You can see him holding back on his drumming faces 😂😂

[@Bella-fm2in]

ik it's so cute haha

[@iga2532]

Cara Jade Hemmings Ahhahhaha

[@mackenziejurk1022]

i was thinking that too😂

[@elisek4552]

These are my favorite types of interviews, because personally I'd rather hear about how they developed a love for music, and what they use to achieve the best sound.

[@samwatts3878]

+Elise Kling i couldn't agree more, these interviews are so much better

[@mei-br7ch]

agreed!

[@brunakrcelic7630]

yes!

[@thatgeekybookworm375]

+Elise Kling i agree!! in love with these kind of interviews you can really hear passion and love for what he does in his voice

[@TheSoAngie]

i couldn't agree more!

[@madisonmccraw6558]

When people think that all the fangirls came to stare at ash but really we just enjoy seeing him being happy and talking about something he loves

[@jacquedez]

Madison Mccraw Yesss

[@danihood649]

"I joined 5 seconds of summer when I was 17, I am now 21" that hurt my feelings I am offended

[@lissamaya9415]

Dani Hood why

[@EDeeDeeS]

He's 26 now

[@mikewellington2738]

I don't listen to his band's music but he seems like a great guy and drummer.

[@selesteramirez3469]

he is

[@pin9110]

He really is

[@nereatejedor5832]

+mike wellington He's awesome.

[@bleenthepanda9838]

Yeah same here. He just seems like a fucking legend. Love to meet him one day

[@chernobyl5354]

+mike wellington agreed

[@tatihope2071]

I could literally watch Ashton play the drums for one song on a loop for hours and not get bored because HES. SO. PRETTY.

[@kh_ryota9926]

+LifeUnpredicted hahah yass

[@KittyCat-tr9ee]

Same

[@ayupwhatsthis8339]

I want a live video of just him playing the drums to waste the night. His drumming makes that song. Change my mind. :')

[@liselothoekstra4914]

I'd love to watch an hour long interview just about drums or luke talking about all the guitars he has and michael as well and calum with precision bass

[@kh_ryota9926]

+Liselot x ikrrrr!!!

[@hemmingstho7788]

i love it when he gets technical talking about music because in interviews all they want to know about is their dream girls and new tattoos

[@leekeeboo]

True 😒

[@mariec5156]

this type of interview is 100x more interesting than what artists usually have to do (celebrity crushes and favourite dishes kind of stupid stuff). as a non-musician but music addict, i love to listen to the technics and types of instruments they use etc. and come on, look at how happy ash looks when he talks about his passion !! you go zildjian, thank u !!

[@Wild_intheuk]

yeaaaah he looks like a happy child with his toys ❤

[@jc3355]

This has got to be my favorite interview with Ash. Like he said in their movie, it's sad how music is the last thing asked about in interviews. This one is purely about his journey with drumming, how he developed his love for it and the types of drums he uses. I find that a lot more intresting than the "Who is your crush?" type of stuff other interviews do. And I think Ashton does as well.

[@Dreamer-ce1bb]

So true

[@staceynighriofa8632]

I have to say Ashton is the only member of the band who can handle these solo interviews he's incredibly professional and mature and crazy talented I just hope some day he can make his way further into the Rock industry along with the other 3 because when he talks about drumming and he talks about his influences you know that's where his heart is at

[@ayupwhatsthis8339]

Stacey Ní Ghríofa crazy how far they've come.

[@miairnell4535]

The 'rock industry' bit nearly broke my heart. I love the direction they are going in now, don't get me wrong, but there was just something so special about their punk-rock-ness 😖😥

[@speakofthedevil3216]

Michael is also pretty good at being a somewhat manageable dork

[@harsheh]

@@speakofthedevil3216 "ill be the iceberg you go down" yeah right manageable lmao

[@bandtrash4663]

I hate people who lie but THANK GOD HE LIED TO THIS DUDE AND STARTED PLAYING DRUMS 🙏

[@danidanidanidanida]

these interviews are way more fucking interesting than knowing if they have celebrity crushes or not

[@ravendavis7935]

I'm so happy that Ashton's being recognized more. He's such an amazing drummer and person.

[@rebeccateasdale8353]

what a great interview. I could listen to ashton talk about his drum set forever, he's so beautifully passionate about it.

[@aurioladieuseul1017]

omg ikr

[@QuesoQt]

I love Ashton's drumming a lot and I'm so proud of him and the band

[@GrievousAngel007]

no but seriously he is an amazing drummer and there need to be more interviews like this. there are so many amazing stories they can share as a band.

[@kh_ryota9926]

+Alley R so agree cuz these interviews r way more interesting.

[@ashleypoindexter6273]

Ash is a wicked drummer. He's so talented, and I know he's only going to get better as he gets older. Can't wait to see him in Nashville this July!

[@lizzy9881]

OMG IM GOING TO THAT SHOW ALSO!!

[@ashleypoindexter6273]

+KK Hemmings I'll be in 111

[@rachelirwin7333]

mom: how many times have you watched this video me: more than you wanna know

[@ariannarunpopp]

by far, hands down on of the BEST interviews I've ever come across. I adore listening to artists talk about their passion for music, and the way Ash's face lit up while talking about his set up and his background on the drums has made my day. I really need more interviews like this in my life.

[@AnalogSara]

What a great interview! I've never seen an interview were they've been asked about their instruments so thank you for this! It's absolutely fascinating hearing an expert talk about something they're so passionate about. Love to see more of these sorts of interview. Thanks for the great content!

[@carajade7428]

Im suprised he even remembers Swallow The Goldfish

[@uneasytrin]

I love that he got a whole interview for this. The way he plays you can just see the passion In his face and it's the best thing ever. Looking at Ashton makes me want to play drums but then I realise that I have no talent haha

[@briannawalker896]

I love how he still talks about Swallow The Goldfish so much. ❤️

[@applejuice1528]

Im so proud of Ashton hes come so far with the band and i love him so much hes done such a great job

[@rrrw.01]

The censorship beep on "I'm in deep sh*t" on 1:21 is just BRILLIANT.

[@icedcoldbrew]

i love ashton so much! he's like a big ball of sunshine and i love seeing him and 5sos preform live! he's so carefree, and when he drums you can see his love and passion, ashton is so unappreciated!

[@kh_ryota9926]

+Liz Lopez yessss ikr hes so freakin amazing but ppl dont rly give him enough credit just cuz hes the drummer..sad life... :(

[@kaittea]

this is the kind of interview I love to see as a 5sos fan. Like idc about celeb crushes I want to know about the music.

[@chelseacarlson5131]

Ashton is honestly so amazing, i just love him

[@VasundharaBagchi]

He's soo passionate while talking about his music, it makes me really happy to see that he's finally getting recognized for his talent.

[@lesliegutierrez4309]

4:16 is a really cute moment

[@PandaJade]

i want an interview dedicated to ashton talking about his drums, michael and luke talking about their guitars and cal talking about his bass, pls these are my favourite type of interviews

[@kjdashrew]

Dude holiday was the first song I covered too! Sick drumming, keep it up

[@lissi1321]

so Ash made a lie come true, not a dream. That's rad! 😁 He became an awesome drummer, i'm so proud. And i love how his eyes beginn to shine when he talks about his drums. I wanna hear more of his drum solos!

[@taylorvasquez9662]

this was just so cute to watch I don't know Ashton is just such a good guy and I'm so proud of him

[@itsft7932]

Day by day i love him more and more , he's incredible.

[@maddie.bolland.7]

This is such a wonderful interview! I love hearing Ashton talk about his love for music and how it developed! He is so passionate and talented, and such a lovely person too.

[@izzahmarzuki2550]

its so heart warming listening to him talk about his love for drums

[@hadiyah5713]

i love it when he makes those drumming faces because it shows his passion for drumming

[@hannahgrace8723]

I could listen him talk about drums and his happy moments for days. It makes me smile.

[@tlovemedia]

It's been over a year since the release of this interview, but I keep coming back because I find it so interesting. As an aspiring drummer myself, Ashton is such a huge inspiration to me. He's got sheer talent, and listening to him play is the greatest thing to me. Hearing about the cymbals and sticks he prefers is quite helpful and overwhelmingly cool. Quite possibly my favorite interview of all time. ((P.S. I've just gotten myself an A-custom ride and although it's used, it's incredibly awesome. Still working on swapping out some things and saving up the funds, but I'll always go for Zildjian!!))

[@fatimalardizabal1925]

seeing how passionate he is when he talks about this just makes me love him even more. can this guy be any more amazing? gosh, i love him.

[@sunriseseance]

Absolutely incredible dude. Wild and fun. Very creative and unique as well. Excited to see how he grows.

[@paulaceron7494]

I honestly just love listening to him play... We need more drum solos in the upcoming albums 👀

[@america8815]

I had no idea what he was talking about half the time because let's be really I don't know shit about drums but I loved listening him talk so passionate about what he loves

[@hannahbanana8542]

I could listen to him talk about drums all day! I love how passionate he is about drumming and music. I wish we had more interviews like these because I would much rather here them talk about music then who there celebrity crush is!

[@larissak808]

Tbh I would pay just to watch Ashton play the drums, he's so passionate about what he does! 😊

[@erikavazquez7606]

Slowly moving into Ashton's lane but then remembers that I'm a Michael girl

[@samanthajillianbernardo2252]

+Erika Vazquez same

[@mei-ud4tu]

ok same

[@lillylovebug9448]

okay but did i post this bc same

[@yeriscarat9241]

Ok me

[@elisecriqui1217]

DUDE! Me af rn!!! I've always been a Michael girl since 2012 and I just saw them for the first time in August and ever since I've been hard core swerving into Ashton's lane. TBH I did that with Zayn and Harry zayn girl from 2012 and then saw them in concert and was drifting to Harry.

[@leekeeboo]

Ashton girl heaven 😍😱 He's so PRECIOUS!! 💜

[@thatgeekybookworm375]

+Leekee-Duh-Boo girl me too

[@loganmiller5967]

This changed my perspective, sometimes it's good to learn from a lie for you to pursue things you want

[@vinniewhines]

he's a ray of sunshine im so proud of him he's so talented

[@agnese292]

it makes me so so happy to see him talking about something that he's so passionate about

[@boogie10042000]

you can tell how much he really cares about drumming and music in this interview, like, most people/interviewers ask the about JB and Selena Gomez and crap like that but we'd rather hear about what they love and how they've grown to love it. not dumb celebrity gossip, so thanks to whoever made this video 😆👍👌

[@lau5450]

ashton irwin the man of 1000 drumming faces 😍 omg i'm so in love

[@kitstml]

His kit is so beautiful and his skills are just getting better and better! I love videos where they really talk music and I bet Ash is so thrilled to do this kind of talk.

[@alannah653]

ash is such a down to earth, talented bloke and deserves more credit than he gets

[@rotembenziman3497]

He's so adorable

[@LouisLuke]

I love Ashton so much! His laugh, his accent and his talent are

[@bllkawsum]

Yes I would like to listen to Ashton jam and talk and laugh for the rest of my life please thank you.

[@superdestiny7392]

my mom always says lies dont get you anywhere , but now i know she was wrong. Ashton is just so talented and the loml

[@fabulousgirl0651]

Ash is a talented drummer true enough...but what else is great about him is that he can sing above the drums. He is so talented! I like these kind of interviews...about their music and about how they first started playing their interments. Good job Ash!

[@Violethayley16]

Awwwww he is the cutest thing ever. I love him so much and I'm very proud of him!! ❤️

[@aheartdown]

[@isabellavestrup3929]

He's such an inspiring, adorable, hot and motivating man

[@csillasalda2165]

[@luciemoor]

[@-camilleirwin1640]

I'm a MAJOR Ashton girl and I'm really happy to see he's finally talking about his passions. I mean, LOOK AT HIM HES SO HAPPY LIKE A BALL OF SUNSHINE. He's just too adorable when he talks about his drums. People should give him more credit because he's an amazing drummer. I love him so much it ruins my life :p

[@allieandbrynn3998]

after many years of being in the 5sos fam, I find it sad that I didn't know these things about him. more interviews need to be like this one instead of about what they look for in a girl.

[@elinalkefjall453]

im so proud of him

[@WongSylvie]

I'm such Ashton trash omfl I've lost track of how many times I've repeated this and for somE REASON 4:17 anyways. seeing how passionate he is for drumming makes me so so happy and proud omg

[@Carla-oy1rc]

[@theomgsee8217]

I wish they each would get an interview like this

[@nereatejedor5832]

I love when they do interviews like that cause they show they pation about music and that's awesome

[@melodyrong]

splash cymbals are the cutest thing i have ever played in percussion and I LOVE ZILDJIAN CYMBALS. so just the fact that you guys featured ashton in one of your videos is amazing

[@dopedaphne]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS FINALLY AN INTERVIEW ABOUT THEIR MUSIC NOT IRRELEVANT QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL LIVES

[@TheSoAngie]

i really love this kind of interviews, all about the music. he's so talented, i'm glad to hear the story behind it

[@jdi191007]

i can listen to him talk about drums all day

[@chloekeene27]

Wow, big fan of this. I love hearing musicians talk about their music because they just light up.

[@venus3086]

He is amazing, he is talented, he is a beautiful human being.

[@victoriabailey9821]

Drums fascinate me so much, there's something about them I've always loved like srsly

[@sibahnadeem]

This video is soo cute .These are the kinda interviews i really appreciate. Ash looks soo cute and i love his little story. I love him soo much and i love 5SOS soo much . they are my life and i honestly do not know what i'd do without them.

[@morganwynn7099]

I loved this interview! I wished they talk about music more. Ashton looked so happy talking about something he Ioves and is passionate about.

[@lexyblue1959]

This interview is really great! My favourite interview of a drummer would be of Josh Dun because in my opinion he's one of the best drummers ever and I just love seeing drummers talk about drums because they don't usually get to talk about it much.

[@downthecliff7875]

I finally found this interview!! Love it!!!

[@bellaskye7868]

That was a great video. Not just because of my love for Ashton but because I love hearing music or just talking about music. I love learning about the different sounds you can make on drums, bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar,singing, more instruments that I could list on and on about, or just random mixes on a computer. Music is wonderful in all types of ways....

[@carolinedickenson9607]

The passion in this interview! 👌🏻😍

[@MelissaB724]

I love hearing how happy he is talking about music oh my gosh

[@vic3041]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE INTERVIEWS EVER
