[@warmfreeze]

my next door neighbor's kid had a band..the neighbors on the other side of them complain all the time about the noise..i don't mind listening to them ..they are a decent band for teenagers..and it saves that tiny bit of electricity of turning on the radio when i'm cleaning the house on weekends LOL anyway ..neighbors complained so much that i had them set up in my garage on weekends so they can't complain as much..and the baby excuse is bullshit..i have a 6mo daughter that will sleep through it when they are playing in the garage.. and/or sit there in her walker listening to them quietly dancing and cheering them on.. I look at it like this...these kids are doing something productive with their lives and are not out running the streets doing drugs and gang bangin..

[@GregoryThomas13Equality]

something productive with their lives? watch the first min of the video again. .. you call tks productive.? then obviously you have zero respect. this is what's wrong with this world.

[@averytraynor8735]

+Gregory Thomas honestly mate, I feel like there's bigger problems in the world than some kids playing an instrument.

[@michielvanderheyden4960]

+Gregory Thomas It was obviously a joke what they did in the intro, so don't worry about that lol. I agree with these people commenting here. Neighbors can always put something in their ears so they don't hear the musicians playing behind their walls. Playing music is always productive, especially drums because it's good for one's health and relieves stress (even to the listeners), playing with other people is a bonding experience as well. Many people are just so fucking intolerant these days. +warmfreeze I think it's so kind of you to aid them to play music together haha, nice!

[@GregoryThomas13Equality]

behind there walls? and its a joke? dude your making alot of stretchs here to make your point. They are outside 1 did you ask them if they were joking? 2 do they not say the lady has a baby that havings problems with them playing outside? music is productive absoultely.. but in this circumstance there is none. maybe you need to rewatch the vid and then look at your comment again. I dont think it was relieving any stress with the neibhour or her baby. your a juvy i get it.... have some respect and dont comment bullshit. making shit up

[@ianbyrne465]

I know this isn't the point of the video, but this is my opinion of who won. The guy on the right in the green shirt in my opinion handled the fills better than the left man did. But the left man was much more diverse in his use of the drums and cymbals. (Might have partially been because he had a larger kit.)But this is my opinion, they were both good

[@ethanmarsingill]

both had their strengths

[@jakemode]

my thoughts exactly. spot pn

[@eddyary3679]

Green shirt on the right actually used double bass when he was supposed to though. that won it for him in my opinion. and he nailed it even though the other guy poked him in the back with his stick.

[@tsmistyfoxx9142]

Agreed. I also think in this case, LESS is MORE, and the excessive amount of drums looks like it could limit and/or give less experienced drummers a harder time. The way i interpreted it, Guy in Green (Mack?) was smoother more consistent, and had critical positioning with less agressive play( less twisting and muscle work) almost like he had it down pat on muscle memory alone , while I've been told not to play drums like Brandon( Guy in White ) and more like Mack. Brandon played great considering how much more complex his setup looks. The way Brandon plays is my general play-style, but I see where my faults lie by watching how much energy he exerts with his play-style and why I can't go for long myself. Having so many cymbals and drums seemed detrimental to his playstyle in contrast to Mack. That being said, I'd go for Green Shirt's Drumset before dumping money to have ALL the drums and cymbals I can get.

[@Akakiryuushin]

as someone with no experience with drums or playing music the guy on the right just looked like he played better to me for some reason

[@HairyMonkeyification]

[@Jhariah]

I can understand people saying that they're jerks but they're drummers and they have to play somewhere. If I were a drummer I'd want to play in my backyard. It only makes sense. Telling a two drummers to "keep it down" is like knocking on that ladies door and asking her to stop her babies from crying. They're playing drums not a radio. You can't adjust the volume. You DONT adjust the volume. If they feel like playing the drums let them. If you need or your kid needs to sleep that's your business. Just let them play their music.

[@alexjb99]

If they played this good, I'd like to hear them drum all the time. There's a kid a few houses removed from mine that drums pretty kick ass and I like hearing his beats on the drums.

[@yourrealdad9442]

for everyone that thinks they're being jerks... as long as it's after 6 AM, and before 9 PM, they can do whatever the f**k they want with drums, and yes, it may be a bit douchy, however HOW ELSE ARE THEY GONNA PRACTICE?! If someone gets mad because they're practicing and keeping them up... tell 'em to suck it up, they have their rights, and they need to practice. As a drummer, I can definitely back this up.

[@erikbarrett85]

and as a drummer with a child I understand that you should practice on your garage

[@deadramaster]

+erikbarrett85 Thats actually a great idea, but how do you get your gear on the roof?

[@erikbarrett85]

Chompski dude, are you fucking serious!!!??? God dammit you kids these days....ugh, ok listen up. Take your drums apart, and just ONE AT A TIME, toss them up to a buddy stationed on the garage. Haven't you ever watched labour roofers these days. This generation of kids man, ugh, it's OBAMA's fault.
