Drum Teacher Reacts: 'BEST DRUMMER EVER' | Street/Bucket Drumming! (2020 Reaction)

[@0Aidan0Lynch0]

Im a normal guy that has no knowledge of drumming at all. I dont care about his technique he entertained me like no other Drummer in a Band could ever. Really fun to watch and even greater to hear:D

[@ThisIsNeccessary]

Even the pigeon was grooving

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

😂🥁👌

[@doodlemoogles9325]

did u not get from sssniperwolfs vid :/

[@red_five1542]

We have to love how hw is using the pavement stones as a snare! And he is getting perfect tone and pitch the whole time!

[@darrylbennett4297]

He reminds me of a drum line drummer especially with the flare that he plays with without losing time. He’s really good and groovy

[@odomisan]

I remember him just starting out with just 2 buckets, and one of them he sat on. There were times that he didn't even had a bucket, he would just make music out of everything around him on the subway platform, the garbage can, the metal signs, etc.

[@tobiasrottenboypersson]

Once played a gig on a tiny stage with an even tinier drum stage/riser. Had my tom toms on a stand with one or two cymbals attached to it as well. In the middle of one song the whole stand fell off the drum stage and started tipping backwards so I had to take a dive over the drums to save it from crashing to the ground. The rest of the gig a friend of mine was forced to sit on the edge in front of the tom stand to keep it from falling again haha.

[@MDUBE5999]

WOW!! I saw him b4 Great rhythm, timing and idealistic ideas he has. As to drums moving. Had a bassist that was plastered fell into the kit and he was caught in it. It was perfect for the time being. lolz. Thanks for sharing.

In New York we call them 'pots and pans drummers' they are often in the subways. fantastic talent.

oh yeah i remember watching this 3 years ago. Legendary video legendary preformance

[@DaniM3tro803]

5:47🤯 those drums!!!

[@Dang3rMouSe]

We used to have alot of bucket drummers here in DC, ecspecially when the gogo scene was huge. Still see them around making some tips here & there

[@xRamZx]

Indeed that was a whole different box o'frogs. Street performers gotta perform, and he did great.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

EXACTLY! Gotta entertain :)

[@cosmicraysshotsintothelight]

Wow... good critique, man. He was getting like 6 different sounds from that one bucket alone. I am surprised he didn't have an Aluminum turkey pan for a metal thud sound, like a dull symbol or something. It was really good, and it is certain that he is a real drummer too, but I agree that he was doing standard stuff, but one can only do a limited set of things with that 'kit'. What was that at the end? 64ths?

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup he's smashin it! Need to see more of him

[@andrewmccormack4295]

[@Bill_pierre]

Checking in from Washington State US, though I'd love to move to NZ!

[@MooChimp]

I've wanted to learn the drums for a really long time... Due to neighbors , an acoustic kit is sort of out of the question for home... And also - space is even a bit of an issue for an electric kit... But I think it could work somehow. Do you have any advice? For example, should I just go to have a drum lesson without even a plan of getting a kit just to see how it goes? How essential do you think it is early on in the journey to have a kit to practice on at home between weekly lessons ? Thanks, appreciate any feedback!

[@scyphe]

As far as him doing that drum routine, it wasn't mindbogglingly technical since it was pretty much 16th notes in a straight 4-beat which is just fine. What makes it really good/fun is the creativity of using buckets (and lifting the "bass drum" with his foot) and being entertaining with his stick gymnastics without dropping the stick even once on a street somewhere in a city.

From Bristol, U.K. When we were allowed out, seeing guys like this playing in the town centre was very common on a Saturday or Sunday. A few really good players around Temple Meads Station too. Its a very musically diverse city, and I love living here!

I hope you've seen his video, think its the same guy, where he is just using 1 bucket lol, amazing

[@kevingold1091]

Anyone know what happened to Gordo's youtube channel? (kzbin.info)? It seems youtube just "disappeared" it, no indication that it ever even existed, nor why it was deleted. Which is bad enough for the creator, and absolutely rude and an inexcusable thing to do to all of yt's users: Tell us it was removed, and preferably why it was removed. Reminds me of the kind of move a dictator would do to someone that got on his bad side... Come to think of it...

[@Internetindividual07]

Hacked by people claiming to be the company responsible for the currency XRP (I think that’s the name). He is trying to get it back. They started by deleting his content, replacing it with their live stream. Then, once the stream was over, they deleted the channel.

[@kevingold1091]

@@Internetindividual07 Thanks Crash. Wonder what they were trying to accomplish by hacking his channel?

[@Internetindividual07]

@@kevingold1091 They are scammers from what I've heard. I think they try to get you to send them crypto. I don't know the full story tho

[@kevingold1091]

@@Internetindividual07 It seems situations like this happen pretty often, and I think KZbin needs to come up with a better way of handling them that is fair to both the creator and his subscribers. How does a re-instated KZbinr even let his (former) subs know he's back on-line? Seems to me like that's a critical element of restoring a creator's channel. (And I'm thinking there may be a Reddit sub for discussions exactly like this one is turning out to be.)

Andrew, did you ever watch any of the videos of the Japanese girl Yoyoka playing drum covers? She's an amazing talent and watching her play Led Zeppelins "Good Times Bad Times" when she's 8 is mind-blowing. She's done many videos that are just a joy to watch.

[@DirtCheapFU]

The critique of basic performance. When I look at street performs I give them the Bruce Lee grade. Am I impressed with a Performer who knows 100 routines or a Performer that has done 1 routine 100 times. What he's drumming is the kind of drumming I did in the back classes. Or when I'm bored. But it's the spectacle.
