  • i swear he's the most under-rated drummer i've ever seen. only 28,000 views wtf :s

  • its...its...OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!

  • Anyone who thinks this video isn't sped up is an idiot.

    No doubt he's got serious chops and is a very good player but this is clearly sped up.

  • @PostOrganic ITS NOT SPED UP! he's really playing this. dont hate because you cant play like this. have a nice day. oh btw go practice

  • @TheLament666 Haha I'm not hating because he's better than me - that's not the point. Chris Daddy Dave's my favourite drummer and he's the tits. It's just blatantly obvious that peoples bodies don't move like this when they're drumming...or doing anything for that matter.

    I'm sure he'll let you go down on him if you ask politely though!

  • @PostOrganic watch videos of the WFD competitions....look at these guys guys hands...also watch the vid of punk n eddie heyward shedding at namm 2011 he's playing the same speed

  • @PostOrganic not at all dude...i know this kid and he really played this

  • This guy is excellent,a man with the speed and attack of Dennis Chambers good skill's Dude "keep her lit buck"

  • I went to high school with him. yes, this cat plays like this.

  • this cat Punky is bad!!

  • how does... his watch.............stay on?

  • Soultone- here is how you fix this- next time you do Whammy's video, put a grandfather clock behind him- debate over

  • Come on guy's, let's face it. . .he's shit!

  • do you sell those in Portugal?

  • @TheRokaz Yes, Check out grooveitup.pt

  • i can attest to this... he is amazing to see live.

  • hoooooooly crap! 0o

  • Man, this guy rips! Message to others: It's written up there quite clearly that this guy will perform at NAMM so if you don't believe he doesn't play like these go see him if you can. =))

  • Anyone else totally loving the fact that he's rocking an Always Sunny In Philly t-shirt?!

  • Beautiful drumming! Amazing and extraordinary drum sound!!

  • MrsStudivent, I will pass on your kind words. Keep on playin. : )

  • As for everybody else that turned a friendly debate into a dagum firestorm and took these comment so personal to the point where you used foul language and took personal shots at people over the internet, seriously, get a life and please practice yourself. Really this debate ain't that serious. There are a lot of nut cases i could single out for your immature comments but i have better things to do, like practicing!

  • Ok! Here it is! Punky, i sure hope you see this comment. And if that was his dad that commented on this page, send this message to him. He is an extraordinary drummer with speed and chops for days. As a matter of fact, for someone to say that this vid is sped up like myself at one point, it should be viewed as a compliment for how good he really is. I'm not a hater because i understand that perfect practice makes perfect. Keep up the good work punky!

  • The video is NOT SPED UP people... He sounds and looks alot like ronald bruner jr. when he plays. Lets get to practicing

  • First of all if you say its sped up you should watch the movement of the cymbals, notice they dont look "choppy" or sped up, you cant have part of the video in real time and the rest sped up. Also I dont believe he looks choppy, I think he looks meticulous. Its called precision, he's using the least amount of body movement possible to actually be that fast. Besides he's a Balfour, he'd never speed that shit up!

  • FANTASTIC VIDEO !!!! This comming from another Balfour !!!!! GOOD JOB !!!!!

  • You all are dumb. I play with this guy on a consistent basis. (you can check my vids) I am telling you personally this is not sped up and i have seen him from less than a foot away do all the things he does in this video. So to the people who are roasting it, grow up, get out of your mother basement and do something with your lives rather than hating on something that you can't do.

  • Look, let's all agree that this vid has been 'tampered' with and just let it lie.

  • Here's the deal, I'm Punky's Dad. The moment I found out that my wife was pregnant w/him, I started playing rudi's &,different type of grooves on her stomach EVERY SINGLE DAY. Drove her crazy but she endured it. He grew up listening to Hip/Hop, Jazz, Rock, Latin, so all that was n him as a infant.Not 2 mention he comes from a very musical family & his lil Bros. Aubre, Schuyler, Rene' r playin now. When U do somethin U love 4 so long u just get better, stronger & FASTER! So Trust me, It's HIM!

  • @staynbz Your that famous cat that had a shu..only1 & it was Blue.Punky is awesome like U. See, I don't just play guitar or twinkle like Bootsy's star...Can you guess who I "R"..... And for all of those that think this is tampered with, it's NOT...The boy is bad...He's just got it like that & I'm proud to say that the Whole family is superbad! Don't hate, congratulate! It inspires me to write,play guitar /bass,sing, & hit the skins/keys that much more. Punky is the MAN! Funk & Roll!

  • Nah boyyys.this is slowed down lol just kidding.it's normal speed.

  • People are idiots I took video production class for a year and counting Its NOT SPED UP. If it was. you would have seen his head and body gestures SPEED up aswell. which did not happen Mrs.Studivent you should actually study and not just say you did. I put the video into a copy file and imported it to a program that shows all editing that was done the video to allow you to undo or redo editing. and program shows the video was edited but as far as speed enhancing. NOTHIN WAS DONE 2 THE VID ITSELF

  • @jej495 LISTEN MAN, THE GUY FROM SOULTONE HIMSELF SAID IT WAS NOT SPED UP. IF ANYONE IS TO BE BELIEVED, IT'S THE GUYS THAT FILMED IT! ALL I SAID WAS THAT IT JUST SEEM LIKE IT WAS SPED UP. KEYWORD SEEM! FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE SAYING PRACTICE AND STOP HATING I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. THIS GUY IS PROBABLY FASTER THAN I WILL EVER BE. TI JUST SEEM LIKE IT WAS SPED UP. KEYWORD SEEM! NOW WATCH SOME OTHER WISE GUY COMMENT ABOUT THIS VID. PLEASE PEOPLE, THIS DEBATE IS OVER!!!! GEESHHHHH!!!!!

  • @jej495 Does HD have anything to do w/clarity on ones mind in relation to speed perception?

  • I don't think the point was about the speed... I've heard faster drummers either way. It's not impossible or anything but more about the way his body moves around the kit, it looks kinda robotic... but yeh definitely not sped up. The cymbals prove that by sustaining at a natural speed/flow

  • You must admit that his body moves weirdly... but I actually don't think you tampered with it because if you look at the cymbals that he hits, the rocking of them back and forth after the hits looks completely natural in line with gravity. Nicely done either way. V Impressed!

  • the video is weird... i don't think the speed is impossible but it does look choppy. Sound wise it's fine but his movements are a bit weird, like he's having a spaz attack

  • He looks like a mini Kobe bryant

  • IF it was sped up the big thing that would give it away would be seeing how the cycmbals rock back and forth on the stand. No matter how hard or fast you hit a cymbal is has a natural flow to the way it sustains.

  • I can tell u from shedding with punky.... this is not sped up!!! The kid is just fast #bigs2upunk

  • yo for real you r one of the illest and fastest drummer ive seen in my life keep doing what you do bro !!!!!!

  • what is this dude talking about punky's speed is sped up ..... Really? lol whoa, so then why would tht one part be sped up? smh u gotta be smokin some good stuff to not realize also what your hearing is really his real speed. C'mon man, YO PUNKY YOU A BEAST DUDE KEEP DOING YA THING. AND COMES FROM A PROFESSIONAL WHOSE HAS PLAYED WAY MORE THAN JUST BAR GIGS, I BEEN AROUND. HOLLA

  • is that a Flex Watch?!?

    

  • @mrdrumman100 the drummer is maybe very good in real life, but in this video even an unmusical man can see that the real framerate of the vid is changing sometimes. I comment this because it is unfair to the professionals towards. I am by far not a professional and I dont wont to be one ... if it is admitted that there is a film trick, then everything is ok and completely acceptable (sorry for my bad english but I hope you understand)

  • Punky will attend the NAMM show this year in Anaheim California, You're all welcome to our booth to see him live and check out the cymbals of course :)

  • fake! The Video is certainly speeded up! 02:06 - 02:10 you can see it clearly, like in the laurel and Hardy movies ;)...

  • @luke11986 dude hate to bust your friken bubble but punky is that fast and thats really how it looks when he does those speeds if you need your eyes checked its all good but dog stop hating. i've played with him and dude sorry his amazingness makes you jealous

  • Hes really fast

  • WHAT?!! Amazing!! That's real time speed, btw... If you want speed like that, Practice.

  • its not idk wtf u guys talking about

  • Body movements are anything but natural, ima leave it at that.

    Sped up or not it's still a good session.

  • Comment removed

  • its not sped up yall

  • He's great but why did they speed the film up? Oh shit! or did they?

  • @MrsStudivent I agree that it looks sped up. I'm not saying that his playing is, because yes, it's completely possible that he plays that fast, many people can. But I don't know if it's the way it was filmed or not, but the way he is moving certainly makes it look sped up.

  • @metlhead8503 Exactly what i was trying to say. Not taking away from him. Faster than i probably will ever be. Just that some parts really look sped up. Thats all i was saying.

  • and if you think its sped up.... look at the CYMBALS when he hit them... wouldn't they be swinging fast an wouldn't everything change pitch if it was sped up...??? Now go practice.

  • Smh... Its not sped up. How fast he is, he has to play like that in order to keep that speed... smh... Ignorant comments kill me. Like who has the time to really edit an speed up a video.... Seriously think about how DUMB you sound.

  • @aaronesmithsticks FIRST OFF I'M ENTITLED TO MY OPINION. IT'S JUST HOW IT LOOKS MAN. I DON'T THINK I SOUND DUMB AT ALL. AND FOR THE RECORD I ENJOY LISTENING TO YOUR PLAYING. DIDN'T TRY TO OFFEND YOU, JUST SAYING WHAT I SAW.

  • @MrsStudivent my comments weren't directed towards you. It was to anyone who thought it was sped up. If you felt offended by what i said. Im sorry.

  • @MrsStudivent I promise my comments weren't directed towards you hun. I was making a general statement... If you think it was to you or if you were offended by what i said... Im VERY Sorry. Thats why i didn't "reply" to anyone. Hope all is well and sorry for the misunderstanding... Thnk you for enjoying my vids. --Stix

  • @aaronesmithsticks HEY STIX, MAN YOU STILL COOL WITH ME. MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAVE THE GALL TO SAY SORRY OVER THE INTERNET. THAT ALONE MAKES YOU COOL WITH ME. BUT YOUR PLAYING IS FANTASTIC! DO YOU HAVE ANY TUTORIALS UP OR WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ANY BOOKS OR VIDS TO CHECK OUT. I'M REALLY TRYING TO IMPROVE AND GET BETTER. ANY TIPS? HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

  • @MrsStudivent hit me up on Facebook an ill inbox you. Ill help you out. I don't have any tutorials... but i have some pointers for you if you want help hun. Hit me up on Facebook "Aaron Stix Smith"

  • Umm that obviously isn't sped up, the reason why it looks "choppy" is cuz he's moving soo fast that his actions violent bursts of energy and his body is moving rigidly instead of smoothly...think about it. SOULTONES ROCK!!!!!!!!

  • Great.  Super fast. But i wouldn't hire him for my recording session.

  • Face it, it's sped up. You people won't admit it.

  • @mrdrumman100 yeah, it is on youtube. and you wont see some of these real quick jerky movements in no other vid except this one. like i said, he's probably faster than i will ever be, but SERIOUSLY, level with me, you can't some of these jerky, twitching movements that just seem unnatural. i bet when you saw him in person he wasn't jerking and twitching like he is in this video!

  • @MrsStudivent Lol maybe if you are so goddamned jealous about how fast this guy is then you should go and practice your chops instead of getting butthurt. Again, you are a dumbass.

  • @XxStrongDrums1996xX ON SECOND THOUGHT, YOU DO HAVE PRETTY FAST HANDS. MIND SHARING YOUR SECRET? I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID ABOUT YOUR PLAYING. YOUR PRETTY GOOD!

  • hahaha o man u gotta laugh at the dummies who think this is sped up....soultone said it correct, keep practicin...

  • study 0:15-0:19. that's blatantly sped up!

  • @54spatula no it's not :) keep practicing

  • @54spatula if you guys ever saw sammy "whammy" "punky" balfour you would say this looks slow- stop hatin just cause your ears cant keep up- lookin good whammy

  • @ryanbdenton I don't know who you're trying to kid, but this is completely unnatural for a torso of a human being to move this fast. Face it, the video is sped up and you can't accept it. You make me laugh.

  • @54spatula Come out to Palmdale Ca and look us up. I'll invite you to a shed at our house. So you can see for yourself. I'm on facebook/trebalfour bring ur video camera, post it and see people comment that you sped up your shoot. : )

  • @54spatula  study the movement of the rack as he's playing in that section. and the vibration of the surrounding cymbals. not sped up one bit.

  • Actually this is my lil bruh and the video has not been sped up at all! He is really that fast.....

  • YOU KNOW WHAT, I STUDIED THIS VIDEO AND HAVE SEEN MANY OF HIS VIDEOS. HE IS VERY FAST BUT ANY BODY CAN SEE THAT THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN OBVIOUSLY SPED UP. THE MOVEMENTS OF HIS BODY AND DRUMS ARE NOT NATURALLY. BUT HE'S VERY FAST THOUGH, ALOT FASTER THAN I'LL PROBABLY EVER WILL BE. NO HATING HERE BUT STILL A GREAT VIDEO!

  • @MrsStudivent Again, there is no reason for us to speed up or manipulate any of the videos we make.

  • @soultonecymbal01 IT'S JUST THAT IT LOOKS CHOPPY INSTEAD OF ACTUAL REAL TIME. I'VE SEEN JUST ABOUT MOST OF YOUR VIDEOS OF VERY FAST PLAYERS SUCH AS NICK SMITH AND NONE OF THEM HAVE THIS CHOPPY LOOK TO THEM. BUT HEY, I WASN'T THE ONE THAT FILMED IT AND YOU GUYS WOULD KNOW IT REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE SAYS! NEVERTHELESS, GREAT VID AND GREAT CYMBALS. MY GOOD FRIEND NAMED JOREL FLYNN IS ENDORSED BY YOU GUYS! AWESOME VIDS AND CYMBALS!

  • @MrsStudivent Thanks. that's punky's style of playing, I don't know what is your internet connection but it is not choppy at all.

  • @MrsStudivent hahha dude you need to check tony royster jr or even chambers

  • @MrsStudivent Lay off the caps lock dumbshit.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrsStudivent You sir, have left your Caps Lock on.

  • @AmitKanfi LMBO! I BELIEVE I DID! WAIT A MINUTE! what's going on! wow! it's off! wait a minute! IT'S BACK ON. AWWW MANNNNN! LMBO!

  • @MrsStudivent The drummer's speed is amazing. Actually, I've noticed the effect you describe in videos of Dennis Chambers, among other drummers...

  • @MrsStudivent I must confirm that this video is not in real motion speed...I have verified it with the cymbals sound and with the light reflect on the cymbals. It has been speeded up for sure!!!!

  • @COMODORMIDO If the video was sped up, the sound and the light are still in the same speed, so it doesnt mean anything.

  • @COMODORMIDO Amen!

  • @MrsStudivent You don't know what your talking about! I personally know Punky and he has been playing the drums since he was 2! Who are you to judge? Your probably not a drummer yourself and haven't seen up close and personal someone playing a drumset! BTW- my sons movements look the same while he's playing the drums as well! Maybe, because the same person taught them how to play!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Paddy's FTW

  • Toca Muitoo

  • This kat is sick!!!

  • NOW this cat is FAST!!!!

  • Heey I march with his younger brother @ LHS. Seeing just him, his father, and brother tells me that drumming really does run through the family!

  • this is normal speed guys i don't kno what you talking about..it hasn't been speeded up at all..he is just fast

  • @soultonecymbal01, indeed, point conceded you bring up a good point. @Nateytracks, If mine was ignorant, yours was just as ignorant. However, I didn't mean to come off as ignorant, this guy is a great drummer. @chernamin, your comment is just laughable. I've been watching those guys before this punky was born.

  • @2:42 the X-hat (top) turns into inverted X-hat (top)

    its like an ozone crash from sabian or K - efx from zildjian

    ^^,

  • The video and audio are sped up to make it seem faster. This guy is quick, but not as quick as he seems. Watch the cymbals when he's doing his fast rolls and paradiddle stuff. No one moves the weird with out being sped up.

  • @zgames88 Believe it or not, this video does not have any manipulation of any kind. What you see is Punky plays the drums. He is that fast. When you speed up video the audio won't match, if you speed the audio as well, it will sound faster and not real.

  • @zgames88 WRONG! I hate seeing ignorant comments like yours. Even if you are just a troll.

  • @zgames88 don't watch any of tony royster jr or ronald bruner jr or dennis chamber solos. you aren't ready yet. I remember the first time I was introduced to real drummers.

  • @zgames88 This cat is actually that fast. I've seen him play multiple times, and he's extremely fast, and clean.

  • Lol Sammy rocks!! He's always been crazy good on drums I went to highschool wit him

  • If he's really that stiff, I don't he could pull of these speeds...

  • he's really stiff. hopefully he'll correct that( or risk injury)

  • SICK!!!!!! just sick.. this video made me go buy Soultone cymbals

  • And thats how you play the drums....thanks for watching.

  • So sick man!!

  • I'm gonna go practice rolls now.. @__@

  • he tony royster fast

  • @1bass Heck Ya!!!!!! Stupid fast!lol

    

  • Wicked solo Punky!!

  • Please can somebody tell me how he can keep the rhythm and now which bar he is at ? Does he count ? is he just "feel" it ?

  • PunKy is back :)

  • WHO IS THIS??? HE's incredibly quick!!!

  • great drummer & great cymbals!

  • Dude is like Kobe Bryant on drums
