[sshinn15]

AWESOME



[SoCoMfOoL]

this is a really nice song and all but people are acting like hes the best steel drummer ever.. steel drums really arent that hard to play :/

[MarkAndersonJackson]

Insane man. Props.



[millerhxc]

i'm a drummer...have been for 17 years...and I only wish I could do what you do. fucking skill!! And awesome song choice...same with weezer.

[midnightpicture9]

This sounds really amazing!

[msmusicalgurl]

omg awsome

[BasketballMusic13]

OMG this is awsome!!

[Kushberry73]

you are a very talented musician you should be proud

[Herletters1216]

this is incredibly original. thanks for posting

[moonlitesymphony]

It's really impressive. I'll say though that you should probably slow it down. Not that you need to play it the same as the original, just that I feel like the song has a better dramatic character when it comes out slowly, and it's probably a decent deal easier to play.

[tykku]

Have to admit, this is some pretty amazing stuff. Mistakes are a part of learning. This makes me want to pick up my flute or sax again.

[andmcg1]

You should re-record in higher quality. Your voice cannot be heard most of the time and the sound of the Steelpans is washed out.

It sounded great from what I could hear though!

[adare21]

Mess up's or not, this is still pretty damn good!

[JeanaDylan83]

Niceeeeee - Awesome Hun =)

[plinkplonk101]

[Grapadacious]

This is fantastic! I don't even mind the mistakes. I'm amazed that you could focus on hitting every right spot on those steel drums while singing. You're tops! Kudos.

That is all.

[GINGERLEE20]

I just want to say that I was in a Steel Drum Band and we were good... but he is so good. Wow.

[noestabien]

WOW! great job man! Its very hard to sing and keep that rhythm/melody going at the same time. Awesome

[pinkskafiary]

I've been a member of youtube for years now and have never posted a comment. That's how amazing and cool this is. I used to play steel drums and I just love the sound of them. They are a beautiful accompaniment for your voice. Go you!

[bigtophalloween]

Let me disagree with your sentiment that BFF rocks, but you do indeed rock. Very impressive! I don't know how to express this any better than saying I never thought that this song could sound like this. Thanks for showing me something I never thought as a sonic possibility. Steel drums are pretty sweet!

Excellent work... Do you need a manager?

[yuriTardet]

Dude you have some serious talenT You just learn over time where each note is on the drum? I am so impressed!It's great to hear a steel drum not playing caypso- it is really a great sound. Thanks for that!

[turtlepan101]

Cool, man, thanks. Glad you liked. I learned to play in high school right along with the trumpet and piano... not much different to learn, either.

[ragtimejim]

that is frickin amazing

[livv3hlove]

Woooaaahh!

That is so cool. Never seen anything like it

Well done :)

[BeauHollis]

Wow. This is incredible. How long did this take you learn? I'm still struggling to play and sing this simultaneously on the piano where I can use all 10 fingers. I was lazy and recorded them separately for my cover.

[turtlepan101]

it took some time to get second nature with the end of the chorus and the bridge. as you can see, remembering the words on the transitions was the hardest part for me

[tiger00555]

love it

[angelg2392]

dude. thats beast.

[puffycow]

I am loving the bird house.

[ambergahill]

Hey its the famous birdhouse drummer! ive heard of him!
