Im a normal guy that has no knowledge of drumming at all. I dont care about his technique he entertained me like no other Drummer in a Band could ever. Really fun to watch and even greater to hear:D
I remember him just starting out with just 2 buckets, and one of them he sat on. There were times that he didn't even had a bucket, he would just make music out of everything around him on the subway platform, the garbage can, the metal signs, etc.
Once played a gig on a tiny stage with an even tinier drum stage/riser. Had my tom toms on a stand with one or two cymbals attached to it as well. In the middle of one song the whole stand fell off the drum stage and started tipping backwards so I had to take a dive over the drums to save it from crashing to the ground. The rest of the gig a friend of mine was forced to sit on the edge in front of the tom stand to keep it from falling again haha.
WOW!! I saw him b4 Great rhythm, timing and idealistic ideas he has. As to drums moving. Had a bassist that was plastered fell into the kit and he was caught in it. It was perfect for the time being. lolz. Thanks for sharing.
Wow... good critique, man. He was getting like 6 different sounds from that one bucket alone. I am surprised he didn't have an Aluminum turkey pan for a metal thud sound, like a dull symbol or something. It was really good, and it is certain that he is a real drummer too, but I agree that he was doing standard stuff, but one can only do a limited set of things with that 'kit'. What was that at the end? 64ths?
From Bristol, U.K. When we were allowed out, seeing guys like this playing in the town centre was very common on a Saturday or Sunday. A few really good players around Temple Meads Station too. Its a very musically diverse city, and I love living here!
Someone buy this guy a 🍷 n a drum kit🥁 Nice change of pace Andrew great video. I'm here in good ole Dallas Texas enduring 2 tragedies the Virus n our Whitehouse 😢but Happy Holidays to all God bless n may 2021 be beautiful ✌️
I'm from Bury St. Edmunds, United Kingdom. My town is like a graveyard...shops closed, litter everywhere...people look ill and depressed...all very scared of each other!! I've been unemployed all year...can't find a job anywhere close to home...on government benefits...feel like I'm surplus to requirement!! Never lived through such a tough time...but your videos help a bit!! :) How's New Zealand looking these days??
As far as him doing that drum routine, it wasn't mindbogglingly technical since it was pretty much 16th notes in a straight 4-beat which is just fine. What makes it really good/fun is the creativity of using buckets (and lifting the "bass drum" with his foot) and being entertaining with his stick gymnastics without dropping the stick even once on a street somewhere in a city.
North East of England, about 12 miles north of Newcastle. Tbh, it's not been a horrific change for me. I'm disabled and only usually get out once a week anyway. Been outside 5 times since March and all to the hospital.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Hope so pal, we usually go to the wife's family in Scotland for Xmas, can't this year obviously. A new kitten has cheered her up and got me some husband points 😂 All the best for xmas and new year pal.
I've wanted to learn the drums for a really long time... Due to neighbors , an acoustic kit is sort of out of the question for home... And also - space is even a bit of an issue for an electric kit... But I think it could work somehow. Do you have any advice? For example, should I just go to have a drum lesson without even a plan of getting a kit just to see how it goes? How essential do you think it is early on in the journey to have a kit to practice on at home between weekly lessons ? Thanks, appreciate any feedback!
Andrew, did you ever watch any of the videos of the Japanese girl Yoyoka playing drum covers? She's an amazing talent and watching her play Led Zeppelins "Good Times Bad Times" when she's 8 is mind-blowing. She's done many videos that are just a joy to watch. Yoyoka (8 years old) - Led Zeppelin - Good Times Bad Times ua-cam.com/video/91pz1E8pAOY/v-deo.html Yoyoka (10 years old) - Rush - YYZ (!!!!) ua-cam.com/video/lGETWi1QufE/v-deo.html Her YYZ rendition blew my mind when I saw/heard it for the first time.
Anyone know what happened to Gordo's youtube channel? (ua-cam.com/users/thedrummergordo)? It seems youtube just "disappeared" it, no indication that it ever even existed, nor why it was deleted. Which is bad enough for the creator, and absolutely rude and an inexcusable thing to do to all of yt's users: Tell us it was removed, and preferably why it was removed. Reminds me of the kind of move a dictator would do to someone that got on his bad side... Come to think of it...
Hacked by people claiming to be the company responsible for the currency XRP (I think that’s the name). He is trying to get it back. They started by deleting his content, replacing it with their live stream. Then, once the stream was over, they deleted the channel.
@@Internetindividual07 It seems situations like this happen pretty often, and I think UA-cam needs to come up with a better way of handling them that is fair to both the creator and his subscribers. How does a re-instated UA-camr even let his (former) subs know he's back on-line? Seems to me like that's a critical element of restoring a creator's channel. (And I'm thinking there may be a Reddit sub for discussions exactly like this one is turning out to be.)
Okay idk if you read the comments but I have a reaction request. Please React to vektor tetrastructural minds drum playthrough. It's a really good song drums wise and everything is put together so well. It's on Mike ohlsons yt.
The critique of basic performance. When I look at street performs I give them the Bruce Lee grade. Am I impressed with a Performer who knows 100 routines or a Performer that has done 1 routine 100 times. What he's drumming is the kind of drumming I did in the back classes. Or when I'm bored. But it's the spectacle.
Hey!Watching this here in Greece, it reminded me a dude that plays techno with tubes and flip flops! He has a channel here if you want to check him out.
Tell me Andy what you think of 1937 Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman Orchestra. A Fellow Kiwi asks cause I can't keep still and can't think of a better Drum arrangement that will draw me away from this arrangement (including Moby Dick that I Love). Tony a Kiwi too
My first gig ever was a basement deathcore show, nobody brought a rug/mat, kick drum and toms were a solid 6inches further away than when I started. I was so nervous I almost yacked on my hi-hat. Andrew, all I want for christmas is a donnie marple reaction: ua-cam.com/video/L6dEVTFDBN0/v-deo.html
Here in New York City I see quite a few bucket drummers. Some are just awful, but money tins fill despite. Keep the hands and feet moving quickly and the tourists lap it up.
I am pretty sure I saw this guy when I was in New York maybe 2013? I was there with my brother and my mum and I heard a beat like this very distinctly in the distance. Either he has copy cats or he went to new york and played the same thing. Either way it is insanely impressive.
Of course Mike! As I said in the video, it's a very click baity title. But the drummer didn't post the video or title it. The person in the crowd filming did
I know... you do drums. But this 'reaction' here was to street music, and so I thought you would enjoy checking this Russian girl out. She is a primo musician. I hope you are familiar with The Mandalorian. She did this piece inside, but most of her videos are of her and street musicians, ALSO very good works. This one is for the TV show theme and is spot on work, Kate Bush level stuff... (hope you get the reference) ua-cam.com/video/63TQKWokqeU/v-deo.html
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Another one I am sure you have already heard of and seen works from is a cover band from Spain that does each song in a different costume set. 4 girls and a three piece of all dudes, and some amazing covers are done. Quite a few actually. They are called "Broken Peach". If you have never seen them, you will love it. Good drummer there too... Versatile.
Things are ok. The first video I watched from you was the tool puema video. I've liked tool since the 90s. Wouldn't call myself a extreme fan. I am more of a lamb of god fan. Ex drummer Chris adler is what I loved about the band. Maybe you can check him out? Anyway, how is New Zealand?
God Damn man... this guy blew it out of the park! We did not need a critic... he fu#king awesome! Sticks not lasting long!? Who gives a bats ass... he certainly doesn't... just admit it. Your not qualified to critic this...
0:54 Same bro. I wont listen to an artist if everyone loves it, or a movie or a show. This is why I never watched game of thrones, and after all the negative feedback im just glad i never got into it lol Youre fine bro. Just healthy male genetics at work haha
Im a normal guy that has no knowledge of drumming at all. I dont care about his technique he entertained me like no other Drummer in a Band could ever. Really fun to watch and even greater to hear:D
We have to love how hw is using the pavement stones as a snare! And he is getting perfect tone and pitch the whole time!
Even the pigeon was grooving
😂🥁👌
did u not get from sssniperwolfs vid :/
He reminds me of a drum line drummer especially with the flare that he plays with without losing time. He’s really good and groovy
I remember him just starting out with just 2 buckets, and one of them he sat on. There were times that he didn't even had a bucket, he would just make music out of everything around him on the subway platform, the garbage can, the metal signs, etc.

In New York we call them 'pots and pans drummers' they are often in the subways. fantastic talent.

Yup he's smashin it! Need to see more of him
We used to have alot of bucket drummers here in DC, ecspecially when the gogo scene was huge. Still see them around making some tips here & there
Indeed that was a whole different box o'frogs. Street performers gotta perform, and he did great.
EXACTLY!
Gotta entertain :)

Sounds like a good place to be Ari! 🥁🎶🙌
"When we were allowed out" Is this an idiom or are you a prisoner?
Has he got a soundsystem playing in the back ground? there’s some sounds that he ain’t making with the bucket.
Someone buy this guy a 🍷 n a drum kit🥁 Nice change of pace Andrew great video. I'm here in good ole Dallas Texas enduring 2 tragedies the Virus n our Whitehouse 😢but Happy Holidays to all God bless n may 2021 be beautiful ✌️

I'm a singer but I'm obsessed with these videos
HAHA! Awesome! It's all about the discovery for me :)
Great reactions! Can react on Sean Reinert from Cynic band. Will be nice, especially what he left his body at the beginning of this year.Thanks
Sounds good man! 🥁🤜
I hope you've seen his video, think its the same guy, where he is just using 1 bucket lol, amazing
French Canada here. Nice and snowy out. Not a great year for gigging musicians. Weird times.

I'm in the states. The snowy part. Things are going great here, if you're a tiny spikey ball of doom. For pilots like me, it could be better. :/
Oh wow Richard! Summer here so getting very hot. Christmas is often a bbq at the beach 🏖
The guy who posted that video is not the drummer, the drummer has a channel named Gordo Drummer.
Check out Alex Bent from Trivium. Watch his video of playing the song Betrayer.
In Omaha, Nebraska and still this side of the dirt.
Good to hear Jeff!
Imagine pulling this off at your High School Talent show. Do you know how popular you would be lol?
Be great at a talent show for sure David
I'm in USA....Florida
I would have given this dude 20 bucks easy... Very innovative with A+ rhythm.
What is the drummer's name????
His YT channel is called GordoDrummer i believe
Sir if you dont know this the guy whos drumming have a yt channel its name is Gordo Drummer i enjoyed this video hope youve gain more subscribers
