Ben Heliczer on drums

[thelegendmyst1]

Holy shit!! That kids amazing. Wish i could play like that

[Flamsick]

I think thisyoung man plays very nicely and has a bright future.

[xam154]

NOW do all that on an acoustic set

yea not nearly as much reaction, requires more than you can put out

[tweakersmith]

id have to move the brain of the kit if my ride was gonna be there

[90dahveed09]

hey at 0:38, what kinda beat is that? or what time signature is that?

BTW AWESOME job seriously! You should definitely be in DCI if you aren't already! :D

[HollyMushh]

he's mega hot, btw. i think he's 16 now.

[noah112234]

neil peart fan right there!!

[lastmetalhero]

woooow....what's this called? Showing off?,...My god,...and you r only 14,....  i'm getting depressed,...

Great work boy,....keep rockin'

[scottc72]

50 ways to leave your lover at 2:20 is awsome!

[111Jebacbre111]

oh man i am 18 years and play drums but this is awesome hehe

[0ldmantime]

YYZ?! HOLY! HATS OFF! Tight, clean, and complete! I think I gave a failing shot at YYZ at the age of 18ish... I wish I could blame the electronics lol..

Great job. ignore any negative comments. You can take drumming to the next level :)

message to the parents "It was worth it. Great job. Don't stop now." (He's playing out of his league!)

[thames21]

dude, i hate you!!!

just kidding, you are way to good man!

keep up this work, or get even better.

Don't waste such a talent, although i bet you weren't planning to do that.

PLZ POST MORE VIDS

[hk0i]

Haha was that hot for teacher at the end? Good job.

[lennonfan123]

Great stuff dude rock on

[GothicKid96]

dude that is talent right there

[TitaChu50]

Ignore negative comments, they are from sick people. You are an incredible talent. Long shot, but you look like you could be related to late Italian poet and filmmaker, Piero Heliczer (as does dad Stephen, but you more so). By any chance? -T.C.

[bram513]

wow,14? imagine this kid when he's 20years!

i'm just jalouz..but i'll keep my chin up and will practice some more than! peace

[emunah5767]

omgg ben thats unreal!

its abbie and emily here btw x

[baergal]

i think you need to watch the same video as the rest of us buddy. the kids 14, and he's better than you.

i don't need to see you play to know that. anyone who insults a 14 year olds chin is clearly compensating for something.

[TitaChu50]

I feel sorry for you, because nasty is as nasty does, i.e., hurts you more than it does the target, but thank you at least for not spelling out the F word.

[TitaChu50]

Clarification of my own comment: It should appear below mmchello's critique, to which it is posted as a reply. Que paso???

[nuckingfutzzz]

Why are you being a douche this kid is amazing and could play drums better than you ever could stop posting asswipe comments and fuck off this kid is amazing!

[moderndrummer69]

omg you need 2 never give up on drummin do the world a favor and dont quit!

[Frano911]

thats sum good drumming there buddy but it really dosent sound good

[oOoOViperOoOo]

LEARN TO RECORD WITH LINE IN

[lkabird]

unbelievable

[jonnyboy531]

the sound is SOO much better with the headphones in

[BaKeRdRuMmEr]

Pretty good man keep practicing.

[trewellaboy]

CHHHIIIIIINNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Keubrunova]

I think its pretty safe to say that this kid has a bright future ahead of him.

[ASFS11]

ahh yeah man. that's what's up. i need one of those kits. i will actually be able to play "quiet" so i don't wake up my neighbors haha

[ASFS11]

ahh yeah man. that's what's up. i need one of those kits. i will actually be able to play "quiet" so i don't wake up my neighbors haha

[Supernerd98]

nice dude i want a td-20pro set like that but they are like 8grand and i cant afford that ur pretty lucky and good at drumming

[Katmarou]

holy smokes this kid rocks the hous \m/

[thefella225]

hey Tubs1010 if you knew a damn thing about drumming then u'd kno that this video wasnt sped up

[MitSaRaSsSsS]

w0w really nice

keep it up u could be really famous

[CannibalisticWasabi]

Nice job, but those snare sounds are easier to get on a electronic kit. I would be really impressed if you could make the same sound good on a real kit. Brutal vid!

[Tubs1010]

y do so many people speed up there videos

[imascatman5]

Ever thought that he might just have serious skill?

[olivier5150]

Ur really awesome! your playin kicks ass

[datinypepe]

are u rich because u have thoughs nice drums

[lybrium]

your son rocks the shit outa those rolands, kudos mates!

[01stanbk]

Very impressive. I'm not a musician but my son is 12 and learnibg the drums. He started two years ago and is on Grade 4 of Rockschool. I think your ability will inspire him further. You have obviously been blessed with considerable talent; I hope you put it to good use. Well done.

[bobbieholbrook]

Kick. Ass.

[gercekmanyak]

hahahah... verrry good ;) your age is 10-11..but very good..

[crispywesty]

all these idiots saying your shit, what a load of bollocks your far from shit very far, your awsome. it appears a small majority of drummers on youtube have become bg snobs and consider anything to be below them, at the end of the day were all musicians i think your a great drummer keep it up and ignore these facist know it alls.

[55512123]

damn

[goalieshiv]

almost all leftys are fuckin talented

[lauroga]

hell yeah, i didn't notice he was left handed. because hes drum set is mounted like he was right handed, which makes things even more difficult :| damn, this guy rocks. 5 stars

[bater1abater1a]

Great talent!!!

[jakeypwns]

[sapichas]

[YawBStoopit01]

It is great work. The guy's 14 for cryin out loud! Don't let the detractors derail ya, kid. You keep kickin' the way YOU want! I heard all kinds of great stuff there. Time is on your side. Be safe, be well and prosper!

[FiddyShekel]

[sgafdsag]

[your0love0iesinside]

[heliczer]

Great, thanks! Seeing as you seem to make playing music into a competition, I am very much looking forward to seeing your videos of you playing - surprised not to see any posted so far? You are obviously brilliant. Or maybe you haven't yet as you are worried of what people think of your efforts?

[SamIsYourOwner]

You guys say:

"He's good, but not too good"

Fuck, he's great, I'm 23, and been playing drums 16 years, he's awesome..

[Papallazarou]

he's good enough

GehtDiNixo...... hope you are trying varied styles ben, you'd make a good session drummer

[GehtDiNixO]

he is good, but not to good

[punkedupemo]

[be2789]

[whytome12]

[DoktorCp]

You sound good for being young. The other young just sound wierd :P

[Hevariii]

You are something good, something cool!

[toxicdesplay]

[karsweirds]

[BDdrummer]

[Eddieklic]

Apart from the young age, it is still amazing.

[sandshaker19]

Much respect bro! Keep up the excellent work. You have real skills.

[yamadrumma]

at 2:24 im pretty sure that was a steve gadd beat from the trio drum solo with gadd colauita and weckl...easy but still kick ass ..very well done ben

[tonitoloko]

the new Joey Jordison

[ThaHolyOne]

Dude you rock I play drums and im 22years old, ur much better than I am. That vid rocked dude, how long you been playing? Also im looking to change my acoustic kit for e-drums, was going to get a yamaha DTXpress, but do you think I would be better off saving up longer for the Roland?

[JoeRnCT]

I like how you stand your ground when someone says something negative. You throw it right back in their face. (drummer attitude lol) Keep it up. Don't let anyone bring you down with their comments. By the way, for some drumming you might like to play along to....checkout Iron Maiden's "Live After Death" CD (if you can find it) You might like "Hallowed Be Thy Name", "Phantom Of The Opera" and "The Trooper". The bass player and drummer really stand out on that CD.

[JoeRnCT]

Hi Ben. I got your message and tried to respond but got some error and it didn't send. I know Darren from working with him when he was 18-19yrs. old. He made a demo of his songs where he played drums, guitar, bass, keys and sang. He's multi-talented. Although he does have that "Drummer attitude". lol I still have that copy he gave me when he was 19. I figure if he ever makes it big....I can make copies and sell them on eBay. lol

[Etoastio]

SWEET

[blussy]

Great kid!

[JoeRnCT]

Great playing Ben. I'm a guitarist but am thinking of getting into drumming as well. Gotta checkout more electronic drum vids first so I can decide between Roland and Yamaha. By the way, is your last name pronounced "He-licks-her"? :-) Awesome name. lol Or you can call your band Elixor. :-) Don't know if you're into death metal (I'm not) but do a search for my friend Darren Cesca. He's been playing since he was 13. He's 27 now and pretty damn good. Take care and never give up playing.

[ThatAzzSHITbag]

dont let people give you trash. listen to the ones who say your good, ive been playing drums for 10 years and can say your better than me.

[miraga715]

I don't know about you but he's pretty good to me.

[13yearoldartist]

hahahahaha, at 1:40 ,your playing YYZ!

[captmattyd]

Yeah he's a rock star alright but can he drive a boat??? (Im sure he can) Capt Matt and Shelbie saying hi from the Keys... Ben you're awesome keep rockin!!!

[ZEK1NRZ]

SiCK... awsome im 14 too, ive been drumming since 2 years old. nice

[transPlanko]

wow, for a moment I was thinking of getting back into the drumming as a hobby but since I am now 30 and this guy is half my age and kicks ass I think I will leave the goods to it! Great stuff man.

[njacd]

Very nice for a 14-year-old. Keep it up!

[wesm8wes]

..........urrrrrrr insaaaaaaanee man

[draktet]

lol hey ben its ali neva knew u were this good fukin hell lol now i know what nine years of drummin does to ya

[brockdarock]

[weeeee162]

[articangeldrummer]

FAST PERSON! SUPER GOOD FOR HIS AGE!

[buzzingbee25]

too good for a 14 year old.

[cvamates12]

holy shit your are the fuking business keep it up dude

[Kleina15]

WTF, damn, how amazing ... 5/5 stars!

Keep the shit on!

[gotbass33727]

rock on man, not trying to be weird or anything , but im a bass player needing a drumer, lol... ive been playing bass for 7 years, and am 15, i am the biggest Rush fanatic out there and wondered if you live anywhere near Indiana?

-See you in the Limelight

-Joey

[putz55]

You really are something else...especially for being so young. Lessons or on your own?

Keep it up man! I'm envious in some ways and I've been at it for about 36 years. Good job. Just bought my first e-set and can't wait for delivery.

[snowmangaggift]

yeahhhhhhhhh yyz nice choice

[Delveymerbob]

wow man, that was amazin!! ur really tallented, keep up the work!

ur a lucky boy to have a kit like that! lol

[ConsumedByDrums]

the grooves were good. although his chops arnt the best. but you're still pretty badass.

[ash3344]

tht is awesome man

you are a very talented drummer and for someone your age you can go very far in life of music but here is my opinion keep practicing and you could be playing for the next top band in the world =]

keep rocking man!!

[DrummerInExile]

was alright, you play a lot like me when i was 14....

try and be more creative and inventive...a lot of that stuff was boring (no offence)..

keep it up, sounds good..

[mattisprettycool]

Wow.

[Pablo668]

Very nice indeed.

Wish I could do that now, let alone at 14!

[TheWoodStudio]

Just great.
