Drum Solo Gone Wrong in a Stadium, Dude.

- Dudes. Harry Miree attempts a drum solo in April of 2017 at Exploria Stadium in Orlando FL. Drum solos got inexplicably phased out of the tour after this one. What, was something wrong?

If I saw this live I would have just assumed it was a skit.
considering the vocal line right after he catches the stick that was tossed to him "let me grip my stick" I think you may be on to something. Though this video apperently 'woosh'ed like 90% of the people who watched it.
I'm choosing to believe it was all intentional
One might say Keith Moon'ish heh... Can't find it now but there's vid of him bouncing sticks off snare & them going all over the place.
It was.
Looked like it to me. Real mvp is the guy who tossed the stick. Could have gone anywhere.
Is this the first and only case of "I wish I had practiced more stick tricks instead of technique" ever?
I think it is
It’s gotta be
God I'm so bad at them, this video gives me hope
Nope
I’ve seen mike portnoy drop it a few times and keep going lmaooo it’s all good
He may have lost the sticks, but he never lost the beat.
Gotta hand it to the guy
Right on dude
Yes and that's what i found to👏👏👏
Hey Dude, it kinda looked like you were dropping the sticks on purpose so you could show how you could still keep the solo going! That, in and of itself, is impressive.
Repetition legitimizes 🤷♂️
I think it adds comical value, which was kinda already incorporated with the cowbell so it worked
@@lundinkrazy dududududuu dudu
I actually thought the same thing! It really did look purposeful. But he recovered like a pro, with the help of a band mate. Whew! 😳
Oh, he was *definitely* dropping the sticks on purpose! Are you kidding? Harry could fill in for Carter Beauford...he's THAT good. He drops no sticks on accident. :)
If that’s “gone horribly wrong” I don’t wanna be right.
I wish my bass playing was this horribly wrong.
As Adam Neely says: Repetition Legitimizes. Just keep dropping that stick until people assume you’re doing it on purpose! Or a great save, either way!
Jazz: if you make a mistake, repeat it 3 times getting louder each time. No one will notice.
@@bustedfender You have to really mess things up while playing jazz for people to notice. I played saxophone when I was in school and then also sat in a couple of local/regional jazz ensembles from time to time after that. Pretty much the only person who will notice is yourself. So many times after a gig I would be down on myself for F'ing up a solo that I had, and everyone else would be asking me what I was talking about.
It's hard to not criticize yourself harshly, but once you really that everyone messes up, too, and the tunes don't go down in flames each time, you learn to live with it pretty easily.
Repetition legitimizes...
High key thought the dropped sticks were intentional the way he played it off on stage. The sign of a true professional is when you mess up but the viewer thinks it’s intentional.
Are you serious?
The viewer should think it's intentional. IT WAS INTENTIONAL.
Come on, bro🤣🙈
William Rockenbaugh I love that he had it right the first time 🤣
Everyone messes up sometimes. It's how you handle it that makes the difference between a professional and an ametur.
This was in no way a fail... most refreshing solo I've seen in a good while actually :-)
Yup! Entertaining, not too wanky, and I could definitely hear a lot of Neil Peart who is a great influence :)
You didn't catch the fail
1:00 when he throws the sticks
The title should have said failed stick tricks? The solo was solid the whole way through, even when he dropped the sticks he owned it and adjusted. Plus the way he communicated with the crowd almost made it seem like a bit that he does.
Too good. So awesome 😎
The cowbell counter must be in the thousands after this
Holy shizzle dudes 56 likes!
@@jakewoods609 57 now.
Manthan Shah 180 now
Daniel Makes Cadences damn I expected like 3
Your $1,200 is on the way...
Good
LEGEND
Thanks Gabe
HOLD IT! There’s been some accusations that the Dude was fed inside info on the cheap vs expensive snare episode. I’m catching a whiff of Quiz Show antics, if not outright PAYOLA. Dude, we thought you were untouchable. All for $1200??!!? Say it ain’t so, Dude... say it ain’t so.
@@DZNTZ 😂😂😂
I love how humble you are. Most would never post this. You're a true LEGEND!
to be fair the drumming is still hot stuff
Harry hit things. What more could you want?
it was on purpose lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Tan Man Sam is there anything that makes it clear this is on purpose? it probably is, but i dont see any clear indicator here, people make funny mistakes all the time.
Love the "where am I going to get a stick now" look dude!
There's something in psychology called The Pratfall Effect that says that if a person proves themselves to be competent all the time, sure, you might like them. But if a person has shown how competent they are *then* they make a mistake, they become even more likeable.

Yeah and in circus they ALWAYS fail twice before "recovering" so that it looks properly challenging.
Oh man, a case of the fumblies. Hate when that happens!! Ballsy to go for a stick toss with your last spare stick. Thanks for sharing Harry.
Dude. All of it was intentional. SMH.
I wouldn't toss with no spares.
“Gone wrong” video, better than my regular videos, that’s why I never bother uploading.
Derrick Santos I just checked out your vids and they’re great, man!
domdomdrumdrum wow! Thanks, brother. Much appreciated 🙏🏻
Agreed that was a hella performance
Imagine being able to post yourself failing 5 times in a row , man you’re humble
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the most enjoyable solos I have seen. As a drummer of almost 20 years many solos while impressive are banal and show off fests..
You have such style and individuality in the way you play. I genuinely love the fact that your drop the sticks multiple times..
Making mistakes and still shredding is oddly more satisfying in a world of so much engineered production.
The videos you create bring myself and my parter tons of joy...
Dude.
You are great, dude.
I would kill to be able to pull off a performance like this - 10/10 would envy again
Holy shit the laughs I got from watching this took it from an already awesome sounding solo to a transcendent one, what a great way to start my day
Love that you can laugh at your mistakes. Humility is the basis of all quality human beings.
Harry, so awesome to hear/see you again and glad you are rocking it out still! The Dude sounds great and I hope you did not hit anyone sharing those sticks with the audience :-) As others commented - it seemed more part of the act - you played through it well and your face expression did not show any of the "holy crap, what do I do now"! I assume you got a bigger stick bag. Love the CowBell in the solo!
cmon, this was one of the most entertaining drum solo I've seen in a while!
I looked at all the comments, read the title of the video, and then watched the video while staring at the health bar, and STILL thought this was all intentional. You never even biffed the beat, and the stick toss at the end was straight baller. You're still my Dude, dude. (Also was a very good drum solo)
To recover with so much flair beats any number of perfect solos any day!
Saw the DUDE stopped what I was doing 🤘🤘
When he pulls the last stick and throws it, I was like, "duude..." but he still killed that shit and nailed the recovery
Thank you Dude for the great content. You're a beast bro. Good on to stay humble and real. Much love.
Forget the sticks, listen to his playing, he sounds awesome
But what if you soloed on a cajone?
Who needs a cajone, when they've got cojones?
no
im going to call the police
@@therealstick7430 please don't....
“I got a fever!”
Better quarantine then.
"...and the only cure is MORE COWBELL!"
This was such a great bit, you're amazing dude! I love that your way of showing off your talent is doing something "horribly" but also absolutely crushing it at the same time, this was the best!
Look at him go!! No drum fail there. In fact, I saw an incredible solo save. I love how he kept it going, threw all his sticks, laughed at himself, and the crowd loved it. Save save save. More cowbell.
It’s always a good day when Harry posts
The people looking at their phones instead of the stage, didn't even notice. So you got this going for you.
The level of humility you have to have to attempt that and still post is incredible. That's why you'll always be the dude of drumming! 💜
Way more entertaining than most rock and pop drum solos. I love it!
That was more entertaining than the stick tricks would have been.
Lmao dude.good recovery
This guy is on of the most entertaining drummers I've ever seen.🔥🔥🔥
Brother, you have NOTHING to worry about. That was sick. Besides, your good humor that you have about yourself and the craft, I would have simply thought it was intentional.. almost like you were poking fun at dropping/throwing sticks during a solo lol. GREAT stuff. Keep them coming!
111,000 of your subscribers would like you to solo again. That is all.
Haha, that's not a solo going wrong....hold my beer
I approached this video with the belief that it wasn't real and this was just good effects and editing but it was fun to slowly realize he was truly shredding in front of a crowd of cheering people!
The proof that this was skit was how quickly and accurately he flipped the stick to regrip after the drum roll. Raw entertainment value
Fantastic Solo! Stick catching needs some work ;)
Ah man, who cares? You're such a killer drummer, that it doesn't matter : D
truth.
No matter what mistakes happened, it's about your character. You kept going and kept having a great attitude while being fun. That's legend right there.
This will probably go down as one of the most helpful videos for aspiring Drummers. You're a legend bro
Dude this is literally me when I do everything that involves anything at anytime and anywhere. *Any*
*figuratively
I find drummers messing up really hard to watch, I get flash backs to bad gigs. not sure I can handle watching this, might need to warm to up to it.
EDIT: ok watched it... phew... wasn't that bad ! hahah love you Harry ... that could definitely pass as part of the act
Hell yeah!!! Loves the cowbell transition
...double bass chops are amazingly fast, smooth, accurate, and ......fast!... Nice!
"WE NEED MORE COWBELL"!😂
Let's see how many get this...
Dude, you are a freaking Legend lol. Its an honor to tell someone that I sub to the Dude.
it's how you respond to the days when things aren't going your way. i applaud the lad.
You played that off brilliantly! Real quick short story. I was doing a small gig and jumped up on my stool to hit the final crash in a song. I fell off and knocked out the power to the PA... Everyone thought it was cool and funny. My back hurt for days.
Thank you for making my day! Such an impressive recovery!
The fact that you kept trying while seamlessly maintaining the groove AND playing the whole thing off as a bit added a fun layer to the solo for me. That’s talent!! Love your playing, dude 👌🏻👌🏻
Brilliant! One of the best spoofs on drum solos I’ve seen! Well played!
And yet still one of the better drum solos I've heard in a long time. The stick toss from stage left was more impressive than the original idea anyway. Killer double beats, too. Still laying down the beat with one stick earns you "the dude"
Dude, you continually show the sheer human side to the craft, that's what I enjoy & respect the most. Enjoy drums... Always 🥁🤗
ABSOLUTELY MADE MY DAY! Lovely to see you again SPECIALDUDE!
Not very professional, yet at the same time very professional. Class act.
Dude, the first time I saw Mike Portnoy drop a stick in concert, it changed my life. Thanks for sharing and keep soloing. We’re all human.
It's obvious he purposely drops his sticks as part of the schtick (pun intended) as they sync up with the sound effects, plus the video's I watch of Harry, this perfectly matches up with his distinct wit & humor. Great stuff Harry!
I helped you set up a kit for lo-cash once. You were super easy to work with and very professional, plus you left your sunglasses on the stage and I rocked them for work the rest of the summer
....and I've been selling frozen yoghurt ever since....love you Harry see you in another 2 years!
That was awesome! It’s so good to see you posting again.
Smoothest recoveries I’ve ever seen! The toss from the tech side stage was a nice touch.
Enjoyed every second dude, mad props for keeping your composure 🤘
Dude, that was a dudely drum solo of epic dudeliness, dude! Harry Miree needs to drum solo more like this! Reinventing the dude wheel!
Dude!
Harry- I speak for MANY.......THANK YOU for checking in. Dude....I'm an old dude, closer to 70 than 50, k? And when I come across a young dude like yourself, I can't help but think, and smile....that Dude-dom is safe and alive, and will survive. Because Harry carries the flag.....
Man you just kept rocking so nothing was lost bro!! Keep it grooving!
Its always fun to see this man jammin. Love this guy, never quits and motivates us to do the same. Thank you Harry!!!!!
That’s no fail! He dropped sticks and stayed in time, that’s EPIC!
Its why we love you dude! Thanks for keepin it real!
this is probably one of the coolest fails I've ever seen. If all I had was the audio, I would've had no Idea something went wrong.
Honestly madly impressive, you didn't miss a beat. If I just heard the audio of this solo I wouldn't have had a clue anything went wrong
I’m just saying that stick catch at the end was literally redemption arc of the century
Dude, they loved it. The most skillful fail I've ever seen hahaha
if that's a fail your standards are stratospheric! well played! Kudos to the drum tech throwing you the stick too!
That was awesome. Thanks, Harry!
Dude, that recovery catch, makes up for all the "failed" ones!! Too awesome!!
Amazing recovery. It looks like you almost dropped that last stock too, but you pulled it together without missing the beat. Most impressive sir
That is the most clutch thing i have ever witnessed
That was tremendous. Such joy. Your Drumeo Gab was beautiful, too. Just listened.
Dude. You have great skills and even greater humor. Keep up the great work.
Brilliant recovery man. You gotta keep your focus and everyone will just think it's part of the show... That's exactly what you did!
That was pretty damn cool. Love the theatrics!!! Best solo ever!
it’s little stuff like this at shows that makes me love live music more and more
The showmanship is unreal guy
Harry!!! With eyes close there is no fail!! I'll tell you truth though, the confidence and humility it took to put this up... much respect man!!! Really!! That's some generosity! (fast as hell with those crossovers.. shit!!)
Please do NOT stop that routine! It's amazing how solid you kept the beat with the stick dropping. You're the best brotha' Dude!
Had my phone in my pocket listening to this. Had to actually watch the vid because I couldn't tell he messed up. Sick vid!
Hope this goes viral. Miree has a crazy work ethic!
Loved it! So humbling.
that's a win my friend! Being able not to throw away your last stick and run off the stage screaming is beyond what most of us could do. 💪
That was awesome how you improvised....miss seeing you out on the road!!!!
Dude, so REAL. Got mad skills ,and human too.
I can’t believe I missed this post. It’s what I’ve needed for the last 9 months
