be pumped up, before the main event even started, he would bring up any concert to the next level. 😎👍⭐⭐⭐

[@mikestern2drumz]

Dylan's been playin withBlood,Sweat and Tears for a while now....👍 I've been in touch with him with Facebook since 2010... Supernice guy and such a heavyweight player..🤜🥁🤛

[@robertramsay8700]

This clip was recorded in Wellington NZ while a rugby tournament had just finished and the town was partying through the night. Mean drummer 💪🏾💯

[@mostyles328]

I was once a drum teacher... If I had him as a student, I would just take him out for a beer!

[@TRBOQUIK6]

Wow! The amount of dexterity, timing, rhythm, hand eye coordination, consistency, and speed is truly astounding!!! To be able to do multiple things with other appendages at the same time in sync is a feat that many can not do. Truly amazing skill. Well done!

[@treefrog3560]

Yeah he is the best

[@tascrphs]

It's a feat less than 1/10 of 1% of the world population can do... As another person said, he's a prodigy. Just incredibly gifted, but he's honed his gift to be even more spectacular.

[@tcusdin]

I was told of Dylan even before this solo was done. My drum mentor who had 40 years of drum experience pretty much summed up Dylan like this: this guy drinks drumming, he eats drumming, he sleeps drumming and he shits drumming.

[@franushbloodaxe6408]

Dylan used to practice at the same rooms we used. He and his family would spend whole 8 hour days rehearsing his drumming. He certainly put in the hours. Proud of our local kiwi lad. Made me feel like a total amateur after 30 years drumming.

[@123oner2]

Dylan has been killing it since the early days of youtube. When a drummer can develop a solo like this with great musicality, you know they're next level

[@K.J.734]

Dylan Elese, another drummer who makes me want to turn my drumsticks into kindling wood. So fluid & can play ANY style like he was naturally born to do so... Amazing talent. 🤟🔥🥁🔥🤟

[@spicisnice-itsallabouttast7629]

😂 I feel the same when I see guys like him ! But never give up !

[@jameshicks7125]

Yoni Madar is that drummer for me. I don't know if I should quit or reinvent myself.

[@michaelrogers1891]

In the drum world, he is all alone at the top. No one has ever gotten to where he is with his solos!

[@JackSparrow-yb3lq]

I wouldn't worry most of this is beyond what any band could ever use, want, or need. He is an amazing talent but I am struggling to imagine what context this beat would be appropriate. It would be an absolutely hectic pace for any band to keep up with or any listener to engage with. There are all kinds of exotic cars that can put up insane numbers for speed, acceleration, etc, but a Corvette can deliver more than enough performance and style for any driver. That isn't saying though that there isn't something special about a McClaren or Ferrari.

[@hokimoki3677]

​@@michaelrogers1891exactly, i taught him well

[@flipnap2112]

sick. this is more than just practice. this is mind, body and spirit working together. that was magical.people didnt stop to listen, they simply couldn't leave.

[@elmhurst86]

They couldn't leave because he was shirtless.

[@jjwood69]

Thats why i stayed. Body of a chiseled greek god. 😂​@@elmhurst86

[@coquifrog]

I have not seen him before. I love his dancing unique off-rhythms early on and his genuine flow. He knows how to build momentum for sure. He caught the energy wave of the crowd and energized the whole space.

[@tommydanger60]

I found him years ago, total beast! His drumming, hand coordination and showmanship are incredible.

[@scottywatson5405]

Yes, very true. I totally agree.

[@nevada150]

I saw him live at Jazz in the Park, Auckland shortly before he left for USA. He didn’t disappoint! Keith.

[@yodrewtube]

Being a musician, sometimes you step into that universal flow & it beams from you perfectly, no thinking, just flowing. And what you experience is astounding ! The natural high! It looks like this guy stepped in…💫

[@z.1628]

Exactly...

[@suemasongreen8979]

WOW !!!!! BLOWN AWAY !! THIS GUY IS AMAZING !

[@OopsOMG]

It was gratifying to see that most of the people around him were concentrating on watching rather than recording with their cell phones.

[@ludovicm.1848]

One of the best drummers on this planet today. Been following him for 15 years, since his debut solo when he was only 16 yo

[@yosefkap]

Yea they 1st solo at 16 years old is PHENOMENAL!

[@guillermogallardo2936]

Nahh, het got grooves but he's nowhere near yussef dayes which is currently the best i know

[@redavis6581]

This is the old skool jazz, swing rock that this world has been missing for so long. Buddy Rich, Keith Moon, Neil Peart, and John Bonham would be proud of you, son 💯

[@konciliogasco3324]

I scrolled the comments just for this type of response and I couldn't agree more Cheers!!!

[@fogwalker4803]

You can tell next level drummers by many signs.And recognize the 10's of thousands of hours of practice that very obviously have been spent. But the most telling...is their ability to make mood & music with drums. Just spellbinding Dylan !

[@mduna23]

I'm a Bass Player from New Zealand and I Played a few gigs with Dylan when he was in is early 20s. He's probably around the same age here. I think this was done in Wellington, New Zealand at the Rugby sevens tournament/Festival, hence the dress ups in the crowd. Dylan would be around 30 now, living and working in the USA for several years. Yes touring with Blood Sweat & Tears. On top of his obvious talent he is an incredible sight reader and a fantastic Person. Glad you found him.

[@richholder201]

Wow, his chops are phenomenal. The crowd certainly got a treat.

[@U2WB]

Yeah, I've been following Dylan for a few years now. He's amazing. And I agree, he makes me realize I'll never even approach that level of talent.

[@zetamale7952]

The original video was released in 2011 and I come back to watch it at least once a year since then, he's been for sure one of my inspirations as a musician

[@alegitimateonlinebusiness3133]

Yes, Dylan is world-class in any style he plays...been watching him for five years or more and been playing for over 40 years myself....love his technique

[@sbpeeps007]

Dylan Elise from my home town Wainui, played rugby with my little brother growing up. He's been at them drums for a long time 👍 was good to see him play on the streets during 7s.

[@dennistowerofpower5808]

Absolutely amazing what a joy to watch. the drive and the stamina yet he makes it look like a walk in the park! Love how the crowd was mesmerized….

[@MorellioBenoir]

It takes a lot of strength to put yourself on the street in front of a crowd, not only does he have some chops, he has balls of steel. Respect!

I’m 63. I discovered this guy on KZbin yesterday. In less than half a day he’s become my favourite drummer. Move over Virgil haha. His musicality and taste for the MUSIC stand out. Check him out with Jeff lorber at the baked potato ❤

When your hands move like hummingbird wings, you've definitely accomplished something most will never experience.

[@murrayforsdyke5634]

This is in New Zealand outside the anz bank on the rugby sevens champs. I was there. Dylan was the drummer in my band Alive and Dangerous thin lizzy tribute. This was his first full performing band.... He is busking... He was a regular at this spot...

[@kearneydillon4803]

Guys like him keep me having my dream of dive bar gigs. In my 37 yrs of playing, I bet he surpassed me within a year of starting. Like I said, at least I got dive bars to look forward to.....

First, thank you to the Colby not constantly stopping video as to mess up the sound and flow of this fantastic drummer. Great reaction video.

[@allanpolk2681]

I’ve been watching Dylan for about ten years. The first time I saw him on KZbin, he was just 16 years old competing in a drumming contest. His performance blew me away, and he has progressively gotten better and better. Not only does he have flawless rhythm, but does catchy tasteful phrases and breaks, all the while throwing in little syncopated riffs that almost goes unnoticed. He is technically one of the finest drummers I’ve ever seen.

[@nforne]

I watched him from the early days too but I felt he lost a lot of his agility when he bulked up his muscles.

[@manuelflick7212]

An amazing talent and it almost looks like he's playing on a toy drum kit, the bass drum is tiny! He proves that talent is sooo much more important than equipment.

[@edgenovese]

Probably one of the most natural talents ever on this instrument. Can you imagine if he had studied with Dave Weckl or BR? Or Vinnie? Please. He been a Phenom for years. God bless. He's earned his place...

[@ppaton3553]

From hearing him play and watching his technical skills I can bet he started with a drum and bugle corp, he is on point and is excellent at his skill level. Great video and cheers :)
