Andrew, I really appreciate the kind words. I left Rick’s band at the end of 2019, however we had a lot of fun together. You seem to be one of the people who “get it.” When I was with Rick, we performed nearly 200 shows a year. Can you imagine how boring it was playing Mustang Sally, TWO HUNDRED TIMES a year??? LOL So we tried to make it fun. Most of the antics, were born onstage. I never sat around and “practiced” that stuff. I was a metal drummer for years, then suddenly found myself in a cover band. I didn’t do it to get attention… I did it because it made me laugh. It was actually pretty selfish of me. LOL 🤣🤣🤣
If I could like this comment more than once, I would. Love that you watch this stuff and take the time to reply. I've watched a bunch of your videos and love them all. I watch a lot of drummers who leave my jaw on the floor but never once make me smile. You leave my jaw almost on the floor (absolutely no offence intended there) but you make me smile, and believe me - I don't smile a lot! Keep up the good work, Steve. Just enjoy what you do.
Oh I get it man! You're an entertainer. I dig the drumming and you make me smile... I can hear the metal chops too in that half time breakdown with the double kick! I hope you are well man and congrats on the ongoing successes :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I can empathize with Mr. Moore. As a long-time cover band musician, there are songs I once loved that I can't even listen to anymore. And being visually impaired I am morbidly aware of music played in stores. If CCR's version of "Proud Mary" starts playing in the grocery I have to leave and come back. Props to Mr. Moore for finding a way to make it both bearable for him and entertaining for us.
ran sound for him back in 2014. very humble dude. said he grew up loving to play thrash metal like slayer. so he uses the same energy all of his cover tunes
Watched a bunch of videos with Steve Moore on drums. I'm not a drummer but have spent allot of time over my 62 years watching and listening to great drummers in the rock, jazz and world drumming domain . Steve is a serious drumming talent and unreal showman. The real deal. Nothing left to do but smile...
Watched these videos many times love them. I was in a band playing drums in the early sixties and Wipe Out was one of my favourites, I am 75 and still playing but only for fun!
He's very entertaining to watch. Add to that the fact that the timing and chops are steady and on the spot which is impressive seeing how the movements introduce lag that he's easily foreseeing. I guess playing the song 100's of times while experimenting with funny ideas helps get that down to a T.
Love the drummer ,i was just looking thu u tube and came across the mad drummer ,now i cant stop watching him, do you have merchandise , i would love a t shirt. your great steve thank you for being entertaining.
I was a stage tech at a venue where they played regularly in the early 2000's and was priveledged to meet Steve and see him do all this and more live in dozens of gigs over the 3 years while I was there. He is a wild whirlwind behind the drums, a total pro on and off stage and a chill dude. Respect! :)
This video is amazing…and also your one of the rarest people who actually fill something in their cup and drink it while shooting …unlike people who shows off their cups with nothing in them 😂
This and the “wrong gig” video were both shot at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg,Pennsylvania. They were (are?) regular performers there. I was lucky enough to catch a show there.
Great video, Andrew. Fantastic to hear someone who knows their stuff talk about Steve. He’s not just an entertainer, but a fantastic drummer. Btw, it’s unusual to hear a skins man articulate legit musical terminology so convincingly. You rehearsed well. Haha, I’m kidding of course. Hi from the horn section. 😉 Thanks again!
I've seen several of their videos, and.... its interesting! But, Hey, they're making a living, very entertaining, making folks feel good, and you can't find any negatives in that! Music from the 50's and 60's will always make people feel good. I've seen all generations "rockin" with it!
Really great stuff.! I'd of loved to of had my little girl with me at that gig. Such fun. If there were more like you I think beginner drum kits would be sold out everywhere
Steve is truly a great drummer. This is all about entertainment.Not to be viewed as pin point technique drumming. Most people wouldn’t notice any misses/slip ups. They see the characters and love it. This is a really special drumming duo. Timing was spot on in changes and done with ease. Once you’ve got the talent you’ve always got it. Steve wasn’t young in 08. Been drumming for decades so he’d built a fair following especially with the flailing arms. Real signature piece. A classic.
great job and prop s and a big that you to the mad drummer some folks probly that you went off your meds hahaha loved watching these guys they have it down tight
I noticed your classic, Ludwig Supraphonic 400 chrome snare. I used to own one of those back in the 70s. The rest of my kit was Camco, with a Ludwig Speed King bass pedal. Wonderful stuff, that!
I read this quickly and thought you said Jerry Lewis on drums. I immediately thought of Jerry Lewis playing the drums on his show with Buddy Rich (ua-cam.com/video/141o_jwG7cA/v-deo.html)... then I read it again and realized I had missed the full name. However, I can confirm that Steve Moore does in fact have great bass drums of fire ;-)
I've watched many of the mad drummer videos. Never a dull moment. It takes great skill to do the crazy things he does and stay in time and beat. Very skilled..... I literally started watching your channel today. I watched many Black Sabbath, Bill Ward critiques. Bill was filthy..... please try listening to Queensryche.... you will be in a new HOG HEAVEN! Scott Rockenfeld is sick! And the band is the greatest ever. Geoff Tates voice will leave you in awe!
"It's hard playing the drums standing up." Let me introduce you to Bela B, drummer of German punk band "Die Ärzte." Granted, they aren't very technical, but never the less he always plays standing up.
@andrew Rooney, because you said that it’s not easy playing drums while standing, you should totally check out Bela B. from the Punk Rock Band „Die Ärzte“ from Germany. They are pretty famous here in Germany and Bela B. ALWAYS plays the drums standing up. Check out the Song „Schrei nach Liebe“ live from the Rock am Ring Festival 2019. (or many many other of their songs and Gigs)
If you haven't checked out Godsmack's drum duel, give it a look. Though it seems like more of a drum duo. The singer is the "other" drummer. Good stuff.
now I am a complete drumming idiot, I have an electric drum set I want to learn on but no clue where to start. but there were places in the drumming that felt/sounded like there was a missed attack or the beat shifted 1/4-1/2 of a beat with a slight pause. are these pauses intentional or am I not hearing something that was actually there? anyways, I wish there was something like rocksmith but for drums that wasn't several hundred dollars for a setup. anyone have good suggestions for a visual learner?
Great recommendation! Saw him live and it's a non stop show. His stick tricks have stick tricks. Not to mention throwing his leg up onto the hi hat, standing on his throne... He's wild!
Only if you've got time buddy... Loving your work! Having two little kids I don't play as much as I would like, but here's a favourite from the reason got into the drums... And bought some of his gear like the real pro I am (loved your vid on that):ua-cam.com/video/7b6R4eaeuGY/v-deo.html
Started playing this song in "bar bands" when I was 5 (many decades ago.) Was completely sick of it by the time I was 8. Much respect to Steve Moore for making it fresh enough for me to tolerate again. Andrew - may I request my two childhood heroes - Gene Krupa and Brian Downey?
It's one thing to play drums well. It's another thing to play drums well, do crazy stage antics, and keep good time. The tempo shifts strike me as intentional, and they come back to the original tempo (or close enough) and all that is hard! I feel bad for the dude's cymbals though! lol
Can tell the difference in style (as a non drummer) Check out Aoyama Hideki, fastest drummer of Japan when you get the chance, especially with song intros
Brilliant stage act, this what music should be about. Enthusiasm and crowd involvement. Bravo 🙌🏻 and thanks again Resting B-face Also check out (greyson nekrutman) he’s a phenomenal young drummer

And 200 shows per year is no joke. That's some proper mileage!

I'm a retired Engineer and play the drums and thoroughly enjoyed this vid. These guys are no joke, everything was right on. Awesome.
Steve Moore is a legit badass. He even had a cameo in the US version of The Office.
That's awesome William!
Even Kevin Malone's charm type couldn't stand up to Steve Moore
Season 8 episode 7 🤘
ran sound for him back in 2014. very humble dude. said he grew up loving to play thrash metal like slayer. so he uses the same energy all of his cover tunes
I would categorize him as a stunt drummer. He's the one you send in when the drumming gets dangerous 😂🤣.
First guy I'd call!
Yep. That works. I’ll pay that.
Watched a bunch of videos with Steve Moore on drums. I'm not a drummer but have spent allot of time over my 62 years watching and listening to great drummers in the rock, jazz and world drumming domain . Steve is a serious drumming talent and unreal showman. The real deal. Nothing left to do but smile...
Exactly Mark!
Entertainment is a huge part of what we do. AND he's holding it down great
When you are watching Steve do his antics, he then throws in a difficult drum pattern and blows your mind.
This gentleman is a real treat. Absolutely love everything about him
He was famous long before 2008. I was watching him play drums on a hay wagon stage in a Kmart parking lot in 1998!! Loved every minute.
Man!! This dude is just fantastic...!! Love it.. Doing 200 shows a year, you just got to make it fun.. Mad Drummer!! You the man!!!
YUP!
Screw the haters. Do your job and entertain people!! :)
Watched these videos many times love them. I was in a band playing drums in the early sixties and Wipe Out was one of my favourites, I am 75 and still playing but only for fun!

Yup good point! Stick height drastically affects timing. Steve has is dialled!
I love them and I to could watch them all day...In fact I have! 😆
“That hair”...what you know about hair ? Haha. Love it
🤣👌
Gotteeeeem!
@@houseofshadow6380 HAHAHA
Got the Jerry Lee Lewis thing goin'... LoL
Love the drummer ,i was just looking thu u tube and came across the mad drummer ,now i cant stop watching him, do you have merchandise , i would love a t shirt. your great steve thank you for being entertaining.

You are absolutely right Gary. Golden oldies always go down a treat. ALWAYS
First time I ever saw Steve Moore play they were doing Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl . I could not stop smilin’ . He is awesome.
The fact he makes us smile is the best thing. Drummers often forget about the entertainment and fun aspect Laura :)
I wish I had 4 guys with the same humor, energy and talent as Steve! Too much fun!!! Love it♥️
Any muso that puts a smile on your face is a winner in my eyes.
Totally agree
Elicit emotions. The artists aim.
I can't even attempt any of his tricks because I play with my back to a wall
When Rick was playing in the audience, I wanted to see Steve's face. Drum battle?
Great fun :)
Like the great Frank Zappa "asked" through his great live album; "Does humor belong in music?"
Yes, it does.!
Great stuff! 😊
Yup!
I liked the bit in the beginning. Great sense of humor sir.
HEHE
Really great stuff.! I'd of loved to of had my little girl with me at that gig. Such fun. If there were more like you I think beginner drum kits would be sold out everywhere
100% Adrian!!

Steve: I saw you play for the first time about 2 years ago on You tube,,,,,,,have to say, you are amazing.. Thanks
Wilf Blum
great job and prop s and a big that you to the mad drummer some folks probly that you went off your meds hahaha loved watching these guys they have it down tight
I love it. They put a great show.
Spectacularly good musicianship and so entertaining
💯Robert!
I've heard Steve Moore play on some metal projects and yeah, he's really good.
Yup he is!
My favorite drummer, love, love him.
🙌
It's interesting that Rick is a really good drummer as well. Rick and Steve make a great pair.
Steve Moore is phenomenal. Keeping the tempo and consistent volume is impressive. 🤟
Steve moore is great!! His newest video is just pure skill
Great stuff! They're definately loving what they do
I think so too!
I always played it on the low/floor tom, but the snare here is really neat.
Yup it works great Austin!
This is a true classic. Seen it many times.
Deserves a re watch without me talking for sure!
Chris Farley would have been perfect to play Steve in a movie!! Props to The Mad Drummer"!
The goal is great music with giggles.
I noticed your classic, Ludwig Supraphonic 400 chrome snare. I used to own one of those back in the 70s. The rest of my kit was Camco, with a Ludwig Speed King bass pedal. Wonderful stuff, that!
Very cool!
Beautiful classic snare :)
YOUR BREAKDOWN of the DRUMMING is GREEEEEEEAT !!!!!!!
THANK YOU James!
Steve Moore is definitely one very accomplished Drummer. 🤩
Love the channel Andrew, and be never hit a drum in my life

Excellent Leo!
Love Steve. Was Introduced to him watching drum clinic videos years ago.

Reminds me of jerry lee lewis but on drums 😁👍👍

The guy is a madman lol
HAHA!
The best part is the guitar and bass being straight in all this.
Yes Douglas! HAHA
It’s talented musical genius comedy at its best!
This just wouldn’t work if they all weren’t supra talented! Love it!
💯👌
Thank you Andrew & thanks to Steve Moore!! 🤘🏼Most Excellent🤘🏼- too damn much fun - now if only I could book these guys for my brothers wedding!
I know! They should be out playing parties every night
What you said!!!Do not touch my drums and make me go all Wil Ferrell Step Brothers on you....🤔Lol😂
HAHA YES! It's so rude ARGHHHHH
I love the energy!
Super fun time. Thanks Andrew! Made my day 🤣😂😹
EXCELLENT!
Look up Steve Moore guest star in the office American version.
Haha 1 2 3 FOUR!
I searched UA-cam is the mad drummer a good drummer i think you have answerd my question thank you.
Great James!
this was filmed at Knoebels amusement park. I was at one of the shows back then. He was really good
This was hilarious!!! Made my day and put a smile on my dial!! Ha ha!
YESSSS
I think the name mad drummer is hes hair, mad hair. Such a funny guy. Followed him for years on social media
Great Daniel!
Steve Moore is amazing!!!! Always amazing
Way smoother with the ladies than any Bass player has ever been
I love Steve’s Flock Of Seagulls hair!!!!
"It's hard playing the drums standing up."
Let me introduce you to Bela B, drummer of German punk band "Die Ärzte." Granted, they aren't very technical, but never the less he always plays standing up.
THIS. FUCKING. VIDEO! think this was the first time i looked at a drummer like "what IN THE ACTUAL FUCK!" in a good way
Great entertainment! It just makes you smile!
Yes Simon!
I don’t know if he’s a great drummer or not but that’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen!
Steve Moore rocks it!
Yes! 💯🙌
I personally like the Sharp Dressed Man version he did while wearing the gold jackets during this show.
No the singer is going to step in he's no slouch himself
Very simply hes an entertainer. Keith Moon, the drummer from the Pretty Things way back mid 60's
If you want to see two drummers sharing one kit, then check out The Urban Voodoo Machine, incredible live act.
@andrew Rooney, because you said that it’s not easy playing drums while standing, you should totally check out Bela B. from the Punk Rock Band „Die Ärzte“ from Germany. They are pretty famous here in Germany and Bela B. ALWAYS plays the drums standing up. Check out the Song „Schrei nach Liebe“ live from the Rock am Ring Festival 2019. (or many many other of their songs and Gigs)
Check him out at 'Woodstick 2010' and watch him play the kit with 3 sticks.
If you haven't checked out Godsmack's drum duel, give it a look. Though it seems like more of a drum duo. The singer is the "other" drummer. Good stuff.
Thanks for the tip!
now I am a complete drumming idiot, I have an electric drum set I want to learn on but no clue where to start.
but there were places in the drumming that felt/sounded like there was a missed attack or the beat shifted 1/4-1/2 of a beat with a slight pause. are these pauses intentional or am I not hearing something that was actually there?
anyways, I wish there was something like rocksmith but for drums that wasn't several hundred dollars for a setup.
anyone have good suggestions for a visual learner?
IDK WTH I just watched but that was certainly entertainment.
LOL
Nice beginning bud..v funny
HAHA! Drummer Dates... Thanks Ken!
Should take a look at Zoltan Chaney.
Maybe not the most technical drummer but very fun and crazy to watch.
Thank you!
Great recommendation! Saw him live and it's a non stop show. His stick tricks have stick tricks. Not to mention throwing his leg up onto the hi hat, standing on his throne... He's wild!
Dude your intro on this one was on fire 🔥
🤣🤣👌
Your pick next bro!
Only if you've got time buddy... Loving your work! Having two little kids I don't play as much as I would like, but here's a favourite from the reason got into the drums... And bought some of his gear like the real pro I am (loved your vid on that):ua-cam.com/video/7b6R4eaeuGY/v-deo.html

I've actually never played Wipe Out!
I should really learn it :)
Is this characterized as a lounge act because of the showmanship? Great stuff no matter what. That makes you wonder if Richard Cheese was this wild?😂
Yup went viral for a reason. It's just so damn entertaining
This guy could be making a killing as a live drummer for hire. He has the solid time, the chops and if needed plenty of panache.
100%
It's one thing to play drums well. It's another thing to play drums well, do crazy stage antics, and keep good time. The tempo shifts strike me as intentional, and they come back to the original tempo (or close enough) and all that is hard! I feel bad for the dude's cymbals though! lol

🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🖖🏻
Yes Philippe!
cocorico !
Sha Na Na with LSD !!! Great drummer !!!
SHA NA NA!!!
That's a blast from the past
..that merch might be worth something in 2033.
The original was played on the middle tom.
Very impressive on all counts. And yes he has a very large amount of excess head space.
Can tell the difference in style (as a non drummer)
Check out Aoyama Hideki, fastest drummer of Japan when you get the chance, especially with song intros
hes better then 90% of people who will ever pick up sticks. not an impossible level to reach but a damn good one
Better than 99.9% I’d say!
He is one of the greatest drummers on the planet
Brilliant stage act, this what music should be about. Enthusiasm and crowd involvement. Bravo 🙌🏻 and thanks again Resting B-face
Also check out (greyson nekrutman) he’s a phenomenal young drummer
Thanks Rob! It's all about the resting bitch face
