I've been drumming for fifteen years. When I watch this dude play I feel like I did when I first started. The most amazing drummer I've ever seen.

[@stevefarrington5618]

Thomas lang is another drummer that you need to check out or portnoy yes, this guy is really good. I would place him in their category of a skilled drummer

[@tristantheuerkorn5124]

Let me ad Marco Minnemann, Simon Phillips, Gavin Harrison, Dave Weckl, Gergö Borlai and Akira Jimbo...just to name a few...🤗

[@grahamharris8906]

100% how so accurate when playing that fast . and his timing is outrageously good

[@gusdrives8421]

The late great Buddy Rich stated on the Johnny Carson show that Dylan Elise was probably one of the best drummers he heard when Blood Sweat and Tears first started out

[@jackfetter]

Can't get much better! Speed, technique, ,dynamics, feel and stick tricks to boot, this guy is on another level...

[@giulioferro8550]

E' un CAPOLAVORO ! La velocità, la Dinamica, Il Fraseggio, Interpretazione, Il Volteggio e Gioco delle Bacchette, SPETTACOLARE !!!

[@keestel6975]

Watching this man play is like watching a fireworks display. And his grand finale is never disappointing.

[@Dylanthedrummerguy]

Kees Tel haha thanks so much Kees!

[@josuesantiago6363]

Buddy Rich use to be my favorite until I saw this video omg Dylan your a freakin beast 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Shepthebassman91]

His switch from match to traditional grip is masterful and he is so effortless!

[@SpammerOvTheGods]

beyond his skills - which approach terrifying - he seems to be a master at tuning his drums. Seriously, that's one of the most beautiful sounding kits I've ever heard.

[@aschiavello07]

SpammerOvTheGods I’ve been playing since the age of 4, and can keep up with the best of them. Tuning the drums while you’re playing? INSANE! And yes.... his set sounds perfect.

[@theun-knownmusician5468]

A Schiavello I’ve been doing since I was 5 I’m 13

[@DavidKrautscheid]

then you never heard a steambend or true solid drumkit. nothing compares to a sound of a true solid drumkit. Yes the kit in this video sounds great

[@keestel6975]

He is never satisfied about the sound. He always tunes his drums while he plays! 😂

[@stp8103]

I have never heard DW's sound so good !!

[@jamesmcseattle]

My nightly routine to watch Dylan play the drums. Proof that hard work pays off!

[@SEBBASS]

Dylan, you're my number one HeartDrummer. Power, Endurance, Speed, Efficiency, Creativity, Finesse, Address, Kindness, and physically it manages. In summary, you're a Drum Genius, and it's always a treat to see you play !!! SEBBASS (FRANCE) 👍👌 👏👏👏👏😉

[@Dylanthedrummerguy]

Thanks so much man!! 🙏🏽

[@pavelkashin1533]

Master Dylan Elise from New Zealand, who has no equa !!! Great Master !!!

[@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel]

This was very inspiring. I haven't felt like playing drums for a while, but after watching this, I took the blanket off of my set and spent 20-30 minutes just having fun and trying to explore some neglected ideas. Thanks. 👍

[@Dylanthedrummerguy]

Thanks so much man. I’m so happy to hear that! I love getting inspiration watching other drummers and inspiring drummers myself! Happy practicing!

[@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel]

@@Dylanthedrummerguy 👍 🥁

[@bsbsbssbsnsnsn6025]

such a underrated drummer, Dylan is my biggest inspirational..i play drums too, soo yea

[@dannyboy1779]

He's not underrated?? Far from it bro because there's no one good enough to rate him against?? Lol He is probably & most likely, the GREATEST percussionist there is and has been in recent years...

[@cowzilla8]

@@dannyboy1779 He still feels underrated to me. When I see people say who they think is the best/greatest/favorite, his name very rarely ever comes up.

[@matthewdouglas1567]

Best drummer in the world right there guys.

[@michaelromine8842]

Matthew McGinley. not even close. what is it with you types and stupid best in the world pronouncements. All that means is you don't know much about great musicians.

[@joshlewis5065]

Glad to see you on YT again!! Please keep em coming!

[@frankalfar]

Been following this amazing drummer since his very first video, he is phenomenal!!!!

[@danielroik6065]

I alway's like this when someone, look's for new i dear's, long live Drum's, & people like This that make Drum's, sound's So Good & Unique, Thank's Dylan Elise, From New Zealand. my Respect sent from Australia.

[@TheArrogantMonk]

Do yourselves a favor and use headphones. Adds so much to the experience to hear the position of each drum

[@OrangeSunshine2]

Pat Black absolutely correct

[@benicetome5341]

his drumming is so musical. that was incredible bro! 👍👌

[@kevinreed3983]

When i saw this dude play !!!!!, Chen hit the floor read to sale my kit damn Robo/tech has got a hand everywhere !!!, lol badasssss

[@cynthiasamuel4704]

This man definitely deserves TOTAL respect !!!!! The BEST drummer I have ever seen in my life !!!! I am left speechless every single time!!! OMG!!!!

[@reedsmusic7589]

Subscribed. Thank you for uploading this. You're incredibly talented. God bless you!

[@John-fc7wc]

I saw you perform today in Eustis, Florida with Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Your playing is jaw dropping, your execution of the original material was flawless and creative, you really made those drum parts your own. Everyone in the band was phenomenal, by the way. I felt privileged to attend this free outdoor concert. I'm short of ashamed (as a 59 year old drummer) that I've never heard of you before today, your skill level is off the charts, I knew immediately I was witnessing someone special. Thanks for the great time!

[@Dylanthedrummerguy]

Thanks so much! We hope to make it back there when this is all over!

[@rb5stevenumber903]

Amazing. Just watched you here, was always a big Carl Palmer fan, but he has to move over for you. I'm a drummer myself, so I appreciate your skill, technical ability and speed. I'm now a fan. Brilliant. SGF.

[@jebbohn]

Absolutely phenomenal drumming brother. Hands and wrists touched by God.

[@svenheger2266]

Truly amazing Dylan. You're such an awesome player.

[@anithen]

it's crazy how far back your videos go. first video I ever saw of you was last year, but it was from 2011... you were drumming at a crazy outdoor festival, people were surrounding you

[@HarmonicMolecues]

The most technically gifted drummer alive and close to the fastest and still have feeling, not robotic like other heroes online

[@Derrick8657]

One the best drummers I've ever heard!

[@MrLucasErler]

one of the best solos I know. so much feeling in every hit ... and he is one of those who plays the drumkit as an instrument not just like a skilled metronome. stunning!

[@johncargell8879]

YOU. ARE. DA. MAN. !!!!! AMAZING, as always Dylan !!! MUCH continued success my friend !!!

[@tejaspatel3641]

Amazing as always, been up all night trying to watch all your videos on KZbin😅 you have got some serious skills which deserves much more appreciation and support.

[@bodistern5721]

You're playing is phenomenal dude. Way more chops than me. Like, levels above. Fantastic to see you playing with BS&T by the way.

[@Faux_Fox]

Very nice man. Deliberate and polished.

[@TRUTH4U2NO]

One of the greatest drummers on earth past and present.

[@AntonShields]

You know you’re good. To be honest I don’t usually like this format of showcasing skill for drummers. But for some reason I really enjoyed several of your videos. please don’t take this as I hate what you’re doing or I’m actually jealous of your playing I think it’s phenomenal and I mean that most genuine way. Good luck to you man and I will share your video because People deserve to know more of your talent.

[@drumsport]

Watched you work with B, S & T yesterday afternoon at The New York State Fair. Very tasty drumming and was in awe of your musicality. Great fills, great finishes, and a solo that all could appreciate without knowing or understanding the technicality of it all. Nice eye candy with the stick twirling and crossovers. Wish I could play as well brother.

[@Flamamacue]

Complete mastery. It's like a mix of Buddy and Vinnie C with his own unique approach. Beautiful

[@georgemadders9930]

Saw this guy live last night as part of BS & T - brilliant !!

[@randomentertainment2325]

I like the ease with which u play multiple sounds at one time and also ur style..cool..keep it up dude...hope I could come to your country to watch u live..

[@jubankta1627]

He was incredible on his early KZbin stuff,But it’s like he’s grown into a man,As well as an insanely talented,creativeETC,ETC,ETC Could go on all day,JUST HAPPY TO EXPERIENCE HIS SKILLS!!

[@JoseMTamez]

I know it's been awhile but still, it's about time somebody picked him up. I can't believe it took that long. I hope to catch you on tour in Houston, or anywhere in Texas. Of course you sound much better on a full set of drums. Rock on brother!

[@matthughescisco]

best drummer in the world!

[@anthonknudsen4114]

the most inspiring drummer i have ever seen period. i bow in the dust, you ever hit europe?

[@OrangeSunshine2]

I haven't had the opportunity to see this band play live. I would pay just to see Dylan.

[@erik-ottoDE]

You are awesome, man! Big respect for your skills!

[@rknotz187]

Fucking insanity how clean every hit is

[@robarell3758]

Yeah this dude is wayyyyyyyyyy underrated!! He's a super bad ass on drums. One of the best I have ever listened to.

[@boarhead5573]

This guy needs to be more recognized! Amazing stick work! Like non-gravity! I'd say he's even more flying around the drums than Jojo Mayer or Pridgen.

[@SirMika9]

This is always awesome to listen you playing. Not just technics, but your own way to play and do music, really beautiful ! You must really enjoy playing to be able to do that.

[@Mistacole]

I saw you perform with BS&T in Chicago (St. Charles) last summer. I really like your approach to the band's classic repertoire, and, your solo phrasing ideas. Very cool stuff! And thanks again for chatting with me after the show! Mike C

[@dextermorgan5751]

How only 12k subs.. GET THIS MAN OUT THERE

[@roybeckerman9253]

Some of the big name drummers around the world, must be getting worried about the competition..🙂 Not usually a big fan of DW because of their high price, but he has them sounding beautiful.

[@TheHeremaia2]

I haven't seen him for 10 years woe he's gone real good

[@ilhanemetiev9079]

dylan go make one more street performance people love you so do I,the best !!! cant stop watching old videos when i remind about drums!!

He's definitely from another world.

[@jamesspooner1.2.76]

Dylan is a MASTER

[@BuzzieBee77]

Chur bro! Awesome drumming..Those's Paistes sound the goods fella....

[@jangleballer]

Just incredible. Best drummer around today IMO

[@ellislewis899]

2:32 he plays a beat (at least VERY similar) from his original "Amazing Drum Solo" video he did at 16. He even smiled and I swear I didn't hear anyone in the crowd recognise that lol

[@notyetskeletal4809]

This looks like fun to do but would take so long to learn! Hooray for the drums and drummers!

[@tedgeoghan950]

Underrated player and nobody does stick tricks as good in the world .....props Dylan ....!

[@marciom65]

The sound of drums is amazing.

[@bariscanselek]

you are an awesome drummer Dylan, ive been watching all of your videos for a long time and trying to improve my playing style. you are a true inspiration man, i wish i could take some drum lessons from you.

[@gravitydrums1391]

Great CHops, Creativity and Musicality all in one...

[@reyrozerr312]

[@jazzboy18]

If you like this guy check out John Riley

[@joealessandro8325]

Vinnie Colaiuta is still alive and ticking last time I checked lol

[@willmoyle0089]

Best drummer ever seen since buddy rich

[@codyjackson6850]

Yea man I agree there😊😊

[@buzztrucker]

Questionable but no doubt up amongst the greats. Haven't seen him since he was young, shirtless, and street performing. He has my respect.

[@williemiranda3864]

Totally agree.

[@williamweiss6128]

MONSTER!!!! Check out his street drumming, amazing.

[@TheNebojsa1970]

Dylan...You are the KING!!! Please make video with drum cover of The Power Station "Get It On" and " Some Like it Hot" Tony Thompson was one of the BEST studio drumer ever (for me the BEST) Former Chick drumer was played on studio album with MADONNA, Tina Tarner, Dawid Bowie..and others

[@JohnDRobinsonelectronicdrums]

great work, Elise .. a work of great devotion!

[@droverarden]

WOW. Fantastic.

[@maxmaxington5873]

Insane talent and hard work right there.

[@heldertiago124]

This guy is probably in the top 5 best drummers in the world right now but his representation on YT is so weak he gets pretty unnoticed. I know those videos in some kind of a open air fest were amazing and have a lot of views, but it's still something pretty intangible, it's not your channel, poor angles, poor sounds. You deserve more recognition bro! Try to have your channel updated a lot, get good projects, show them here, make FAQ for the fans once in a while, show your kit, show your family if you want (lool) jK. Seriously, YT has put so many good drummers up there, imagina what it could do with a genius like yourself. Your talent deserves to be seen, shared, commented, and so on!

[@velocityacoustics]

Exactly. I've been watching this guy for years. I've been waiting to see more stuff from him. He does need to get himself out there more.

[@dannyboy1779]

Dylan is all grown up now but he's been top of his group for years. He's number 1 for sure & that's part of the issue. How many Rock legends, groups never mind the passing boy/girl bands of the day could have this guy playing alongside them??? He'd blow them out the water! They'd be upstaged on a whole different level & that, is the issue.. We just need to wait for the machine to pigeon hole his talent & then we'll see more of his commercial side. On second thoughts? He's better doing what he's the best at, until something beyond what we are used to, gives him the platform & respect he deserves..

[@Dave-lr2wo]

There is no such thing as a ranking of drummers, and especially not "best drummers". And if there were, this dude would NOT be on it. When you learn something about music or drummers, come on back.

[@velocityacoustics]

Ok, since you know so much about music and drumming, post a video of your drumming then.

[@dannyboy1779]

Dave? This dude?? Dylan is from N.Zealand & I'm in the UK.. I cant remember the name of any other drummer on the planet, but I know who this guy is.. Hes world renound mate. He's happy jamming on the street or, the odd Jazz festival but he knows his percussion & that's that.. Your making a helluva noise anyway? My guess is, you have a wee drum & you like to bang it? Good stuff! well keep up the good work & remember 2? Practice! 🤣

[@knuckledragger549]

Q : do you know what a metronome is? A : A little short guy from the big city. God bless Y'all.

[@obs085]

It is the first thing I think when I listen him. Makes me think that is not what you know that is important but who knows you....

[@matthewroreilly]

obs085 when you say first thing you think of does that mean you think he has no grasp of tempo?

[@dwexoticmaple]

Its a solo !!!!!!not a song goose so it don't matter time wise..... it"s called feel. and i would like you to put up your video of the same solo "in tempo" lmfao
