Mike Thorne broken wrist drum solo

[HidoriTsunadre]

His one arm is pretty fast but I'm not going to lie, 90% was just the obvious double kick, just he because he is using 3 out of 4 of his limbs doesn't make this hugely impressive, and it did lose a lot of it depth from one arm, still either way you can tell he is an amazing drummer.

[jbzones08]

holy shit you're a awesome drummer

[aaronskates17]

wooow man, your siick at this !!!

[MattBeckstrom]

Def Leppard!

[rustifer1]

Wow!! Ok that was a real eye opener. Your a really great drummer. I hope you get famous cause you've obviously practiced your ass off. I hope your arm heals ok. Not only are you a great drummer but you went outta your way to help that girl. Dude. You've got a big heart and a great talent of drumming. Best to you bro. Stay cool.

[bubbie524828]

Hey don't you play for Def Leppard?

[Medivac12]

this was totally beast... awesome job

[pluchinostra]

@dayjoborchestra

single pedal??

[dayjoborchestra]

@pluchinostra no...it has a girlfriend :)

[fubwat]

How late were you?

If you'd have made this vid in 1983 you could have saved Ricky Allen (Def Leppard) a fortune on electronics after he lost his arm by using what you did, talent.

BTW, Please don't take this admiration of your one-handed drumming virtuosity as a legitimate reason to chop off your other arm.

[keetonbob]

Fuck a fruit basket!!

@keetonbob have a shit. find a weapon

@dayjoborchestra seriously? 

[dayjoborchestra]

@NEONPENGUIN516 Yes! If I was faking it, do ya think I'd drop a stick? You can hear it hit the mic

[NEONPENGUIN516]

Not real. Soooooooooooo not real!!!!!! 

[dayjoborchestra]

@NEONPENGUIN516

It is 100% real

[Trixter943]

@dayjoborchestra he has a twin pedal, and he does a run on the other drums(theory)?

[CafeDkP13]

fuck off man hahaha thats drumming adicction i

[TheGreatUndefeatable]

More intensely awesome music by an intensely awesome person! Most people can't kick it that well with two hands! If YouTube still had star ratings, I'd give this a five.

[DrumRemixRequest]

Dude look at my video... I dropped my stick too ahahah :) ( I broke my wrist too)

[phatbirdy3689]

Dat was awesome, even though that was with one hand! i wonder how badass you are with both hahaha

[kapwar28]

Hi mike! I'm new to the drums but im trying to play like you. however my lags get wicked fatigued when using the kick pedals. like within the first minute or so. should I keep practicing or is their some trick to it?

[sickstix182]

@kapwar28 keep practicing man youll build up the muscle eventually

[AntiJonasZone]

@kapwar28

It's hard, keep practicing and you'll have the energy to do it eventually!

[Squinal]

Niiice! Your hands are going to be so unbalanced though, once you recover.

[080594M127]

Wow you are great. Sorry about the broken wrist. I never broke my wrist I have broken my tibia though but it was clean. I hope you have made a 100% recovery and using both hands still excellent video.

[ndeplume08]

Holy crap! That is seriously amazing.

[darxcyber]

now thats a skill to play with one hand after sufering wankers cramp lol

[Jazzman356]

mike thorne is sick i love those beats and fills with just one hand!!!!! its insane

[JackParsonac]

At first I thought maybe it was edited but then I realised that you're just that good. I love DJO keep up the good work.

[marblemocha]

Dude, you're a beast. Better player with one arm than I am with two! Love it. :)

[marblemocha]

Dude, you're a beast. Better player with one arm than I am with two! Love it. :)

[nubofdeath]

Once your hand heals, how can you go back to being a two handed drummer? May I suggest using your extra hand for nun-chucks or painting a portrait while playing?

[karatefox]

Outstanding, man. Get well soon.

[mp2611]

kickass!

[watson111111]

be my hero?

[Omnicron4735]

Holy apple juice..

You are one serious musician! Dedicated.

(Did I her a little fish beat in there somewhere?)

[tehBac6n]

can't wait till you break a leg :P

seriously that's awesome

[1ServantofThor1]

dude, this is just too cool

[tsirosgoddammit]

1:45. DUCT TAPE! :D

also, did you learn anything new while forced to play one-handed? ever since i amputated my middle and ring finger i can tap with my pinky... (guitar)

[OneMinuteGalactica]

Grooving with one hand. That just sounds wrong somehow.

[grazzer88]

I can barely see 2 out of 3 drum hits :O Maybe that's the vid quality, or the double kicks mixing in there between them, but that's still some excellent drum playing. Especially for 1 hand.

[MightyTrebor]

Despite him dropping his stick this was very amazing!

[DVFDrinkOrDie]

Go Rick Allen! Ummm... I mean Mike Thorne

[Alpinex105]

wow in Milton!! yeah for T.O!

[LivingDog94]

The man's a pro... and I mean it. [i]Absolutely awesome drumming[/i] with one hand. I use to "play" drums and if I saw this back then I would have quit.

[thetotaljim]

Even with 1 arm, you can still play the drums like 2 jackrabbits fucking.

[gaura]

That's good!

[TastyBusiness]

DJO rules! One hand drummer for the win!

[Phinesse]

I fractured my scaphoid in february, had to have surgery, now have a titanium screw in my scaphoid for life! make sure you stick to your physio mike! It's worth it. I'm still stiff to this day and it sucks ass! hope you heal well! Do you know if you're having surgery?

[dayjoborchestra]

@Phinesse This was years ago, and there was no surgery. It's better than ever now, thanks!

[TrueCourse]

@dayjoborchestra Great to hear that. One thing's missing though... where's the apple juice? :)

[dayjoborchestra]

@TrueCourse read the Tags....

[Lutris]

Someone's a badass.

[RobTFirefly]

I could have a dozen hands and still I couldn't drum as well as this guy can with just the one.

[BuffGamer]

Michael Thorne one handed is still better than most professional drummers with 2 or more hands.

[guitboy63]

@BuffGamer Mike Thorne is a freak of nature! When he showed up to the Ozzy tribute gig with one arm in a cast, I thought it was a practical joke. Of course, it wasn't, and he played every song on our set list. You could hardly tell he was playing one-handed. Two-handed, he's a fuckin' monster.

[dayjoborchestra]

@guitboy63 awwww....thanks Mike! Yer pretty freakin kick-ass yourself!

[InfiniteWhizBang]

Zoinks.



[stevengregor]

I was waiting for you to screw up and punch through the snare with your cast....

[Truburgh]

DEF LEPPARD!

[suppelars]

Oh man! Amazing playing!

[uglysalmon]

i cant do that with 2 hands!

[Metalix01]

Dude that awesome!, hope your arm gets better soon

[adriank1223]

shuhweet!

[wishmasters666]

cool !!!!

[mstrchldrn]

i own cars. come get a free car. its a free fuckin car. i own them.

[spacecowboy5000]

Did the instinct to use your left hand ever take effect?

[SecularResponse]

Thanks for the nod at the beginning! Well met!

[Theonlydump]

When I broke mine, I stuck the stick in the cast. Not very good for bounce strikes... Are you also a southpaw Mike? From what I understand, most hand/wrist injuries happen to the dominant hand, as was the case for mine... Btw, you still pound me under the table with one hand...

[Acathla069]

Wow

[z0diak1990]

Are you guys going to play a gig soon?

I must watch.

[kilvertm]

How tall was the stage they fell off?

[dayjoborchestra]

@kilvertm about four and a half feet

[yoma6565]

pretty sick playing =]

[Displaysac90]

heal up brotha. sounding good.

[ModularForms]

ONE HAND SOLO OF THE PICARD SONG !

[GordonMorrice]

Alternate your jack-off hands. Even for married men.

This advertisment was brought to you by AAAAAAAPLE JOOOOOOOSE!

Go Mike! Live long... and prosper.

[cmk7]

Awesome, dude!

You really know out to bang those skins!

[waitingfor2008]

Way to adapt. I'm ashamed to admit I lol'd pretty hardcore when you lost the drumstick. :P Anyway, I'm glad to hear your wrist is better.

[mimapo]

Sounds better than me with 3 hands!

[PardonMyZinger]

That's some off the hook, illegal apple juice moonshine shizzle right there! Big props and get well soon from all of us in the UK ( yes I represent the whole nation, we took a vote and everything!)

[drewx123]

Which episode of star trek is this? :)

[TheGzeus]

Wow.

You could gig one-handed, theoretically. Not a good way to prevent RSI, but yeah.

[cory2146]

wow amazing story.

[ridjf]

I disnt wanna see a guy "groving" with his hand! D=>

[Jackthemeat]

1:45 lol

[mysticdragon75]

And who said chivalry is dead? I wish we had more guys like you on this earth!!! Glad that you found a way to keep playing too. SOUNDS AWESOME!!!! I hope you heal quickly!!!

[QueenNyx]

I can't keep the beat with a metronome. You, my good sir, are teh awsumz.

[marcusaureliooze]

You voluntarily hurt your own limb by cushioning a damsel in distress?

You, sir, are a knight.

[gzussturbo]

sweet! That's better than I can do with two arms!

[ThaRockShaka]

vicious!

[CAPTAlNSTEWPID]

[nilewow]

Nice, this flows just like that sweet apple juice.

layin down that apple juice

[kranktank]

bad ass man

[3sleeves]

After about 2:30 is my favorite part...you've got some serious chops man!

[sirweeze]

You should send this to Def Leppard as an audition tape

[GregorioXII]

This is why I can't watch other people play drums. I get so jealous.

[ant1p0p]

thats pretty BA

[artvandelay13]

Apple juice.

[Black24Thought]

who do you have to blow to get some GODDAMN FUCKING wallpaper????

[MagikGimp]

What does he even need that other hand for? No don't answer that...

[pandarsson]

@MagikGimp He's obviously ambisexual.

[twinkietrail]

The Thunder God would be proud

[eyedam]

@twinkietrail Thor?

[mastermanio2]

@twinkietrail I'd think Mike Thorne would be in Amon Amarth if that were the case ^^

[Icachowda]

How'd you break your hand/wrist?

[pandarsson]

@Icachowda Does he really need to answer that?

[Icachowda]

@pandarsson

no but the curiosity overwhelms me

[pandarsson]

@Icachowda I'm guessing repetitive stress injury from "practicing". Ahem.

[Icachowda]

@pandarsson

Too much rocking out

[dayjoborchestra]

@Icachowda I added a "what happened" in the description!

[Icachowda]

@dayjoborchestra

great story! hope your recovery is smooth and fast!

[dayjoborchestra]

@Icachowda this is at least couple years old...I just couldn't believe I didn't upload it to Youtube; it's been on Myspace for awhile. Recovery took ten weeks.

[EyeOnTheTV]

You should now be perfectly adept to play def leppard songs.

[strikeman1]

@EyeOnTheTV You beat me to the punch... no pun intended.
