DudeThoughts: A Day in the Life of a Studio Musician

Dudes. My entire drumming career turned out to be an undercover mission to expose the clandestine practices of Nashville recording studios and the session musician henchmen they contain. Dude what you will with this hither to now top secret (and useless) information.
Filmed May 31st 2018 at the Rukkus Room recording studios in Nashville TN with the priceless help of James Black on utilities, Andrew Brown on bass, Ethan DuBois on the camera, Nick Gibbens engineering, Dylan Jones on keys, John Prentice on electric guitar, and Sarah Troy on the vocals.

Thanks especially to m'PatreoDudes and 'ettes who made this video possible and receive all manner of exclusive cuts from these sessions at www.patreon.com/harrymiree
[Here's where I ordinarily say tour dates are at www.HarryMiree.com but *heck*, nobody's going on stage for a while. Maximum health 'till then dudes.]

[@esburn7895]

They need to make a rockumentary about you and have Ryan Reynolds play you, and then call it Dudepool

[@drok7619]

You're todays internet winner.

[@jennsie13]

OMG YES!!!

[@joebrowser775]

Definitely! But it should have Harry play himself, that would be even more hilarious

[@GoneAfterMidnight]

@@joebrowser775 Ryan Reynolds is a far better Harry than Harry (completely joking)

[@graciasholmes8346]

Played by Jim Carrey doing his best McConauhey.

[@eastonotsae]

It's always a good day when Harry posts

[@maurice7186]

I agree. His last upload with Carter was 3 months ago and in that period, we've had major forest fires, nearly had WW3 and a pandemic outbreak. IMO, he needs to upload more, y'know for the sake of the world.

[@louisoddie4667]

more like a good month

[@Ramennoodles-_-83]

Yaaaaaaaas!

[@musicgaines7170]

Which is never

[@maziu27]

Yeah like once a year

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I still love you. Edit: This is the best video on the internet.

[@toms4888]

And I still love you both - Tom Stu

[@Gudebrothers]

No it's not. But, it's one of 'em!

[@ekumusicYT]

It is.

[@havvot948]

that bass solo clip at the end is the funniest thing ive seen in awhile.

[@aerobeatle426]

HAVVOT I felt personally attacked at that moment.

[@steelman774]

“Dude, Stop It! Stop!!” Hi-larious!

[@Dubickimus]

what was the song were they jamming to?

[@bracksampson1]

Bass players get no love.

[@deadshot4245]

pure gold

[@Quickies911]

And he's alive again...

[@bofranciscofilms]

This is like if Ryan Reynolds and Jim Carrey had a child who turned out to be a drummer 😂

[@graciasholmes8346]

Buauna Ball Music I think I just telepathically stole your thought.

[@tommynikon2283]

Roger that.

[@b.lukito6063]

more like jim carey & dave grohl

[@bobstar76]

On. the. dollar.

[@Homass]

Harry has one of the few channels that are worthy of millions of subscribers

[@mk_rexx]

Jurrasic Park theme dude

[@randywiedmer4656]

MK Rex but the Danny Elfman version

[@paperraincollective8115]

"Waking up any earlier than 1:30 PM just to tune my own drums would be an insult to the craft" lol that's gold.

[@JakeKokinsMusic]

Welcome Back Harry we missed you

[@musicgaines7170]

He's just going to take that long again

[@yessitsme6884]

Girlfriend came into the room wearing lingerie just as the notification popped up. Sorry girl, you'll have to shake it later, Harry just posted a video

[@charliewaffle4928]

Waiting 9 mins for 2 seems like a good deal

[@tommynikon2283]

You ARE strong willed!

[@mathisbenard1318]

Nice try, we all know drummers don't have gf

[@jukesjointOG]

A tall tale for sure...

[@tomszymusic]

The ONLY reason you wait to watch a video from Harry

[@MattMusicianX]

She thought she was gonna eat your Tostitos. What a gold digger.

[@poencho4935]

Matt Musician X ya mean corn digger? 🤔

[@1stCorinthians2_14]

This comment is gold

[@brookie2464]

She must be a corn star

[@alvinviklund]

"We can Pro Tools this, right?"

[@joebrowser775]

Alvin Viklund 😂 I didn’t catch that

[@GatoPaint]

this type of content its so ADHD tested,like everything happens so fast the moment you see something that stops grabbing you attention Harry drops another thing the second he loses you and BAM you're back at the video! top notch content right here ! love it haha

[@InstrumentManiac]

This is equal parts hilarious, extremely well put together, and fascinating. Dude you are a true legend. Those session folk are lucky to work with you!

[@stevealexander415]

As a producer of 13 years that was on the money 😂🤣

[@michaelcaplin8969]

Engineer and session musician here. Spot on! Also, so many good jokes and spoofs here, it's incredible!

[@marcoabyss]

before i was a producer, i was a session drummer too. it's good to see that songwriters are paying real drummers to sit in on sessions. nowadays, they just use (insert your favorite drum programs here). i got replaced by EZdrummer once.

[@wankamalstory]

Is certificate musics are needed when we be a drum session?

[@B3stfrend67]

"Its May 31" Holy shit he's posting videos that he hasn't filmed yet.

[@HomeStudioCorner]

Dude, I love you.

[@schaddalton]

"I've definitely heard songs shittier than this one." Nailed it.

[@mathumphreys]

The quality of your content is so much better than other channels and I love your sense of humour!

[@deltalink21]

Engineer here, this is amazing and too real

[@kintaro_f]

when humor and drum skills are way out of your league but you like to watch the dude anyway.

[@Stricknyne1]

Hilarious, I loved this! The kid on the guitar is killer. The line he plays at 8:14, just excellent.

[@Jonboyutube]

Another finely crafted and unnecessarily, but welcomely, articulate insight into the world of a drum dude.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Great... 5:51 just made me spray the water I had in my mouth on my laptop from laughter. Damn you, Bearded Truth

[@merleynprins9096]

the outro is the reason i'm going to survive quarantine, thanks my dude

[@jonashellborg8320]

That advice to keep drums as open as possible, to have the best range of sounds depending on studio was a great 5 second insight in a sea of hilariousness.

[@danieldruff6822]

Nice having you bring some light to our stay-at-home lives. This video had me going through all your older stuff too.. Watching you drum to Travis Barker really made me want you to post a similar video about drumming to Brad Hargreaves stuff - that man is so freaking creative. I can't be the only one who wants to see some Third Eye Blind goodness, dude.

[@coda8640]

This video deserves to be observed by the entire drum community

[@ampthebassplayer]

8:17 is too real for me.

[@donr8191]

Harry always produces the smiles we all need now !!

[@GamalielRios]

My favorite video so far.!

[@dukekevorkian1]

This is so great. As an old man who playned in Nville many years ago I am quite sure it is much more intense now than then.

[@RemyLeBleau]

I was just going over some old vids to get an overdue dose of The Dude™ and SHAZAM new video 32 minutes ago!?

[@samthyr]

...overdude?

[@sugarmatty338]

HOLY HELL ANOTHER UPLOAD AND YOU'RE ALIVE

[@tommynikon2283]

Dude- You deserve a fucking TV show, biopic, Movie, etc. (IF that was a goal.....) ABOUT YOU. You're a HIGHLY entertaining dude....ORIGINAL> AUTHENTIC...and mad on-camera chops. That deserve a much bigger audience. Harry- love your stuff, your patter, your stick patterns bro! HAPPY to catch an update from you. Seriously.

[@tuckerkarnes]

The editing on these videos is just outrageous. Really funny stuff, Harvey

[@mrtyreus0]

Oh boy. Dude. Harry Miree videos are rarer than gold. Thank you!!!

[@cyface]

Such a delightful video.

[@seanboyer256]

One of the best and funniest and most informative and Dudest youtubers ever. Soooo glad to see new content this year!

[@snarplaya]

You’re really good at making videos! Please don’t stop. I like your style, dude! 😎🤘🏼

[@codenamecatatonic8894]

Can’t wait air for the follow up album 😂 “Shake it shake it girl”

[@blakebowers09]

The continuity with the Tostitos endorsement cracked me up.

[@bdubgreene]

This is awesome!

[@michaelruffo86]

Gave it a thumbs up before I even watched because… Good to see new videos from you always Dude! Did not disappoint

[@Fudgedrums]

Amazing.

[@andrewgoulson]

I LOVE THIS

[@johnbarney6861]

I used to be a roadie for a band, and I went EVERYWHERE. And the favorite most FUNNEST job was setting and playing the drums on sound check. Man that was a BLAST. The 80's Were AWESOME. Times have been hard since the pandemic, and Getting cancer in the right femur, and the right hip after that. So Yeah Hip replacement, and Half femur is gone. BUT I WILL play again. Once I get another set of drums. Chemo and Stanford. Gets a little exp. But life, is more important than a set of drums. Then again. HOPE THE HELL you win. I voted. And ALL you all better do the same. Keep em coming. YOU ROCK BRO . OH BTW Next Chemo check is on the 18th. of May. I may be in remission. LETS HOPE. STAY SAFE ALL

[@HuGrooveScience]

This is absolutely incredible Harry! And very accurate great work bud!!

[@AXELIGHTS-lp1sk]

You are so so right, and that's coming from a bass player out of Detroit. Thank you Harry Miree

[@tallyjbud]

What a great video. Dude makes some killer production, funny ass, educational vids!

[@Centerpieceofmind]

Best video I've seen in awhile, thanks! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kevinjones5560]

Sadly, this is one of the most interesting videos I’ve watched this quarantine. I need to binge watch all of his videos.
