FAN DRUMS FOR THE KILLERS FIRST TIME EVER - Toronto 01/05/18 - For Reasons Unknown

[@jordancampbell8231]

Every time I see a Killers' performance, I'm always amazed by the level of audience interaction/participation they encourage and use throughout their performances, simply amazing. There's a reason they're one of the best live performers around.

[@MRSICKLATER]

I agree!

[@GoldenWave]

I've been watching youtube videos for about 10 years, and for the first time ever, I literally clapped watching one... at the end of you playing with The Killers and you stood up and adjusted your suit like a badass! Absolutely timeless!

[@MRSICKLATER]

Wow thank you so much that's so awesome to hear! to be honest I was adjusting it because it was riding up on me so I just wanted to make it fit comfortably but now that I look at it, it comes across completely different lmao!!!

[@cesarllanos6069]

I thought exactly the same. At the end you just stand up like saying "look and learn kids". Amazing performance Brandon

[@mikewellington2738]

As a drummer and Killers fan, this was so sweet! Loved that you added your own little twist to it, too awesome!

[@soemantramlal]

Adjusting your suit at the end showed how you have owned everything during your show. I have seen this exact clip many times. It is just timeless and keeps on amazing everytime :) Great job Brandon. I will be seeing The Killers live at Rock Werchter this year in Belgium. I will think of your skills during this song.

[@MRSICKLATER]

Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate the kind words and that's so awesome! I'll be seeing them in September in Toronto and it feels like it's been forever so I know we're both in for a great time at our local shows :)

[@timothyhassett5344]

Hey bud, thanks to you and your video I took a shot at making a sign and they pulled me up to drum in San Diego last night!!! Thank you for initiating this, there were about 10 other people with signs it's becoming a thing!! Cheers man

[@idkneon]

as a drummer i can say you've done this very well! you're the luckiest man in the world

[@MRSICKLATER]

Thank you :)

[@rodrandelavona4818]

as a drummer... look at this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmaco6Gjh7BlfZY he just gave it his own style

[@Chastain86]

Dude, I don't know you at all -- I found this video through Reddit, where people are CLAMORING for you to do an interview. But let me tell you something, man. Good fuckin' job. You brought tears to my eyes. Enjoy this moment, man. This is yours.

[@BrandonZeluff]

Also here from reddit, checking in.

[@MRSICKLATER]

Wow, that means alot Thank you so much for that. Trust me when I say it's been a wild last few days. I was able to feel like a rockstar from playing on stage to doing interviews and having everyone message me.

At first I was skeptical. Then I saw you actually did play. Then you didn't just play but KILLED the entire song, and not just "oh it was good". No man, I'm a drummer (and not just some guy who says he is but never practices, I'm in school for it and practice daily, gig lots) and you absolutely nailed all the parts, picked up on all the little live tricks they wanted to pull and were tasteful too. Great job man, you got it!!

[@Illuminati092]

I absolutely love how you smugly fix your jacket after you stand up from playing that song.

[@MRSICKLATER]

It was riding up on me so I did it to become comfortable, now I realize it came across different haha

[@ewouthonig371]

It was exactly the right move Brandon :) Well played.

[@teoucsb82]

Was there last night and this was the highlight of the show. Great work 🤟🏻

[@MRSICKLATER]

Thank you so much!

[@melaniepos7756]

I was there, and like other people are saying, this was a highlight! One of our own, up there with the best, killing it, rolling with the changes of arrangement to include the audience! So glad you got these shots of it too, congratulations!

[@MRSICKLATER]

Thank you so much! I'm glad I didn't disappoint. :)

[@epicbluerat9999]

this man will remember this moment for the rest of his life i am sure of that

[@matterofchanceprod]

Dude, you broke a stick and still rolled with it. Insane!

[@MRSICKLATER]

Gotta keep going!

[@glyph2011]

Massive smile on my face. FanTASTIC!!!!!! Hats off, just brilliant. So chuffed for you! Subscribed.

[@MRSICKLATER]

Thank you so much! :)

[@TheCJD89]

Pretty cool. I saw them in Dublin and they brought on a fan to play Dustland Fairytale on keyboard. That was awesome and this was just as good

[@lauragaravito1318]

REALLY OMG

[@danieldeburgh8437]

his name was Seán I think. He was good

[@TheCJD89]

Yeah, Sean

[@seanheary8129]

Looks like I started a chain reaction!

[@jackielance5416]

idk how i ended up back on this video but i just watched it all over again and can't stop smiling you did such a good job!!!

[@cebailey5920]

It's Christmas Eve in Chicago, I'm trying to wind down from a stressful week and I found myself wanting to watch your performance again. Thank you for killing it. Thank you for grabbing the brass ring. Thank you for giving hope to us all that dreams, even those that might last for just a moment, are worth reaching for. This is a great song, but seen thru the prism of your performance it means so much more. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Dicaferr]

Having seen one of those moments of temporary celebrity and experiencing a completely unforgettable day myself a few years back, I completely understood what you meant about the surrealism of it all and that feeling of positivity permeating around you. It’s so true that if you have a dream and put your heart completely into something, everyone and everything can suddenly fall into place and it can happen against all odds. Thanks for that reminder with your inspiring Q&A video. I was at the show and I’m glad to have witnessed such an amazing moment in your life even if you’re a stranger! You did so great! Congrats!

[@aracelymontano8322]

Wow amazing congratulations you did good congratulations....my favorite song and my favorite band thank you for sharing😐

[@jerrystirpe]

I was there 25 rows from watching you play..did a amazing job!!

[@MRSICKLATER]

[@alexx_theadult]

[@Geoffreytomlinson24]

As a 66 year old Killer fan my heart swelled for you! great job, I can only dream of playing with them.

[@cebailey5920]

I think I've watched this 20-30 times in the last three days and I have to say, I keep coming back because you absolutely killed it!

[@flhxalexx]

That was f*** amazing ur so damn luckyyy

[@MRSICKLATER]

Thanks for watching!

[@GabrielFFontes]

Rock on bud, it's cool to be able to watch a moment of your life you'll never forget. Cheers

[@maximedeguire785]

A moment to be proud of and to remember forever. Great job man

[@cebailey5920]

[@kimdart5128]

[@darin-pond]

This is seriously the best thing ever! I'm so happy for you!! So amazing!

[@lehenric6723]

I’ve seen many videos of fans playing this song, but you definitely did played it the best. Love your tempo!

[@MRSICKLATER]

I appreciate that dude thanks so much!

[@cebailey5920]

I was watching a couple other performances this evening and found myself agreeing with this particular observation. I'm very surprised that I didn't notice him before given how many times I've watched your performance in their performance of others, but what strikes me is your restraint, your professionalism, your ability to maintain a backbeat without trying to make it about you. It's five years later but this performance gets better with every viewing.

[@lafbrito]

DUDE! You were incredible!!! And so chill about the whole thing! Amazing! :D

[@MRSICKLATER]

It was so surreal!

[@KimLannoo]

Great performance man, loved it from start to finish!

[@Hadogei123456789]

I was there last night and you killed it!!!

[@MRSICKLATER]

Thank You!!

[@macktravels68]

Awesome job, Brandon!! Way to step up under pressure. Brilliant.

[@stephenmccubbin3189]

You were freaking awesome mate absolutely slayed it

[@novadaisy3208]

You did so great!! I was there and it was pretty amazing to see it live!

[@MRSICKLATER]

I'm glad you weren't disappointed!

[@desertbee08]

Damn, Brandon, you killed this!!!! Great job! I especially liked it at 4:56. Talk about a natural high.

[@puzzodr]

Tightest set out of all of the guests shown

[@MRSICKLATER]

Thanks so much! :) I appreciate that!

[@cindyspowart555]

My friend and I were so thrilled to see you get called up on stage. Then, you totally killed it in front of a crowd of 9,000 people! Much respect, fantastic job!

[@sharpz44]

Brilliant,now thats what you call a band,fan interaction, great drumming bro

[@Formula_Done]

Its good to know that when you sit behind Ronnie's kit. He cheerfully motivates you by airdrumming along. God bless Ronnie Vanuci!

[@erikmonroy4754]

I love it bro!!! That was truly amazing!!

[@rebeccastokes6372]

I WAS THERE!!!! YOU WERE SO GOOD! KILLED IT!

[@MRSICKLATER]

Thank you!!

[@YuliPortillo]

¡Muy bien, pibe, te felicito! Salvo por el detalle de que parecías estar más pendiente de tomarte una selfie que de saludarlos; Brandon te tuvo que abrazar ._. Pero fuera de eso, me alegro por el momento que pasaste.

[@suzannecampbell2858]

This is so awesome, congrats to you!😅👏👏❤❤

[@cebailey5920]

How can you not love this band?!?

[@briandrum1]

I *love* the way you fix your jacket at the very end of the tune. You stand up and can say to yourself, "Yep....fucking *nailed* it!" Such a great experience for you man. Really good shit!

[@MRSICKLATER]

Lmao Thanks!

[@matturner6890]

Way to play it cool under pressure. Nailed the fills too! So awesome.

[@Cici2017]

[@midchaff5010]

[@blkrubber1]

excellent timing and playing man.

[@kellymcphaul2793]

Dude, this is making his life! That is so awesome.

[@dennisdimarinojr.4843]

I was at the show in Philly. They did this with a fan here too. Also it looks like LA and St. Louis too. Same song in each. Brandon alluded to the fact that it wasn’t planned ahead of time.

[@jessechristensen6028]

This is cool that they had a fan do this. Something that would have been cool since they were in Canada is if they had Neil Peart of rush on drums or since I'm a fan of him Phil Collins of Genius would have been a hoot as well and an interesting crossover even more if they played each others songs.

[@jayrodd2015]

This is my dream every time I go to a concert haha. You killed it man! We need a reddit AMA!

[@dareddivl]

He did one www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/7oqzhv/i_am_brandon_from_toronto_and_i_got_to_drum_with/
