greatest homeless drummer in New York 5th avenue

[azmatrockstaar1]

I dont think he is homeless or sumtin.... he is just playing for the fun and the love for music...And he did marvellous job at that....

[tommyv331992]

1:40 into the video and I realized there were movie posters behind him.

[cuteulala1]

Awesome Sounds like techno Rave at 1:10 XDDDD i would have gave him a few bucks!

[SONYMAN915]

PEOPLE LIKE TO COME OUT AND SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE STREETS TO SHOW THEIR TALENT. DOES NOT MEAN THEIR HOMELESS. I GO OUT TO THE STREETS AND SIT JUST LIKE THIS GUY AND I PLAY MY HANG DRUM.

[iLoveLampXx]

Crazy drummer from canada is better :)

[vermie81]

[emili8196]

[ibraheemalshaer]

[hlslayer123]

His timing is pretty fucking accurate lmao

[JPeezyWeezy]

Why is this guy homeless? Its impossible; he has way too much talent.

[hlslayer123]

No one gave him money...asshole new yorkers :(

[420choky]

@hlslayer123 they probably were on their way to WORK

[hlslayer123]

@420choky i know lol...i was kidding.

[420choky]

@hlslayer123 me 2 hahahah

[Dinostank]

This guy isn't homeless at all. Unemployed, possibly. Homeless? Nope.

[SWIFT95330]

@Dinostank not unemployed either...He's got a great job playing drums on the street. How is he unemployed? Just because he doesn't work for someone else?

[bigslim3316]

new yorkers suck !!!!!!! this guy somewhere else could probably make enough money to get a place...

[supravista]

@bigslim3316 the dude is rocking Adidas ZX800's, about 80 bucks a pair... Homeless people don't wear shoes like that.

[T4Teddy24]

@bigslim3316 and how is an unemployed person on the streets of NYC make all ppl from new york bad? what if i said just because one black person was in a gang that all of them are bad? this is how stereotypes are started. congratulations, you are now blocked

[sihplak]

People in NYC are so cheap they won't give a homeless dude any money.

[TheFastestSrbin]

He is very good, to bad he is homeless! :-(

I hope he will use his talent to make some nice amount of cash and buy a house and a brand new drum set! ;-)

[turntabliss]

fresh as fuck!!!!

[HeavyMetalUnicorn3]

His timing is pretty fucking accurate.

[JACOSTA51]

props to him, at least he is not just standing there doing nothing asking for money!!

[dsg19319]

Nigger stole my buckets!!! :(

[TheFleischkatapult]

if i saw him i went to the next store and bought him some real drumsticks^^

[ceasefire066]

no one paid money and attention to this drummer except the camera man!

the world is so mean

[MrCollegeEater]

HOLY SHIT its Thomas Pridgen :|

[vivitar45]

he should use at least a real set of drum sticks look better and more chance of getting anny thing

[Ladiikayi12]

OMG.....many homeless have talent...while some thats living gud n cant sing,rap or do crap but still make money...?!Gud Job Dude

[soonercarports]

And the beat goes on....

[temistoclebanana]

The posters of those goddamn hollywood music,just reminds me that this guy is more talented than them.

[deathcube18]

[xxxEmmureOwnxxx]

HES FUCKIN CLEAN, EVERYONE IS LOOOKIN AT HIM AS TRASH PROBALY AS ALAWAYS, TILL HE BECOMES FAMOUS, EVERYONE WILL LOVE HIM.. FUCK DUMB AS HUMANS FOREAL.

[xxxEmmureOwnxxx]

[pakipagal420]

I posted a new video of this guy check it out search 5 th ave drums

[jokerclownman]

[mrluv7]

T PAIN!!!

[eking3p]

WHY IS IT ALLWAY THE BLACK PEOPLE WHO PLAY STREET DRUMS

[obscure323]

@eking3p Because its always the black people who get shit on by the system.

[hippieh8er1]

Who ever said he was homeless...look how fresh that white tee is

[blahblahnigger]

hey i was just lookin up homeless drummer because i saw one in nyc like 2 years ago and i think this may be the guy i was watching and recording! i have the recording in my computer now, ill check it out.

[night2mare]

any one notice the butt right behind his head?

[Mastercow9]

@night2mare sersly i know

[zuneboy]

@night2mare those are balls. dumbass.

[IMakeItRain3s]

Nice! ....and he looks like a mix of tatupu, bob Marley and t-pain

[Jonny69erWithYourMum]

He ain't homeless look how white his shirt is :)

[SgtShwat]

@Jonny69erWithYourMum Even homeless guys can use a coin-op washing machine. It's a shame that the talented ones still have to.

[sylvia428]

wow he is great

[christianf21]

Wow nice. Check out in my videos I have a guy in London who does the same thing but WAY better than this guys. But got to admit this guy has talent. Check out my 2 vids the guy is aswell VERY talented and gets A LOT of tips a day.

[JohnMorrise]

is a fuckinnnnnnn beautifuuullll :D

[hippieh8er1]

Funny how the description says "homeless" just because its buckets and hes sitting on the street

[FlyingGold]

@hippieh8er1 yeh i know right? such ignorance by some people..

[mryankeefan1231]

@hippieh8er1 And he's black...

[DRVII]

richard baxter can top this dawg

[emerpus01]

Not homeless. Seriously uncool to presume he is. Playing on buckets is a folk art in NYC since two decades now. What do you expect him to set up a drumset there?

[beedubs]

He dont look homeless to me with a clean white T

[sugarsha1]

Off the chain!!!

[mupty]

That's so cool. It sounded like a techno song to me...which I am a fan of. Heck this guy should be getting his own album.

[Exhume2Consume]

that doesnt sound very reggae? sounds just like beats?

[linkinpark11214]

theres a butt behind him if u look closely

[contaminate]

Look at how white his t-shirt is; I doubt he's homeless. Probably trying to make some side money to help fund a new drumset?

[TheTofuGod]

he aint homeless look at that niggas shoes

[ShadowDaemon1]

i want to go there JUST to give this guy money. sadly im far away....

[darkevil923]

wow no one gave him money

[mattador2792]

not one person gave him some money WTF?

[rainbowspite222]

@mattador2792 common for nyc, alot of these guys arent drug addicts they busk to make extra money, some of them aren't even homeless. He's obviously not cracked out because he's got rythym and energy. He is talented though.

[mattador2792]

@rainbowspite222 I didn't think he was a crackhead or homeless, I woulda given him money just to show support of his talent.

[rainbowspite222]

@mattador2792 Yeah me too, for the talent alone he deserves something. I wonder if he knows how many views he's got on YouTube lol.

[jamesse100]

fair play to him should not be homeless looks like he is trying to do something with his life some people need a chance

[juniorracer1995]

if hes homless and in need of money y not join a band or something

[djfoolio]

haha there's a pair of BALLS behind him >.>

[Dromoro]

This man is a genius

[ikmachov]

this is really sad.. not his playing, just in general. 2 bad he's not playing with people.

[luxeinternational]

You have to wonder tho... Would he have ever developed this awesome talent without being homeless... HMMMM.... All you Youtuber's in NY need to find this dude and put $2 in his bucket!

[sex0saurus]

T-Pain after his album went FLOP!

[yadiggitman]

thats good

[Cowboycurtis888]

Hey he might not be homeless...some musicians just perform...i know quite a few...they have good jobs, they have homes...they just like the feel of this kinda crowd better than a huge concert hall or a studio...

[comeondown123]

no one was giving him money :(

[killerm10]

If Pain Makes Such a Human , Most People Should Suffer It .

[cutsandbruises101]

sweet

[howen123456789]

The talent is all in those people, not in those rich faggots.

The talent is really WORKING for it.

Your daily singers are huuuuge rich people which don't put much effort in those such things.

[antho836]

@howen123456789 finally someone that wakes up

[nathanb2159]

This guy doesn't seem homeless, he has clean clothes lol.

[redkush420]

this is dope

[Ryabamo]

the reason nobody gives him money is because he is in new york city and newyorkers hat the homeless. What d-bags

[martinomalloch]

@Ryabamo this guy aint homeless hes a hustler afer this i saw jump in a bmw.........

[ZuzerHun]

another reason might be that he is making this annoying noise. he is as close to playing the drums as a woodpecker.

[eat4peace]

@ZuzerHun

I'd like to see you do better, asshole

[MrElmor1]

@ZuzerHun This kinda feelin for rythym is very rare i know it cause i study bass on high school so dont talk shit, you dont know nobody or never heard anyone with this feelin of groove. Gr from Amsterdam

[ZuzerHun]

@MrElmor1 then you should listen to masters 'stead of "talking shit".

watch?v=KbyIv9n_-d0

gr from budapest

[MrElmor1]

@ZuzerHun this guy is master

[goodspeed4441]

he is not homeless...

[Bellingham1997]

I'm sure you know him personally.

[magiciencool]

i never thought t pain would end up that way

[CrashImpact]

@magiciencool but think about it. There is bound to be someone out there that sees his talent and cutes him a drumming deal! How do you think some rappers came about. I know of 6 of the top of my head the were homeless and or selling crack and weed to survive. and now they rap and drum. Just an example. I know he may not be a rapper. But if someone has talent and there in the middle of New York showing that talent the bound to get a deal. Just Sayin.

[marshfishy]

@magiciencool LMFAO!

[electriccwecozz]

@magiciencool o lord lolX)

[2wingedman]

@magiciencool Hey at least he's not auto-tuning it!

[Anameudontgot]

@magiciencool LMAO!!

[israelamador13]

this dude owns hannah montana any day but this guy doesnt even make a quarter of what that crap girl makes

[tjyahl]

why the fuck is he homeless??

[CivicNox]

i would grab his bucket and run

[Bellingham1997]

Why?

[redkush420]

@CivicNox if i saw someone do that to this guy i would beat the shit out of them

[nastynate8585]

uhh who says he is homeless?

[LordOfTec]

this sounds good. Respect!

[MetalDominican]

im pissed that not one person gave him any money...

[DecapitatedDoctor]

I wouldnt be able to walk past him without giving him some money! I'd feel guilty

[ImOfNope]

I wonder if he knows about this video?

I wonder if he can play a real set sitting up regularly?

He may be lousy sitting upright and great on the ground. Got to take those things into consideration before calling him great. I see these kind of bucket players in chicago and they all suck in chicago. But gotta say, this guy is the only one who's made any sense of these beats on buckets. Great job. He obviously played before & perhaps there's a reason he's on the street. Update us please.

[larry89]

dude should hit the studio make mavado a hit lol

[amir27maria]

i dont care if this dude homeless or not he a fuckin beast and actually got talent unlike most ppl in the music industry that get paid mils to make shitty ass music. . . nuf said

[er1ck190]

no taxes u can make more then 10 dollers an hour sounds like the life 2 me LOL da only thing u lose when doing this job is YOUR DIGNITY LOL but u can always buy that xD

[ghost210]

these guys make more money than i do

[SouthBendKE]

This guy has tons of talent and is homeless while some talentless rappers like 50 cent make millions in a calender year.

[gosuckyomomma]

so fucking true man so fucking true

[franklakktweddle]

50 cent has telent but thi guy is way better

[TheBigweezy1212]

@SouthBendKE Yeah that's America for ya. Over and over again, people walked right by true talent and did'nt drop a dime, but about 10 out of the 100 people that passed will stop down the street and by a Lil wayne or 50 cent album which in turn makes those no talent wanna bes alot of money. How stupid have we as Americans become?

[giggs102]

@SouthBendKE more like fucking justin beiber. fucking shit this world is gay.

[LiLiLovesrealmusic]

@SouthBendKE I totally agree with you on that note. Hidden talents that goes to waste cause of lack on investment and community involvement there trying to make a living like anybody else.

[flingfff]

tianna you suck

[26esm]

umm im pretty sure he aint homeless...they do studies on these dudes...they get a right spot and make like 300 bucks a day...more than minimum wage by far...they fake it..i talked to one guy and he actually had a car and an apartment and he showed me a smith and wesson 45 caliber pistol he had...worth over a grande...so dont blieve the bull

[nineball87]

if he's homeless, why is his shirt so clean?

[lesovikk101]

i saw this guy last week lol

[lesovikk101]

the drumstick fell on 0:03

[1hippiehater]

I like the Baseketball poster behind him. Great under rated movie.

[B0omtown]

Why are there so many great homeless drummers? At least they wont be homeless for long :)

[Iampaok]

to all of you:do you realise how much money does he make daily?

[Quiet0wing]

Not enough for that kind of talent

[MCclarkey]

Im from the UK and i went NY last summer and seen this guy he is AMAZING, just didnt stop unlimited energy... Definately has alot of talent

[rg7077]

U gotta be kiddn me! And this guy is homeless!!!!! Someone sign him!!!!!

[dave0549jv]

sweet ride... uh... tray

[chrischo53]

BAsketbawlz xD

[333tanx]

DAMN, this guy is using a box as a hi hat!

[ShelterDogs]

This guys is a very good street drummer, but I hope he realizes that he's putting a lot of stress on his back and maybe other areas of his body, too. This can lead to chronic pain.

[ICTg33k]

you best have given him some money after filming him all that time. lol

[loveskateing12]

look behind him you see to basketballs look like a sack!!

[PlagueThem]

It does! XD

[skaterbrat1234]

you have a dirty mind

[mrny25]

WOW that was insane... Thats some serious shit right there

[i8am8jesse]

tha dude has on clean socks, he aint homeless

[kracker740]

maybe he just kicks so much ass that passer-bys fork out just enough cash for him to wash his socks......

never underestimate the luxury of wearing clean socks!

[mccuesharon]

The guy is not homeless, he is a street performer....

[mccuesharon]

what makes you think this guy is homeless?

[SayNOtoCarrots]

cuz he is playing buckets not drums, thats why.

[victorylala]

that's creativity! not playing on drums doesnt mean he is homeless..

[kracker740]

i've played buckets out in the street before.... and i have a job/car etc....

[jgpwlcs36]

lol 0:01

[sandniger]

man this is gooooood!

[kalashnicough]

Talented for sure!....incredible! Even off-time signatures...this guy has some serious chops.

[thefly7771]

He not Homeless,Hes a street performer,Fucking Jerk off

[wonszlol]

Ok people you've seen enough now go back to yout TV and watch Paris Hilton sing, thats real talent xD

[SpeakingMyMind7]

what a waste of perfectly good talent!

he should be performing on a stage!

[Tommiclio]

Maybe he's happy as he is..

I cant belive hes that good and never been approached. Maybe people are wary because of his "homeless" status...

Hes a talent for sure.

[TheMortalTreason]

He is mad good at what he does

[EclipseTyrant]

he isnt a homeless, hes a performer and hes a damn well good performer

[osibalasi]
