  • Funny how people are hating on Mike, when he's currently in a successful band, with thousands of fans, been on 2 tours in less than a year, & making an album. When all of you are sitting behind the computer screen on Youtube.

  • Youre awesomeee!

  • dude...get out of hollywood ending- you're eons better than that shit

  • he should hit those drums a little harder

  • Good drummer for sure...And let us not forget, he's young, and hasn't even hit his peak yet.... Instead of putting this kid down, let's encourage this young guy to be great...Ton's of potential, and he said in the video, that he love's pop, and rock...And thats what he played (and played it well)....

  • Looks like mommy and daddy have lots of money

  • @StickHits or some one is good at the drums

  • he shreds. end of story. stop hating.

  • dude your amazing

  • Im just gonna start over........ Yes, he's a good drummer, very solid as a lot of people have said... Keeps in time. All the shit good drummers do, besides dynamics, he seems to just bash the crap out of everything... but anyway. All that first comment was, was me telling that guy that the fill wasn't hard. And the rest was I know heap of drummers who were 14-17 who could what he did esialy.... Nothing to do with "you did a fill, you're now a legend of a drummer"

  • i think he's sick shit wish i could play like that

  • i bet the people who liked this video aren't even drummers...

  • And your dream cymbals

  • I just like the sound of your drums

  • i think your really good, i also play drums. ive only been playing for like, 6 months, so i am a beginner, but your really good

  • i can also do what you can..

    sorry but i think there's nothing very special in this video..

  • Oh I get it, the more exaggerated your movements are the better you are!

  • @Captain3005 if I had the resources and desire to make a professional promotional video, I would own this kid. Chops is not just beating the shit out of a drum, its having groove and feel and dynamic. I have a damper in my bass drum, its the microphone on my laptop that makes it sound like shit. Look up North of Autumn on google if u want to hear any of my recordings. or the album is on iTunes and Spotify. And dude who made this video. You got potential and good job for marketing yourself.

  • Good job....great video. Keep up the hard work and dont lose your drive. Major labels search these videos daily for talent. I suggest you put out a few more vids out there and label your vids under different tags so that more people views them...such as studio drumer, modern drumer, amazing drumer, drumer looking for gig.......Good luck and much success! ;)

  • u play and jazz or dreamtheater instead of trying to copy travis barker???

  • try tool songs...

  • yahh but again look at him hes having a blast while getting the beat right also he looks 100% dedicated to this dedication is hard to find in this world

  • i mean the fact that he can keep this in the pocket and add his own twist is more than enough to prove he has some talent. the fill me seem easy, but have you ever played it on the drums? it takes a lot of time to get it right. awesome job kid.

  • Why does everyone think playing a Paramore song makes you an incredible drummer?

  • sure its not extremly hard...but he didnt mess up once and its medium difficulty. im a drummer and i approve this message :)

  • I'd love to see a collab with this kid and Cobus.

  • when ur tryna make money !!!!!!!!! and do this professionally playing pocket keeping timing and MARKETING urself is what makes u known/famous i think vid was proffesional and he has haters all ready good job drummer ur own ur way

  • You are a good model for all filipinos your awesome

  • very good drummer, great showmanship, nice solid meter, quite impressive for 16

  • you are good like zac from paramore :)

  • I say keep playing and take all the criticism some may offer but doesnt mean they are right. I think you are good and should keep playing and go for it ,someone will notice

  • Why is everyone being a bitch? he has a good style, sure he isn't the best. But hes pretty damn good.

  • you're 16 and you have tattoo's? seems legit

  • @iliveinyourbins was thinking the same thing....

  • i don't understand what is up with people. you weren't just on tour AGAIN, were you? if you don't like the video, gtfo. seriously.

  • this is the shitest crap ever

  • Rock is very easy to play to me if you know your gospel chops. Most rock fills are very simple and are the exact same fill all over again. When you get to learn further then the ordinary of what everyone else does and sounds, you will be able to create your own fills of your own style in which you will realize how great it sounds and be amazed that you did it.

  • i searched for lil wayne & this came up o.O

    hes far from lil waynee!

  • i searched gayest drummer ever and this came up :)

  • i searched Robot Drumming and THIS is what i get... PFFT! youtube needs to get their shit together

  • @IsThis4Entertainment Yeah i searched best song ever and this shit came up i agree

  • @IsThis4Entertainment  Even better, I searched Danny Carey (TOOL Drummer) and this came up. HONKEY PLEASE.

  • @TheRevPlaysDrums

    what you're kinda failing to notice, is that you don't actually hear what the guy is playing. there are two possibilities; he's playing the exact same note quality as 3 different drummers, or he's just playing, and the song is slapped right over. This guy could have the worst quality or the best we've ever seen, but all we're seeing is his timing.

  • What everyone is failing to notice about this kid is that he's super tight and extremely solid

  • @TheRevPlaysDrums and spoiled.

  • I can't help but feel like I'm watching the Justin Bieber of drummers.

  • i mean you're good obviously but luke holland would hang this kid out to dry

  • I play 5/4 jazz at 200bpm for warmup. i'm not pretending i'm impressive either, but learn to play different time signature. And anything else than pop. And some fills that actually need practice. And while we're at it, *learn the instrument*.

  • can kick this kids ass in drumming anyday

  • clearly some rich mother fucker paying to have his shit put up here, paying for lessons and all the filming and bull shit. no 16 year old can afford this shit. guess your dad is a wanna be rock star or something

  • thats the best thing ive ever seen! ur a fucken monster! dont ever quit. i wish i was as good as you

    !

  • Salid. You lost me a Katy Perry though.

  • Nothin wrong with this dood's playin at all..I've been a drummer for 30 years..been on the road..rec.studios etc. I've worked with a LOT of professional musicians in my run..My point is you are very young and extremely talented..I was not this good when I was your age..lol. Your video also shows that you have Heart..that you really enjoy performing..Your chops are solid and your timing is spot on..My only advice is not to let shit don't go to your head as you progress,be real.Very well done Sir.

  • why are all these comments so rude? you all hurting him!....

  • Can you play anything not in 4/4?

  • Solid!

  • Comment removed

  • well he can hit hard... good for him, but still simple drumming. Check out my drumming videos.

  • @DrJro0 for starters. i watched ur vids. ur not bad. but ur not as good. you need better vedio quality. and for starters try shouvin a pillow in that base. holy shit!

  • Dude, I'm tired of these cheesy-ass drummers on Youtube. They're fucking hired by corporations to replace REAL people.

  • @themunoshful yea right ill fuckin whip ur candy ass illegal mexican.. go back 2 ur own country faggot u guys are like a virus spreading across the world especially america

  • Ralph Macchio the Drummer.

  • bad ass dude, once I get off probation, im gonna learn to play the drums

  • Great job kid... ignore all the haters! 4:35 is pretty amazing. Im sure you will find a band in no time.

  • He looks like he's getting a BJ most of the video...

  • I would prefer to sign that drummer kid from Britains got talent coz at least he has heart and soul you fake spoilt rich fuck.

  • Sorry, but you are NOT sixteen.

    You did NOT produce this video, a professional director did, trying to get you famous.

    You're a great drummer. But you're fake.

  • There should be a reaction for "Fuck You!"

  • I think the disney channel is looking for kids for kid pop groups.... just saying, tool.

  • garbage

  • How about you cover a song called Chamberlain by Coheed and Cambria , and maybe ill respect you . from what i see, your a half decent drummer .

  • looks like hes having fun

  • hes not even good, this drum cover is easy and its not even my type of music.

  • @rx7kevin12

    Hey buddy, lets see you do the fill at 2.13. Please stop being a hater, this 16 year old is better than a truck load of drummers 10 years older than him.

  • @timezoner the fill looks heaps easy, and im a guitarist... Im failing to see whats so special about him. I know heaps of drummers his age and younger that can do what he did. He's really nothing special. haters gonna hate.

  • @TheSticksAndBricks this is like he is so excited for his first cover on drums !! .. what a jerk man XP

  • @TheSticksAndBricks I believe what this amounts too, at least in my eyes, is that this kid is talented (I'll give him that) but he also has the money to put himself at the top of this list.

  • @TheSticksAndBricks yeah i think he's looking for Justin Beiber dom more than musical depth. This was more about the looks, than any real exceptional drumming.

  • Does it matter if he sucks at fills? And since your a guitarist you probably know nothing about drums because drums are not about fills.Fills just add spice to a song people like him because he's really solid in his playing (as in he does not lose beat or get off tempo) which is important as a drummer.

  • @DarkShadow482 never said he sucked at fills. I just said that the fill at whatever the time was he did looked easy, One could just say triplets and heal toe. And I am actually a drummer too..... probably why I don't see anything special. everyone just needs to take a massive fucking chill pill...

  • @TheSticksAndBricks I am chill it's just your comment basically summarized that "If you know how to do fills your a great drummer" and im just saying that's not what drums are all about. Nothing else

  • @TheSticksAndBricks punk drumming is watered down metal drumming lol

  • @timezoner im 14

  • @timezoner im 14, give me a double bass and ill do it.

  • @rx7kevin12

    A critique is all good, as long as constructive.

    This kid has a future. Yes there are better drummers, but this is great marketing and marketing is everything.

    We would love to see some of your videos.

  • You're going to break your freakin drums if you keep hitting them that hard...

  • the people who dislike this are just fuckin jelous... this dude has skillage!!

  • Why is this the first result for mike portnoy?????

  • Comment removed

  • Have you noticed that you make such an idiot of yourself-.-' all I see are sex faces. It looks like your having a damn orgasm when your drumming. Seriously bro, you gotta get a life :P

  • Kid, you're a fucking tool.

  • A shitty attitude!

  • How does this 16 year old have that massive tattoo?

  • The Justin Bieber of the drumming world.

  • pretty boy plays drums. ghay tune. Im sorry you had to play this :)

  • LOOKS LIKE REBECCA BLACK :O

    KILL. WITH. FIRE.

  • You're a solid drummer who can obviously put a lot of energy into the drums and keep time. I also love the fact you have such a fun time playing them...but can you compose your own parts? And do it creatively?

  • LOL there is totally better drummers than this shitdick!!! get the fuck off youtube like gothic deezzy

  • Excellent drummer for your age, I wish I could have played like that at 16. I really can't believe how many negative and abusive comments you got, your powerful and have excellent technique. I am sure that some decent musicians will pick you up if someone has not already. You tube as become more about no hoping idiots bravely making abusive comments from the safety of their home just because they can. Fantasic promo for yourself, be proud, your excellent, really. Good luck and dont stop.

  • very fast...great perfomance!

  • morro ( in spanish) dude in english....no words to say.... hope you a great success!!.... go for it...talent up to a 100%... keep on rock

  • damn, i wish i was rich.

  • i hope you enjoy paying for my view mabe i should hit refresh 80 times and make you broke.

  • There's a guy on the street with a few buckets and a cymbal to the right that has more wow factor.

  • I'm 15... and I could say I'm better... Well, I guess its cool how he gets seriously into it.

  • @JBoYeE22 im 12 and i could say i'm better! and i have a crap-rubber drum set! (and i don't look like i'm being raped while i play.)

  • yo thats nothingx there.. to be really considered a drummer, you have to do way better than that, thats like a warm up.. its really no that hard or w.e good shit not impressed yet buddy.. sorry lolz

  • nice lipstick.

  • i searched a drum cover for Six by All That Remains and i got this shit. fuck you youtube.

  • last part was great. and over exaggerating is all the rage.

  • omg man, you are UNREAL!!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION

  • Stay in NJ.

  • Is Justin Bieber your brother ?? :P

  • Comment removed

  • hey dude your not a great drummer who Cares about your age and where you from you've got nothing to show dude there are many more talented and better drummers out there than you. you showed us a great video not your mad skills if you even have one

  • GOOD THING all you haters look like fuck tards seeing as Mike is in a band that's on TV and the radio. What are you? Still playing in yours mommy and daddy's garage? Oh well good for you.  FUCK OFF.

  • @ADUBlovelove it's not about fame, it's about good music.

  • @milkandsugah Never said it wasn't homie. And his bands' music is great.

  • @ADUBlovelove I can tell by his influences that his band is probably just some other main stream sold out band that isn't any good. This video is a great example of high budget videos that make a musician seem better than they actually are. Well if you don't know shit about drumming than this is an example....

  • @ADUBlovelove My question to you is, do you even do anything productive? At least these "fuck tards" are working towards something. Stupid cunt.

  • @Syn94 LOLOL K :)

  • Love all the haters on here. this kid is the real deal. WHAT ARE YOU?

  • @amcflfan45 hahahaha search for travis orbin, the you would see the real deal

  • Hey, I'm Mike Montalbano. Check out my ridiculous facial expressions and over exaggerated movements.

  • Press 1 for the I love sixteenth notes face....

  • are those dream cymbals?

  • lol @ all of you guys still hating...kid's been in a band for a while now...just made their first music video and I've heard them on the radio. Plus also, he isn't gay, on account of the fact that he has had a steady girlfriend for a pretty long time. I've met this kid and he's extremely nice AND talented so fuck off.

  • People hate too much and care too much about other people's lives. You're better? Who gives a shit? It's the internet, what are you trying to prove to a bunch of people you likely will never meet?

  • this dude is your basic session/tour drummer, nothing special, but it's not like he's saying he's one of the best in the world or something geez guys. I could teach a child with a sense of rhythm some of these songs in an hour, but just because he has the means to promote himself doesn't mean he deserves all this (cough jealousy ridden) hate.

    Mike, the video was a little much, but you got the means to do what you want, so go for it.

  • really... drumming isnt that hard and u have to make an extra effort to make sound it special! This is gay...

  • @actuallyImjustbored Drumming is harder and more complex than you think but this guy's drumming is easy and not that good

  • nothing so special...before i clicked this video i was hoping for a lars ulrich or vinnie paul performance..got disappointed..

  • I love it when people say "i dont mean to hate" sorry but that means you do.. i am a drummer and i think i am good, but it doesnt matter how good or great you are it comes down to how much you love it, and this kid loves it... and he hits hard too so more props to you Mike. Check out my playing at my page also.

  • 9 Parts Attitude.

    1 Part Drumming.

  • This is why i dont cover PARAMORE.

  • It's such a shame to see such a tasteful kit go to such tasteless use...Not to hate, the kid can kick standard 4/4 beats it's just amazing to me to think what I could have done when I was 16 or now if my parents had money to throw to my drumming career like that. that kit should be in a skilled drummer's house, those beats would sound fine on a $300 kit like i was using until a year ago

  • im fuckin 13 and im better

  • totally gay..

  • hahahah hes proud of hes 1 pedal
