Schmitt is my favorite drummer. And her comes this video (and a few others) proving that he is what you could call a COMPLETE musician. Wow!

[@Pier.Frances]

I think I just broke the Guiness World Record of "wow"s screamed out loud in a single youtube video.

[@Sebastien-vl8yi]

Du très haut level. Merci les Damiens😂❤

[@RebeccaJohnsonBand]

[@veladrummer]

ALIEN!!!!!!!!

[@ThomasEbel-xm7ps]

WOW Damien you are a whole band, nice job, did not know that about you.......

[@jsrdrums51100]

Dingo Damien ! 🥁🔥

[@christianskubiszewski6460]

Le talent à l'état pur ! Je suis guitariste et batteur et je dois dire que son vibrato index est parfait, bien mieux que certains guitariste dont c'est le métier ! BravoDamien, ont t'adore ❤

[@gonzameza5198]

BIG talent bro, super !

[@fabricefuzillier8920]

DS a encore frappé. Et qu’est-ce que c’est bon!

[@bobbyjones7627]

This makes the fifth time I've viewed this. The guy is straight up amazing.

[@bobbyjones7627]

As I watch this video again for the I have no clue how many times now, I'm ready to simply store it under the Star Wars category. You have to admit, Mr. Schmitt is not from our universe. His performance not just here, but on other projects is not of this world.

[@DamienSchmittOfficialTVChannel]

@bobbyjones7627 Thank you so much !!

[@christianarroyo5459]

Yeahhhh !! Damien tu nous manque !!

[@guillearacenag]

🙏🥁¡ESPECTACULAR!🥁🙏. Para mí, DON DAMIEN es mi batero favorito N°1 de aquellos que se les suele llamar "Modern Drummers". Dominio técnico en todo sentido, una "limpieza sobrenatural" en cada nota, alto sentido del espectáculo y, a mi juicio lo principal: siempre gracioso, bromeando y evidentemente alegre tal como si existiera un "perro con dos colas". Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱. 👏👏🥁🎵 MAESTRO🎵🥁👏👏

[@danlutjemeier4183]

That's impossible, nobody's that good.

[@cobham07]

Génial!!!Bravo

[@aureliecombarieu833]

[@planetapeluche1018]

Absolutamente cabron! Damien 🔥🔥🔥

[@sofiacobian8241]

The drumming , killer, the rest is ok.

[@SoldatDeRigel]

Merci une fois de plus J'ai arrêté de regarder de que tu es parti, et cela m'a beaucoup ennuyé et je ne pense pas qu'un batteur aura ton niveau dans cette émission. C'est l'unique émission de télé depuis des dizaines d'années avec des musiciens live (fasila chanter à bien essayé) et c'etait un plaisir Il faut remonter à Raymond Lefebvre et son orchestre... Pour avoir de vrai musiciens qui s'expriment. Et la télé qui n'est pas à un gag ridicule près nous a quand même proposé charly oleg, ou manoukian tapant quelques pauvres notes dans un atmosphère ridicule Cette folie qui fait les batteurs extrêmes. Continue. Heureusement qu'il y a les réseaux sociaux pour l'expression, même des meilleurs 👍👍👍👍

[@DamienSchmittOfficialTVChannel]

@@SoldatDeRigel merci beaucoup !!🔥🔥on continue
