- So... I went a little crazy, because ... I felt a little crazy. Anyway, here's a drum cover to the smash-hit (from the 1970's), Frank Mill's MUSIC BOX DANCER!
I pretty much killed it. Dead (or at least seriously wounded) Laugh, dangit.
Hi! I'm Jason. I own and operate a recording studio in Utah called Art City Sound. I've recently begun a youtube series of "full covers" where I cover songs from any era and make them ROCK! I do one video every week and love doing it.
You can find that over on my main channel, "Magic Jones"
2022 UPDATE - I covered the whole song in a new video. Check it out! -- • Music Box Dancer (2022...

it is sweet brother....geezuz
Beat it fart knocker!!
Brilliant piece of percussion. How about a cover of Black Day in July by Neil Diamond where Herb Lovelle was the drummer.
My all time fav song, childhood memories. Beautifully done🔥
Drummers are insane! always tapping...tapping...tapping They're some of my favorite people... The worst case I ever saw was sitting in Georgia summer traffic. I looked over and the guy in the car next to me had his air conditioner on with all his windows up, tapping all over the dash of the car with real drumsticks! Drummers, indeed...🇺🇸 😎👍☕
Didnt think it could get any better than Frank Mills....this guy knocks it outta the park with his talent on the drums...Wow❤
Can't stop listening to it!❤
Before I could listen to Frank Mills "Music Box Dancer" for hours on end. Now I could listen to it for days on end.
Great job! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Dude, I am addicted to watching this one at least once a week!
Me to
Music Box Dancer was awesome before. Now it's even better. Job will done.
100 percent agree my mother showey it to me in the 70s I love the song
This guy may be one of the best drummers I have ever heard.
His drumming skills are superb, added a bit of fun into it, fantastic
6 years since I first heard this beautiful masterpiece and I keep coming back to it. The only music that my wifey doesn't complain about when I blast it in the house... Love from Canada ❤
I was skeptical at first but I really liked.Talented young man!!!

Music box dancer is and has always been (a long time here i'm 50 LOL) one of my favorite musical pieces and i have never even thought for two seconds, i could love it more than i already do. YOU need to take a bow because you just did that. AWESOME!
That was bloody great! Loved it!
My mothers favorite musical piece, and she loves anything rythmic on drums.
I recently shared this vid with her and she could not believe how beautiful her two favorite sounds sounded even more beautiful than ever when brought together for this cover. Thank you for giving my 80 ' ish year old mother something pure and remarkable and just as lovely as she has always been in my eyes.
I could see tears of joy welling up in her tired eyes and it was a special feeling to us both.
Thank you again, you are a talented and gifted soul. And I thank God for placing you on this earth and in my path , So She could hear this .
It means very much to me as does She.
Thanks.🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Still awesome after 8 years of finding this. I watch it once or twice a year.
Thank you so much! This is the video that started it all
You are terrific
@@ArtcitysoundI just found you! Love you!!❤
This drummer is absolutely beautiful and what a lovely song as well
Wow I just looove your enhancement of music box dancer. It just sounds great 👍😌
This is so fantastic! You did a magnificent rendition!!! I smile every time I watch this! Thank you!
love thes guys druming he didnt miss a beat:-) haha
I have a little music box that plays this tune... And I've never heard anything so magnificently performed. You are awesome!
strange , but i liked it :)
ale fajne
Szkoda ze Facet nie jest u mojej zony w kuchni bo tam zrobil by porzadek
I could totally do this if I had musical talent and the discipline to practice, and a drum set. But I have none of those.
This is awesome! You looked like you were having a hell of a good time on those drums.
Buahah, the faces are priceless. I loved this song when I was a kid. well done. :)
Thanks, Matt! I've always loved this song, too. I'm glad you liked it. Welcome to the channel.
Proof that a little double bass pedal never killed anyone :)
He's not playing a double bass pedal
@@MonkeyChamp You can quite clearly see that he is, from 1:15 to 1:25.
@@siouxperb5570 he is not it's called a hi hat
@@LeeClaus-ec2dz Yes, you can clearly see him playing the hat. That's not in question. It is difficult to see for sure, but it does appear that he uses a double kick, as he appears to move between pedals with his left foot during the time I noted.
@@LeeClaus-ec2dz Also, watch the fill starting at just after 2:17. Lots of motion with his left leg, yet no actuation of the hat at all, but LOTS of double bass. Hmmmm........
One of my favorite songs. Nice job.
This Is An Absolute MASTERPIECE Adding The Drums To This Song, An Absolute MASTERPIECE. Could Listen To This Song For ETERNITY. 7/7/17
Thanks for listening and commenting, Thomas! So glad you liked the video!
Didn’t the original have drums also ?
WOW!! so blown away with your drumming i can't stop watching your vid omg u rock and even the expression on your face cracked me up lol, tell me what was your impression when you heard what you were playing ????? As far as i can tell on your face it wasn't that but i have to say you Nailed that Bad Ass to the Bone, i hope you share more because i cannot wait and thanks 4 sharing from New Zealand...........
Thank you so much, Arapeta! I do weekly cover videos. This week's was Tom Petty's "Refugee" - released earlier today. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I wish you and Frank Mills could get together and collaborate on this in person!
Thank you for doing this song. You really souped it up amazingly. It sounds like you have double bass but I only see one on your drum kit. Anyway I don't need to know how you did it to appreciate your talent and for giving me a great memory of a favorite song I had growing up in the seventies. I think I have listened to it fifty times already. And thanks as you are my first contribution to anyone on patrean. I look forward to listening to your past catalog and your future work. With gratitude, Joel.
Thanks, Joel! And welcome to the channel! Thank you for becoming our newest Patron, too. If you have any questions, please let me know and enjoy all the songs in your instant download!
Yes, Jason nailed this. No more words needed.
This man deserves an Emmy.
Haha! An Emmy! That's pretty high praise, right there. Thank you for watching!
Totally awesome I've listened to it over and over
Bravo!!! First person to ever make Music Box Dancer ROCK!!
fuck yes..!!!
100% ROCK IT!
I had a jewelry box that played this.
Jason is the greatest,
Totally
Must’ve listened to this about 100 times now. Amazing!!! Love it!!!! Thank you.
LOL! Your facial expression is priceless when you first heard the music starting. Loved it and you did such an awesome job! Keep up the good work!
+247Heavensent That's literally my favorite thing about this. You can feel the geeked out drummer vibe practically radiating from this video!
Thank you so much. When I created this video, it was just me being my goofy self. Evidently, it struck a "chord" with some people. :)
I love his live drums with the song, AMAZING!!!
I'm completely overwhelmed at the response this video has received! Thank you all so much! I'm now streaming my creation process live over at Magic Jones. Here's the URL: ua-cam.com/users/magicjonesmusic
I also have a Patreon account for those of you who wish to support this musical adventure as directly as possible. (link in video description)
I cannot thank you all enough!
Art City Sound WELL DONE!!!!!!!!👏👏👏
Thanks, Kimmy!
tell ya mate hes a lengend
Is there a "full cover" version of *"Music Box Dancer"* on this channel? If there isn't, you should create one. That'd be awesome! :)
Art City Sound sir, this was amazing! I loved it, my mom loved classical and easy listening music along with oldies rock from the 50's and 60's, she is where my love of music comes from, I remember this song from when I was a kid, thank you for putting this video up, you're awesome!
Dude you're a freaking legend at this. Good job!!!!
You have to love the looks on his face at the beginning, and during the song... Priceless... You can tell he is having some fun, and that is what matters in life... Enjoying it, and I enjoyed listening to this. Great job.
conexn what I thought, too. Watching his expressions is almost as much fun as listening to the song.
Very true, that's exactly what I thought.
Indeed, I like how he goes from WTF to gimmie a minute to ok, I got this.
Love it! Felt like the drums were a part of the original part of the song. Well done!
Damm, that was so satisfying I need a cig.
Way too much talent... and the guy's an actor too !!! Standing ovation !!!
not just a great mix but showmanship and nails the character
I never liked that song. I was wondering what the heck is a drum cover about. Now I like this song - LOL Well Done!!!
Haha! Yes! Another winner! Thanks loads, Dennis! Welcome to the channel!
Beautiful work on the drums man beautiful work. I like your accompaniment to Music Box Dancer
Thank you, Bill and welcome to the channel!
@@Artcitysound very niece

I love this guy. I love the way he can make the sweetest song I ever heard into something even more Epic without ruining the song completely VERRY WELL DONE MY FRIEND
Also I really love his expressions. He's like WTF ow fuck I'll make this work
Awesome
The musik is amazing, and to see how happy you look playing 😊 it just warms my heart 😁
OMG!!! Beautiful!!! Just...BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you!!!

Total feel good moment! Doesn't suit the music, does suit the music, hell if I can make up my mind, I don't even care, its just so damn enjoyable. Love it!!
Love music box dancer I’m gonna have this played in my funeral and you did a wonderful job with the drums
I kept avoiding clicking on this video as I wanted a piano cover. This ended up being the most satisfying video of all of them.
Man.. People like you make me want to keep creating videos. Thank you so much for your kind comment.
FREAKING BRILLIANT!
I've known the original song by Frank Mills for very long and (sshh... don't tell anybody) love that.
Hearing this drum cover makes me laugh out loud throughout the song.
Thanks for making my day!
You really, really over-played this. But damn what fun it was to watch! Props!
LOVE THIS!!!! Just when I thought my favorite classical piece couldnt get better.....you upped the anti!!! LOVE IT!!
Wow. Thank you so much, Roxanne! Glad to have you around! Feel free to check out my other videos - I'm doing a new one each week now. Have a great day!

Absolutely fantastic especially with super headphones Love it 👵🏻👍🏻❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
omg!!!!! this song is my favorite has been for years but this man just blew it out of the water this is awesome!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
So let me get this right..,
This wasn't rehearsed the tune came out and you went with it?
If so 👍👍👍👍
Haha... Yes! It wasn't rehearsed, that's for sure. It wasn't my first take, but it definitely wasn't rehearsed. So glad you liked it! Welcome to the channel!
Loved this! Fun to watch, you did well. Wondered what it was going to before i watched :)
Some rock drumming to a really mellow but catchy tune. Well done!
i love it!! had to watch it several times. ..now i cant wait to share it with my husband, who is also a drummer!
This song used to make the hair stand up on the back of my neck when I was a little kid in the 70's.
Me too I was born in '72.
Something our resident drummer laid down today... (Forgive the insanity)
fuckin brilliant
+Art City Sound Wild! Great!
my grandson is 10 yrs old and is trying play this on his drum set. :)
"we built him a "drum room" on to the Garage,, its got thick walls and electricity an its even heated.". yes he spoiled and so are his brothers.. "ear plugs are needed though"when u enter his space. lol
too much bloke
I watch it over and over! So much fun you show in your great drumming! I had the record back in 1979! You do justice!!
I had my doubts, but AMAZING! Fine work.
Thank you Mr. Bradshaw - and welcome to the channel. Feel free to look around. Be well, friend!
I've always loved the Drums and the song Music Box Dancer by Frank Mills and no matter what instrument is added to Music Box Dancer, like your drums and cymbals, just makes me love it more...
Thanks for the new version!
Keep on drummin and creating great music...
Very Very Very Good. Could Listen To This Forever. Very Very Relaxing6/24/17
Thank you, Thomas! Welcome to the channel, and thanks for your comment!
I've loved this song since it came out when I was around 6. It's always on a playlist, without exception. I just can't tire of it, but the thought of putting a dumb beat down had me angry, appalled, disgusted,...... but I have to admit you did a wonderful job! When I listen to the song now, my memory is filling in your drum accompaniment. Mind blown.....
love this song and absolutely loved the drumming you are really good on the drums and it sounded awesome I have been playing the video over and over again you couldn't played it any better that was amazing keep it up :)
Thank you! You added a new dimension to this song.
You're amazing!! I LOVE THIS!
Thats was fantastic!! I really enjoyed listening.
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel. I hope you enjoy your stay.
音樂盒舞者用搖滾方式伴奏別有一番韻味
i was surprised how well this actually worked, awesome stuff,
Thank you! If I'm being honest, I was a bit surprised as well.... ha! Thanks for watching and commenting, and welcome to the channel!
I was surprised too, really cool
very very well done... I super like it.
Great playing man fantastic I like it .☺ 👍👍👍.
I think is a great play of drums, and all my best wishes for the drummer. The Frank Mills Music Box Dancer for me is very special. Thanks.
You're a very fine drummer! Wish I could play drums like that!! I'm always fascinated by watching drummers! Fascinating how you guys are able to get so many different sounds and rhythms out of those drums! And how fast you can move your arms and legs and hands and feet and never miss a beat-it just boggles my mind!
Well, my new friend, that was a very kind comment! Thank you so much! I do a new cover every week, and instead of just drumming, I do the whole thing. Let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
That's really swell! I play this tune on my banjo sometimes! Of course I'm not nearly as good on the banjo as you are on the drums, but I love doing it! It WOULD probably sound much better if I had a band backing me up, but no, it's just me and my banjo! I have to sing the piano melody because I need the banjo to be whole band! Can you tell exactly what kind of instrumentation the tune uses? Piano and drums of course but I'm also hearing bass, various percussion, strings (probably synthesized) and possibly either live or synthesized vocals.
Your very good, made me laugh. Keep up the brilliant work!!! Also I do love this tune.
This is so epically awesome. Serious talent dude!
Well , who would have thought ? Not me. Brilliant !
Absolutely brilliant ❤❤❤😊😊😊.....
Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you, Amy! Welcome to the channel.
My late husband was a drummer.
This brought me to tears, good ones.
Remimded me of him listening to cassettes while he practiced before going to band practice. Always a perfectionist with his drumming skills.
Hope this makes you feel better look up ex order 13818 aka jubilee
I am sorry He is drumming in Heaven ❤️
I lost my hubby of 44 years. He had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Miss him so much.
Awesome! I've always liked *"Music Box Dancer,"* but there wasn't enough drum rhythm. This would've *definitely* helped. I like it. :)
Musical boxes tend not to have drums fitted, I think it was meant to be a dainty piece of music. Love this version as well though 🤗🤗
Drum cover of a smash hit?
I see what you did there.
AND I THOUGHT I COULD PLAY THE DRUMS ILL THINK AGAIN, F***ING FANTASTIC
Keep practicing those drums! Thank you so much for your kind comment! Just in case you're wondering, I'm still active on my new channel, "Magic Jones" - click here to see some of my new music! (I covered Enya's Orinoco Flow and made it rock!)

You made this favorite instrumental of mine get up and really Dance Around. . I loved every minute of your cover. Thank You so much for sharing your talent.
