1:28 I call this.... the helicopter 1:57 the steven hawking 3:46 taking a bath

honestly it takes skill to play so wildly like that and still keep the beat.

This drummer not only plays the drums but also gives a show at the same time, so he has double merit... and all without dropping his drumsticks and not losing the rhythm of the song.

This feels like an SNL sketch with Chris Farley.

You can tell this guy doesn't care what band he's in. As long as he plays drums he's having the time of his life

The world is a better place with that drummer in it.

Been drumming all my life and the talent this guy has is nuts

Fun fact: He was featured on season 8 of The Office in the episode titled, “Pam’s Replacement” as the drummer in Robert California’s band

He heard there would be talent scouts.

And 9 months later that drum set gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

15 years later, he's still a total legend!

Overqualified drummers are my new favourite type of internet content

When you're drumming in the middle of a swarm of bees.

the crowd is too weak for that drummer.

That's the 1st time I seen a band with a lead drummer

Actually, I think the rest of the band is at the wrong gig.

they should have known what they were getting into once they saw the flames painted on this guys drum kit

Finally after 13 years , youtube recommended this vedio

He deserves an act by himself, not only was he producing a nice drum backing but also gave a mesmerizing performance

It's amazing that he is not overplaying and all the notes are completely appropriate.

I wanna learn how to do the octopus style of drumming.

he stayed solid as hell even thru all the antics..the groove was never sacrificed = true professional /entertainer/ drummer

1:27 Whenever he does that "washing machine" move, I always get such a "Chris Farley" vibe, lol. I love this.

This band got a lead drummer and supporting vocals and guitar

The only guy who can play drums and fight off ninjas at the same time.

What makes this guy a hero is that he never once, despite all his body pyrotechnics, loses the beat. He is the right drummer for any gig - solid and entertaining AF!

I appreciate the algorithm suddenly recommending this to me right before bed.

In my head, the guitarist and bassist have no idea what's going on behind them. They've been playing gigs together for ten years and haven't turned around once. All they know is that audiences LOSE THEY MINDS when they play this song.

That's too much talent for one barmitzvah.

If Chris Farley did an SNL skit about being a drummer

It’s been 13 years and this video still lives rent free in my head

It actually blows my mind that through all for this, he is able to stay in time and keep the volume and dynamics of the drum hits the same. Next level talent for sure.

I love how the camera person focuses on the drummer after about 15 seconds. they knew gold when they saw it

This drummer was born for metal.

All that movement and his timing are still on the spot.

Love when musicians put their heart and soul into it.

This dude is full beast mode.

“You can’t be the front man of the band if you sit in the back and never even sing” “Watch me”

I have a fever, and the only prescription is more drumming.

That man seems to play around the drum set but his sound is very tight and the rhythm is so steady. Funny and incredible.

This is like maxing out your character, then going back to replay level 1.

Dude looks like he learned the drums from watching Animal from The Muppets.

I remember watching this 10 years ago. Man, this still cracks me up

I really could see this as a "Chris Farley" skit on SNL!!!😂😂😂

This guy is literally playing the air drums with actual drums

Never knew I wondered what it'd look like to see someone playing drums while escaping a straitjacket until now.

You know....if that drummer was wearing a straitjacket when the gig started, he'd be out of it, folded, ironed and put away before the song ended.

When you're a lvl 90 solo player but had to party with your lvl 15 friends.

i gotta appreciate this man precision. not one mistake, never dropped a stick, didn't lose the beat. all while the mans doin p90x on a set

It's hard not to take your eyes off him, he's extremely entertaining and it's mindblowing how he keeps such good time while he's playing around. lol

The most impressive part is that he keeps perfect time during the entire duration of the song.

Jesus Christ, that's jason bourne

Easily the best drum entertainment Ive ever seen.

I feel like I always forget about this video and then after a couple of years I find it again and laugh my ass off and then forget about it again

Quite possibly the most famous drumming performance ever... if not it's only a question of time.

He's having a wail of a time enjoying himself to bits. Nothing wrong with that😁❤

Baffles me, even after 11 years this vid not only still circulates but gets new comments every hour….long live the flailing beating bongo legend

When you're doing a group project and only one person puts all the effort into it.

dude that drummer stole the show. at one point the camera just scrolls from guitarist to the maniacal drummer. i'm mean his hands were going behind his head and snaking around the dropping on the toms and symbols. what a guy.

Single greatest UKposts video of all time. Change my mind.

Tenacious D should instantly hire this guy to fight the devil

It takes a lot of skill to play this crazy and still hit the right things at the right time

I had to put it into .5 speed just to see what he was doing! I've been a drummer my whole life--watching this since the beginning, and I'm still so mesmerized by it 😂

You guys… this man is in the office. He’s the drummer that plays with Robert California when they take over the jam sesh with Kevin and the zits. I’ve watched that over the past 10 years and every time though “that guy reminds me so much of that drummer from that UKposts video” and it’s FREAKING HIM

He’s a beast. People don’t understand how hard it is to drum well AND have showmanship.

The only man that can drum and fight ninjas at the same time

I'd like to see his rendition of "Little Drummer Boy" at Christmas time

wrong gig, right drug.

The Guitarist and Bass: Beating level one for the first time. The Drummer: *Replaying the level after beating the game.*

pretty impressive he didnt lose his sticks the whole time

As a mediocre drummer it blows my mind how you can go from wrist movements to fully swinging your arms around like that without any change in timing whatsoever. Phenomenal, mate. Really entertaining.

I didn't know Chris Farley could play the drums

I think the drummers jacket is trying to kill him.

That drummer has alotta heart, he shoulda made the big leagues

I love this video, the guitarists playing it dead straight, knowing exactly what the drummer is doing and pretending they don’t have a clue

the drummer IS the band

when your frontman is not much of a showman, the drummer has to deliver.

This drummer understands that it's not just about playing, it's about performing for the crowd.

chris farley playing drummers

Seen it many times, but how he doesn't get tangled in his jacket, I still don't know to this day.

Cocaine is one hell of a drug.

Fuck yeah dude. He deserved every bit of that standing ovation he gave himself at the end.

Dude is just pure value for money...real entertainment. 👏👏👏

When asked "Why do you drum like that?" The drummer replied "I wanted you people to see EXACTLY what you look like when you air drum at the show."

2:58 he's trying to get away from a swarm of bees

I don't think people noticed, but Steve (the drummer) doesn't showboat while the guitarist plays the solo. Top musician etiquette.

Nobody looks at the drummer unless he makes it worth their while. This man got the memo.

This drummer isn't at the wrong gig. This drummer is the right drummer for every gig!

this gig is at the wrong drummer

video:over 11 years comments : 1hr ago

This never gets old..

I don't think I am out of line, but that BOY is having WAY TOO MUCH FUN love it !!!🙂

at the end of it he should have said, "this is a little bit ahead of your time . but you kids are going to love it!" then run off to his delorean

Ain't he that drummer from the Office episode when they play a gig in the warehouse with Robert California? 😂

Summoned Chris Farleys energy

And this is using only 0.1% of his power.

The drummer alone is worth any admission charge.....

That guy is fricking awesome.

The algorithm didn't send me here. I searched for this. Good to see many fresh comments to this day! LEGEND
