Yeah that pretty much says it all. Dude has serious fucking chops. Playing in 2 of the most creative extreme bands on the planet. That alone puts this dude in some serious company.
he deserves no less than a ultra high quality band , with great musicians , bringing new sounds to the world :D I hope the best for this damn charismatic kid
Actually this is one of the best solo's I've heard, he keeps them running smooth and interesting unlike couple of world class professionals I've seen and heard. And his fills are insane.
I remember watching this video like 10 years ago when I first started drumming and thinking "what an awesome drummer". Crazy to see him older now playing on major festivals around the world in front of massive audiences, well deserved! Bard rules!
Its not so much about the money, as its only the money of one day. I think it's more about the drums. They must be worth far more. In any case, good thinking of the guy.
Of course it's only fitting his first serious contribution would be on the congregation 4 years later. One of the most masterful prog rock albums this century, and IMO leprouses finest work at their peak.
Yeah he's the drummer, but he's also the whole band. Not only that, but he won the Roland V-Drums World Championship last year. This is no ordinary drummer, he's a rythmical genius.I've seen him myself in Oslo, and he's just wicked.
Luk Hann In den meisten Städten sind Schlag- und Blasinstrumente grundsätzlich nicht erlaubt. Zumindest da wo ich bisher war. Einerseits ist das schade, andererseits kann ich das auch verstehen. Weil es manchmal schon nervt wenn es alle 100 Meter laut wird - und die Musiker sind oft nichtmal wirklich gut :D
instrumentenfreak das kann natürlich sein, ich komm aus berlin, da ist man etwas toleranter und kann sich in der Fußgängerzone auf 100m fußweg schon mal 5 verschiedene Genres anhören 😁
Auch schlagzeug und derartig laute instrumente, wenn auch eher selten (wahrscheinlich aufgrund des Aufwands solch ein Instrument dorthin zu transportieren)
Haha how you can tell this is Norway. Awesome drummer just belting hellfire out of his set and not a headbob in sight. I'm sure the crowd appreciates it, but we Norwegians aren't exactly the best in the world at emoting, are we? :D
Maybe because it's rude to interrupt him or the crowd by walking in front of him in the middle of his performance. What most people do is listen until he's finished, and then give him money (watch the last 10 seconds of the video closely ;) )
Recently got in to Leprous and this video popped up while watching some of Baard's drum playthroughs. Funny to think that i saw this all those years ago having no idea who this was, and now I've come full circle lol
Akro2000 That is true, this guy has the technique so he probably won't burn that many but some metal drummers and other in some bands that likes to move with their arms alot does get some exercise(Especially their deltoids)
@@MalFunktion2024 Honestly he's not that far up. He's definitely in the range of being one of the most, if not the most influencal prog metal drummers out there. It's hard to put a definitive of "THE BEST" because every drummer ever has some own special flavor to them. But Baard Kolstad's complex playing has gotten him far and I wouldn't think people saying he's one of the most technical drummers out there today would be wrong. This is 7 years ago aswell. He's currently in Leprous.
I did a drum solo in downtown omaha and the cops confiscated my drums. Me and my friend had to sneak it out of the police van and into his truck and then we ended up going to spaghetti works :D
What's happened to drummers these days? It was a decent display of technique but I felt like a goldfish! Every 30 seconds he slaps the groove out of me and goes onto something else. Good drummer, not very great. And before all you people shit on my head, I actually am a drummer, and I can play better than this. Good on him for getting out there with his shit though.
TheCanadianGrape OH! so you won the international championship in drumming? Please tell me more of how you are better than him. you saying you are better than him is like saying i run faster than usain bolt
I do not know who you are. I have not seen you run. Nothing's to say you can't run faster than Usain. Some people spend their lives worshiping made up Gods. You have not heard me drum. Take your inferior taste and sarcastic retorts elsewhere.
No its not only the best drummer in Norway. Its also one of the best in the world. He was picked out as 1 out of 10 from the whole world to compete at Roland v-drum contest in2012 and he won.
And this guy is playing for Leprous and Borknagar now
Don't forget Rendezvous Point!
Who the "H" are they ?
Yeah that pretty much says it all. Dude has serious fucking chops. Playing in 2 of the most creative extreme bands on the planet. That alone puts this dude in some serious company.
brad nichols : googling!!!
The Appeal to the Norwegian people about election.Appeal till det Norchke filk om valnet.I am a videoblogger.
Watch in 2011: "Yeah buddy, when you are all grown up maybe"
Watching in 2020: "The early beginnings of one of the best drummers of our time"
His mom: GO PLAY OUTSIDE!!!!!
Him: ok!
I can see this pal playing for the best bands out there in a near future.
this comment aged well
Nailed it tbh lol
I told all friends to buy apple stock in 2007 ... ;) Check this...
Yeah Leprous !!!!
indeeeed
It gaves me chills when people gives him money. Really really amazing drumming.
Dude's in Leprous now :p
René vergaseca
He's in the amazing Norwegian band Leprous. You're welcome.
Look up johnkew cover of the price....AMAZING
Now he's with the insanely awesome progressive metal band "Leprous" Can't wait to hear their next album and how Baard sounds on it!
I promise I'm not stalking you...
After seven years and coming from seeing Leprous with the Aphelion tour twice, I can say: He sounds pretty damn good :)
he deserves no less than a ultra high quality band , with great musicians , bringing new sounds to the world :D I hope the best for this damn charismatic kid
Leprous. He's insane.
This aged very well!
Many years later this is still one of the sickest drum performances ever captured on film.
Actually this is one of the best solo's I've heard, he keeps them running smooth and interesting unlike couple of world class professionals I've seen and heard.
And his fills are insane.

Top left corner, that guy is always in his videos lol. On the same bike, with the same glasses, this kid's got some top notch security.
+blahblahooooooooblah If someone steals his money he can ride up on them, surprised more street performers don't hire people like that
Its not so much about the money, as its only the money of one day. I think it's more about the drums. They must be worth far more. In any case, good thinking of the guy.
he is a professional drummer aswell
Oh yea it might actually be for the bike trailer he's using for the drums
Haha hahahah so you’re saying the dude on the bike is his personal bodyguard?! 😂😂
Who watches this in 2k19? After the Leprous was found for you
Watching this drum solo after 8 years and the guys still kicks ass 😌👌🏼
Of course it's only fitting his first serious contribution would be on the congregation 4 years later. One of the most masterful prog rock albums this century, and IMO leprouses finest work at their peak.
Having meet Baard, seen several concerts with Leprous and his Drumworkshop, he is an amazing drummer and guy!!
Yeah he's the drummer, but he's also the whole band. Not only that, but he won the Roland V-Drums World Championship last year. This is no ordinary drummer, he's a rythmical genius.I've seen him myself in Oslo, and he's just wicked.
and now he is playing in many great bands. so young and so talented...
3:07 Extreme drummer mode on.
I like the way, in Norway, there are insane drummers just rippin' it up on the streets. 😆
AWESOME is not good enough to describe him. He's amazing.
dura
lol it looks like macklemore is in the back on the bike
lol
lmao
he is Macklemore :D
Norbert Schmidt he is not form Norway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Awesome Baard, i Really Hope You Do More Drum Solo's Out In the Street, For Awesome 2016 You Rock Baard.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH My GOD, that was amazing. And I am very glad to say that this boy is now the drummer for the also amazing band, Leprous.
In most german cities, you would be surrounded by police in 2 minutes.
that sucks
Nicht, wenn du dir ne strassenmusik Genehmigung holst, was im übrigen alle Musiker brauchen, die auf der Straße oder in der bahn Musik machen wollen

speechless before my computer - great job man!!!!
I remember about this vid,and I knew he would be famous. Greetings from Italy
If a street performer makes you stop for a moment, you owe that performer a buck. Either way, most of the crowd just stand there ;_;
they dont give him money becose its to laud going close to the drums
my english isnt very god
Maybe because it's rude to interrupt him or the crowd by walking in front of him in the middle of his performance. What most people do is listen until he's finished, and then give him money (watch the last 10 seconds of the video closely ;) )
i think that the peformer doesnt do that for just money but to have fun and to entertain the people and that is what street peformance is
***** Good point.
Fletcher was there in the crowd
This is definitely his tempo.
cool stuff - love this guy!! great work!!
Excellent playing. Would love to visit Norway sometime...
Respect from the United States of America :)
You should visit, many exciting things to see and do here!😁
from 3:09 till the end it´s really f´n awesome ! :D
I swear if this dude had a metal band
This comment has agreed exceptionally well
@@bowietwombly5951 aged you mean :P
Recently got in to Leprous and this video popped up while watching some of Baard's drum playthroughs. Funny to think that i saw this all those years ago having no idea who this was, and now I've come full circle lol
Some of the best drumming I've heard. Love your style. Keep jammin'.
I can't do this, give me my beer back
too fucking brilliant!!!!!!!!!
WOW! Really enjoyed that!
You're a good man Baard Kolstad!!! And a damn good drummer to boot.
How many calories do you burn while drumming like that? XD
a lot
yeah, I figure he'll exercise enough for a week doing this for a day xD
I disagree because you're boring as fuck to watch and lack good feel.
Akro2000 That is true, this guy has the technique so he probably won't burn that many but some metal drummers and other in some bands that likes to move with their arms alot does get some exercise(Especially their deltoids)

That last part o.0
I met him backstage tonight, after a great show. Cool guy.
Really good! Thanks for uploading!
Give the man some credits. People just stand there. I would have just dropped my wallet in that box, gj!
They started giving money after the show was over.
I would've dropped my panties in that box! 😂
That look at 0:40 - whoa, nice girls, got to impress them.
Amazing drummer.. u just .... awesome dude...no words ..... great

Heavy and musical, love it. Wish you were in my band!
Oh wait... Samba? Really? Hahaha Samba in Norway, by a Nordic drummer, damn...! And that sounds really good, btw
"Best in Norway"??? Could be the best (period).
you are dreaming

Man I love this
Love the beats man. Good job.
I can tell you what this drummer needed... More Cowbell.
0:25 id pay more money if that guy in the back would go in fromt of the drums and do that dance all day long :D
Great drumming & performance. Awesome!
Awesome guy!!!! Great work!!!
Needs more cowbell
I did a drum solo in downtown omaha and the cops confiscated my drums. Me and my friend had to sneak it out of the police van and into his truck and then we ended up going to spaghetti works :D
Love & Respect 🙏
That last bit was mind blowing.
Senere denne dagen fikk han alle damene xD
Cheesy beats, but his time is very good.
OMG the end was beautiful!!!
Thats tight man, very tight, great timing and rhythm, love it :)
The story of how leprous found a drummer
Please dude form a metal band
His with Leprous now, a mind-blowing Progressivve Metal band. You definitely should give them a listen!
Also Borknagar
The Beauty Of Drumming
What an understatement
Oh fuck ..... and i thought i was very good at drums xD
same thoughts brah
You can still be good even if your level of technicality may not be as high as Baard's.
yh i am but more in speed, like i can blastbeat and play doubblebase at 240 bmp xD and im just playing 3 years now.
Not quite my tempo.
Mega respect!
Amazing!! 🤘

Good drummer, not very great. And before all you people shit on my head, I actually am a drummer, and I can play better than this. Good on him for getting out there with his shit though.
that's coz it's a solo... he's gotta fit a bit of everything in there... give people a taste of everything.
TheCanadianGrape OH! so you won the international championship in drumming? Please tell me more of how you are better than him. you saying you are better than him is like saying i run faster than usain bolt

TheCanadianGrape "Some people spend their lives worshiping made up Gods. You have not heard me drum." Dude, you're my hero.
Well, he is actually in a band and does live drumming for several other. So I dunno, what band are you in?
started playing on my drumkit again cause of this guy, this is sick
hace 5 años vi este vídeo y lo sigo viendo genial
it feels like he is staring into my soul...once seen cannot been unseen haha!

No its not only the best drummer in Norway. Its also one of the best in the world. He was picked out as 1 out of 10 from the whole world to compete at Roland v-drum contest in2012 and he won.
Very nice! Very cool rudiments to move around the kit!
BeAUTIFUL. Excellent performance!
Hellboy hangin out in the background at 3:15 ?
