Metal Cat Drummer CRUSHING IT - Twitch Live Reaction Session

[@BlackShardStudio]

"How did this not break the internet?" I thought for sure it did. It's an absolute classic.

[@peezieforestem5078]

Well, if it did break the internet, then how are we talking right now? Explain that!

[@TearDownGenesis]

@@peezieforestem5078 life...um...finds a way.

[@WhatisAPaladin]

it did but it was so long ago the normies wernt on youtube yet.

[@JdmgjnFjahgks]

It was big like 4 years ago

[@tcbandeira]

1 year at least....

[@Bobbias]

I absolutely love the fusion of children's music with intense metal drumming. It's both creative, and absolutely hilarious. And seriously, whoever that is in the suit has some real chops.

[@arcadeinvader8086]

and the costume having really short arms

[@28naveenator27van]

Ya how is that even possible? Very entertaining. Who's in the suit anyways. Loved it.

[@Bobbias]

@@28naveenator27van there's never been real confirmation on who is behind it, though there's been lots of suggestions it may be the drummer from the Japanese metal band Maximum The Hormone though.

[@あひかま]

[@tvs26]

​@@Bobbiasi think that there is actually a video somewhere of nyango star and Nao being in the same room so that isn't really possible

[@xavkoston16]

For metal drummers, this video is an absolute classic ! hahaha

[@心を燃やしすぎな麦飯]

この猫は徐々に己の中のドラマー魂が抑えきれなくなります

[@normalcornfornormalpeople5581]

2:05 the fact that your laughter matched the rhythm cracked me up

[@Childofbhaal]

I just showed my brother this recently and we died laughing for like 10 minute straight. This is such a classic lol

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Sorry about some mic distortion but I LOL's my a$$ off :D - THAT MOVE @1:55 broke me!!!

[@stephencunningham6962]

These videos give me so much joy. I love watching everyone’s reaction. If you don’t smile or laugh with this you might be a psychopath.

[@TheOwlripper]

The drummer had probably been playing this song normally for about 6 hours straight and was on the final 5 minutes and just thought 'fuck this, gotta blast!'. Never gets old.

[@TheDancerMacabre]

The real story is the person under the costume is a professional metal drummer and has toured with several bands. She did this as a way to promote tourism to her hometown and encourage people to buy apples from there. The Kayfabe reason is the ghost of a cat possessed a local apple and now plays drums for kids to make sure they get enough fruit in their diet.

[@fyodoroprichnikbasma]

Watching someone of a great experience and talent as Mr. Geebz commenting on this marvellous drummer even adds more layer of glory to the fun.

[@MrGreendayzed]

This did break the internet. There's two videos with 15 million views each on top of the thousands of others that have been posted.

[@BurpleRX7]

It’s nyango star, I go to Japan every couple of years and missed him at a con by one day, absolute hero. It’s actually a cute story, he is the mascot for his home town which it’s main export is apples. He also has a mascot band and has played with maximum the hormone on some videos. I thought it was maximum the hormones drummer for a long time but that has been proven wrong

[@bebbenbaby5361]

How was it proven not to be Nao. Everything I've researched said it was almost certainly her.

[@coconyt3623]

Nyango Star ('nyan' = basically 'meow' and 'ringo' = 'apple' in japanese + Ringo Starr)... A dead cat possessing an apple and using their legendary drumming power to honor and promote a small town in Aomori, Japan, that are known for their apple produce. That town's apples have thus become hugely popular. Legend has it that Nyango Star's drumming skills are borrowed from Kawakita Nao. She's the drummer of Japanese nu metal punk band "Maximum the Hormone". What an absolute delight.

[@wagiqwq]

Your laugh is so contagious 😂❤

[@JamesGilbert_]

I'm so glad you finally saw this video; it's a work of art.

[@xavkoston16]

One day, every parent in the world will blast some child songs including metal drumming, and this guy will be seen as a heroe for the devellopment of the youth ! hahaha

[@mariargentina1978]

Oh, man… This drummer cat and your reaction is the best combination EVER🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. And Your laugh right in time with the e beats in more than one point of the video🤣🤣🥰. Love it! It always puts a smile on my face😃.Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

[@catotjernstad331]

Well played, well over the top and absurd in a wonderfull way, and performing in that suit..?! Look at the stagemanger on the left, waving arms and giving desperate signals at the end! Hilarious..! 😆

[@jonathanmoore2862]

Seeing you react to this for the first time is simply joyous. 😂

[@EchoesDaBear]

Never fails...every time I see this video, I laugh my A$$ off!! Glad you got to experience it too!

[@antcow1239]

You could feel the frustration radiating from that puff monster.

[@cloudbloom]

Never expected you to cover this video it's a classic🤣

[@VLADPowder]

Certainly they released a version of this song with these kickass drums! I bet it would've raked in money not gonna lie!

[@Kowaiyo-]

The fact that this song is the theme song of a children's cartoon is even more interesting.

[@Benjammin82]

I just seen this video from the original channel and was blown away and laughing the whole time. Then spent the last hr watching you alls reaction vidoes. Love it. He was trolling in a good way. Great video. Thanks

[@mirola73]

It's rumoured it's Nao Kawakita, co-founder, backup vocalist, and drummer of the band MAXIMUM THE HORMONE. No idea of course if this is correct.

[@muttdogg79]

Your face when the blast beats starts lol So worth it !!!!

[@crjmoto]

Holy crap, that made my eyes water I was laughing so hard

[@catotjernstad331]

Hillarious, so good and kind of absurd in a wonderful way! Love it! 😆

[@samt7112]

I just love that it is along THE classic kids song, a theme from a kids cartoon, is what she's fully at it. Mind you, I think it is the highest grossing franchise in the world or something like that. It's been around for like 30-40 yrs. Kind of feel proud that my childhood is shared with the world 😂

[@alexk8792]

The kids cartoon in this case being Anpanman.

[@LyonHall1]

the suit is there to contain the enormous power held within

[@TigerTomix]

Damn, seeing Uncle Geebz react to this video, that's one thing I didn't know I needed. 😁

[@VerchielxKanda]

Ah! You've discovered the greatness that is Nyango Star! =D

[@Ivan-Hernandez]

This video brings me so much joy! Thanks Geebz!

[@PitcockFTW]

His laid-back tempo is amazing!

[@wholesomevoid7168]

​@@atlantic_love we don't know their identity

[@wholesomevoid7168]

@@atlantic_love yeah, I read them before I commented. But it seems as it is a misconception. There's a video of Nyango Star playing with Maximum the hormone, but there is no confirmation of Nao Kawakita being in the costume.

[@wholesomevoid7168]

I have nothing against it, I just wasn't able to find any definitive proof.

[@thatrandomguyanime]

"he was not ready" to the next level. nagamo star classics.

[@omegashinra7672]

People, it ISN'T Nao Kawakita from MTH. That one video people base this on, she was standing behind the camera cheering Nyango on, not IN the suit playing. Nyango's identity has been a mystery for years, why would Nao suddenly start shouting and playing with her own band in the costume? It's never been confirmed, because it isn't true. Their 2 drumming styles aren't even remotely similar.

[@G1NZOU]

I'm assuming it's a bit like Top Gear's Stig, where it's a costumed character and the actual person inside could be anyone from a handful of extremely good drummers depending on scheduling and location.

[@aoihitori]

I do confirm that Nao had nothing to do with Nyango. You can't be Nao in different places.

[@anandlakshmanan9708]

what makes it even better is the lady in the left of the video.

[@waltermelo1033]

I just imagine the kindergarten moshing when I see this video

[@TheREALSimagination]

Saw a comment in there: "fortunately japanese people don't sweat". I'm inclined to believe it when seeing the kind of insane feats they perform. As someone who's trudged around in this kind of costume, I can attest to the heat build-up on even a cloudy day. What this mascot's doing seems 10 times more exhaustive. Mad props.

[@tenroy6]

It did break the internet at one point, so bad he had to have a complete documentary about him xD

[@stevenmedge3479]

Ludicrous amount of metric work in the kick drum while wearing a huge foam suit. Absolutely nuts

[@joet7136]

😂 one of the better reaction videos I've seen of this video!

[@spaxxor]

Nyango star is a treasure, and every time this pops up there's always confusion lol.

[@kylelewis4685]

This has been going around for years and is still as hilarious today as it was 3 years ago....

[@samuelreynolds9542]

The heat in that suit reduced him to 4 lives

[@michaelriddick7116]

Best. Drummer. Ever. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@NSR-R]

The song I'm playing is from an anime aimed at children. The gap between playing hard while wearing a cute stuffed animal is interesting.

[@hordegaming4771]

This is the drummers version of a news presenter saying NO I'LL NOT STICK TO THE SCRIPT DAM IT

[@怪獣十兵衛]

this was a outdoor show about the japanese anime AnpanMan's opening with this charactor coming from not Anpanman's charactor play the drum....... and this secene was make kids sing the song with the music.......and he break this XD

[@KenDiriwan]

Choked from laughing, oh hell yes brothaa

[@V.F.D.DaleSalvador]

Love the Lucid Planet merch, bud.

[@johngeiger3770]

The teacher at the back conducting the song is so confused when Nyango went full Metal.

[@claudemartinez6589]

That is actually a female metal drummer her name is Nao Kawakita.

[@wizardcoolio]

2:05 he laughs in time with the song

[@GeminiWoods]

Oh... it did break the internet... it did.

[@mixingaband]

Gotta check out the 'Furnace and the Fundamentals" drummer doing the entire Halloween set as Mr Stay Puff the Marshmellow man

When you pay Nyango Star to play drums at your event, then by God, you get Nyango Star playing drums at your event!

[@BowsettesFury]

Remember this from years ago 😂❤

[@shawntaylor7442]

There's a video of Zakk Wylde playing a little toy guitar very well, as you would imagine. One to check out 🤙

[@thedominator87]

also he did it playing N.I.B. by black sabbath which is awesome xD

[@agenda3854]

To quote one of my friends. This person is probably the only one that could cause a mosh pit at a children’s concert

[@NotRKelly.]

Thank you Geebz

[@xjp1998]

Nyango Star is well known for doing this you need to see him when he plays slipknot. He actually has a white mask he wears love that suit.

[@hiroakiureshino5938]

Nyangostar is Japanese treasure.

Im just surprised those drums stick have survived...

I bought a pair of AKG's they are awesome, cheers for the recomendation.

Nyango Star is anonymous, but that is Nao Kawakita, a great woman metal drummer, is in the costume

[@r0ym4n]

When you like someone sometimes you just want to see them laugh

[@Lugia21]

This is a classic, Nyango Star has also played with Maximum the Hormone and they have a video in their channel which shows him playing with them and.they enjoyed it.

should see the video with this drummer and the turtle bas player :D

[@SomeSperg]

Broh, this has broken the internet multiple times in the last couple years

[@riekoide4121]

BEST Greatfull Gap😂

[@njpponari]

Always funny watching reactions when people first time saw Nyango Star. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sammylane21]

The most metal thing about this drummer that this drummer has a more DIY Punk rock mentality because the drummer worked out a deal that allows him/her to get residuals doing his/her own concerts and merchandise.

[@drussell_]

It is simply an apple, enchanted by the spirit of a dead cat. What more is there to say?! 🙃

[@stormd]

All the times I saw a Nyango Star video and didn't watch all the way to the end with a big stupid grin on my face:

[@amjan]

This video DID break the internet.

[@V.F.D.DaleSalvador]

To answer your question, yes this did indeed break the internet a couple years ago. Around 2018 I think.

[@lateralusDan]

How did this not break the internet? Simple, it did

[@richardsinclair7661]

I don't know if it's ever been confirmed, but a lot of people suspect that the person in the costume is Nao, the drummer for Maximum the Hormone.

[@LauBBarboza]

Nyango Star!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Es una genio!!!! Tenés que ver a su banda 😆

[@autohmae]

It did break the Internet at the time, actually multiple times, both started from a tweet, the first one was just for Japan, at a mall. The second one is this video you saw. Japanese culture says you should not ask who is in the suite, actually act like it's not a suite and don't assume. So we don't know who it is... That said Nyango actually has a band with one original song, just look up: Funassyi PearFestival2018 CHARAMEL Concert-CHARAMEL feat. Kumamon-2018.07.16

[@PoMu4]

Galaxy can end here, it won't get any better than that.

He's not roasting because he's not human, he's Nyanmetal-chan.

[@kody.wiremane]

haHAh! didn't expect to see this on this channel 😂👍

[@johnny0y0yang123]

Hes like, i was born a cat... No i as born a drummer

[@Kamenari37]

So this happens at a Japanese theme park. Think something somewhat akin to Chuck E Cheese meets Disney Land. The park was struggling with attendance and on its way to closing its gates for good when this clip went viral. The drummer's stunt had become somewhat standard fare so the staff were not at all surprised to see it happen but being exposed to the internet got a lot of people interested in the park. Ticket sales increased and the drummer wound up getting an entire band that does shows in the park akin to the same metal style for the kids. Nyango Star is the character's name and who the park is themed after.

[@richardhutchinson9646]

there's a whole metal band he has

[@catinthehat906]

I was waiting for the Keith Moon style drum kit destruction at the end... but sadly it never came.

[@rayclifford9081]

That was by pretty far the coolest thing I have ever seen.
