epic.

shit, that guy is awesome xD

[DaneO'Roo]

It's funny cause the guy is more awesome than most drummers around in the music industry, yet there are bands with absolute shit drummers who earn money, while this guy is dirt poor. Kinda sad really.

Saw a guy doing junk drumming when I went to San Francisco several years ago. Awesome stuff.

I've seen one guy where he has a bunch of pots, pans, buckets, etc., and a banana. Yes, a banana. And yes, he does drum on it!

Well that's life isn't it? ^^

You are sitting in front of a very expensive computer...a computer some man in china can probably use 10 times more efficient than any of us and yet, we haven't found such a man because he doesn't have a chance in the first place.:)

[Tweek]

no, its because nobody cares, and i agree with nobody.

Yeah it is pretty sad. I've seen quite a few amazingly talented musicians while walking around vancouver, but they're using it for peoples spare change. I'm not saying they're exactly as good as professional artists, but still they're definantly worth hiring for playing in a bar, coffee shop or to be hired for as a live band for a function. Though it's pretty hard to get hired when your clothes smell like piss.

[ICEE]

DAMN, you'd think that with talent like that he'd be un-homeless-ed

[Con]

Wow, someone needs to hire him or form a band.

[jngrow]

What a FUCKING BEAST. I would throw my wallet into his bucket.

[Bad Waffle]

I really doubt that you would throw your wallet into his bucket.

[jngrow]

I really doubt that you would throw your wallet into his bucket.

I've never had more then 20 dollars in my wallet in the past 5 months. XD

[DOMINATOR]

i seriously doubt that guy is homeless. he probably really is a musician but does that for fun and gets some pocket money.

also there is a difference between sticking on random shit and playing with a melody/rhythm

[DaneO'Roo]

Hate to be an opinionated bastard here, but he plays the instrument pretty dam well, and he seems like he really loves the music, unlike most musicians who forcefully go out of their way to sound different and write songs. Music should come naturally. Not when someone says, "ok now we make song k and we have to make our voice sound totally different to our natural singing voice, to have a sound, we have to make our instruments sound like this, and we have to play this chord progression that all these guys play and we HAVE to have a solo otherwise it's not considered musical."

His drum beats sounded pretty rhythmic to me. Random shit? Maybe, but being able to pull off that random shit on a bunch of buckets and garbage, while making a decent sound and a cool beat is nothing short of awesome. The beat and the music is the point. Not how difficult it was or how much better other people could do. People are way too absorbed in nit picky bullshit and don't just fucking listen to the music. Music these days (and in previous days) has had to be so chocked up full of guitar lick that it seems to forget what the music was about in the first place.

It's like asshole guitarists HAVING to put solos in songs. "It's not music without a solo". It pisses me the fuck off. I'll be listening to an awesome melody and then captain-dipshit-rockstar-hog-the-limelight fuckhead jumps out with some overused annoying guitar whine dribble that I fast forward through because it's a stupid overused recipe for music. Not saying all solos are completely bad, I mean, a solo with an awesome bassline and drum beat accentuating each others force is a solid sound.

Too many musicians focus on making 1 layer technical, while the rest of the song seems to be boring and stale. Some guitar riff with a 4/4 drum beat in the background, a tonic note baseline and some annoying gargle yell over the top, that follows the same melody as either the bass or the guitars. What makes music really mind altering and soal shaking shit is layering. Not just shitting up 1 layer. I mean making about 6 or 7 layers all have varying melodies that not only accompany each other, but are different enough to focus on individually.

I guess thats why I love Tool, and hate Iron Maiden.

Tool, I get these technical melodic drums, with this varying and dissonant, yet harmonic vocal melody, accompanied by another, totally different rhythm guitar melody and then another, yet again different melodic layer of the lead guitar.

Iron Maiden, I hear 1 Guitarist, going off his fucking nut the entire song, a really high pitched squeel from the singer, and the other guitars copying each others melody, with the drums being about as simple as the little spelling game with the monkey playing the drums. Don't even get me started on the bassline. Totally unfunky, and pretty much just another rhythm guitar. The layers just aren't their own element. They all seem to be supporting and mimicking that shitty singer and the lead guitarist/s.

See, this is where I look like a total hypocrite. Truth is, This guy is playing his music to really connect and entertain the people around him. Big rockstar fuckhead bands just play out their solos and let all the little kiddies buy their T shirts and help fuel their Hummer limos.

Whoa, sorry Dom, don't think I was angry at you or anything, just angry at the music industry in general

i was just saying there is a difference between sticking and playing in rhythm with a melody. listening to the other instruments before your own.
when i had my drums setup in the garage i would always play on random buckets and stuff, sounds cool but it's really just a beat. not saying im as good as that guy because i am not. he has some awesome stuff in there.

i agree sometimes the song just doesnt progress naturally and parts are forcefully added. i find solo's mostly annoying in metal genres its like people think songs wont be considered metal without a solo. these solo's are typically what i call finger exercise solos... nothing difficult about them just how fast you can play a series of notes. i blame alot of that on metallica being such a successful metal band they did these type of solos all the time.

ironmaiden was the same way.
im not really a tool fan but they aight once in awhile.

money, fame, power change people. usually the band breaks up if not their influences change and they become generic. its a cycle just like everything else.

not at all. just discussing.

depends who you want to listen to... real musicians who play to express themselves or ringtone artist.

[DaneO'Roo]

I totally forgot you were a drummer, so I totally trust your opinion on this then. I for one can't drum for SHIT so this guy seems godly to me.

I guess I can't tell these days what artists really are in it for the money or the music, so I guess I should just go with whatever I like, regardless of the artists motives. As long as I get good music that effects me in the end, I guess I'm happy.
