  • drummer and former light heavyweight champion

  • You are the greatest

  • Scott, bro.... you are the best fucking drummer I have fucking seen. I am impressed with your speed, technique, and accuracy. Your one-handed tom rolls are incredible. I must say, I have never heard a drummer quite as good as you. You could come and help me start a band any day of the week.

  • Dio Lives On

  • I play drums, so I first came upon this video hoping to learn a thing or two about this song (one of my favorites) by watching it in person.

    ...Holy shit, this is like trying to learn how to drive a car from watching an astronaut pilot the Space Shuttle. The more I watch 3:37 to 3:40, the more I'm convinced it's not possible to do what he's doing.

  • MachineGunSmith the holy drummer

  • So loose and so powerful. This guy is just one of the most awesome metal drummers and my example for my drumming :)

    Rock on!

  • 1 word......... AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!

  • EPIC headbanging

  • very cool, im learning this song off your vid XD

  • Damn ....kick ass

  • youre good:)

  • 36 deaf dumbass

  • RIP Dio. Also, FUCK the 36 idiots that disliked this.

    Horns up, man!!!!

  • DIO" YEAH BRO" NICE JOB SMITH!!!

  • You kick serious ass!

  • This is some good stuff. I ran across you when I was looking for some queensryche videos and was thinking to myself I bet this guy is a hack, Boy was I wrong. My three favorite Drummers are Neil Peart, Scott Rockenfeld and Cozy Powell, And you covered 2, Now do some Cozy.

  • Your 2 good And DIO dabest rock band ever

  • Holy Drummer!!

  • THIS GUY IS AMAZING!!!!!!

  • Holy damn dude:D Awesome! Gimmie your drums!

  • TOCAS MUY BIEN

  • R.I.P King Dio.

  • Behold Thy DrumLord!!!

  • Killswitch has the best version, IMO.

  • You aren't human...

  • Surely if DIO heard this he'd be headbanging and Singing along up in Heaven or wherever he is! ROCK ON, great peformance for this rendition

  • Amazing...thanks and RIP Ronnie!!!!!!!1

  • A great way to honour DIO!

  • A great way to honour DIO.

  • damn.

  • R.I.P RJD

    Hell Yeah for the sick drums...

    Thank you: Georgus Dogge

  • simple yet amazing!!

  • OMG! your are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • omg this is INSANE!

  • GREAT!!!

  • nice electric drum how much did it cost

  • R.I.P Dio, 

  • ronnie would love it bro good shit

  • by far the best I cover I could find of Holy Diver. I was looking for someone actually playing the drums just like the original. The drums on the original recording have a special feel/soul to it, that's missing in a lot of these cover videos. But yours was the closest.

  • Forever in our hearts =(  R.I.P lml,

  • Machinegun that was awesome. I would like to see you drum archiles last stand by zeppelin. I know you do more of the heavy metal, but I'm sure bonham influenced you to some degree. thanks and I will be looking for it. chow

  • I have to disagree with the killswitch version in some way being a better version to play. The version that gun plays accents the hat and the dblbass and the fills are just sick. Kill switch may add their own twist....but my vote is on gun's drummin. Good job as usual.

  • i dont even listen to metal this old usually but i love this song, and this guys drumming on all his vids are fukn beast

  • What Kind Of Cymbals?

  • You easely can be playig in these bands that you listen to!!!!

  • isnt this Killswitch?

  • good shit

  • Nice Job dude

  • i dont even play drums but this guy makes me want to lol

  • If i ever become a drummer in a famous band im citing Lars Ulrich, Vinnie Paul, Bill Ward, Carter Beauford, and MachineGun Smith as my influences.

  • @Ramtough93 Lars Ulrich??

  • @Ramtough93 i would add dave lombardo and alex van halen lol

  • @Ramtough93 Puh-lease! Any list like that that doesn't include Neil Peart is not really a list at all? LOL

  • @Ramtough93 machinegunsmith>lars ulrich. fo sho
