[4thsnare]

[TheMadicomeaux]

love the beat && the music keep it up!!!

[xscuba1111stevex]

i hope you get paid 100 dollars an hour for that man

[janiabug]

I LOVE YOU BEN!!!!!!!!!

[heavensmaggot]

Wow man this is great! You remind me of me but with actual talent ^^ Subscribed

[bbrobber30]

What DAW is that?

[Pantothensaeure]

@bbrobber30

I think it's pro tools

[theplanet1985]

@Pantothensaeure not pro tools.

[jareds270]

@bbrobber30 its logic.

[jeroentjeja]

dude your good

[jeroentjeja]

dude your googd

[DEADMANSJOURNAL]

You can tell he's in the marching band when he does the hihat groove :p

[Allplussomeminus]

I like how how you had the camera pan over all those interfaces. But that drum pattern was a little to loud for me... Still though, nice video. =]

[ishakehandswithbeef]

@hugio55 dude what computer program do u use? great vid btw! keep it up

[philconey11]

@ishakehandswithbeef It looks like he uses either a really old version of Logic Pro, or one of those free german sequencers. If you're looking for a good program, get Logic Pro 9, or pro-tools.

[CTRTrichome]

looking at these older videos you can see how your "skills" have improved alot of the years.

[XxXFailTrainXxX]

What up with all the fags hating on the vid? How can u not like this, i would like to see them do better...

[JackFlexMUSIC]

Impressive

[idrumfofun1100]

This is the freakin' bees knees.

[jacobbuzz985]

THAT WAS FUCKIN AUSOME

[thedrumster21]

what kind of mic setup do you have for your kit?

[detrimentalflame]

It helps when your crazily sick at making the drum bits.

[Mathenarus]

While this is great, it sounds SO much better as the full song "collage" imho...

[augenmaugen]

What kind of china is that? It looks like a sabian, but I can't tell what model

[hugio55]

@augenmaugen Sabian B8Pro 20 " some of the B8 Pros dont sound to bad, surprisingly

[augenmaugen]

Nice! It does sound really good, I'm pleasantly surprised.

[hackehackomock]

dude get some decent headphones and protect your ears!! good job though

[specialkid2113]

Your traditional grip is really lackin on technique, I would suggest going back to Match, It should give you cleaner hits, and More in time, Other than that, it was pretty awesome!

[Gurbzors]

i so wish it was longer :( now i have to keep putting it on again..

but srsly, keep playing :)

[huntergirlaa]

been can u send me the song on skype serch huntergirlaa i will use it and credit it and i needed some video of u in it ok sen em on skype!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LaCruzSkateboadingLM]

Great song!!! Ben, where can i buy it? I can't find it on iTunes store!!!

[hugio55]

[adamzanutter]

[Greennailpolish17]

I really like this song. Is it available to download?

[72brad23]

O.M. Ben lol i like it. It makes it sound better than just One Man band lol. Great stuff

[TheMonkeyTookMyHat]

inspiring

[72brad23]

in my opinion, you may get some more views, if you name it something other than one man band (now on itunes!!!!) thats just me, because one man band, is kind of.. takin? well, used at any rate, by other people, and maybe if you name had a little bit more, finess to it, you may get more views and positive remarks. Great stuff man

[alguitarex]

is he using fruityloops on the computer to record everything and apply digital sounds?

[civvys]

win pure win

[CrashBandicoot1990]

Where i can find mp3 of this music ? =)

[meecka]

Ok , i think i comment here 3 times now .... realy man i'am a fan now , like jenkees fan and now like yours ,... but my Q is ... Where the hell i find the full version of this song cus i'll buy it!!!

[BGood156]

Search for Ben Meyers on iTunes, and you'll find some of his stuff.

[arlothellama]

Man this is great! Really really tasteful, never stop making music. =D

[iLLstrumentals]

Hey Ben!

What publishing site did you use for iTunes?

[hugio55]

"Tunecore"

it seems decent, just takes forever to hear from iTunes... litteraly like 6 months. but good luck with it!

Got to love Ronald Jenkees

[hugio55]

noob,,,,,

[mwest5281]

ha ha your funny..........noob

[DrumNBum]

what a guy, thinking ur spolied, dumb ass, i comented on ur other vids b4, i think this sounds good, um my one speaker is broken but it sounds like u need more bass, underneath of everything, like a cello perhaps?, ur drums sound great for this type of music btw, very sharp sounding, kinda like a likin park feel to ur music. at more attack to ur bass druma dn snare, u need to fix those soudns and over i think ur stuff is getting better man, gj

[JParoro]

Nevermind the negative comments man,thanks for posting and keep jammin out,ur good, thats all there is to it.Peace!

[aliengtr]

stick with it you could be neil peart jr

[purplesully]

rich kid with a lot of time on his hands. . . .  music wasn't bad

[hugio55]

not rich bro!

[ir4711]

Some people just know how to handle their money wiser than others. They also get a decent job when they can to get that money.

[Mesciorno]

Maybe it's just me, but what's so special about this video?

Ok, you're quite good on the drums...

And you can create music with FL Studio...

But what's so great about that? :$

Nothing personal to the owner, but I hear a lot people saying this is great....

[drummer4life53]

dog. whatchu got to show son?

[hugio55]

hahaha

[0AcrossAmerica0]

I'd have to agree. Work on mixing / eq'ing those drums, sman. Especially when against such clean sounding synths, they sound a tad abrasive. And (this is just my opinion), but get more adventurous with your progressions! Prog is best when it's complicated.

Keep it up, dude.

[fivestarfool]

ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨ post to 3 other vids

[lhlee888]

haha good good this shows trad grip

[7h3d4rkw0lf]

my god thats awesome...

i can do the drums (im a drummer) but writing the rest is just... pfft ill break someones eardrums before i make anything like this

[Dziee]

the beginnin is a bit linkin parkish, but when the hihg tones come in not any more, cool though

[Greennailpolish17]

This is my fave. Is it still on itunes?

[JesusisMyGrandson]

Really good shit. If you acted like you were retarded though like Ronald Jenkees youd get a lot more support.

[JBhab30]

Is Ronald Jenkins acting or is he just like that? i just heard about him today.

[JesusisMyGrandson]

he's acting... he acts like hes "different" to get more support.. i mean people think hes an autistic savant... so they support him. i forget what his real name is... but he graduated from some university with a degree in music. i mean hes really good... seriously.. amazing. but he gets the publicity that he does because he acts like hes retarded. just google "ronald jenkees fake" and you'll see it all. its kind of sad.

[vinny1989x]

your the fuckin retard.

[JesusisMyGrandson]

*YOU'RE*

or was that meant to be ironic?

[vinny1989x]

lololololololol

[apocalypse369]

where can i find this song on Itunes, i cant find it and whats it called.

[hugio55]

hmm i think the easiest way would be the link in the description, but if that isnt working just hit me up another message.

thanks =]

[scorz2002]

ben man send me a download link for this, i'd relaly like to put it on my music library! This song is SICK!!!!!!!!!!!

[apocalypse369]

naw im pretty serious you got potential to match him.

[apocalypse369]

looks like we got ourselves the next ronald jenkins.

[hugio55]

ya right! haha i wish

[southnyourmind]

do you do this, like serious, or for fun? because if you do this for fun....id like to send you some tracks one day...with no drums, and you add drums to it.....nothing serious though...so basically...no money involved..im broke...

[hugio55]

110% fun bro. ya i would be totally cool with doing a colab project. i just finished one and the final copy is being rendered right now so within hours it will be up, tell me if its kind of what you are thinking of

[southnyourmind]

well im working on one now for you....sorta slow...tempo 123...deep bassline, sine sorta....electric piano..organs....don't wanna do to much..just need you to add some killer drums....

[hugio55]

yo check out my most recent vid, tell me if its what u are thinking of, just with the style of your music

[808KenG]

nice.

[hunterz1inhk]

good work man...

i wouldnt be worring about how much the drum kit is .. how much iis the software

[hugio55]

not too bad. Logic Studio is 500, but it lasts for EVER so i looked at it as an investment and i am still paying my parents back 20$ a month, but its so worth it. so many possibilities are open with just one box of cd's

[bassjamz]

holy shiz that looks like a 3000 $ drumset and your what like 14?

[hugio55]

try about 1100 and im 17, now.. haha

[coolapples7]

lol beno i saw the exact same kit at duet with music. lol i wanted it :P

[bunzigga]

great control with your left hand on the snare......it sounds so crisp!

[blacksideknight3]

isnt it lonely being in a band by urself?

[hugio55]

hahaha one would think that...

but naaa im always with the most important friend to me.

music .

thats all i need

[joff678]

this kinda sounds like a mix of muse and unkle

which is a good thing to me. (Y)

[stevebo666]

bloody fucking hell!

dude go and get ritch

and send me a cd ^^

[icavash119]

Really good stuff, blew my mind.

[cr8silverbullet]

this is the most rediculously awesome beat ive heard in a while man, keep it up,,, and i mean it :]

[hugio55]

hahahaah thanks

[badboyluke94]

wow this is well good how long did it take to make?

[Darkprince1045]

that little cymbals thing u got going on had me from the start. You could make someone of yourself. Keep at it.

[hugio55]

thanks man, i appreciate your comments. you seem like a really interesting person.

thanks

ben

[Marspyramids]

Nice fusion of technology and percussion.

[ThePianoSkitFiasco]

very nice. you got some skills bro. i wish you good luck on your sales on itunes

[notgoodwithgirls]

wow!

[ThoseCriminals]

What an amazing person, "If money is an issue pm me"

That's somone who enjoys making music, enjoys you enjoying it aswell, and isn't just in it for money ;D

Too bad there aren't many bands like that anymore.

And this is a One Man Band just because its MIDI doesn't make it any less, When you go to a studio as a full band and they digitally master your sound does that make you any less of a band? :X

[hugio55]

thank you for this grateful comment. you have no idea how much listeners like you inspire me. off the charts bro.

thanks

ben

[drewthedrummer]

Good job buddy. You remind me alot of myself. I have been slacking though. You kick but dude so keep it up!

[SamberSamkor]

Right. You've got lot of money, you bought Cubase. Or maybe you hacked it. Anyway, your drum style's good, I like it. But Why One man Band ? That's just MIDI. You're not playing all instruments at the same time...

[hugio55]

no well thats logic pro, not cubase. and ya i bought it for christmas, i dont have that much money man. and what classifies a "band" i think thats a lil rash, perhaps?

[pjdallas1]

I bought OneManBand Collage on iTunes because the sound is great and I want to see this become a great way to independent artists to get their work out to the masses.......... NICE SOUND.......

[hugio55]

thank u! i appreciate it

=]

ben

[TheSourDieselToad]

EPIC!

[rapperyz]

Man the beginning of the music hooked me to listening the whole video...although i already saw this video before...but it still awesome...

[BrandonHawk21]

dude you gotta show me how to use the mixer and compile that!! anyway, your a beast dude

[atle13valan]

BTW, I got chills :P

[atle13valan]

Hello Ben!! youre a pretty damn good composer ;D keep going like that! <3

[UpsideDecoy]

damn this is crazy

[typicalday]

wow this is pure music genius it gave me the chills...this is amazing great job

[BlackTaxiProductions]

ur shit is awsome i got one of yo songs on i tunes

[kane220]

Oh c'mon nice, something with vocals would be nice. :)

[andrewfrazee]

what the hell....this was insane...keep the good work up

[hugio55]

haha "what the hell" scared me at first haha

=]

ben

[AndrewKesler]

not bad. A better drum sound would've been nice, but if you don't have the equipment yet nothing much you can do.

[splejx]

very nice but to short...

[patriconde]

suena muy bien man!

[zxw612]

When I see talent like this I become very sad. Here is a very talented musician who is almost completely unknown yet some of the pop artists today can't tell a trumpet from a violin and are rich beyond belief

[ReptarOnCrack]

I Totally Agree. =(

[hugio55]

thanks guys. you have no idea what that means to me.

=]

-ben

[specialkid2113]

Invest in Microphones for your drums!

[hugio55]

no, i work a job all year long 30 hours a week. maybe you should do the same in stead of make rude comments on youtube. get out of your basement eh?

[treeZon1]

shouldnt u be in skool?....im just saying that man...you obviously have amazing talent..im jus sayin ur lucky to have all this shit...i worked during a summer n bought mpc1000 turntables and a key board...getn new gear soon...i can also play drums and guitare...i quit violin at like 8 yrs old....movin on to hiphop now man....but keep this up i am jelous for real...and yo if ya have time check my beats out..keep on bro

[ned316]

i think ur comment was great...what a shame ppl dont hv a sense of humour and..get all defensive & MOOD SWINGS..

haha watch how i get thumbs down

[clfl02]

good one you man! its hard to have people see the vision that we have sometimes and doing all this by yourself is the way forward! peace

[juggaspark]

its hard to wana socialise when u can make tunes like this :P

[KALSoundProductions]

Love the synth lead part

[SolRosenberg84]

Reminds me of the Flashbulb - except more electronic.

Excellent keep it up.

[zakfmt]

this is very good. reminds me of muse a little. good stuff.\

[superiorTimo]

Freaking legit man!

Most coolest shit i ever heard.

[x0scimy0x]

sick song man! try an get it longer

[dudesirule2]

This is amazing!

Make it longer!

You have talent.

[72brad23]

this should be longer. Great song, just needs to be a bit longer in my opinion

[Skippyfy]

Awesome song. make more ! : )

[yooareawesome]

Man, i'm sure you've spent plenty of money on your equipment and i sure as hell would like to see more of your talents, videos, and songs.

I will DEFINITELY pay the 99cents for your songs, hopefully others will too so that it can add up and help you buy new equipment and such.

[hugio55]

dang thanks man, you have no idea how much stuff like this helps =] really.

Really appreciate it =]

Ben

[masterbastard0]

Yo Ben, I feel as though OMB should be something else. Not that I'm trying to be disrespectful but I've seen a lot of people who preform as a One Man/Woman Band.

[jcweiss87]

Way to go Ben! Wish I could get into music....

[pwnagelicious]

that sick drumming

[ofirharlev]

really liked it, without a doubt great talent.

something felt a little raw though...can't put my finger on it.

[fnkdrmr86]

that sucked......really bad drummer too...........sorry

[hugio55]

surprising... no vids of u drumming... O_o

[ClassicJustice]

once again... PRO. i just downloaded this song. u kick ass bro

[meecka]

from where did u dload this song ?

[Gurbzors]

Ben, i think this is awesome, but make a longer version man, now i have to rewind it so much :P

[skittykillzz]

you should cresendo in and decresendo out :P

[drummer4life53]

dude what are you talking about? thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard.

[pwnagelicious]

fuck u this guy is sick id fucking like to see u do any better bitch

[drummer4life53]

I was talking about that guys comment not the video. I'm really good friends with hugio55 I'm not gonna call his stuff dumb.

[hugio55]

haha ryan... always gettin urself somewhere you dont want to be haha

oh and thank you pwnagelicious for the defense =] i really appreciate it. 'means alot.

ben

[masterbastard0]

Nah It sounds better without it fading in or out. Either one would sound unnecessary because of the lead in the beginning and the ending

[infamuzblayze]

incredible nice to meet someone else wit incredible talent maybe we could do something on fl sometime

[steffanan]

so how many songs have u actually sold? and how much do you get for each song? you are doing a good job at showing your music off like here on youtube..thats how i discovered it actually, and bought it lol. but i am seriously looking into putting my stuff onto itunes, and i just am curious what the cost is, and what your personal turnout with it is..and other stuff, please let me know. your music rocks!

[masterbastard0]

After watching a whole bunch of different music related vids I now wonder what would happen if alot of the people on youtube who make killer music decide to make a big collaboration. It would be like painting a mural with vibrant sounds and clever artists..

[hugio55]

haha dude that sounds ill, im in if it happens! hahaha

[masterbastard0]

I could try if that really does happen, but I need more practice with music in general first. FL studios is great to make Am songs but you will eventually need to learn to make recorded songs. I see you've got quite the head start on that my friend and applaud you for such caliber at such a young age. Keep rocking and keep learnin' music, man. :)

[infamuzblayze]

hell yea include me lol i do rap techno rnb and rock

[hugio55]

do u use mac or pc?

[pnowzrd]

that's great man.

what editing software do you use? I need a new program
