[@COOP3RDRUMM3R]

Hey! Thanks so much for the comment and the support. Playing so many different styles of music and so many different songs has been a huge way to increase my abilities on the drums. I'm always trying to do something I haven't done before, although a lot of times the song limits the level of technicality that can be used during the track, there is still something to be learned from every style of playing. :D

[@akjain5Realdrummer]

Mr.Cooper Sir you are playing like Godgifted. your drum style is unique listening and watching after thousand time You did so much hard work in your drum style.. M

[@NowWeAreFree3]

Bruce Lee of the Drums.

[@RelMCProgram]

Chuck Norris of the drums, maybe?

[@nimj1234]

RelMC chuck norris sucks not him..

[@dmandrummer1302]

Dr. HOUSE no way near!so many better drummers than him,although he is pretty good and I encourage him to keep going. Maybe one day:)

[@teodortosic1199]

Dr. HOUSE Genius comparison

[@TitouanDebray]

Dman drummer Mike Mangini, Thomas Lang, Buddy Rich (not anymore), Chris Adler, Aaron Kitcher, hell even Luke Holland to throw in someone his age.. then again this is subjective :)

[@COOP3RDRUMM3R]

Thanks so much Alix! I really appreciate the kind words and it is so awesome that my love for what I do comes across so well!

[@Torribell24]

You are my idol. I just started drumming about 3 months ago, and when I found you, I was just amazed. I really wish I could be at your level one day, and be able to play so amazingly. I nearly cried watching you play, it was just amazing. Thank you for just inspiring me to be the best drummer I can be.

[@liordavidshragg]

I usually hate everyone's stick tricks and flips, but I just can't get enough of yours. The timing is perfect and it doesn't take away from the groove. Nice work

[@333reid333]

I fucking love seeing people get so immersed in their art. You can't express soft emotion through drums like you can a guitar, or piano, but likewise drums have an emotion that guitar, and piano will never be able to touch.

[@dsaboda]

I play the drums and I agree the way plays looks abnormal for sure. Kinda like he's taking a shit.

[@kovassb7050]

He's just overplaying

[@user-mb5gw9ou9l]

ya i doubt people saying its to much could even play a simple beat. they dont know how tough it is to to get this stuff down with out messing up or going off beat. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE even if its the same thing over and over for 3 or 4 hours in a row for one little trick or fill.

[@jimcarrmemorial2022]

JohTheDrummerFreak just because he can do "AMAZING" Stick flips does not mean he is the best drummer ever, your talent is measured on how yoou can actually play the drums

[@theoswife]

***** He actually can play the drums amazingly. He doesn't just do covers. This is something he just does for fun and to entertain people. Just saying.

[@Themostamazinguy]

***** Well someone has not seen the rest of these videos. It's not just technicality in how you play, it's the flow, and the way it feels. Like for example Lang Lang is a very technically (as in physical ability) able to play, but he does not have the ability to put his soul into it, and that's why i hate him. Lang lang is a pianist if you are wondering

[@lugomc-fly1172]

Dude... this drum cover is so FREAKING SICK!!!!

[@MajesticsMotovlogs]

I love how he plays in harmony with the melody, it's not just a drummer smashing out a beat. It's a drummer making the drums sing :D

How come this guy isn't in a pro band? Like seriously he's freaking AWESOME! Who WOULDN'T want a drummer that can play like that?!

[@benpranke2610]

From a fellow drummer, you are AWESOME!!! As anyone can see, you are not fat, you're actually really skinny! People always bug me about being skinny, but you don't get fat doing what we do!! Keep up the great work!!

Rushing the tempo a little. Gotta lay back or else it messes up the groove. Good stuff and sweet chops for the most part though. Also, based your other videos, I'd say less is more. No need for DCI licks on the cymbals during every empty spot.
