  • Travis Barker isnt even good enough to wipe this guys ass...

  • Could I ask what hand position snare drummers find better? I dont know the hand position names but is Jim's left or right hand position better?

  • wtf, at 1:15 the guys hands aint movin....superb

    

  • @maevealiciousawesome kilpatrick would violate niel peart...all top elite scottish side drummers would...stop dreaming. You and all your kit drumming fan club can say what you want...but scottish snare drumming is the most technical and with the most musicality on the planet - period. It is just that kit drumming has a million times bigger following, that's all.

  • @Roddo08 I agree that Pipe band drumming is the most musical on the planet (I'm a pipe band drummer myself) but to say it's the most technical is bullshit, it's just another style in the rudimental drumming family. I have learnt more from the many American rudimental styles in a few years then I did for 8 years with pipe band drumming, but it doesn't mean either style is better. Alex Durthart always said drummers should learn from each other, internet slating of drumming styles is for wankers.

  • @Capacity2005 Well, that's nice...but don't misquote...I never slated any other drumming style, just individuals on this site who talk shit. I have done plenty of drumming myself and whilst I appreciate all drumming. I stick to what I say as being true that pipe band drumming is the most technical, hands down. There ain't an argument out there that could ever change my wind on that..

  • Whats with the whole comparison of travis barker and jim kilpatrick???

    WHY NOT JUST ADMIT THEY ARE BOTH BRILLIANT AND DO DIFFERENT STYLES :P

  • @SilentMutinyDundee you ought to be ashamed of yourself for calling barker brilliant. he is not, and kilpatrick by far the superior drummer

  • @dj3ntz i am saying they are different styles and it is impossible to compare in their various types of drumming they are briliant which is undeniable! They are different styles thus kilpatrick may be a superior drummer in ability but barker is still a brilliant kit drummer and arguably the best kit drummer on the planet.

  • @SilentMutinyDundee barker doesn't even come close to the best kit player on the planet. god, he's so far down the list I can't even imagine it! explain to me why you think he is the best kit drummer... I honestly cannot fathom why you are saying this...

  • @dj3ntz He is the best because he doesnt play like many other drummers to show off he plays in a way to compliment the music. And albeit it can be simple compared to other drummers what he does compliments the music brilliantly.

    Its the exact same principle that comes to side drumming. Jim Kilpatrick is amazing here yes. BUT the thing that makes him arguably the best side drummer ever isn't that. But his ability to compliment the music to an incredible standard.

  • @SilentMutinyDundee ...My mouth almost hit the floor after I read this...I dont care if you Love Travis, and he is your BIGGEST influence (which is fine w/me)................but to say argueably the best drumset drummer ever?..........here's my arguement; Bissonette, S.Phillips, R. Morgenstein, Weckl, Colaiuta, S.Smith, Jojo, Gavin, T. Sucherman, Peart, Mangini, Castronovo, Lang, Minnemann, Alex V.H., Keith Carlock, Donati........and so on IMO blow Travis out of the water....check em out!!

  • amazing jim

  • WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH sticks looked like a humming birds wings s

  • 2:13 - 2:18 is probly the best part

  • FANTASTIC!!! I PLAY A SIDE DRUM, WISH I COULD PLAY LIKE THIS BLOKE!! MR KILPATRICK YOUR LEGEND!!

  • who speeded this up?...o wait,its real time...lol

    UNREAL :D !!

  • Can you reuploaded now in normal speed?

  • @ballerpds LOL

  • with a bit more practise you could be good

  • ...btw, who's travis barker? (kidding)

    he's a talented guy, but seriously--for snare drum technique/sticking technique, JK is brain-meltingly good. If you can't see that, then you probably can't/don't play drums (probably). if you did, you'd recognize and appreciate what you're seeing mr. kilpatrick demonstrate here.

  • perfection...!

    ha--6 ppl didn't like. probably tried the drums and found out that they can't be good at it without practice. now they hate drums and everybody who has the discipline to get any good at it.

  • travis barker hit thumbs down 7 times

  • I think I'm gunna go get my sticks and pad now.....

  • amazinnn just amazinnn ats wut u call drumming !!!! on yerselfffff yeoooooo !!!

  • SUPERB MAN 100% SKILL

  • :D with drummin skills like that @ ~2:20 he can sit back an play while drinkin his favorite lager an never miss a beat

  • I've been on tour with Jim Kilpatrick before. He is a phenominal player. Cru4you, before you judge him and his playing ability, go see him perform live. I've watched your individuals solo that you have on your page, and you're a good snare drummer. But before you flippantly write Kilpatrick off as "really not THAT good", you need to see him live. It will probably humble you just a bit.

  • I really dont know why Travis Barker is even mentioned in these posts.

    He's an FFFing metal drummer whose done a bit of drum core..

    Jim Kilpatrick is the Perfection of the snare drum.....nothing else to talk about

  • Yeah.. He does do with one hand what Travis Barker can do.. Including Flams!!

  • Jim kilpatrick is amazing. I really want to start learning all the techniques for pipe band style drumming. I know that basically everything is swung, technique is different from drum corp style here in America and that there are more singles. Anyone else have anything they could share?

  • cru4you obviously hasnt got a clue about drumming or hes just trying to get a rise out of people, sad really lol as for this video jim sure shows us why hes the greatest snare drummer of all time, a real champion!!! the phil taylor of the drumming world haha

  • he's not that good...

  • are you fucking mentally retarded ...

  • nah, i've just seen a lot of great drummers in my life, i guess unlike you

  • @cru4you .... haha , you must be deaf AND blind ...look at those singles at 1:20 ...unbelievable control

  • those singles werent THAT fast,,, and not very even either.

    but you guys are right i am a deaf blind person that hasn't a clue about drumming!

  • Hmmm... cru4you, please share with us who you believe is a better side drummer than Jim Kilpatrick? Since you haven't posted your resume, we can only assume that you do indeed have "no clue about drumming" based upon your asinine remarks.

  • @sw1ngkat , define what you mean by "side"? do you mean snare? I know many better rudiment bassed snare drummers. Casey Brohard, Nate McLaren, Dave Oriente, Austin Jabaut, Mike Peacheyto name a very few. (Had a bigger list but it exceeded the 500 characters allowed) I have marched 5 going on 6 years of Drum Corps in America and have won 3 Drum Corps Associates Individual and Ensemble World Championships.

    I'm NOT saying I'm the shit or anything, I'm just saying that he really isn't THATgood.

  • @cru4you lol hes won 18 solo championships and your sayin hes not that good hrmmm something wrong with that

  • That just blew my mind. And...Jim is way better than Travis Barker. Travis is good, no doubt, but he has nothing on Jim.

  • travis is shit compare to jim

  • I just watched a Travis Barker video....... He is not even in the same area code as Jim Kilpatrick, let alone ball park or league. Jim Kilpatrick does with one hand what Travis Barker can't do with two.

  • fail!

  • I would respect your opinion...... however, you cannot spell, and must resport to personal insults because you realize how inferior Travis Barker really is.

  • rod is so right.....this guy is a master at a craft that travis hasnt even become begginer level at...

  • Travis Barker would look sooooo silly up against top level elite pipe band drummers like this guy...its an embrassment to even mention Travis in the same sentence.

  • First, that's not a pad. It's a snare drum. Second, he's playing single strokes. Third, he won the World Open Solo Championships many times. Travis Barker can't even hold a candle to Mr. Kilpatrick.

  • travis is nothing compared to Jim....Jim far superior...jealousy is a curse bitch...most kit drumming is just rubba dub dub shit compared to top level side drumming....yawn....it really must bother you to know how superior Jim is to all your heros...lol - piss off!!!

  • travisBruulz if you are talking about the solo i think you are that tattooed idiot you call a drummer is playing doubles jim is playing single and still going faster than him

  • jim kilpatrick beats everyone for speed an technique so dont even try to argue that any1 else is better jim.... end of story

  • I know it's asking a lot, but I swear to God I want to sit back, relax, and watch some awesome drumming on youtube without some virgin Travis Barker fanboy saying something stupid.

    Travis Barker shouldn't even be allowed to watch drumming like this.

    End of story.

  • @davedc73 Sorry i voted you down but i really meant up. . .Like times 1000!!!!!!!! lol

  • What make's you think that Travis barker

    Darth kazi im talking to

    Is better Than JIM KILPATRICK?

    Theres Kinda big differance Coz he beta than Travis

    I look at his vid and said Jim Better

    He sent me and Mail on youtube to say thatt i am the man to think that

    even he admits it

  • their is a snair solo where travis barker is at leest 2 x as fast as this fucking dude i cant see the stikc in barkers hands i can almost read the fucking label with this old dude

  • jim is so much better than travis and im a big fan of both.

    travis is a good kit player but not on side drum.

    jim is a great player on side and wouldnt put it past him on kit.

  • This old dude won the World Open Solo Championships many times over. Be sure to get back with us when Travis Barker does something like that. Dumbass. You have no idea what you're talking about.

  • I play kit and pipe band drumming and you can't say that pipe band drumming is harder or the other way about but Jim Kilpatrick is a very talented player

  • u should go on that show time warp!!!

  • oh noo blink2barker you are so wrong

    compared to jim travis would be a janitor

  • travis barker would own this guy on set 4 sure dumbass check out his snair solo as well it is probly faster then this guys

  • if your talking about playing with a drum kit, then yes i am sure travis is better

    but in this situation with one drum, Jim has to much technique and ability for travis. if you don;t play pipe band style drumming then its hard for you to comment. I play both so i can understand the difficulties and inctrickeses of both instruments.

  • you're kidding right? i love how pretty much every person who thinks travis barker is the best drummer ever knows jack shit about drumming....is travis good? yes.  is he better than this? you're a retard if you think so

  • This guy shits all over barker concerning one drum. Heck, considering how much TB sucks on the actual kit, I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Kilpatrick actually plays the kit better than Travis. You really have no idea how much Travis sucks do you?

  • I just talked to Travis.

    He's coming over to your house to beat your ass for being so stupid.

  • HA. Oh my gosh, you are the biiggest fag fanboy ever. Travis sucks enough at set, all right? He could never jump into corp stuff this. Throw yourself into a moving car.

  • Fuck me runnin' that's awesome!

  • That is so fast...

  • jesus christ. i will never play again

  • i believe its more like 20 solo titles now not 100% sure :P and your right he rolled his paradiddles i mean wtf i didnt think that was humanly possible

  • buddy rich was another one that could "roll paradidles". Look for his 1970 video and watch his rudiments FLY THROUGH THE ROUGH. Besides his backsticking, Buddy could keep up with him. Both have a blessed pair of hands.

  • hes using siganture kp2's

  • cheers for clearing that up just looked a little thin to be kp2s to me but ive started using eric wards so design might have changed since i last got a set

  • wat kind of sticks is he using? it looks like he is using 5a?

  • theyll be premier somthin or vic firth somethin dependin on when this was think it might be kp1s actually

  • fastest fingers I've ever seen.

  • hes using chopsticks with tiny balls on the end, dont be fooled.

  • I wouldn't care if he was using toilet paper rolls. This guy's one-handed "mummy daddy" roll exercise off the hook.

  • Comment removed

  • yes, and he also has little cables coming out of his sticks which he connects to his brain so he has godlike powers and becomes insanely fast with his fingers..

  • Guy is a straight up BEAST!

    Any one who wants to criticize him and his talents just shut your mouth and respect him until you can post a video that's any better of yourself.

    And anyone who says this solo isn't musical,IT'S A SOLO,this man can do whatever he wants,and that's that.

  • aye you just cant criticise this guy hes proved he is that good hes got countless solo titles to his name hes the prodigy of the legend that is alex duthart and as got countless corps titles to his name too

  • why did you reply this to Me? lol I was saying that he IS good.....

  • i was agreeing with you :-)

  • it just looks like he's using 5a's

  • Come To The States!

  • This guy is a machine

  • 2:20 Great indeed!

  • This is just ridiculous! This guy is amazing!

  • Looks like the sticks have a mind of their own at times! Brilliant.

  • that's one of the points you do nothing your sticks do all the work

  • Errrr?!?! I know, but rather than come across like a know it all, I thought I'd say it in another way. having said that, the amount of hard, work Mr Fitz had to do, the sticks didn't do the practice for him, is more than admirable.

  • WOW !!!! Lost for words right now !!!

  • el mejor!!!! lejos... tremendo

  • Simply superb!! I wish i`d never given it up but girls had a stronger hold over me as i got older.

  • This dude might just have Jeff queen!!!

  • That single stroke shyt was tight as hell i aint gonna lie

  • he is the best of the world he is a very good drummer

  • well fuck me well said proddy boy this guy is a god no one can pick fault with him who the fuck are you jazz yeee haaa up the uvf

  • In a Word! 'Outstanding'!

  • Insane, great! Inspirational.

  • sorry checked out, quarter note =about 145

  • yaaa alright ill finish what i was saying. Just before 1:17(just b4) he throws in "reversal flams". Meaning grace note leftR/grace note rightL. In the manner of (1e+a2e+a [FLAM ACCENT] 3e+a4e+a [FLAM ALTERNATING] ) say quarter note=230 round there. And look u can tell he's thinking about it b4 he does it up (he nodes his head up and down)like....." Oh ok ill do it that way, this ell show em who's got the biggest pipes!"

  • In case anyone thought that 1:10 to 1:24 is a full out single stroke roll. It isnt. but a hell of a modulation. The beginning is, but at the "mok speed" it is transitioned into "the flam accent". The shit hits the fan at 1:14, thats where he changes sticking to the flam accent. Only the best of em can fool ya. And only the best of em do it!

  • It's a single stroke roll. Anything with flams would be uneven rhythmically, but what he's playing is smooth, hand-to-hand.

  • they are not even , and you can tell by the stick height. But more importantly, it's a matter of experience and the ear that developes with it. Really, any rudiment one plays should be able to be excuted 1.with power 2. evenly rhythmically. It's really that simple

  • let's agree to disagree. :)

  • JIM KILPATRICK

    kickass!!!

  • so all the drummers in your high school have multiple world titles under their belt do they shut up you tit you havent got a clue kilpatrick is one the greatest drummers that has ever lived dont forget that what he is doing there is just for fun in the pub you tosser

  • yea tell that to his face, retard. dude is in the top 4 solo drummers in the entire world. now what part of this do u not understand.

  • WOW, how can you diss this guy...he's AMAZING to say the least. Your talking so much smack to say a guy from highschool can beat him. Impossible, this guy has years and years under his belt guy. Highschool, your a joke!

  • If you don't know what you're talking about you'd better kep your mouth shut. You only make a fool of yourself.

  • scorpions84, Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You are one funny guy.

  • Mr Kilpatrick is a master. It would be a dream come true to play with him in Shotts.

  • the craziest part is that he looks so relax. there's not even a vein popping up on his forearm nor sign of stress. THAT is skills

  • How does this guy do this...

    SINGLE STROKES!!!!!

  • and his kilt is freakin awesome

  • this man obviously has a talent that was greatly acknowledged he did not learn how to do this in a matter of 5 months he was born with this ability if you watch his right hand when he plays double stroke, his wrist doesn't even move he has amazing finger coordination if you watch carefully you can that the stick looks as if it were bending like when you shake a pencil while holding it between your thumb and index finger at a steady pace

  • Absolutely no doubt. Jim is probably my biggest influence as far as stick control goes. He blends together finger control, a sort of a moeller motion in order to make the stick rebounce in a way full of feeling and control and other minor muscular moves. I'm starting to understand some of Jim's techniques and feeling while playing.

  • probably the world's finest drum technician alive - the other ones could be Buddy Rich and Alex Duthart (for MANY reasons. Both had IMMENSE stick control, even using different techniques) :] One thing I would say is that you NEED to start experimenting with the stick's bounce. You should be able to "feel" it - I cannot really explain, but the better you feel connected with the sticks hitting the snare and "coming back", the better your playing turns.

  • I'm starting to improve on this (please check it "me playing..." if you will, perhaps). Kilpatrick is a BEAST. :] There is so much ridiculously fast syncopations and rudimental mixtures of all kinds being clearly executed at impossible speeds... he is a God.

  • i am faster with right hand.. but my left heft sucks if i see his one XD

  • 1:20 OMFG!!

  • damn.......nice

  • ..aye not bad for an old man eh...chuckle...oustanding.

  • Brilliant

  • Holy Hell, enough of the Travis Barker bullshit.

    This guy is beyond sweet.

  • Is that just Gladstone or what? Any clues??? Jim doing his amazing "mommy and daddy" with one hand is quite amazing as well. Fantastic player. I'm a fan of him and the whole "shotts and dyke". :]

  • I'd dare to say that out of ALL the snare/pipe/DCI/DCA/kit drummers alive today, Jim is the one to feature the most amazing stick control. His paradiddles are lightning-fast. Actually, I think I've never seen someone playing 'em that fast and clear in my whole life. AMAZING finger technique and moeller. Does anyone know how do they do it? Such an amazing finger control... his fingers and hands barely move! Alex Duthart was also another man with TERRIFIC hand technique. Really amazing.

  • scopion...did you just call his kilt a mamas dress?

    kilts are amazing and are apart of scottish heritage...

    so stop making fun of peoples' heritage!

  • You are a flaming, bullshit eating piece of worthless filth. Go impale yourself through your asshole with a bedpost and shut the fuck up. Travis Barker is a joke, and an even bigger one compared to this guy. Never speak again unless you know what the hell you're talking about.

  • OMG this is 1 cool video...his singles are amazing....I love it...i have uploaded a couple videos of my self if anyone has enough time please check them out and give me some tips

  • Incredible, so relaxed!

  • I know, I wish my sticks would play for me like his do. :(

  • how is it possible for this man to be that fast. i have met him and he is the most down to earth man i have ever met.very cool video ,thanks for posting

  • oh...my.....look at his fricken fingers???? do you see what i see???? nothing!!!! thats right!!! his fingers aren't moving but the stick is a fricken blur!!! waaaghh!

  • I have been playing drums for 54 years now and for the ingorant ones this man is the one we all aspire to. For those who don't know he does play a drum kit. For those that think it's easy, have a go. He has won the World Champion solo drumming prize 16 times an all time world record which will not be broken in the next 25 years or so. Oh well that's got that of my chest.

  • So... you're telling us that you've been playing the drums for over 54 years but you're 28 years old!??? There is something VERY strange on that... don't you think? ;)

  • I just look 28yrs old!! Just a typo on my details but I started at the age of nine.

  • Mad skills. All the haters are idiots and have no concept at all of how hard that is.

  • Harubacool, you are the one playing

    "inspector Gadget" on a fucking Guitar

    on your video.........

    I think you are the perfect idiot!!!!

    Get a life sad boy.......

  • go suck his cock...

  • Travis Barker wish he could play like this

  • Oops, sorry sourpaul, I accidentally gave you a thumbs down. Yes, Travis Barker wishes he could play like that....

  • If you spent less time listening

    to people playing "One drum"

    you may be able to spell correctly.

    "Retard"

  • please don´t say shit.....

  • You've got to be good at one before you can play more dipshit.

  • anyoen who hates this man should get a life

    this guy is a genious, ive met this guy many a time, nicest guy you could meet, so its only one drum big deal they guy is bloody good at what he does probably why hes been snare drum world champion soo many times you fecking retards, thats why he has an mbe

    oh and hes scottish which makes it even better

  • Let's see you do better.

  • why does this man if so good play premier drums????????

  • i can play one note on the guitar so does that mean i can have an MBE just like Jim. What dibber08 is saying about this man is so right it is just one drum...

  • Drum IS NOT EQUAL TO guitar.

    Therefore you fail.

    Maths is fun! :D

  • what are you going on about you mad man,

    he can only play one drum its not rocket science a baby could do that

  • Haha, you make it sound like you know how to play what he's playing. Tell me this then: can you make a drum stick float and play itself with anothe stick? Didn't think so.

  • You have no clue what you're talking about. It's rudimental snare drumming and what he's doing takes ALOT of practice. You have no idea, man.

  • wow thats interesting...........?

  • if you could understand drumming or anything. you would just shut up because this is amazing. douchebag

  • The single stroke roll (slow to top speed) could only be duplicated by very few---if any.

  • Most drummers can play more than

    "one drum" at the same time too.

    Pointless video.

  • he gets more out of one drum than many can with a full kit. Your comment's pointless ya tube.

  • What do you mean he gets more out of it?

    he`s hitting it with a stick? it isnt

    rocket science........

    I am merely pointing out he is only

    playing one drum.

  • one drum with TWO sticks! Enough said.

  • like I said it isnt rocket science.......

  • You sir, could never play the drums. Ever. You're a fuckin' retard.
