How The Drums Shaped My Life

[@BrandonScottDrums]

All of these comments are freaking beautiful. I love all of you. Thanks for watching my videos and thanks for making me cry.

[@juanemmanuelsalinas2001]

I'm curious what drum heads did you picked for your drum set? 😁

[@ashleycrashdissinger8021]

You are an amazing person and you deserve all the good things ya have and will have. I've been wanting to share some of the extra money I make (ironwork pays really good but bein a professional drummer seems impossible to me) I've narrowed it down to you and someone else but I always lean toward you. As soon as I get paid I'll hit ya up.

[@KingdomCurrency]

All of this is amazing... But do you know Jesus??

[@BrandonScottDrums]

@@KingdomCurrency Never met him.

[@bdoum1564]

You fucking deserve 1M subs

[@DrumeoOfficial]

Amazing video, Brandon! It was so good to meet you in Johannesburg. Hopefully we can connect again sometime and spend more time hanging out. It sounds like you've got an interesting story and it's going to be fun to watch your drumming and channel continue to grow.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Thank you guys! Had a blast being able to hang before the Covid breakout haha. I will be back in the States by Mid Year. Would love to come to Canada for a hang sometime

[@LordFattyTheVast]

Woah

[@regielmanaongsong144]

Can we also appreciate how this dude edit with 100% cleanliness his videos

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Thank you haha It makes the time spent worth it XD

[@ToTheBridge]

The drums shaped you, and you've influenced thousands of us and I can't wait to see how this domino effect plays out

[@rabidmoonmonkey1090]

Thousands of mini brandons

[@benjaminrro583]

Sick video.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

It's crazy to think about... I love being able to inspire others. It's VERY fulfilling for me. Thanks for being here.

Drums shaped your life And you are shaping ours Thank you brandon From my fellow south african

[@SimonAspsund]

WOW. There's so much I wanna say about you but my english is not sufficient enough to get all my thoughts out lol. Anyhow, you're a genius. You've done more until today than I'm probably ever gonna do in my life. You're a total workhorse. I can't even keep up with a girl in the same city and focus on my drumming at the same time. This is inspiring af. My respect for you just went from high to the sky. Congrats on 100k!! Well deserved.

[@paytonalexander8526]

Fax man that’s exactly how I feel rn 😂

[@BrandonScottDrums]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for those kind words man... It looks all nice and cookie cutter when it's compressed into a 18 minute video but there were DEFINITE low points and hardships haha we all go through shit! It's about how you come out on the other side I suppose. I've learned to enjoy the journey. Life is sick. Thanks so much for watching.

[@ashleycrashdissinger8021]

Ya can't get over it Ya can't get under it Ya can't get around it Ya jus gotta get thru it.

[@markielinhart]

Brandon, you’re an amazing young man and you’re very much a reason why I took up playing the drums at age 77. I just turned 78 and there’s still a ton to be learned and you help make it FUN‼️so keep on keeping on mano, thank you✌️🌻🇦🇺

[@JayStiqs]

A million is TOTALLY possible! Keep it up, man!

[@Adjacent_2]

thanks to JP Bouvet I've been fortunate enough to follow your journey since his drum camp. You are, in a crazy way, exactly the same as you were back then and simultaneously completely different. Being able to evolve and mature while staying true to yourself is a great accomplishment man, congrats on all of your success

[@BrandonScottDrums]

JP definitely played a huge part in it. There's no reason for me to be any different wether i have 100 vs 100k subs. They're numbers on a screen. I love having this audience don't get me wrong but, to let that get to your head is just stupid af. Now if i get to 1 million then i will definitely never reply to your comment ever again because I'd be FAMOUUUUSSS and just waaaaaay toooo busy.... way too busy.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Thanks so much for being here for so long and watching my videos

[@DeBoltDrumming]

6:48 That is you and me 😂 Little did we know, we'd both be doing things on KZbin. Crazy, bro. ⚡️

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Dude that is insane I had no idea that was you?!?! So stoked for you and your success lately!! 🙏🏼 Let’s get it!! 👊🏼

[@Rachel0814p]

Ha, thanks for the cameo but I am so NOT pissed that you kept practicing for months and months!! My partial hearing loss from your years of drumming in the house has been totally worth it. LOL, love you so much! Your dad and I are forever proud.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Thanks for putting up with it and always letting me get up to my random antics around the house haha can’t wait to finally be closer to you guys again, I really miss you.

[@simonmikez]

I’ve already seen this video on your Patreon but I need to say it again...YOU’RE AMAZING BRO! Love you so much!! ❤️

[@pfunnk14]

Not for nothing, but that map shot was pretty freaking gnarly. Also, this video hit me in the heart. I love music so much.

[@DutchBoy011]

Great storytelling Brandon. You're really unlike any other drumming channel KZbin. Although I don't know you personally, I have to admit that I'm proud of you!! Keep it up man!

[@charliewaffle4928]

Drums aside, my guy followed his heart and landed in the right place thanks to it

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Dude, so cool to hear your story. All the best in this next phase of your life moving back to the states!

[@byMinho]

Duude! The transition when you walk out and then the map transitioning into the planet! Next level!! Amazing story too man... Wow!

[@jonathankruspel7329]

The part where you talked about your wife gave me goose bumps. So happy for you Brandon! :D

[@moseslinnik8042]

I was just checking different drum channels and somehow stopped at this vid. Every minute it got more interested and now I have to say that was one of the best and most interesting musician "documentaries" ever. Wow, you are such a multi-talented guy!

[@paulclarito6124]

With ur talent on drums and editing, u deserve a million subs.

[@tjblackmore7863]

This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. You've built up some amazing skills in addition to your drumming. namely, your videography, photography, editing and post production skills, as well as the ability to tell great stories and be persuasive. This was a great watch.

[@cjclemente0801]

“Brandon Scott the Documentary” I’m ready for it let’s go

[@subiegal8428]

Congratulations Brandon, so well deserved! 👏🏻❤️

[@SimonRileyDrums]

Brandon, Brandon, Brandon! DUDE! Your story is amazing and the way you laid it all out into such a dope video was easily the best 19 minutes I’ve spent behind my phone screen this week. Can’t wait to see your story continue and hope to link up one day🤘🏻🥁

[@drbobinski1]

The cream rises to the top. 1 million easy by years end. Well, maybe? Love your story. You would love my DW jazz series with the stunning understated natural wood shells.

[@micahheinold3536]

Awesome video Brandon, the production quality and editing just keeps getting better and better

[@reymonmatin-ao9799]

Drum is life brandon!!.What a beautiful life story in drumming. We're all inspired.😥💯😊😭

[@JavisandLea]

Omg I thoroughly enjoyed that video. Been following you ever since mikeslessons because I felt like you were super down-to-earth and relatable, and I still watch your videos to this day and am craaazy impressed at how far you (and the quality of your videos) have come. You are an inspiration even if you didn't set out to be and I can't wait to congratulate you for 1 million cuz I know you'll get there!

[@lucaleita]

Great to hear your story Brandon!! Thank you and congrats!!! Cheers from Italy

[@briancross1973]

So happy for you brother! So excited for you and your wife with the upcoming move. Keep up the killer work and a million is coming!

[@MrJpm1989]

Hey , hi wow what a ride man. Fellow drummer here and I have to thank you for sharing your story . I am so happy for you and just watching your videos I can for sure say you deserve only the best. You weren't given anything but worked hard for it but the gem is your wife. I wish you all the best. Rock on you two💗❤💗

[@MKooro]

One of the human that inspired me the most, thanks Brandon 🔥

[@LeoPerantoni]

DUDE! What an amazing video. The edits, the audio, the drumming, your life story. Incredible job. I hope to keep following your journey to 1M subscribers! You totally deserve it! Thanks for all the amazing content.

[@TheJrw456]

Brandon Scott: the absolute KING. Man, you’ve changed my perspective on drums. I’m a senior in college and play gigs at bars on the weekends. It’s SO fun, and it has been in the past 4 years. But it’s 100 times better now that in the past year I’ve gotten to grow my skills through creative challenges that are inspired through your drumming. The dynamics. The pocket. The CLEANLINESS of your style, it’s truly made me focus in on my technique and I can’t thank you enough 🙏

[@LiquidBlueBand]

Brandon- this is an AWESOME video! Your skills in filming & editing continue to amaze us. You make content that captivates. Keep going, brother! We miss you in Cali!

[@antonioayala8157]

We love u man from the hole planet 💚

[@MarkCRoe]

I bought my first Fender Reverb off of Craigslist from the guitarist of Kanan Road, small world! Keep up the great content 🙏🏻

[@isaiaha5479]

oh my gosh dude, we have so much in common! I am 12 years old and I love to play the drums and I love rush and dream theatre! Mike portnoy is one of my favorite drummers! I am also running track this year and running cross-country. My mile time PR is 6:00. I also love to skateboard and I have been skateboarding for almost a year now! I just learned how to do a heelflip. I also lived for nine years overseas and just moved back to the United states. This video really inspires me and I look up to you as a person.

[@IlovetheLord07]

CONGRATS !!!

[@jocquidixonmusicproduction988]

[@sebastiancendra4246]

Your story is amazing. Congrats Brandon!!! Best regards from Argentina 🇦🇷😎💪💪

[@trextify]

This video has made me emotional to the point I want to cry. This is a dream and what I would think most drummers would dream of. I’m very happy for you to be able to experience this.

[@abisheksahye6920]

Thanks for sharing dude... you are an inspiration to us young drummers

You are a machine! Congrats man, keep going!

[@JAS1067]

Congratulations, well deserved!!!

[@miguelmonroy7089]

Hey Man, Congrats in all your You Tube success, you have earned! You have made us all laughed, and we have also stole some cool drumming ideas from you. Haha keep up the good work. I’m also a living proof that drums can change your life, I came to USA just to study and play music And also met my wife and made many friends all because of drums....Aleluya! Take care Miguel Monroy in Arizona

[@eddieavakian]

That’s a helluva ride Brandon! Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiration!

[@martinkent_]

You’re an awesome dude Brandon. Thanks for sharing this

[@PhuongLe-id4mn]

Bro... 1M sub for you is totally attainable. With this quality, it's just a matter of time before your channel blows up.

[@FusionHowie]

I have sent a you tube link of Brandon Scott to my daytime job salespeople, my musician friends and my family members. You sir are a true force of knowledge and just down right good person in this world! You have impressed this 58 year old hard working drummer/day job/ world traveler! Peace from Detroit MI.

[@kanenewman5517]

Your editing skills are crazy 🔥

[@MattiaRaggiDrum]

My name is Mattia and i'm 11 years old italian drummer! I'm happy for you! i hope to become like you. Sorry for my english ! 👏❤🥁🇮🇹🌈

[@andrewgoulson]

I’ve been watching you for years and super inspired by this!

[@AxelPretti]

I really didn't know your story. I saw some of your videos randomly without using the search engine. But watching this video one understands the effort it takes to make them, as you say, you had to learn about cameras, lights, colors, and obviously keep practicing playing drums. keep going so you are on a very good path, greetings from Argentina

[@harryplaysdrums]

I’ve been watching your videos for years and found you through the JP blog and Snare drum project. I’ve started building my own snare after watching that video all those years ago and wanting to give it ago. So cool to the influence you have had on people, from the influence people have had on you, let alone seeing where you are now, in a different country still making quality content and inspiring people. Can’t wait to see what’s next Brandon!

[@charlysoto180]

incredible video man, She will do amazing over there!!!

[@sound_mellow]

Hey Brandon i've been following you for a while now and your videos just keep getting better and better, and you motivate me to keep on playing and practicing, even though i don't own a drum kit and the only time i get to play drums is when i rent a music studio. So thanks a lot and keep up the amazing work brother!

[@nottheclown7471]

*You deserve that and much more dude*

[@theriphraff]

This is your best video. All the heart is in this video. Congrats on your plaque. well deserved.

[@ChrisHyp]

It's really crazy that I got to watch you since the Berklee audition and I learned about JP because of you! Now I'm a teacher myself heavily inspired by his teaching style. It's soo great to see your growth Brandon, it's well deserved. We love the videos

[@cvdrumsandshtuff]

[@marcpatzelt2430]

Best commentary video I've ever seen. Anyone could watch and enjoy this. You have a beautiful heart and joy in you. Your future child will be so lucky to have the both of you.

[@enragedhippy]

Man I've been watching your stuff since you made a snare drum that one time. Your inventiveness, your artistry, your thirst to improve your life and your craft are values I see mirrored in myself today. Now i'm a small town American studying music in Holland (had to travel) bro bless you.

[@TheRcdood]

Dang man, I was a regular customer at the murrtown guitar center, I remember seeing you there alot and asking many questions glad to see you where you are now

[@MonkeyDWoofy]

I am always amazed at the editing, and just the quality your videos are in general, so much fun to watch, and super underrated, hope we’re here for 500k, 1mil and so on!! Congrats

[@khandi_cane]

[@jaymeramirez7435]

This is so inspiring. I’ve been following your channel for a very long time. I remember when you maybe moved back with your parents. You were rusty on camera. I didn’t think so. But you did repeatedly say it. I’m proud of your dedication. Continue until you can’t.

[@joelhowley1454]

So inspirational man, happy for how life has panned out for you, on the road to 1 mill and new prospects now, keep it up!!!

[@danielpotiguara5635]

I've been watching your videos for a while.. it was inspiring since the beggining. Great musician and person, keep going!! Big fan from Brasil!!

[@endrawes0]

You are so blessed. Congrats on all of it.

[@AlexWandless]

I've been following you and your channel since the days in Cali when you started making some lesson videos and got your DW kit. It's been really cool seeing your channel and especially skills behind the kit and in video editing grow. You just might be one of my favorite KZbin drummers/vloggers to watch. Keep going, man!

[@owenfranke7857]

Inspiring...🌿 thank you for this!

I’ve learnt stacks off your videos and I think it shows in my playing. Your editing skills are so good now. You will make it to a million subs in no time. Nice work brother! Ryan from Tassie

[@camronmckinney5826]

Thank you for this I've only seen skill progression on drums but you gave me more than just drums and Im thankful to you.

[@matteodesimone1413]

Beautiful story dude! Keep it up! Cheers from Italy ✌🏻

[@stalj]

Been around since somewhat after the JP era, I think - so awesome to see how your drumming and content (and video editing!) has come since then. Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@tasodrums]

This must be one of the best videos so far, I mean, the drumstuff is awesome, but there is so much more to drums and life than just the drumming itself! Thanks Brandon, this was a huge inspiration and nice to know more about your path to here.

[@thoucandrum]

Congrats, dude! Well deserved but more importantly, thank you. There’ a reason you have your audience, continuous amazing content!

[@zumb42]

Keep on drumming !

[@ChrisInmanDrums]

So cool to see your journey man. It’s crazy how far you’ve come! You deserve all of the success it’s brought you! (And, always, crazy editing skills 😂)
