Drums r the sexiest instrument plz dont be mad lulz
It’s so wild to me that most people can’t play the basic rock beat. I always forget that it’s not like breathing to everyone
Same
right?? i could do this in my sleep but if i were to try to play what a pianist or guitarist calls a simple riff or line, i would feel like one of these ppl lmfaoooooo. really goes to show the massive leap you have to take when starting an instrument
my hands and feet just dont sync, my wrists also dont move the stick like it should. idk
I always find it odd that not everyone plays music. Or sees a guitar or drums and is like eh.
im sure if i dedicated a few weeks to drums i could play a basic rock beat
The ending when the guy started freestyling and they all were grooving made me smile like crazy. Impeccable vibes.
Music is such a universal language. It has a way of bringing people together!
that's why I love (making) music so much!
That redeemed the whole video in my opinion.
Looked for this comment
the ending is really fucking great
I sometimes forget how fricking difficult drumming is for non-drummers
I was just about to say the same thing
Even me who’s just a bassist was looking was watching like bruh
Me too I’m an insane drummer
I’m a bassist and I can lay a groove on a drum it just comes natural to me
@@GoldenBoyDims I play guitar and bass and same, since I literally need to for my one man band
Props to these folk for having courage to try it. As a guitarist that jumps in the drum cage any chance I get, I feel like a drum bad ass now.
as a guitarist i can confirm this, i jump on drum every chance i got lol
same here lol
too relatable
As a guitarist and a bassist I annoy my grimmer a lot by getting in his kit.
As a drummer, I'm contractually obliged to be annoyed lol
The last guy was easily the best with the hip hop groove
bro hit the lunch table rap beat
Idk, that one white dude was staying with the metronome pretty well! His coordination was obviously lacking, but if you listen to his snare hits they are spot on
That was legit some Run DMC shit thoo
Sounds a lot like the drums from "the prowl" by Dan Auerbach.
@@akiolam8715 LOL accurate
It’s always the bassdrum. The dealbreaker
My friends all struggled on drums on rock band but I was the only one that could do it after bending my brain around the coordination lol. It’s hard at first but it does get easier
Taylor, yep, everything takes practice practice practice. Set your mind to it and any instrument will become much easier to play. I hope that’s what people get from this video
@@taylorjohnson5148 counting helped me learn the drums as a kid
the leg killer
Using three limbs is too much. Heh
3:46 damn she really hit it with a 3/4 rythm
lmfao
She was feeling 3 🤷♂️
Can we coordinate the next time you do this so I can show up in a disguise and play offset by a 16th, then you tell me I suck and I have to rethink my life top to bottom, then it ends with me in a ditch drinking southern comfort directly from the bottle before you show up and say “aaaaaw dog I was just kidding”, then I say “I was too!” and rip off the disguise?
Maybe you'll meet up with the first guy who went for a drink too
That was oddly specific
@@marsjokes and somehow Neil Patrick Harris is there too 🤣
hahahaha
@@8020drummer 🤣🤣🤣
Dude, the guy dancing at the end has me crying, oh my god this is incredible
same here, gave me chills
This was so entertaining. Would love to see more stuff like this. Amazing. Happy holidays.
yep!
he could do a "Play certain song and get money"
Yep! Social interaction and experiments are the way to go.
Same!
Me too
That last clip was amazing. Just random people grooving out in the street and having fun!
Can u link me his discord pls
gave me chils
Verdade
The lady at 4:24 was my favourite- she was definitely feeling a groove more than any of the other non-drummers
Agreed. Incredible time feel!
reminds me of a disco beat
The last at 7:34 definitely had smth in his head too tho
That’s Shorty Starr
Most drummers underestimate the difficulty of playing the basic groove, it really takes time to make your body and your limbs gain independence to play. Nice vid!
I vaguely remember struggling with this myself as a kid and now I get to watch all my musician buddies struggle on a basic beat
The very first time I sat with a drum kit in school, I was 14. I instantly played something because I was pressured by the senior kids to just do something. Everyone, and especially my best friends were shocked! My buddy asked me: "where did you learn to do that?!" I answered: " I dont know." ...but I never looked back!.. I've been playing for over 30 years now! It comes naturally to me.
Yeah realised recently should just go kick and snare forget the hi hat til later
Thanks for the insight former NBA player Kendrick Perkins
My GF tried drums for the first time in my house. I teched her this pattern, and she got it first try.
At the time I didn't realize how amazing it was, but now I see
That's fucking awesome mann
taught. the past tense of teach is taught.
That's a sign that she's the one
6:39 that grove is actually pretty cool
Accidental reggae
I’m saying
there's 3 main problems at the same time that make this impossible at first try for so many ppl:
1 - ppl think / hear / see the beat as "one thing" and try to do it all at once instead of simply doing continuous hi-hat hits as guide and trying to add kick and snare by turns.
2 - once you sit down, you start actively thinking and analyzing whick makes you perplex by the different "look / view" compared to watching him do it from the other angle
3- nervous being filmed, looked at & doing something new: mentally that immediately puts you in a bit of a clumsy mood that certainly doesn't help to take it is easy (think of a kid) that would help you A LOT especially playing the drums
07:42 Britney took it straight to church.
Facts😂
Voted for you in drumeo awards. Me and one of my friends who plays drums discovered you. You are now one of our favorite channels. You do the perfect balance of making tutorials everyone can learn from, and making funny content that makes everyone laugh. As you've gained more subscribers your content has only gotten better.
Luv you bro. ❤
How did you vote? I can’t seem to find it
@@carstenwurth1677 Yeah i'm with you on this one. The website doesn't seem to have a "vote" button
@@carstenwurth1677 I think he did a community post or somethjng
u can find it on his discord
I'm just impressed that on so many people trying you only got one (hardly) that could keep a beat. Turns out drums are not that simple
It’s just the coordination of using your feet at the same time as your hands that makes it such a learning curve.
Ya I'm trying to air drum this rn and I'm basically punching the air
As a 3 year guitar player who never touched a real drum kit this is super hard to do all three parts at once
@@hunter00143 its a lot easier if you actually hit something, like just hit your desk with your fingers (or hands), it makes it musical too which helps a lot instead of just trying to imagine it!
I feel like the learning curve is steep just because of the feet coordination, there comes a certain point where using your feet and your hands isn't a problem from there it's smooth sailing, untill you choose to jump into complex rhythms and stuff.
@@rocketsauce420 that's not difficult for me. Its getting myself to play my lefts and rights independently from eachother.
8:15 this made me so happy i can only imagine how amazing it must've been to be in that little special moment. just pure joy man, just pure good vibes.
dude you've made me smile and laugh so many times. you got so much good energy, i could be in the lowest mood ever, you manage to make me smile. i wish i could give back more or in a more meaningful way but right now, these words are all i got. and i ain't too good with words so i'll just leave it here as it is. thank you for existing.
3:48 - "We're coming up on 12 subscribers."
*Nominated for Drumeo Online Creator of the Year.*
Those 3 people at the end passed the vibe check they were so lit
7:45 praise him!!!
6:13 the sad boi strange pop punk Anderson Paak we didn't know we needed, let alone knew existed. What a fuckin' legend.
More please. But like actually thought out, with your chops and the strange but wonderful lyrics that come from that wonderful mind of yours
That sax intro was dope!! 🔥
Merry Christmas my guy!!
Rock on 🤘🎸❤
This is such a cool video concept I love it!
This made me feel so good, you gave people the chance to try something they never would have, and even if they don’t pick it up as a hobby , when their kid is looking to join band and don’t know what instrument to play, they will think of that one time on Christmas they held a pair of drumsticks and sat behind a kit and taped our a beat, “well why not try drums?” And then that kid starts a journey that takes him to life changing heights.
You are the best, Zack! Your content is always sooo entertaining! Merry Christmas to you and all your family! Hugs from Brazil!
OK Britney took us to church! 🔥🔥😆😆😆
That’s what I said 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
That was definitely giving praise 😂😂😂
I remember seeing a video of the great freestyle rapper Eyedea where he said one of his favorite things was to listen to non-rappers try to freestyle. He loved it because they always came up with new flows and rhythms he had never thought of. This video feels the same. Even though none of them are "proficient" drummers, they each have their own way of playing. I think my favorite was John. Love the off-kilter bass drum stuff he was doing. And Brittany straight up started playing s polka! That was cool too. 😅
Straight up, that vote was more difficult than I expected. So many good drum channels blew up this last year. Glad I decided to grow up tho. Hope you win and Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
You decided to grow up?? What does that have to do w drum channels or this being difficult lol
I like to make my friends learn to play drums when they come over. It takes most people about 25 minutes to learn how to play that groove.
As someone who’s been playing for so long it always catches me off guard with how long it takes people to do that.
It took me like 50 minutes the first time, while my friends got it in like 5 or even the first try 😂
But kept grinding and now I can say I'm half decent for an amateur :D
@@orti1283 yeah everyone is different. One of my friends took much longer to learn than the others
Very cool!
The lesson is this: People love a good beat. Oh, and hit that bass drum with confidence...
I struggled with the bass, it felt delayed, so I was unable to be on beat. (When I tried it when I was younger)
I remember when my drum teacher (bless him he's the most awesome teacher ever) kept just telling me to "HIT THE BASS DRUM HARDER" 🤣
Honestly im glad i got into drums
You can see that last group immediately start grooving when Zach lays it down, so fucking cool lol I loved this video so much
6:15 this sounds exactly like midwest emo except without the twinkly guitar. Mom Jeans anyone?
this is very wholesome! i love seeing people just enjoying their time genuinely, with strangers too! so that's that! thank you
what a wholesome ending, loved it
Dude I love watching you and Nathan interact with strangers please do more vids like this😂
Bro this channel man, it's just like so freaking awesome, like the feel of watching these vids are just so great like I came here for drumming and stayed for the vibes
This whole video made me smile, thank you for the drum content!
I've been watching your videos ever since your channel was still small. That video where you attempted to play duality by slipknot on drums as a jazz drummer was the video that got me into your channel. After watching your content, I decided to have my own drum set despite being low on budget but I really dream to play like you and got my very own beginners' set. I can now play some slow rocks but I will practice hard to get on a decent level of drumming. Thanks Zackgrooves for introducing me to drumming. Keep uploading more funny and wholesome contents👍
love the accenting on the bottom of the hihat in the last groove you play. 30 yrs playing and always learning...even from younger cats like yourself. props to you
Yo she just started playing in 3/4 time right off the bat. Insane
Drummers are so talented. They can keep multiple different beats at the same time. My mind would have exploded
The last three people and the older ladies made me giggle. Great vid.
NGL Britney's groove at 7:43 was pretty damn lit
Praise break!
Punk blast beat
@@tomvesely4008 polka!!!
@@barbedwirealarms yes, polka!😂
This was a very refreshing video. Thank you!
I enjoyed this vid much more then expected. Just a dozen of strangers and a drum kit (and donations). Such a joyful image, it put a smile on my face, thank you for that!
Aye those people at end were hyping my boy up!! 😂🙌🏼
Legendary content every time!
This video made my day, thank you for the good vibes
Was grinning ear to ear with that last group. Merry Christmas Zack!
Really enjoyed this video! Great work. Really interesting to see what people come up with :)
That was awesome lol. Have a Merry Christmas, Zack!
such a wholesome video!!
Man you had me smiling from begining to end. You're def my fav drummer and youtuber for sure. I need this energy in my life.
This makes me feel better about my skill. Seeing how much you can progress in a year makes me want to keep going. To think I was like not a year ago is crazy.
Creator of the year, you deserve it dude! Also, great video. Love how fun and positive it is 😁
This video put a smile on my face, thanks Zack!
Dope, thanks for this, warmed my heart.
I love how some musical talent is universal, the guy who was freestyling to the beat at the end was also the most impressive on the kit even though he doesn't play drums.
and man, I feel like drums are one of the only instruments you can pick up with no knowledge whatsoever and still have fun.
also, not 1 drummer stopped by? haha
Dude lol
MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS NO CAP
This made me smile and I thank you for this!
This was great! What a cool idea for a video. I especially loved that last group of people. This looked like a blast and really made my morning. Thank you for sharing this.
That bit at the end where they got you to play was so wholesome
This was extremely fun. Thanks again for opportunity. I really enjoyed myself.
Once again, music bringing people together. Awesome vid man.
Awesome video man, you bring so much positive vibes to the people
This made me feel a lot better about my mediocre skills on a kit. Great video btw.
I’ve been playing drums for awhile but playing a simple groove is pretty hard especially the kick
Man I love this guy...merry Christmas 🎄 zach
Love you Zack. merry Christmas!
this is so wholesome I love it
Man you definitely deserve the award
excellent video Zack!!! Congrats on the on the nomination too man, you deserve it!
Great vid man. Y’all have a Merry Christmas! 🙏🏻
Great format. Please do more! I wish I'd be there. Never played drums myself T__T.
Art center across from the bar, great place great video as always brother. The one night I’m not out there, you are!😂😂😂🤣
This was cool. I appreciate that you videos are always so light hearted. I wish I could subscribe twice. 💕
Great vid Zack 👍🏾💯🤟🏾 Stay blessed
This was fun to watch but like everyone is saying, once you figure out drumming its seemingly unfathomable for us to think others can't do what we can do sleeping. Anyways man, great video and I love the vibe. Keep groovin'
you totally deserve the award! you’re an awesome musician and person god bless
love the vibes man, bless y'all
Such a great vid man! Wow
Bro you’re one of the coolest dudes i know on this platform.
Seeing this makes me have more respect for drummers that can make their art look easy 🤧
Do more of this kind of video! So awesome to seestrangers really have fun like this
Super entertaining video man! More of this please:)
When the dude rappin' at the end jumped his verse off with, "a three, six, five and a ten!" I instantly knew, a star was born!!!
I cast my vote for you just this minute. Seriously, thank you for your content over the last year and a bit, you have brought a smile to my face during some turbulent times.
Please don't stop doing what you do, and that goes for Nathan as well. You two are absolute class.
Viva La Grooves! And a Merry Christmas!
This vid is a classic. Great job !
Its amazing how music always brings people together
I voted but there is no confirmation that I voted for you. It just says "Thank you for voting". Get that dub Z grooves!
Man, this was incredible. I literally never write comments. This was such an excellent video
This was a dope video man, so wholesomeXD. love your content, keep it up and happy holidays!
This was fun. I love the tuning of your snare bro.
I would love to walk up on this! Play dumb at first, then chase the bass drum across the sidewalk for a moment with blast and skank beats at high tempos. 😏
7:21 grew up in the church I know that for a fact🤣🤣💪🏾
man you re so great, love your videos
So wholesome ❤️ merry Christmas, y'all!
