Filmed in Quincy Market, Boston. - Розваги
The sad thing is he probably didn't make any money off this video and it could have supported him, 12 million views, wow!
MONETIZE THAT SHIT !!
If everyone who had seen this video game him only 1 dollar he would now be a fucking millionaire.. :D
***** noticing on how big that bucket is, he probably did expect around 10 millions :)
or at least give him a plus 1 if they liked the video
Shadout Music Gotta replace those broken drum sticks somehow.
8 years... but this is still one of my favorites. wonder how is this genius guy doing now.
I can’t wait to show him this comment 🥹 so sweet !
Yup same here to this day 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯
Watched this 10 years ago and now I'm rewatching it and enjoying it at the same time.
Hi
❤
This is by far the best street drummer I have ever seen, and I have seen none.
This guy is phenomenal, the rhythms, beats and continual play is just amazing. To imagine him getting his hands on a full kit is something to be watched for. Brilliant.
Came for drums.
Stayed for drums.
My brother from another mother, LAWRENCE 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 he was classically trained from a very young age, representing PRINCETON ST EAST BOSTON 💯💯💯 we grew up LISTENING to him play almost every night
Lol yep since he was 5, that my cousin ❤ he’s not from East Boston though 😂 Dorchester first ! ❤❤❤❤
I've been playing drums all my life...honestly speaking I started playin like this but at this level I can't do this, it is very very hard for me. Hes absolutely amazing. I have no match on this guy. Hands on you sir! Very very good!
Drums are hard when you begin but they get easier over time i play drums when i need to blow off steam or had a long day at school and when i need to practice lol
:-)
Someone give him a real drum set 👍
Varietygirl1 Wow who are you to comment here?
Varietygirl1 Hi
Varietygirl1 agreed
Varietygirl1 Bye 😀
Varietygirl1 JK 😀😀
I love how this is like a "stream of consciousness" performance, I sincerely think he has no set routine, he just plays whatever beat that comes to mind
indeed!
I'm 27 now, I seen this when i was 14 and I still gotta come back to listen to the way he just does his thing
I love these guys! Every time I see them, I always drop a few bucks into their buckets and I just love to watch them play. I could watch these guys for hours!
He's very talented, but when u can't afford the real thing u use an alternative which in his case is buckets. Give him some credit for doing something constructive, atleast he's not robbing people.
ya ur right (Y)
your freaking right
Cuppy Face it's a lot worse things than robbing such as murder & rape. It's good to see a young person being creative, that's all I'm saying.
Damn right he's not robbing people. They're giving their money to him freely.
That's racist. Lol.
Many great street drummbers out there, I think he has the most creative drum patterns Ive heard and flows insane,,,The transitions you cant teach,,,the drop at 4:04 is sick
He has been playing the drums since he was five years old. He also plays the saxophone, the piano, the guitar, engineers music, and produces music along with playing a number of other instruments. His name is Lawrence Sullivan. He was also on the Apollo. I think it was here it was I think I was like eight years old (98).
The most amazing thing about this performance is the dirt cheap set of "drums" he's playing on. Imagine what he could do with a full set of real drums.
Pretty much the same.
Jonas Tautvydas Nasliunas Just like comparing Fire with Plasma huh?.
if he could just get a real drum set, he could sell them for a good amount of crack money, then he can get high and go drum sitting in the gutters of a street beating on pots and pans, more videos of his talent will be made and we all win, really!!
ill post a video of me playin real drums soon! i'll keep you guys posted.
@@lawrencesullivan673 ayo bro you alive?
Maaaan, every time I come back to this I realize how much of a piece of art it is!
Besides the talent and the determination of this guy, I love the fact that no matter what, he never stops :D his sticks can fall, not be the right ones, no matter, THE SHOW MUST GO ON !
One word: Briliant.
he needs to find a band . Some one who needs a great drummer . Excellent.
He makes more money doing street performances
I agree he is awesome
полностью согласен
One of the things that you really have to appreciate about a video like this is that you can visibly see he is actually FEELING the music he's making.
Prayers up for Lawrence. 🙏 Follow your dream kid. You got this. You can make this a career. Diligence. Don’t ever give up...😍
If I book him for a wedding, will he wear a shirt?
I think the shirtless-ness is extra $$$
U got married?
yes i will sir, of course a shirt and tie if you like.
Maybe your girl mi8 run away with him..
@@AkkiKL36 Of course he he would youre paying him.
We need a 10 hour version of this guy. He is amazing
This video is on the net for so long. keep it alive!!!!!!!
This just goes to show that people can, and will, make music in any way that they can. Well done :)
OH GOSH! can't take it anymore, He's so good.
Yup he is :D
agreed! :D
Imagine if he had a dollar for every "Like"...
+Erin Brown he should...
+Erin Brown well this video made 28,649.99 so he should probably be back on his feet
+Jonny DeMont Who, the videographer? I'm not sure he tracked down this performer after viral pay dirt.
He would be a millionaire with over 19 million $$$
he could buy a drum kit lol
Years later, I now put the guitar up, and got sticks. This guy really is one of the best on youtube!
Holly crap!!!!! Simply stunning! That Young man plays well drums with scrap! 1001 congratulations to that street artist!...
Lawrence is awesome! He has some serious talent. He's seeking a drum kit to get him back in action.
You can find him on that popular funding app.
What are you talking about ?
there are 851 people that don't have a clue..this dude is so sick!
Cool man..I remember when I was like the 301st viewer and now has over 17 million views makes me wanna cry :')
Naaa bruh. I’ve only seen this video only now ? Talent at its best👏🏼
This guy kills it!!! Especially at 1:33. Awesome job
I tried this at home and my neighbours called the police
stop lying
LOL
lol
Simon Ahnberg nice hahahahhahaha
Oof
Ive been watching you man a hundred times .!! Just hit the goddamn shoes!!
In 2023 I still come back and watch this video.
That transition at 4:00 though :0 😵
better than any drum solos i've seen in concerts!
This guy has skills. Very Creative with his beats and does no cease to impress.
Does not bore people with the same beat over and over.
You are one of the best street drummers I've seen so far! I can see how you have over 12 million views..That's whats up!
They sell his drum kit at Home Depot! LOL on a serious note, this man deserves a career!
Who needs drums if you have buckets?
freakin' brilliant! can't help but just let my head bang back with the cool beat :)
Awesome! I'm really impressed, seriously...
imagine while he plays this, if some asian guys opened up into a choreographed kung fu fight perfect to the beat of the drums
There the Asians go, one upping everybody again!
FOR ASIA!!! CHARGE!!!
i think ur right ,,,,ya,ya ya haik...........
Nagpur,video
sometimes I think that people are better with buckets than a true drum set. but he could also just use his talent on a drum set and then he'd probably be an extreme master and these guys should be famous.
It's not too hard to impress people who don't play drums.
he actually mastered the drums first, he plays many instruments
+Te5la231 you're definitely not wrong there. I giggle when I see friends play drums in person, even if it's just a basic kick and snare pattern with some hi hat thrown on there. lol
its amazing to see the talented street performers...If I had the money I would get him a drum set...he needs to be in a band!!
creativity is amazing, and its amazing what you can do with your imagination into reality!!
imagine what he could do with some real drums :D
he probably has a drum kit at home its just to much hassle to carry that around plus he wouldn't get as much money from playing on buckets
SuperZero1225 What if he doesn't have a "home" to go to :(
PK Kahugz he has money to get tattooes
Dominik Jandrisevits Nothing of special, i think
Dominik Jandrisevits
I want him in my metal band.
ohh, this video. give me a inspiration.. good job man..
He's awesome! Playing drums with buckets was never cross in my mind before I see this video...
wah beneran keren nih, kayaknya emang drummer profesional yah Endry ^_^
Iya ahahaha
Awesome!! He should be featured on Ellen!!
I think it's horrible when people talk shit about videos when more than half of y'all couldn't do half of this on anything. Drums or buckets and to think you clicked the video to watch it you must've been really interested or jug wanted to take time out of your worthless day to talk shit about somethan you can't do. Smh
So true bro
thanks bro i appreciate you for that and i totally agree it def took hard work,sweat, tears,and practice to get to where im at today so thank you Mr. glasgow much love and respect kid!
I love his choices of equipment - great!!
This is the first.... drum skills i've seen on youtube... revisiting the video...
Hes got fast hands and got good talents
Impressive
With all that filming you were doing there I hope u gave him some money.
Word! though he gave him a video with 12 million views and posted how to contact him for hire Id be happy with that too
i love that breakdown brooooooo awesome!!!
Great understanding of rhythm. Great skill. Truly talented drummer.
Awesome stuff, but can he play anything by Paganini?
HA he could replace an entire drum line.
in africa or mexico maybe
like your style and rythm bro!!! keep doing what you do mang!!!
thats awesome!!!! more than 14million views... respect from MALAYSIA!
if he was in a band,
lol.
he was in one, then they caught him stealing the bands profits to buy crack, this has happend three times with this guy now
Sometimes it just needs some tubs. Power percussion, I'd say. :) Great #StreetArt
And my fingers crossed! Bravo!
You're out of this world, WOW AWESOME....
i think those buckets are sound great than a real drum.we also can save some money from buying a drum.hahaha!
mala suppiah I was just thinking the same thing.
Sinbreaker thank you
***** welcome
Yeah I want those buckets
+Rich person719 yeah you can find them anywhere
Is one of his drums a shoe?
no, he just took it off
hes hitting the pan
Is his invisible leg
No, it's his art work,to hold his drums in place.💡🤑👍💖👽🎊🌟🎉🤪😁🤘
I like this dude's beats! Feelin' the steez...
Very cool....he's a natural. Rock on Joshua!!!
His name is Lawrence Sullivan. And he is an amazing person and very good friend of mine. And also has a baby with my cuzin. I consider him family. I miss you Lawrence. Hope all is well.
were is he now?? Hope he's financial problem is solved.
He is doing well. Living in boston with his family.
He is doing “okay” we pray for better days for him but you know L , he is a survivor. Which baby ? Jojo or Bella ?
@@PrettyFinessa bella ❤
Holy Shit its Vegan Gains...
hahahahaha
All I can say is - "Mind = Blown" His setup sounds so figgin amizing, but i looks like it would all sound like tapping. Wow!
The greater problem for haters is to understand that most of the so called "street drummers" are actual talented real musicians with skills and great tecnique. Good performance.
Awesome! He should have a paypal account.. I'd throw him a few bucks.
Sean Liebrand what you think of this? Crazy!!!
Damn!
This guy is very good and very creative. I would love to hear him with a band using those drums.
Ben Liebrand wtf whole fam
QuickLode yea, why not!
Yeah!
i used to play the drums with emty buckets when i was a kid, so much fun, have fun that's what life is about just have fun brother
Just one word....... WOW!!!! I'm speachless!!!!
This is great, but this is also what happens when you cut art and music programs in school.
Petrasyan !_)
I agree!
Dude went to berkeley school of music guys... check his facebook.
the best is the black Shirt lol POLIZEI ^^ Police ^^
This guy is lawrence sullivan , that has been playing for a long long time , very talented!!
Keep up the great work!!
Haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate.
unless the feet are involved you can't class some an amazing drummer, drumming solely with your arms, doesn't take that long to get to a high level of talent. What makes drumming difficult to newbies is separating your arms and legs, so all four limbs can work independently.
Saying that he does make a nice sound with the equipment he has in the video.
Couldn't agree more
Agree 100%
Good point but still awesome. Just proves you don't have to play a real kit to get an awesome sound.
Ste Channon right, but it does take practice to get really good
oh i completely agree
very nice this goes to show if you love music you can do with what you have. I bet he would kill it with real drums
amazing talent!!! good job broo...
His pan Is a little sharp.
those people who dislike must be deaf...
Bruh, I'm deaf but not blind...
G R E A T !!!!.... real talented and so amazing is use of the sticks too !
saw this guy while on port visit in Boston. gotta say the guy got serious skill
if your going to hate then don't post to it are you doing it. ........NO
Yeah people are assholes
Steve-o..?
Nah, this one is without the shits and shits.
Never gets old for this vid in 2020 , he's actually fighting corona with those drum beats 😶
Max Roach of the buckets. Love the way he changes sticks- from another bucket. Bucket Master Joshua.
Which city is this ?
Downtown Boston, Massachusetts
he looks like steve o from jackass !!
woah. I mean seriously. this is AWESOME :D
being a musician I find this AMAZING
he's really one of the best drummers i've ever seen.
