If Bruno Mars can do this, imagine what Bruno Earth could do

We’ve come to the point where seeing a musician able to play an instrument as an unbelievable thing.

It was very kind of Bruno Mars to allow them to play football during his concert

Very well executed solo. He was in the pocket, punchy and he was restrained. You don't have to have a million strokes to have a great drum solo. He was playing at a very prestigious event, so I'm sure he had to have a rehearsed solo. He had fun, he showed finesse, he didn't overdo it. It was great.

No one: Backround: eiei ei eiei ei ei eiei ei ei eiei ei eiei ei ei eiei ei eieiei ei eiei ei ei eiei ei ei

Comment section is: 95% people complaining about haters against Bruno 4% haters 1% people talking about the actual solo

That was a pleasantly delivered solo. As a singer there's really no reason why he'd need to play another instrument besides his voice but my boy got some chops. Very nice.

When I was much younger, my bass teacher showed me this full performance. His goal was to help me understand the “performance” side of music and how it takes more than just playing the song correctly to perform something that people want to listen to. This is the perfect performance to showcase this concept. Bruno plays in the pocket with fantastic feel and approaches his solo appropriately without overloading us with technically complex fills. But equally importantly; he does this with swagger. The way he beats the hell out of his snare and looks into the audience to connect with them. The faces he pulls and the exaggerated crashes of his cymbals. These are all apart of what makes this an effective opening to a fantastic performance. Perfectly executed. I’m so glad I was taught this lesson as a young musician because it sets pros apart from mediocrity. Thanks Bruno and thanks to my og bass teacher.

I have been drumming for 12 years and all of you pretentious drummers on here criticizing him makes the drumming community toxic. Cant we all just appreciate someone playing drums without judgement?

This dude just has a great ear for music. I'm sure he's not the most technically savvy drummer but he clearly knows how to write for the song, and most importantly plays solid and in time. He obviously knows some rudiments too! Huge fuckin talent this guy!

If you think that drum solo is something anyone can do, then i hope you can sing like bruno does

Bruno is one of the very few pop stars with actual musical talent.

I'm more of a rock/metal guy but I was kinda surprised by this.

He looks like hes having a lot of fun and thats all that really matters

I've been drumming for 17 years. I came here to laugh. But I gotta leave saying "Fair play". That was actually smooth AF. Man has pocket.

The fact that a celebrity music artist is actually playing an instrument amazes me nowadays

The haters on this video complaining that anybody could play this are so foolish. First of all, while its not an incredibly technical drum solo, Bruno does display some chops at 0:30 that are definitely beyond what most beginners could do. I also wouldn't be surprised if he has more chops he's not displaying. Secondly, his timing and feel are great. Its these kinda "small details" that seperate the amateurs from the pros. There's an art to playing "simple stuff" but making it sound great. Thats why guys like Steve Gadd are legends. Finally, keep in mind the context. He's a pop artist playing to a superbowl audience. The average listener doesn't care if music is "technical" or not. They care if it sounds musical. Were The Beatles technical? No. Were they musical? The majority of the world seems to think so. Bruno gets it. These haters are blinded by their own egos.

Wow. Very Impressive. I was not expecting him to be that good. (yes, I'm also a drummer)

Bruno is such a breath of fresh air when it comes to pop music He has a great voice, he plays guitar, he can sing and play guitar, he can dance and sing, and now this! He's a complete artist, I couldn't complain about anything

Been drumming over 20 years. That was a solid solo.

Being a true musician is not just playing an instrument. Also, a true artist must have a good performance on stage. For those who only focus on his ability on drums to criticize him as a musician, he also plays piano, sings wonderfully and he is a great composer. Also, he dance very well.

That was cool, probably his brother taught him that!

It’s not about how complex the drum solo is, also there’s nothing wrong with some cheesy drum fills and licks. What matters the most is that Bruno played a PERFECT TIME right there!!!! His groove is perfect and the subdivisions are so crisp and clear

I'm really not a fan of his music but I have to say I was thoroughly impressed by this. Not the craziest solo in the world obviously but executed pretty darn well. Good timing, tight playing, good technique and good dynamic control as well.

Just great entertainment. he has it all, great singing, great keyboards, drumming...Ok it works.. and it sounds good... That's why I would pay to see him. His music is uplifting and high energy. Good for you Bruno keep it up.

I'm a drummer, and honestly, as long as you're not Justin Beiber... welcome to the drum community. Edit: I don't even remember watching this video nor making this comment. For everyone hating in the comments calm down it's a joke. Stop the 🧢.

Coming from a drummer of over 20 years, this was impressive. Mr.Mars is a very talented dude!

what a great musician overall....he can nail live performances by his little moves while perfect singing....he could play instruments.....he make songs with retro feel

even though I don't listen very much modern pop music, I give the guy credit. in an industry overrun with technology to help people sound good he actually knows how to play an instrument and sing

I'm a fucking drummer and for him to do that is pretty fucking impressive. I love the haters lmao. This man is beyond talented. I would only wish to be as talented as him.

People just judge the complexity of a solo, but I just tightness more than anything. I’m a classical/jazz pianist and have seen it all. But it’s his tightness that displays talent. And then he does everything else tastefully as well. I’m not a pop fan but Bruno rocks.

Bruno is a legitimate musician. He actually plays piano, guitar, he sings, not hard to believe he would play drums. Musical instruments are like train stations, you might be going to Penn station but decide one day you'll just take a different train for the hell of it and end up at Times Square station. The thing about drumming is that drumming consistently in time, playing effectively, finding a rhythm that feels natural and soloing even for a minute feels like an hour. Go play drums to a 3 minute track, trying to get through it really does feel longer than it should.

better than biebs solo

Best way to open the halftime show. Bruno is a very talented artist.

whaaaaaattt, didnt know he was multi instrumentalist, and so good at it too! He is one of the very rare few pop icons that actually has some real talent

Possibly one of the best half time shows ever

I did not expect that from him, thats some tight drumming

ain't gonna lie those ghost notes are impresive 🤙

I don't care what any of the haters say. He is a singer. The fact he can play the drums that well too is awesome. I play the drums and saxophone and flute. I'm born and raised in Hawaii so I'm so proud of bruno and his talents!

I love classic rock,blues, and metal and have loved it since I was born. All I have to say is Bruno mars is an excellent talent and puts on a badass show.

0:40 thats rlly satisfying as a drummer XD

What made that solo great was the energy. Say what you will but he is a wonderful performer all the same

I saw Bruno several years ago. I enjoyed the show, live music and musicians just like concerts i attended in the 70's. It had that same feel

I dare anyone to perform those double stroke rolls in front of a massive crowd like that. Percussion and drumming takes a ridiculous amount of skill and precision. Anyone shitting on this has never sat behind a drum kit in their life.

Why is everyone talking about haters, when I don't even see one toxic comment😆

I remember watching this live and I was shocked that he was even able to keep time. I personally loved the solo and it completely changed my perception on the guy. He played it with great energy, enthusiasm, and he was fucking HITTING those drums instead of tapping them like so many “drummers” I’ve seen. I used to be filled with hatred against pop musicians when I first started playing (big punk/metal/jazz enthusiast) but later came to realize you need to have a mass amount of talent and musical understanding if you TRULY want to be a star and not just a one-hit wonder.

Wow chops were at a higher level than expected. Kick and hand patterns were nice. Whether he wrote it or not he executed it well, that takes a level of a kill. Just watched an interview of Andy P. Saying Bruno could play. This was a cool suggestion!

I remember watching this live and already being a Bruno Mars fan. It solidified my respect for him because he was just having fun. He's definitely one of my favorite pop artists

Can we just talk about the tuning.... the drums sound beautiful

One of the most overall talented performers I've ever seen. Sing, dance, play. And to think that he also writes his own stuff and writes a lot of stuff for others as well. So gifted!

this is one of the drum solos of all time

What a musician!! That beat drop at the end was great. Just great

Dudes got chops! - another impressed metal drummer 😂👌🏼

People complaining about his drum skills? I’d like to see them play their solos in Super Bowl with 100,000 watching live and another 100,000,000 watching on TV while on a moving platform. Just appreciate.

That's impressive. A mic'd drum really makes everything sound great Also his confidence man, man's what a great performance!!

The guy can roll drums, shred on guitar and pianos too.. And high pitch great voice too.. He can even dance.. He might not be world's best in any of the instruments, but combining all his talents together, he is a great showman.. In fact he is one of the best in the world in his generation today, because they don't come as talented as this anymore..

why yall so pressed about this. this guy has played more than 4 instruments and he played drums since like highschool

I’ve been drumming a long time and if anyone wants to talk smack the only one I saw playing drums on the 50 yd line was Bruno Mars. He’s there because he know what to play and when not because he’s the most technically proficient.

What a great talent. Can sing, can composed, can play any instrument. Huge respect for him ✊

As a drummer I think we all see some kind of fill, chop, tweak of a change that could be thrown in. No matter how good you are. That’s the beautiful thing about drumming. We all learn from each other and throw some new shit in as well.

I'm very fucking impressed. Those linear fills and even some 3 note groupings in there... Bruno is the man!

I love how everyone in the comments is a drummer and is more talented than Bruno.

Wow...had no idea he was such a beast on the kit, seriously impressed.

That energy is incredible!

his grooves and chops were legit. respect

I play the Drums a touch and I think this was Great....I believe I could hang with this kid in this aspect, but not his Singing or Dancing or sheer Entertainment.....My hat is off to you Bruno Mars.......I expected the worse when I heard he was doing the Halftime show..Then I saw it..Now I want him to do it again.....Truly talented Kid and I hope to see more of him.

Éste chaval se merece a todos y cada uno de sus fans. Sin ninguna duda.

I never knew that Bruno was an instrumentalist. There are so many talentless people out there. My hat is off to you sir. ❤

Wow.... This epic solo makes me admire him more and more

I know people will say that "its not that impressive" or "Ive seen better" but can we just appreciate how good it is

God knows how many instruments he plays I'm not surprised at all I've seen him play guitar, drums, piano, bass and congas 🤯🫥

Tried taking drum sessions, and I gotta say this shit is VERY hard, I’ve always been impressed by drummers and the fascinating work they do. His solo is amazing

He’s so talented! Love that guy!!

I'm a drummer myself, and like people say this is AWESOME to the untrained ear, but over all, a simple and not bad sounding solo.

I love that! is so beautiful! congratulations Bruno Mars! God bless you love!

Wow Bruno Mars is a great drummer!!🥁🥁🤘😃❤️

Bruh he literally plays every instruments in the band. 🤘🏼😆

Absolutely amazing. Might not be the most technical drumming but I loved every second of it

Props, this dude is a legit talent and musician - rare in mainstream today

This is how to funk!!! This video deserves more recognition! Totally good vibes ;)

nice drum solo..he is a good drummer..tempo,ghost note,dynamic..and he arrange his drum solo very perfect..match with the song..

what a performance! I don't even listen to him but it would've been electric to see that live

Yo when he started with the slow beat ngl I was boppin and those fills were tight as fuck, respect

So simple yet so amazing 👌

Finally a pop star who's actually a musician and truly loves music. The technique might not be the best, but you can clearly see he takes drums seriously.

Simple but really effective, spot on, and wellplayed

so talented! and trained! and pro! Bruno is awesome!

Great intro for one of Bruno’s best songs

Dope. Bruno is a dope musician.

0:17-0:24 he becomes a bird

For a singer pop guy, this dude plays great drums.

Can't say Im a fan of his music, but his musicianship is off the charts. When an "all-around" musician can kill it on the drums, you have yourself someone special

Fun fact. Bruno’s brother plays drums for him live.

There's No PRO drummers would hate this.. newbies would🤭

Bro the way he comes into the next song too is so cool

Entertaining, good energy, nice big sound, good arch to the solo.

Honestly one of the best superbowl halftime shows ever

He’s proficient in mainstream instruments. That’s perfectly fine. He’s a performer people, you’d be hard-pressed to find performers that are proficient in vocal range, rhythm guitar, and drumming on the side.

Bruno Mars is the quintessential male Pop artist of the 2000’s and up to 2015. I love him, he sings unlike any other male singer and is so unique as a person from what I can tell. He just seems like so,done that you would be grateful to hang around with.

Bruno Mars es un tipo increíble, aparte de cantar súper bien es alguien que sabe tocar muchisimos instrumentos, este tipo es increíble
