- Walking through the Vegas strip, and we came across an absolutely insane street performer, a bucket drummer going by the name of "Matthew Pretty" - a.k.a "bucket boy". Without commenting on Pretty's youthful good looks, he killed it in his performance. Wait for the finale starting at 9:00...

I like his direct approach: "Give me Money." I ain't mad at him. Im sure he makes a killing because he's really good.
I respect a good hustle.
It’s cuz he a professional
Before many many years i lived on the streets for a few years..I knew a dude who played on the streets.. He made amazing money.. On a good day sometimes around 800 - 900 when he played the whole day..
@@Blechtaenzer jesus man that is some Great money to make but is way harder than what people think it is.... Hope your doing great yourself
Wait!! Everyone... WAIT!! .... .... Give me Money, 🤣 can’t possibly hate on it, the delivery is flawless
I love how this guy interacts with the crowd.
Agree. Its so unique and different from other drummers.
No, but i love you

Goes to show when your good you don’t need expensive set of drums, outstanding
And as a contrast to this, I sit behind my 1000+ dollar drum kit.. The best I can do sounds like a two year old hitting buckets and pans with a wooden spoon.
I'm a guitar player, I just have drums to mess around every once in a while and so I can jam without people having to bring their own kits...
But before this drum kit I had one that I bought for like 50 bucks off someone, sounded like absolute garbage. The cymbals sounded like garbage can lids, literally. The snare sounded like... You'd rather have the snare on St. Anger any day of the week. It was awful. I was much younger at this time and was considering actually trying to learn. I could not for the life of me play anything that sounded even close to what you'd call good, unless it was keeping a beat for another instrument, or a song. I thought it was the kit for sure. It was a cheap POS, of course it's the kit..... Then a buddy came over, who's a drummer, and started jamming on it...
That's when it really hit home for me that if you're good at an instrument you can make just about anything that resembles said instrument sound good. Practice, not gear, is what makes you a better player. If you're not playing how you want to be, buying new gear isn't going to change that and make you sound like a professional. Lots of people think this is true and are very disappointed when they've spent a whole paycheck, just to sound like the same infant beating on, strumming, attempting to play their instrument. Albeit a much more expensive instrument.
Daniel Nelson he only learned to play this good from playing actual drums...
@@meirfivenight3442 The point of my comment was not, "you can be excellent at an instrument, even if you never own said instrument!"
Though I have no doubt if someone practiced the buckets as long as this guy likely practiced on a real drum kit, they'd be pretty damn good at playing the buckets would they not?
@@danielnelson4881 I found this not to be true. Having equipment that works, stays in tune, and is enjoyable to play is a major advantage. Having better equipment does help.
Exactly
The most impressive part is how he conducts the crowd while playing on some improvised instruments so well.

wow, he's very good 👍. Like that ending "Give me money!" 😂
For the comments about him being "pushy for the money": This guy busts his butt… They don't exactly throw money around on the streets of Vegas. He employs a number of honest and good-natured techniques, all of which are only designed to ensure that he gets his just remuneration for the entertainment he provides. This guy is a genius on the drums, and charismatic with his solicitation. I don't think many of us have ever had to work on the streets in order to survive. So just like this, share it, and please try and get the "bucket boy" (a.k.a. Mathew Pretty) the recognition he so deserves.
Viva Frei gr8 comment..
Idc it makes me not want to give him money. I would probably throw him a 5 if i saw him and he wasnt pushy but not in this scenario
Give the guy a break, yeah he was pushy but was he up in there face forcing them to give him money. No . I'm with you Viva Frei he's a street performer so he makes money from what he does and yes he seems "pushy" but no one had a look of fear like they were being forced to give there money to him. Nope they laughed along with it because he was being funny about it.
Yo Viva, I agree with you a hundred percent , but I hope you have given Matthew 'the bucket boy' Pretty some of the revenue from this video!
Try being a street performer and not making a point about money...
That's where the broke street performers go wrong! ;D
He genuinely makes his living from doing this, you can feel it in the performance, it's not just some side gig, this is how the man eats. Respect.
How fast he draws a crowd! It’s a short show but he showcases his technical ability and speed but the way he captivates the crowd is most impressive. A true performer!
WAIT!WAIT!WAIT EVERYONE, GIVE ME MONEY !😂👌
El Jugador :v si
RICH PEOPLE IN THE FRONT !!!!!! jahahahhahahaha, LMAO
Don't Be Scared I'm a Professional that's why i work in the streets hahahaha....
He has a skill that very few talented people have Keeping people happy with Humors!!!
Joel Tomas "If you don't have money that's okay... there's an atm machine over there"
I've seen multiple street performers and in all honesty, their jokes are all the same: references to how much money then need and why they are still working on the street. They also love to bring kids in to the mix and applaud the kids for helping them out.
Lea x 👍👍👍
Get this guy on AGT because he deserves his own show in Vegas
One of the best ever videos on you tube. Evvveeeer.....!!!!! I play drums, but I can't imagine what he can do behind a set of drums... What a terrific personality to top it off... Thank you sir for sharing your talents...
1:46 Pikachu and charmander had to come to the physical relm to hear this guy drum 😂😂
good catch boi
I didn't even notice them, how did I miss that?
I saw them I thought it was hilarious
Yes
I was hoping someone else saw them. I thought I was seeing things at first.
"How old are you? Seven?? Well guess what??? That's how old I was when I was your age!" Omg I cant breathe.
Anna Brady yeah, he really was great
Anna Brady i dont understand what does it mean.. u mind? :) Thanks you
Muhammad shaiful Shaiful It's like saying "How tall are you? (5') Wow that's how tall I was when I was 5'!" Joke being that he was obviously the same age when they were the same age.
You can't breath?? Bit OTT

BulletTruth1989 no........
Bulle
Viva Frei oh that explains a lot xD
10:03 ladies and gentlemen wait! Wait Wait !!! Give me money!!
Thank you for this. I just learned about bucket drumming last month when I was subbing a number of days in a middle school special ed classroom. This is the first band teacher who ever brought the special ed classes in, and it took a lot of doing to get it going. Hardly any of the students have the ability to manipulate keys or strings, let alone blow wind instruments, but he figured everyone can drum. So he went to Home Depot and they donated 60 buckets. He bought the drumsticks from band class funds. And it actually sounds pretty good when those kids drum in unison! I was getting paid to listen to a performance. Granted, they're not as advanced as this guy -- he's very entertaining. I'll have to tell the regular classroom teacher about this video so she can show it to her students as inspiration to keep playing!
This was on my UA-cam feed this morning! Excellent video!
10:25 - little kid says " daddy, why cant i give him a dollar" dad says "what?" " why cant i give him a dollar"? filming abruptly stops. lol
Notta Quad dude, I had already given that guy all the liquid cash I had in my pockets! No joke :-) it wasn't much, but that's only because I don't have a lot of money.
Viva Frei . its very easy for people with no idea to make ignorant comments. assumption is usual the base of most dramas in life . the old saying ASSUME makes an ass out of u and me. don't sweat someone else assumptions mate. it ain't worth it.
I am ignorant in one way- because i was not there in person. But my pointing out of what made me laugh is in no way an assumption. You have done assumed yourself into a corner. Viva Frei rock on buddy
Notta Quad . please do explain why its so funny that he stopped filming after he could no longer give a dollar then. if im wrong I'll admit it.
are you making "assumptions" about my sense of humor? if you don't see the humor in the way the video ended the way that i do- then i cant explain it to you. sorry buddy :( wish i could get you to lighten up about life. you dont need to admit anything. it didn't seem like Viva Frei was too offended either. He offered his explanation and the discussion was over. it really didnt seem like he was "sweating" my comment. lmao Viva Frei seems like he has way more exciting things to worry about in his life than this. that being said- so do it- like go fly my mini quad. Deuces !
"Rich people in the front hahah"
Who needs a thousand dollars worth of drums when you have masters like this that turn anything into masterpieces!
AMEN to That!!! 🙌 💖🎯😍
I love this, "Wait! Wait!.....Give me money!!!" That is literally the best part. It just makes my day. It's awesome.

As a drummer I could learn from this brother. And I love how he not only is passionate about his drumming gift but he’s got a sense of humor too
Now that's what I call IMPROVISING and RAW TALENT
He seems way too professional to be drumming in the street on buckets :P
He without a doubt is a professional drummer. If you could go and practice your craft and make what looks to be 50 - 100 bucks an hour wouldn't you?
Michael Benhuri: Absolutely !!
Pug Bandito take a look at Gordo :P he's the true bucket drumming master!
doenst really sound professional, he gots a bad rythm
What are you smokin
did any body else hear the kid at the end "I like the show but I don't have any money" 10:14

*the Charmander And Pikachu used Twerking On Rhythm*
It was super effective on Crowd XD
Was gonna say that lmao
so funny when he said "wait..wait give me money" LOL
Pretty annoying behavior imo tho... If you choose to play on the streets, you want to draw people to your talent and share that. But with this mentality you silently say "if you aren't gonna pay you shouldn't stay" and, I don't know.. It just throws me off so greatly!...
I guess a single hint or two would've been ok, but he was beeeegging for the whole show!!
How can he even expect people who've watched the show to not have already put money in that bucket if they wanted to when it was all he was speaking about, when not doing a bad joke or imitations of mgk around kids? 😅
@@1Pineapple because hints etc. Don't work. Being persistent and making it a joke is highly effective.
1. He actually wanted to get some of the tippers involved, but barely any people came forward at the right time.
2. It's a numbers game. You're never going to get 100% of people to tip. Because not everyone tips. But the more you ask the more people remember hey this is allowing the man to do stuff with his life.
3. People still standing there are there to watch the show. Cool. He is there hoping some of them will throw him some money. It's a mutual deal.
4. He does make it clear that if people don't have money it's okay. But if everyone gave just a little bit, it would be more than enough.
5. People don't realize how simple it is to just give someone a couple of bucks. Someone practiced their skill for hours, and came over to a convenient spot for you, and doesn't ask you specifically for money over and over. He's asking a crowd. When people leave and go and may or may not have heard him ask for tips enough time for them to actually head him and consider it. If he can do so, while practicing an art, and making fun of it as a showman, then by all means he should.
6. You may have a problem with him asking several times. But most people sit there for several minutes watching him, and don't give anything. Several straight up record it and share it with hundreds of friends. And what? He only realistically expects a couple of bucks. I never sit there watching a performer and not tip. Lots of people do. Him being pushy is effective. Sorry not sorry.
7. Would you sit there for longer and longer to see if people will tip? Or if asking throughout your performance in a style that works that increases what the audience tips in time window similar to when you don't ask be something you're just too good to do? Too bad, because facts are you'd get less

It bothers me that people don't understand that he is working his ass of for that cash. Even is he wasn't joking (Which he obviously was, and for confirmation the crowd laughs at his jokes here and there throughout the video) the guy lives on the streets. It would totally make sense if he were a little pushy for that cash. Try thinking about yourselves in that position, living on the streets and practice using buckets as drums. God bless bucket boy.
Ferrix How do you know he lives on the streets?
Not really their problem that he decided his career would be drumming on buckets
Dude he does not live on the street. Look at his clothing. He's totally clean and groomed, has branded Shoes. Stopp talking bs
i was homeless for a year, had nice clothing, totally clean and groomed and "branded" shoes. because if ya dont, you get treated like shit. creed, you are an idiot. you have to use your money to keep up your appearances otherwise you will just never get out of being homeless.
