Drum Teacher Reacts: Steve Moore - 'This Drummer Is At The Wrong Gig'

[@themaddrummerofficial]

I appreciate the upload brother. Glad you get a kick from it. Working on getting some "serious" videos out very soon (I've since left that band).

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I genuinely love this video man. It went viral for a reason. It's damn entertaining and you still nailed the time through all that! All the best brother!

[@timhicks3602]

Steve - love your version of wipeout with the second break with the double time bass kick and half time snare! Champion mate

[@markdemell3717]

There is nothing that I could say that has not been said all ready , I give you three thumbs up and a salute you madman. Take care and be good.

[@jmullentech]

Drummers don't get enough respect. You fucking NAILED THAT shit dude!!! Well played!

[@saltygh0st124]

That level of showmanship while keeping great timing shows the hard work and dedication you've put in at the kit. Didn't know it at the time, but as a kid, maybe 10 years old, had access to my older metal head cousin's cassette tapes where I'd play Dofka's Toxic Wasteland over and over, only realizing a few years ago you were part of that band at one point..... but anyway, I look forward to anything serious or fun you're part of in the future. Maybe one of these days get to see you play live and sign a drumhead to frame for my music wall. :) Cheers!

[@derekwalker4622]

Right gig, wrong gig...don't matter, this drummer is THE GIG....obviously!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

YUP! HAHA

[@TheLynneee]

Move over Keith Moon!

[@Kholdaimon]

Indeed! Imagine the snoozefest if that drummer just sat there playing the drums... That song is soooooooo repetitive and boring... ;-)

[@KenjaTimu]

What they meant by wrong gig was that he's too good for the rest of that band.

[@doyouwanttogivemelekiss3097]

All we know is that he is known as "the Gig"

[@trainguy1017]

He's an absolutely hilarious drummer. Not to mention the fact that he's ridiculously talented! He can goof around like that and still keep perfect time and keep the drum part to being exactly what it is supposed to be.

SO GOOD

Not only is Steve outrageously talented, he's a great human being as well. I've been playing for half a century, and I'm not even close to his level without the threatrics.

[@the-pixel-whisperer]

Cheers to you for being kind. That video was meant to be fun, and you took it the right way.

[@Draghenn]

I thought that was amazing. It looked like he was just flailing about randomly but every move he made kept the timing and the beat spot on. Honestly that takes some talent.

[@peterkelley6344]

What makes the sub-video so good is that the drummer NEVER misses a beat. Whkcn shows a level of great confidence in the drummer.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Michael!

[@josetamez6970]

That's just it, you can't do all those extra entertaining moves without having the drums done technically proficient and done right first. All that shit goes out the window if you don't have the timing and play the song like the record or close to it. This guys has excellent timing and swing and he not only plays the song like the record but does it his own way. He's at the right gig because he's entertaining while playing and awesome set of drums. He's an excellent showman and a really good drummer, period. I have much respect for this guy because he's original and he's having fun. He's adding a visual appeal on top of his drum playing and sound.

[@Jmvars]

He's not at the wrong gig because he is the gig.

[@mikejones8866]

The art of being flashy without overplaying. So entertaining!

[@terrorizedmars8922]

Seen Steve about 40 times he’s amazing I live right next to knoebels where this show was.

have you done "the mad drummer at WOODSTICK"? its this guy at a drum festival (with the name being a pun on woodstock). he does a 5 min solo where he starts with some pianissimo stuff and builds something more artistic than one might expect. he's a fine drummer and humble too. there is a 30 sec interview with him where he mentions the "wrong gig" video being the only reason that he's gotten to meet his heroes.

Steve Moore as an entertainer performed a successful show in this video. His focus on performance art is reminiscent of Gene Krupa who was the first "famous" drummer. Krupa is probably best known for popularizing the drum solo but he was foremost an entertainer. Check out Steve Moore's latest KZbin offerings. He is also a great technician. His double kick drum work is outstanding.

[@jedisith3864]

To stay rock solid in the pocket like that you need chops. Solid chops. To goof off and keep it there? That is top shelf talent.

I'm not a drummer, I'm a learning guitar player, I'm probably not into learning drums. However, a good drummer is the very important groove of any band, and this guy was no exception.
