David Letterman - Justin Bieber Plays The Drums

[misterbuckethead]

hey folks, i despise his music and everything he stands for but if you're going to say that he's not killing it on the drumset here then you're just being biased. He's not the next john bonham or anything obviously, but he is at least marginally skilled at drums.

[jroxcod]

this kid sucks at drums...i dnt mean to hate on him but f hes been playin since two he sucks.

[misslekkerpuh]

It's pretty impressive for a kid who taught himself to play

[MyVideoHubOnDell]

@misslekkerpuh His drums fucking suck.

[SuperBspb]

@misslekkerpuh Actually it's pretty mediocre for someone playing that long.

[misslekkerpuh]

@SuperBspb I agree, but he hasn't even had any lesson. I wouldn't say he sucks..

[idrinkwhatbaby]

justin beaver

[Elinab3rgman]

Justbeats, I WANT THOSE

[daddlepops]

Same old beat. :/

[TheMusicDude1997]

[force9169]

wow this is the first video i see him changing the pattern lol and he's not bad

[SuperBspb]

JB is an awesome drummer. And by JB I mean John Bonham.

[wiredmanproductions]

@SuperBspb It's Jason Bonham asshole... get it right!

[SuperBspb]

@wiredmanproductions No it's not... It's John... Where the fuck did you get Jason? We are talking about the Led Zeppelin drummer right?

[IdkWhatiWantMyName2b]

@SuperBspb i was about to rage, but then i finished reading it lol

[LittleTrupp]

every video I see of him playing drums, he's playing THE SAME BEAT AND FILLS!!!!!!!! did I mention he sucks?

[kooldaug]

David Lettermen: 'The star of the upcoming film, Justin Beaver Never say never. I would have said the same lol coz its fun taking the piss out of the biebs.

[gingerbredm4n]

ive been playing 2 years and i can play 10x better than him

[Indoctrination]

he hit the mics like 3 times in a row

[bosiblast]

I like JB and all but I have been playing a little over a year and he is horrible compared to me.

[horseluvr63]

@bosiblast hes been playing for 15 so suck it...

[bosiblast]

@horseluvr63 15 what?!

[horseluvr63]

@bosiblast years he has been playing for 15 years and this was simple to play ustin is amazing at the drums can you do the thinbltcoeetg on the end there that he did?

[bosiblast]

@horseluvr63 yes I can do the thinbitcoeetg and I've been playing for a year

[daks5122]

HIT HIM WITH A WATER BOTTLE!

[TheLegendkiller83007]

[TheLegendkiller83007]

[ErooMLehcaR]

[xBieberfulLifex16]

So sexy

[MarioSamusLink1]

[MarioSamusLink1]

@MarioSamusLink1 

[MarioSamusLink1]

If you want to see a real drummer watch?v=h8gdIci8XPk this guy's chops kill you then

eat you for dinner

[123Nikkie456]

swear he's saying justin biever :O

[SuperSeanzo]

1:38 If he was actually playing that fast the camera wouldn't catch it....good job speeding over the video and dubbing other drums over top mr letterman.

[KageegeeDJ]

It seems justin plays the same beat everytime...the same FUCKING BEAT

[bailout10x]

at 1:38 i cant even though i have experience in drumming since i was 7

[teambotwin45]

KEEP YOUR NON ACCENT NOTES LOWER

[superchill36]

For a second there I though Justin Beiber might be better at me on the drums...lol.

[amandapants23]

@superchill36 who is Justin Beiber?

[fp9155]

you suck bieber. you have no chops at all you play the same shit everytime you're not a drummer stop trying to pose as one

[elsephen]

@fp9155 you're right. He's NOT a drummer so get off the kid's nuts. Christ... the amount of hate this kid gets from a bunch of bitter ass jealous adults is embarrassing. He does this shit on the side like it's nothing... how many things are you this good at that aren't your #1 hobby? Kid is pretty much good at anything he picks up. Let him have his fun with it....

[infectedbh]

The other day I ate chile chipotle and my farts sound the exact same way! Despite, they had a little more beat.

[kandrejjab]

little fucker!he plays the same thing every time



[GROVER13wizard]

этот дурак убил всё железо.

[ANGELROSE960]

bieber, fuck you!

[MsPROOFthatGODexists]

@ANGELROSE960

...HAHA!! Jealous little bitch!! YOU KNOW HE ROCKS..,.that's why you're stalking him, faggot! :) Keep making him rich....Beliebers THANK YOU!! lol!

[FretsonFireMuse]

Honestly, he's not terrible. But he's that good either. I'm not a drummer so I can't say every detail but it looked pretty sloppy.

[billo008]

lol

[ricciagbayani]

You just cant accept that his better than you .

[mytimeisapieceofwax]

You know, for playing since he was 2 years old, he really blows. 

[horseluvr63]

@mytimeisapieceofwax really how long have you been playing? how good do you think you are? i would like to see you two in a drum off my money on Justin Bieber you douche bag...

[mytimeisapieceofwax]

@horseluvr63 I was about to say "bring it" but then I realized I don't care who you are... I've been playing for six years btw.  Don't bother replying.

[horseluvr63]

@mytimeisapieceofwax dont tell me what to do aaand hes been playing for 14 so go blow a goat...

[horseluvr63]

@horseluvr63 i meant 15

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@mytimeisapieceofwax his playing is generic, that's it...when you say he blows you make it sound like he actually sucks at drums....he plays everything dead on.

[mytimeisapieceofwax]

@xxxslayerxxx666 Sweet...

[Benjomatic]

@xxxslayerxxx666 Exactly. I don't understand why people hate this kid so much. Go and listen to something else if you don't like it, but he can keep time, and as a drummer, that's fundamentally the thing you need to be able to do.

[solarpeace1]

@Benjomatic he has no groove at all

[iamwatchnurvideo]

Hekilledit...

[benmberman]

He smashes Ringo out of the park.

[jacobparasite]

@benmberman You sir are an ass-chode. yes. your ass is chode shaped.

[MrPoppy32]

@benmberman please tell me you were joking.........

[benmberman]

@MrPoppy32 Ever heard Ringo Starr play the drums? I've only ever heard two drummers worse; the one from the Shaggs and Meg White of the White Stripes. And Meg White vs. Ringo is a difficult choice.

[asdfcrow]

haha 1:30 , trombone player's face is priceless

"what the fuck is this kid doing"

[themoaspecial]

@asdfcrow Hahahaha I saw that! That was hilarious!!

[ToolsnFire]

@asdfcrow naw, he was just waiting his time to blow the horn. Bieber can play drums as good as plenty of no-name band drummers can. He's an average amateur drummer, or better.

[asdfcrow]

@ToolsnFire Yeah, I have to agree, he's not that great, but he's not nearly the worst.

to be honest, I think that the the people who waste so much energy directing hate toward him give him the most attention. I just thought that the trombone player's expression was amusing, and that he did not deserve to be on drum solo week.

[beastjr666]

HE CAN ONLY PLAY ONE FUCKING BEAT

[ashfi1994]

Don't know why people are commenting about how his drumming isn't that great.

He's not famous for his drumming - he makes popular songs. And he can dance and play the drums too - doesn't have to be the best at it.

[BittenMitten]

@ashfi1994

the fact that he acts like he's good is a slap in the face to ALL drummers.

therefore we hate him.

[themoaspecial]

@ashfi1994 It's not that he's not the best at drums. It's that he's the WORST at the drums when he thinks he's good (just look at the trombone player's face at 1.30) and as BittenMitten said, it's a slap in the face to all drummers who genuinely work hard to get shows that he's playing drums in.

[getkristan]

He's a talented guy. But... like.. maybe "best in the highschool" talented. Not more.

[Doubleaabatterycru]

he's nothing compared to Will Ferrel

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@Doubleaabatterycru you mean chad smith?

[quax94]

>hitting the drums real fast

>thinks he's good

[27chomp]

he always does the same fills and somebody marks when he has to do it

[bilar444]

Is he seventeen ?? looks like 14 or sumthing :S

[5secLAUNCH]

LOL he's an open left drummer....how does he hit the ride...NEWB!!

[RuBeNtrademarK]

he's not bad.

But he is not talented

[jamieg1tube]

Little bastard can play!

[skiptomelou25]

I HAVE TO ADMIT HE'S GOOD

[jackransell]

@skiptomelou25 he sucks...

[feelingsohigh]

why did i watch this bullshit? Why did anyonenatch this bullshit?

[NTenshow]

I bet he's better @ skin flute.

[ArmyRangerish]

even lars is better

[Localdrummerweb]

@ 1:15 Anton Fig is thinking about killing himself

[BrokenSMG]

he doesnt even hold his sticks right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrBartoszka]

ciota -.-

[Katyperryduh1]

wow he's so hot when he's drumming.

[anewell41]

@Katyperryduh1 Girls like you fuck this world up haha

[HellraiserMcGee]

Drum solo is so repetitive.. Just like the rest of his shitty ass songs.

[aihoschema]

O.K. why is he behind the band, surrounded by band members providing him with cues? Why isn't he on an extra stage like all the famous drummers? Why is the rhythm so friggin' easy? Why no camera angls from above or showing his footwork? And: why: no solo?????

C'mon guys: there are thousands of people, out there, his age or younger, who can do this way better. Yust check right here on Youtube.

Anyone replying: can YOU do that? Answer: you bet!

[elsephen]

@aihoschema No one cares that you can do that. What we (honest people) do think is kind of cool- is that this kid does this stuff on the side while taking trips around the world nonstop, can also dance, sings decent, plays guitar, can beat your kid at basketball and/or soccer, etc etc etc etc.... The question is- is there anything he's BAD at?... I doubt he'd brag much about his drumming.

[re5owns678]

wow that was an incredibly complex and difficult piece there LMAO!!!

[ZOSOrulz1]

meh still a faggot

[CoCoAwsomo151]

He doesn't know how to play properly and without tensing up

[CoCoAwsomo151]

Hey Justin how bout lowering your stick heights, learn some rudiments and then play some different fills for once.

[landyachtfan79]

So, he can play the drums, not just stand there & look "hot".......HOW DO YOU LIKE HIM NOW, FANGIRLS?!!!

[DeeJayJive]

Not to be a hater, but as an actual drummer, his drumming is so distasteful. The beat is extremely ugly and annoying and the fills are unfitting and out of place.

Sorry kid, you can sing, but drums just aren't your thing.

[00bikeboy]

@DeeJayJive Yea? how good were you at 16 years old? The kid's got talent, you've got envy.

[DeeJayJive]

@00bikeboy First off, I'm younger than him, and I play jazz/funk/rock/fusion. I'm no prodigy, but I'll assure you I'm a far better drummer. (not to sound egotistic)

[00bikeboy]

@DeeJayJive So you're younger than him but refer to him as "kid"? Ok, I accept you're a better drummer than him. But he's clearly got more going for him than drumming, right?

[DeeJayJive]

@00bikeboy I never said he didn't. The girls love him and he's got a great voice, I don't deny that.

[mainlymusicman]

@DeeJayJive shit, if you asked me, drumming is the best thing he does....

[SassiFrassGirl08]

@DeeJayJive well last time i checked, he gets payed for being a "distastful drummer" and you dont. so let him play how he wants to play

[Zubinina]

@DeeJayJive What does a "nice/beautiful" beat sound like? Is there someone who is, in your opinion, a good/great drummer? Who are they and what makes them so? I know Justin isn't the best drummer in the world blah, blah, blah, so I'm just wondering what you, as someone who has spoken against his drumming, prefers.

[DeeJayJive]

@Zubinina I listen to Steve Gadd and Buddy Rich.

[polarbear19955]

@DeeJayJive lol he cant yes cant even sing

[TheRedmist14]

wow i never thought anyone could make playing the drums gay

[TheNerdAmigo]

The problem is he belongs to the music industry, he should leave all that clothing and commercial stuff and there you have a great musician who's not hated by every person on earth.

[lexievv]

dude if u got a bit practice u can teach nearly every1 this -_-''

[DonFranklinJr]

not bad... somewhat impressed

[macarthur19]

Oh, Justin. Why couldn't you put your musical talents to good use. So much potential.

[ty2]

people just think that he is this stupid kid who got lucky and gets attention when he has nothing to offer, but he really is talented. He plays just about everything from the drums to piano and guitar. He sings. He dances. He even raps. He is really good at all of that stuff. He is not just ok or so so at anything he does.

[AlecRozsa]

1:23 the trumpet player is like "Wtf...i rehearse trumpet for years and years...all for this?!" and at 1:33

[AlecRozsa]

1:23 the trumpet player is like "Wtf...i rehearse trumpet for years and years...all for this?!"

[ThePeopleschamp92]

Yo im a drummer 2 but yuh are crazy good bruh

[dudeman7915]

@ThePeopleschamp92 then you should quit if you think justin beiber is good

[RealMusicLyricVids]

Thanks for making me feel good about my drumming :D

[jumpy27]

I think he's better as a drummer than as a singer...

[yoyager6567]

Justin could of had a career as a DnB artist not this homo pop bull crap.

[EvilEyeStudio]

Justin BEAVER :P

[TheRebeccazhong]

@TheFoxytots I would also know what you are rambling on about if you could spell and make sense.

[TheFoxytots]

justin beiber he can play......lol.........ill give him that much yeah play one beat and the beginner fills......

[YazoProductions]

I think he's pretty good. I drum. He's not the best, not the worst. What more can I say? 

[YazoProductions]

@TravisBags Yeah, isn't it hard without fingers? I've never really tried to go that fast without using fingers.

[TheRebeccazhong]

To all the haters: why don't you release two albums, go on a few world tours, get 40 million fans? Oh and while you're at it, go win yourself some Grammy awards as well.

[TheFoxytots]

@TheRebeccazhong we would if we sang but we dont we play drums and we know what wew talking about so shut the hell up..........herp de derp

[larzakajugganot]

@TheRebeccazhong

the only reason he's made it this far is all the 11 year old girls who think he cute

[LordOfTheMasses]

pretty good for an 8 yr old

[virtaish]

chill. he may not be the best drummer in the whole wide world, and why should you expect him to be THAT good? At least he can play the drums. Stop hating on this kid, he has a good future a head of him and already a successful journey.

[TheFoxytots]

@virtaish well bc you have all these people that think that hes a great and austonding drummer........and well to us drummers who know what hes doing and playing hes not.......that and he gets paid for being average and we dont when most of us work our buts off to be great drummers so natrally its annoying to see someone thats not that good get so much parise for being not that good............that a good enuf anser for ya herp de derp

[49nitramsp]

I admit he is a bit better than decent...almost good lol

[artofmajic]

Atleast he plays better than rihanna

[23lFrench]

He is a decent drummer, nothing more, nothing less.

[misslilmaorigirl]

i just feel in love

[dforcefan1213]

God I can't stand people who play hi hat and snare beats without crossing their arms!!!!

[GingerIpods]

@dforcefan1213 i was thinking the exact same thing haha

[lonerguitarboy2]

dude not to be hating but what happened to REAL MUSIC? dude im tired of auto tune hes a nice person but he isnt talented in music. recording your real voice over and over until its right pitch is how you do it not auto tuning

[TheJulieAnGiannaShow]

haha u said beaver



[TheMedyxZone]

stfu at last he plays drums and he taught himself how to ... do u expect him to be perfect ?

[benjaminja77]

I wish I could play single stroke fills...

[ACDCNut55]

he makes travis barker sound like john bonham

[ForToday03]

@ACDCNut55 shut the fuck up

[awhite31894]

im glad he can handle the basic beat to a drum set that most 5 year olds can play! he didnt even know how to end the song!

[Globalcashcookie]

i can play better with my dick

[Alicialovestodraw]

LOL

[supermariom1998]

1:22 you can see the guy in the blue suit is digusted by how the drums dont mix with the music at all...

[DaDaDaDrums]

I'm not a hater or troll or whatever but seriously.. Justin is just not good at drums. Yes, he can play some beats and some fills. But c'mon, that takes no talent? He obviously played for a while, but I wouldn't show it off on television if I was that 'good'. Ofcourse people are gonna hate on you if you show off when you have no talent. Don't get my wrong, I mean no talent in drumming. He has talent in other stuff like.. singing.

[ChaosMewtwo10]

Dude. He's good. He's obviously not the best. But takes skill to do that. C'mon guys. Stop being losers because he's a teen idol and is more successful than you.

[adrijanaGaGa]

Well AT LEAST he has REALLY GOOD VOICE , he CAN PLAY DRUMS, he CAN PLAY GUITAR REALLY GOOD, and I fall in love with him when he PLAYS THE PIANO <3 soo....what ever on drums;)

[philisdead4]

lol he would get purple beats by dre

[ecermusic]

@philisdead4 Of course he has purple Beats - they're endorsed by him.

[stratd00d]

He's just mediocre. I mean, he obviously has some practice, but that beat is super simple and doesn't match the mood of the music at all. It's a really simple rock beat that a beginning drum student would learn, and his fills are just random tom hits followed by a crash. He's a talented guy, but he's not an incredible drummer, and if you think differently, you've probably never played drums before.

[orangebowl1]

@stratd00d no you're wrong, even his fills aren't random, he plays the same fill every time too

[applehelpification]

WOW HE'S AMAZING!!

Oh no wait... he's shit.

[Otiswhite777]

hes not bad.

[eruption144]

That is...ok. But you can see that he hits the snare with his right stick. Where usually you play with your arms crossed. js

[fatimaijaz257]

he's so good at it i love you bieber

[prybar62]

@flac0415 u r right in his movie he plays the same exact beat throught his entire life

[CrusadeFromHell]

this is cute. He ain't good. He's aight. Stop thinking he's that good. Listen to the comments from other drummers, he's AVERAGE.

[mccrazycaligirls]

i love jsutinn so much hes soo amazaing!!!!:)

[VengeanceIsMineBitch]

never listen to his music but he's definitely got talent as an all round performer, and if he wets the panties of pre-pubescent girls good for him.

[cakeschmammert]

I bet he doesn't even realize how incredibly average he is at drums.

[RandomAsian46]

Ah, he's ok. Defiantly not the worst I've seen! And yeah, we should all be jealous! He's making a ton of money for doing what he likes doing!
