As a musician I'm genuinely amazed how Steve manages to keep track of timing under his tricks. Proves that there was a huge solid base many years before the "wrong gig" stuff.
As a drummer myself, I love watching Steve play. His style is so chaotic and wild yet precisely under control at all times. Every time he hits a cymbal I'm like "he's gonna drop a stick".....still waiting lol.
I appreciate that. People "assume" that I'm out of control (and it's designed to look that way). However, there's always a part of my brain that's tight to my rehearsal room... meaning I can't get too caught up in the moment (the live show) or I'll mess up. There's always a part of me that's trying to be connected to the "rehearsals" I did beforehand. Hope that makes sense. :-)
@@themaddrummerofficial That's quite difficult to do. I've been playing for 25 years and I still drop sticks when I get too carried away. Or perhaps I'm just a lousy drummer. LOL
After 12 years, he is much more sophisticated (and faster) with less flashy showmanship and he has evolved into a powerhouse first class pro. I’m hoping that his talent is recognized and he joins a nationally known band. Keep those kick ass videos coming! Woooooo!
@@captaininsano422 Apparently 12 years since his last video, according to other posts. Imho, his playing was way above the other musicians with him, which seemed to be cover bands playing in smaller venues. Hoping he gets the recognition he deserves.
My god. Just when you think this dude couldn't possibly top his abilities he goes and pulls out all the stops. Absolutely incredible man. Can't wait to see what's coming next
It’s not even the speed it’s the absolute INSANE timing on every piece of his kit that is insane. If there is no quantization on this recording…I bet if you analyzed the precision of each hit it’s probably less than 2% off the beat. Seriously.
I absolutely love this song. It's so awesome. I've been a fan of Steve since I saw drummer at the wrong gig video. He is absolutely amazing. But I want more of Steve playing metal because he does it so great. And I also like how clean his kit looks. That Tama kit is really beautiful. Rock on Steve 🤘🏻
Steve, man, you have a gift that people search for their whole lives and never find. I hope you're doing well, and I can say with full confidence, that 99.99% of the people here would love to see more videos from you banging on the drum all day.
You are still one of my favorite drummers and I was blessed to be able to watch Brick Mistress live so many times when we were young. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around Tim Aymars passing. It's so very sad.
Thanks Crystal. Tim was a legend, he was just a powerhouse. It's really had an effect on Jim (not to imply it didn't affect me as well). However, I didn't really they knew each other for 30 years or so. I still love those guys with everything in me. 🙏
@@themaddrummerofficial I was a fan of Tim's since he joined Psycho Scream and attended many shows but I became very close friends with Tim in 2002. I had the honor of being in the studio when he recorded several vocal tracks on Pharaohs first album. His skill level is through the roof and he had such a kind heart. We still stayed in touch throughout the years. I consider Jim and Tim family and I did talk to Jim on the phone after this happened. All of the fond memories keep flooding back and it's hard to retain the tears while I'm at work. My thoughts are with all of his band mates that loved him.
Fan-freakin’-tastic! Loved it! More please. I always enjoy your playful humor on Mad Drummer shows but this was really great. I’ve seen your performance at a drum clinic too. To me this is the best one to date. I sense you have tremendous fun playing serious too. Your a treasure sir, drum on! Don
Was thinking the first time i watched the "wrong gig" video years ago that there's no way the drummer wasn't in a metal band. and that random video has lived rent free in my head for at least a decade.
What a BEAST!!! You are badass. The stuff you did with Rick K was great, and always brought a good laugh. If Animal from the Muppets was a real person. You would be it.
I just wanted to take this moment to say that I am very grateful to be alive... Also I would totally be crowd surfing at a mad drummer show... Pick me up on your shoulders brothers....I am crying right now
Wow!!! We need MORE of this!!! Absolutely loved this!!! I've seen other videos of yours, but you're not playing material like this!!! This is fantastic!!! That double bass cymbal choke fill was SICK!!!!
Holy cow. I just watched this video...twice. Steve, you are without a doubt the best frigging drummer I've ever seen or heard for that matter. Love this.
I appreciate that. I never wanted to be a content creator. However, I've just now started to dabble in it a bit. It takes up a lot of time, but I'm beginning to enjoy it. I just have to start posting more often. :-)
Mr Steve, I'm such a big fan of yours! Not only are you one of the best drummers out there but you do insane things that Noone else does. I absolutely love watching you play and you just blow me away. Keep rocking my friend and I can't wait to see your next video.
the thing is, every band you'll be playing with, the public will ALWAYS look at you all the time during every concert, and probabily forgetting who the hell the other bandmates are. good job Man!
I understand your statement, I really do. However, I can't completely agree with it. If I was playing drums for AC/DC I doubt anyone would even know I was there. Or I was playing drums for Prince, you wouldn't even notice me (because your eyes would be on Prince). Something else to consider is WHO I would be playing with. If I was playing drum for Reba, I likely wouldn't do that stuff. LOL
This video never gets old. I've watched it several times and I enjoy it every time. Mr Steve, I am a big fan of yours and I love to watch you play. Please keep rocking my friend!
I must have watched this 20 times. Love it! I hope you make a habit of uploading more like this brother. Incredible stuff. I know I told you I was done drumming approaching 65 ......well I just purchased a great kit again. Once it's in your blood there's no denying it!
Rock on brother. I sold my kit. I bought to put a band together for a wedding. Covid hit, I ran sound, Dj, Kaioki. Im a bass player anyway. I love playing drums. But as soon as I started platying, my rotator cuff let go. The other side isnt well either. So enjoy, but take it easy brother. Peace.
Happy new year. I’d love to see a tutorial or something breaking down some of your animated playing styles. That ‘arm-roll-around animal style’ is something so fun to watch. Toy monkey drummer, etc. I adore your visual style of drumming. Great to see you’re more active as of late on this platform.
@@themaddrummerofficial ABSOLUT HAIL from FINLAND - I am SO HAPPY to see your ugly face face again 🥰🥳🤟👄 I am also ugly FINNISH metal drummer myself, so take my words with utterly profound black humor compliment and LOVE, YOU RULE ! Wish you best of year 2023 man ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
Ditto! I've watched the old videos many times and I still can't figure out what hand is where when. I'll just have to slow down the video. (I keep forgetting that UA-cam allows me to do that. )
It's a christmas miracle! Lmao Just kidding, great to have you back! Hopefully we get to experience more videos in the near future! Super clean playing as usual, loved the fills!
Mad Drummer looks sane now playing with a metal band.
Top 3 things for mental health:
- going outside regularly
- positive mindset
- playing in a metal band
What band does he play in?
@@XlissueslXgaming Madball.
@@XlissueslXgaming jk, I don't know.
@@XlissueslXgaming doesn't it say in the title of the video?
People loves your tricks, musicians loves your style, drummers loves your timing
As a musician I'm genuinely amazed how Steve manages to keep track of timing under his tricks. Proves that there was a huge solid base many years before the "wrong gig" stuff.
Worse bossa-nova ever LOL
And it only took twelve years to get another video of this absolute legend. Merry Xmas, ho ho hos
The twelve years of Christmas 🤣😇✌️
@@YTubeScandalScrambledMyHandle he must have misunderstood that song. The important thing is he's back lol
Damn! I’m winded just watching!

Gah! 2:16 Those cymbal chokes while keeping the double bass 🔥
I'm glad you caught that (it's my favorite part). 🙂
thats something else, i cant imagine how or better what it takes to be that good, this guy is just impressive
@@themaddrummerofficial DUDE!!!! AWESOME FRICKIN DRUMMING MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAD RESPECT!!!!!!!!
No doubt, cat like quickness!!!!

He's been a professional drummer including session work since the 80's dude. This song is one he recorded in like '91 or so
@@captaininsano422

For real, he's playing through something he recorded as a kid. He's been a top tier drummer for a while,the goofy shit paid the bills though
Without a doubt the best double kick drum playing I've ever heard. Hat's off to you!
The Mad Drummer is at the right gig! Congrats, Steve! Sending you hugs and kisses from Blastbeat team! 🤘🤘
Oh man, I love you guys!!! You were SO kind to me when I was in Russia. We really had a good time!!!
@The Clock Collector It's SPAM!!! I've reported them, so hopefully they'll be removed.
My god. Just when you think this dude couldn't possibly top his abilities he goes and pulls out all the stops. Absolutely incredible man. Can't wait to see what's coming next
I love everything about this...the song, the set, the style...and the Evel Knievel shirt. Epic.
Wow what a strong drummer, deadly accurate.
Steve you are one of the best 🎉
Killed it Steve!
ANDREW!!! Thank you for checking out the video. We really need to schedule something together soon.
LEGENDARY. One of the best drum performances I've ever seen. Mad chops. AMAZING!!!
Thank you for choosing this planet that we call earth.
It took him 12 years to find the song that fit his style! Well done sir!
His foot speed on the double bass pedals is insane.
It’s not even the speed it’s the absolute INSANE timing on every piece of his kit that is insane. If there is no quantization on this recording…I bet if you analyzed the precision of each hit it’s probably less than 2% off the beat. Seriously.
Steve,
Great to hear this again--it's gotten better with time . Give Jim all my best--I'll be hitting up shortly. --S.A. Adams
Why is this not spreading like wildfire??? This is the most solid piece of work I've seen in a LONG time... Endless chops. Absolutely perfect.
That's extremely kind. Thank You. 🙏
Damn I almost missed that one. Fast 'n' blast at it's best. Top performance like in all this years. Awesome!
I absolutely love this song. It's so awesome. I've been a fan of Steve since I saw drummer at the wrong gig video. He is absolutely amazing.

I dont know where to start - crisp, tight, amazing tone, amazing sticking, footwork, musical, time, so good. SO GOOD. Thank you for sharing!
Been watching you for many years now, and I still have one word to describe your talent. UNGODLY!!!!!! 👍
So entertaining theatrics plus mad skills .Always enjoy watching the Mad Drummer . As a Drummer myself I enjoy the vids
Welcome back Steve!!!!! Such a killer track, love your playing!!
Was thinking the first time i watched the "wrong gig" video years ago that there's no way the drummer wasn't in a metal band. and that random video has lived rent free in my head for at least a decade.
What a BEAST!!! You are badass. The stuff you did with Rick K was great, and always brought a good laugh. If Animal from the Muppets was a real person. You would be it.
Steve’s playing is and always has been insane. I love how EVERYTHING on his kit is perfectly symmetrical.
OCD is a curse. A CURSE!!! 🤣
What a comeback!! Impressive and brilliantly well done! Amazing!
I just wanted to take this moment to say that I am very grateful to be alive... Also I would totally be crowd surfing at a mad drummer show... Pick me up on your shoulders brothers....I am crying right now
Geezus that was tight.
Flawless drumming 🎼🥁🎵🥁🎼🙌🏻🙌🏻👏👏👏‼️
You'll forever be wearing that suit in my eyes. You're awesome dude !!!
What a great Christmas present this will be. Love ya.
Holy crap. New content. I haven’t seen anything new in years of this man! And damn, man. Metal drumming fits you!! A beast!
for sure one of the best drumers thumbs up
The accuracy is just unreal. Love the may mic system in the toms, absolute monster sound
Oh hell yeah! Christmas just got a whole lot better!
Exited to see new material! 😁👍💪
Wow!!! We need MORE of this!!! Absolutely loved this!!! I've seen other videos of yours, but you're not playing material like this!!! This is fantastic!!! That double bass cymbal choke fill was SICK!!!!
I appreciate you noticing that section. It's not really hard to play, but it's a bit tough to "balance" and not fall over. 🤣
Legend when I first saw your video over ten years ago I saw a person that truly loved what he does. Keep at it thank you 🙏🏻
Holy cow. I just watched this video...twice. Steve, you are without a doubt the best frigging drummer I've ever seen or heard for that matter. Love this.
Dude that was bad ass. As a progressive metal fan, this is the year. Make a comeback haha few better years for metal. Huge stuff happening.
I just love the clean strokes during the drum fills. Just masterful. Top shelf stuff.
Very kind of you to say. Thank you.
Amazing! You never cease to amaze me, from the comedy styles of yester-year to this absolute BEAST mode performance... Awesome
This is EPIC Steve! PLEASE do more of these!
That was awesome! Heavy and groovy at the same time, and such tasty rolls between the toms and bass drums! Love it! ❤
How do you only have 10 videos on your channel? You're a freaking legend!!!!
I appreciate that. I never wanted to be a content creator. However, I've just now started to dabble in it a bit. It takes up a lot of time, but I'm beginning to enjoy it. I just have to start posting more often. :-)
The best drummer to have ever sat behind a set of skins!!!
Love him!! But,I will always put Buddy Rich at the top. Steve's awesome!! Still have my Mad Drummer t shirt!
@@sandyhanson6082 o I loved Buddy Rich too, but there's just something about Steve that I love
I wish he would sell some merch, I'd kill for a Mad Drummer shirt!!
Just unbelievable! Just gets better and better all the time!
Every drummer here is pretty awed by that double kick timing.
Man oh man. Just love watching and hearing him play. What a great talent
Outstanding job, beautiful kit and it sounds amazing too!
I’ve always
Loved this band
Brick Mistress reunion 🤟
So clean and crisp. This dude is incredible!
Bro the break near the end and you give the 👀 and go right back into killing it! Absolutely brilliant you are amazing please make more videos!

Best arms in drumming history, what technique. Legend!
NICE! 🤘🤘🤘You sound great, man.
Absolutely amazing!
The undoubtedly drumming sound of 21st generation rock music!
Take this David Grohl and Neil Peart!
I appreciate that. However I could never compare to Dave or Neil. They're both incredible (for different reasons).
You are Truly an amazing drummer I love this song and video.Keep On Rocking.
the fills, no matter how simple or complicated, are so addictive to watch.

This deserves more views.
Guy needs more add revenue so he can buy an even bigger drum set or something that will improve his drumming even more.
Honestly....I seriousely doubt you could improve upon his drumming. He is a master of his craft....IMHO
Everything about this video is BadAss!!!!!!!! Dudes playing out of the park. That's one SWEEEET sounding kit as well.
Finally at the right gig! Love it!
One of the best!!
Bloody hell...!!! I know Steve Moore but I've never seen him playing metal before..
Nothing less that bloody awesome this guy I say!!
Killer!!!!!! The only thing he's missing is a Superman cape! Unreal!!!!
Been playing for 38 years and I am a madman behind the drum kit but you are insane!!!!!! This video and your style is so amazing!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Killin it Steve! Love it🤘
