[WhySayChelsea]

Would be sick to get a download copy of that backing track to drum along to. Just throwing that out there <3

[j0shcamach0]

YOU NEED TO MAKE MORE OF THESE!!!!!!

[mcshanksta]

MATT GREINER

[domy414]

good thing i got my tats so i can show of my tats with my tank top hahahahaha

[jesseroggaa]

Piper seems clueless about... the music world.

[chickenbeforeegg]

@jesseroggaa You know he was acting, right? :P It was all fun and games, he's an awesome dude! :)

[BenjaminKlein96]

@jesseroggaa you seem pretty clueless about joel piper..

[jesseroggaa]

@BenjaminKlein96 The dude doesn't know who Billy Ocean is. That song is a classic. As a professional musician, he should at least have a cursory knowledge of some of the most well-known musicians of the last 100 years.

[vyse75]

i laughed SOOOO hard at the warped tour bit. I love this guy

[truthamedia]

you should interview this drummer named Brad Davis He is pretty good from what i hear..

[TheHitman1990]

I vote for Brad

[Audap123]

good thing i´ve got my tatts...so i can show of my tatts in my tanktop...

[kingpin8393]

[octoberdays]

I loved every second of this video, but the 3doors down comment was by far my favorite part.

[byLivio]

Epic ending! lol

[hackerboy425]

[AskingSixx23]

ITS OK JOEL PIPER YOU'LL GET HIM NEXT TIME TIGER.

[ForgetTheForgiven]

I feel like Joel wants to punch him in the face like forreal.

[iceydanpowns]

3dd is awsome lol, give em` some credit.

[Easports76]

brad davis i choose you!

[ilostmymantra]

Can anybody tell me what song that is during the drum off? I would appreciate!

[benDrumswell]

[sinister3445]

ZING!! 

[sndsharew]

[blakeframe]

If he got Adam Gray, It'd be the funniest video on youtube.

[KsE909]

5:36 pea soup pea soup pea soup

[irwin3036able]

Interview MIKE PORTNOY!!!

[mrthickshake]

I didnt think it was possible to mix hilarity with sick drumming, but you did it!

[AspireAndInspire]

Ideas:

Josh Eppard

Cobus

Derek Bloom

Coby Linder

Steven Padin

Aaron Gillespie

Mark Gajadhar

[mrjehupitchfork]

@AspireAndInspire cobus? are f'n kidding me? that dude shuns basic theory. fuck cobus.

[AspireAndInspire]

@mrjehupitchfork ... that doesn't make you sound like a bitter anus at all

I've studied music theory. We were taught everything you should know. Keys, Rhythms, Modes, Basic Progressions, etc. Studied every corner of it.

But you know what we really learned in our last term?

Throw it away.

Theory should be used to explain what you've written/played.

If you write and play based on what theory you've learned, you're not playing with any heart, you're following a formula.

Sorry, I stand by my choice

[mrjehupitchfork]

@AspireAndInspire bitter, over a cover artist that an anonymous youtube commentor likes? no. i'm sayin, i don't respect cover artists at all. especially one's who do nothing to add any originality to the cover: cobus. i'm glad you like him. yay. we all win.

[AspireAndInspire]

@mrjehupitchfork So you don't respect somebody simply for the work they've posted on Youtube, including the original tracks from his band? (And, I'd hate to break it to you, but you're comment on a video by a man who, despite being from Reeve Oliver, is now growing popular for his Youtube channel, which is made up of about 50% drum covers)

Add no originality? I'm guessing you've maybe only watched, what, 3 cobus videos before?

[mrjehupitchfork]

@AspireAndInspire 2 things: ANYONE can post on yt. anyone. that is not an accomplishment whatsoever. 2ndly: i've watched more than 3, but honestly, you don't need more than that to see the lack of originality. and what the hell does him getting more popular have to do with the qualitative aspects of a performance? absolutely nothing. the biggest surprise in all of this is that you didn't instantly resort to childish name calling... oh wait.

[AspireAndInspire]

@mrjehupitchfork I never implied posting on youtube was an accomplishment. Wondering where you picked that one up.

Look, get as mad as you want, but bottom line is: I expressed my opinions simply on who I would like to see interviewed. You pulled a childish move from the first moment by really just taking my opinion and going "Oh no, you're wrong, because I totally don't like that guy". That IS a bit of an asshole move.

Many people see originality, you don't. Oh well.

Deal with it

[mrjehupitchfork]

@AspireAndInspire "So you don't respect somebody simply for the work they've posted on Youtube" that's a direct quote. and no i don't. Secondly, i'm not mad, i'm just annoyed that you can't have a healthy debate without resorting to name calling. Either you're 13 or just immature. Either which makes me not want to continue this conversation. Don't bother responding, you'll be wasting your time.

[AspireAndInspire]

@mrjehupitchfork It was never even a debate. It was you acting like an ass and me calling you on it, and I'm in no way concerned with what I call you or don't call you (and the maturity game is played only by people who want to seem more grown up than they actually are).

Cheers! :D

[mrjehupitchfork]

@AspireAndInspire fuck off. seriously. if you can't see your own contradictions, then this seriously pointless. you won't even own up to your own statements. and if you don't think name calling is immature & you "really don't care what you do or don't call people", then you're only proving my point that much more. as for cobus? why interview him at all? what the hell does he have to offer of ANY substance?

[AspireAndInspire]

@mrjehupitchfork What do I have to own up to? At worst you seem to be mistranslating me saying you don't respect someone simply for what they've posted on youtube as "Posting videos on youtube really means you're something".

I never said I was mature. That's your own false assumption. Sorry, mate.

Brad would benefit by having Cobus on by not only drawing in more people, but giving people an insight into good drumming in pop music (even though you don't see it).

Thought I was wasting my time?

[bferg531]

@mrjehupitchfork lol you got owned.

[AdventureDrums]

@AspireAndInspire Wow, guys. all i have to say is currently covers are only about 20% of my youtube videos. Don't drag me into this.

[AspireAndInspire]

@AdventureDrums ... this feels like an awkwardly delayed response

Fair enough

But you cannot stop my massive pink throbbing love train that's headed straight for Bradtown, no matter WHAT percentages you supply us with!

[AaronSmithchyeaah]

Bahahahahaha, the ending where joel does the double bass things with his hands crossed is so funny.

[JAMESHARTDRUMS]

that was schmick joel.

[crackerslash]

when he starts to imitate him xD

[gbdrumer]

Yeah Cobus and Ricky copied you big time. (tags)

[lordzero545]

Lol he looks like the weird guy in I See Star's Music Video: What This Means To Me.

[toolbiscuit]

joel is so humble :)

[Quikstix777]

ahahaha this was awesome XD subbed :D

[iZishu]

DUUDE you made me laugh sooo much! SUBBED!

[Quikstix777]

@iZishu I didn't see your post before I did mine, now it looks like I copied you ahahahah

[ivopais]

You are the man! (Yes, Brad Davis, it's you!)

[182arnaldo1]

Joel Piper é o melhor em tudo...em criações, produções e composicões!!!

Jesus Love you...

God bless..!

[stunnaonflyrims]

He's the KassemG of drumming lol... sooo awkward.

[PenniePie]

You are so funny!

[bferg531]

im actually in shock your videos dont get more views. they're literally hilarious and the production quality is amazing. and even though you're a beast on the kit, you still find ways to be funny while playing. i consider it my duty to spread the word on your vids.

[DrumzNGunz]

Brad Davis kills that dude in the drum off....

[toolbiscuit]

@DrumzNGunz serious? youtube confide lol

[MrJoko97]

[phang93]

// Amazing...

[xXWhatUpDocXx]

lol thsi video somehow irritates me ^^

[drums4life5]

Also love the way he describes Joel in the description "Singer/Song Writer/Pop Artist" AND the tags "Jeff,Cobus and Ricky Ficarelli didnt pay outside until they saw me nail the halleujiah chorus"

[snph40]

Piper has some strange sounding toms.

[luciodrum87]

man you are unic :):):)

[tpayne712]

interview matt griener or adam gray!

[mguygh]

[mguygh]

[rockfan10231]

you haven't heard get out of my dreams get out......dude, get out of my car.

[waiwai812]

THE GIRL???? WTF?

[irwin3036able]

Joel Piper is great inspiration and a great drummer. Kinda out of topic but Arin Ilejay is currently touring with A7X as of this point. Come Feb 2012, when A7X takes a break, I say they should part ways with Arin.And come 2013, when A7X returns, I would love to see Joel being their new drummer.

M Shadows+ Synyster Gates + Zacky Vengeance+Johnny Christ + Joel Piper= EPIC DREAM LINEUP :)

[KsE909]

@irwin3036able no. just, no. Joel wants to play pop, not metal. that idea is stupid. Joel would never want to do that. He wants to follow his dreams as a pop artist. you're an idiot and you know nothing about Joel

[irwin3036able]

@KsE909 You're a gayasshole with no talent 

[BatmanOnIce]

@irwin3036able hey. you. yeah you, Mr. Irwin-no-videos calling people with more gull than you gay because their videos are better than your lack of. shut up.

[KsE909]

@BatmanOnIce how did you find this video and my comment? are you stalking me bro?!

[KsE909]

@irwin3036able and how do i have no talent? i've devoted 7 years of my life to music. Arin is a way better drummer than Joel, Joel is just an amazing musician all around. you have no idea what you are talking about. he said himself, he loves the heavy stuff, but his dream has always been to play pop music. so you want him to give up his dream so that YOU can be satisfied? fuck you, and go your idiotic comment.

[irwin3036able]

You should interview Arin Ilejay from A7X :))

[xRushBlade]

HOW I DEFINITELY DIDN'T EXPECT THIS. JOEL PIPER IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE DRUMMERS EVER.

[CheeseyNameHere]

that was the sweetest ending to a drum off Iv'e ever seen!
