So great! The world needs more Harry! Thank you for sharing him... Dude. Ps. His Ted talk is inspiring!

[@drh490]

I am another drummer who loved watching Harry play drums! Harry please put out more videos! Miss you, dude!

[@nickmcgregor5039]

Dude! The dude is back dude!

[@groundedmike]

Dude, totally!

[@ttuclarinet]

To Harry (Dude!), you'll probably never see/read this though I hope you do. You have no idea how excited I am anytime I see you come up somewhere like this video or a new video that you put out. You are truly one of the most sincere people I have seen create videos on any topic. Your passion for the drums and the way you speak is what I, and I'm sure many other people, love about you. You exude joy for life and speak so intelligently in a way that is infectious and positively. I first found you from your "Journal of a Suicide Survivor" video and I have never been so affected by a video. Being a music teacher I was then drawn to your drumming videos and have been hooked ever since. I know you are super busy and am definitely not asking you to make videos because I have no idea what your schedule is or if you even have the motivation for them anymore. I just wanted to send my gratitude - grati-dude? - for being a bright spot on KZbin and wanted to say that I miss seeing you around this part of the internet. I wish all the best for you, dude!

[@jerrymckenzie1858]

Yes we like Harry’s videos, but we really like Harry for so many reasons.

[@3RNHRT]

You found Harry!!! I was worried when he stopped posting videos.. Thanx for the catch up..

[@zakkbeard]

he got the hardy gig, and things have been KINDA busy for him lol

[@shadesthedrummer]

Excellent podcast! I came to hear from Harry. I'm a drummer who's trying to learn more about the industry and Harry has been one of the most real dudes out there who's talking about it! Thank you!

[@hoboonwheels]

I drove a bus briefly on the Hardy / Lainey Wilson tour and was stoked to see Harry in the band. I wanted to talk to him as I was more excited to see him than Hardy or Lainey haha. Although, as professional drivers, we are not supposed to geek out over our clients lol. Anyway, Harry is awesome and a monster drummer!

[@justaguy5770]

That sounds like an interesting job to have, I'm sure it's not all fun but driving for a tour would be kinda cool

[@Markleford]

MyDude Miree. Whenever you want to drop another video, we'll be waiting. Happy to see you doing what you love with Hardy!

[@gadrockduke]

As a musician (bassist) and fellow Alabamian, it's so refreshing to see Harry active in some capacity again! He's such a great dude and musician! 🤘🏻 Dudes!

[@michaelcaudle1129]

Been following Harry since the beginning---although my drumming is now in my review mirror I still love watching the DUDE!!!!

[@Az_1987]

Really cool interview. Great job fellas

[@thefunkybeautiful]

Ohhh Ze Frank. Great reference. Still makes some great 'True Facts' about animals on youtube that are bloody hilarious, but I used to enjoy his little vids and flash/swf/web interacive videos on his site. How to Dance Properly etc. Lovely to see Harry Miree sharing his 'wisdom' with us. We love that man.

[@groundedmike]

19:49 I totally see how music is addictive. I went through my own 10 year addiction.

[@cysquatch08]

More Harry content? Gotta go tell the other 499 folks about it

[@tripburding2227]

Love to hear from a Drummer

[@JulianFernandez]

Dudeee!

[@Charlieh1989]

I don't know who that is masquerading as Harry Miree because they sure ain't wearing a black v-neck and jacket.

[@CarnivoreguyScott]

Sorry, I’m a podcast neophyte, but why do they have to wear headphones when they’re sitting like 6 feet apart ?

[@robinthe8057]

I'm right there with you with the headphones. New to listening/watching podcasts and wondered the same. I've seen others in the same type of setting wearing headphones too. Maybe there's someone in their ear telling them to move on to the next subject? That would make some kind of sense, but really don't see that happening here as it's very much just conversational and not point to point talk.

[@bg357wg]

I guess it also might might help them have a better idea of what is being recorded into the podcast…helps them check and adjust in real time how loud they are speaking, or the manner in which they are speaking (as in the tonal qualities and whatnot, how the microphone is picking up and processing their voice)…and also balance between themselves too both voices, etc etc

[@Jack_Attack_2580]

@@bg357wgexactly, it’s essentially the same as why musicians are using in-ear monitors on stage
