Pots and Pans - Greatest New York City Street Drummer - New York City Subway

[j69d]

should of called it Tony 'Dish washer' ... would of attracted more of a modern audicance

[ItsBuckful]

I saw this guy while I was in NY on a business trip! I gave him 100$, I was feeling reaaally generous, don't regret it one bit watching this. He deserves so much more publicity.

[iangoescrunch]

you wanna dance? figh dollas! you wanna video? figh dollas! take a picture? 3 dollas! you gotta hustle those pots and pans man.

[olive5353]

Always something good to see in new york

[jewhonks420]

no fare, he used a snare. You'r telling me you couldn't improvise one? look at all the crap ya got. I'm sure you could find more. Just look around your kitchen, try out a milk crate or something

[fatshoolaces]

2.08 Red jacket guy - Itchydick looool

[DESTROYINGtheNWO]

What he was saying is he wanted $5 to play a song for his dance...he's not there to have a good time, he's there trying to save his own life. How much do we pay for music? This man is willing to provide entertainment for all those people and no one will even give him $5 but they are all enjoying his work. It's BULLSHIT! Give the man his $5!

[johnnyM025]

Yes he spoils it!

[MrPep06]

Empty your pockets and give the guy his $5.00.

[teddybearman14]

the guy who was dancing isn't bad at all, let him fucking dance! The drummer is afraid the dancer is going to steal all the attention... but i would think it would draw more attention and compliment the drummer

[doorsgirl100]

@AnimalTalkBand So why is the most intelligent comment on this video flagged as spam? You made a very articulate statement about supporting the arts, if people don't like what they see or hear they can walk away.

[BuMChUm686]

id smack the shit out of this oak ... he is a dick!!! 5 dollars! and there are better drummers than him,,,

[ablahblah54]

You wanna find talent? Just go to a NY subway station.

[blueshift86]

@ablahblah54 i was there a year ago. Only thing i found there was snobby, arrogant new yorkers who wouldn't help a lost tourist. Never going back! Londoners would actually stop and help but I was blanked by over 10 people and gave up. Not every brown man is a terrorist - lighten up new yorkers!

[metrostar35]

cant be that broke if you got a banner with your name on it lol

[crayyawn]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO let the man dance!

[onli1reese]

..5dollars, i understand that we wana make some money and all but honestly wouldnt it be easier if we all just acted like we were human beings actually coming together especially when we're in new york? smhh this is sad

[contortionlove]

i wonder how many people missed the train.......

[sorealbboy]

In case of emergency, BREAKDANCE!! :D

I love dancing...and I wouldn't care if he told me to pay. I would just go ahead and do it

[MaybexIllxLikexYou]

i guess many people passed their train while wtaching this amazing guy

[ejyo14]

but Tony is a great drummer

[TehEqaz]

LMAO! 5 dolla!! 5 dolla!!!!

[LoSamZayin]

This guy's a hoot. Probably the last reminder of the old Forty Deuce and Times Square before it became Disney, Inc. Square. Too bad there aren't a hundred more like him.

[somar1984]

Should call himself Tony ``FIVE DOLLAR´´

[FlashbackVisions]

love the ending 3:22 - ''5 dolla!'' :D this guy must be on crack lol

[jacstervw]

When we choose sides on band hero...hes on my side for sure haha

[casablancamicasa]

i saw this guy couple of time and i never want to film him,because the only talent he got is yelling 'five dollars',i been filming street artist for ten years,they all want to make a living but nobody act like this shit head!

[phadedlife]

[masterman321]

"5 Dolla"... Foot long.

[Lamtitude]

[PoppedaHead]

Are you sure he's not a chinese bootlegger? asking for Five Dollars.....

[superflywells]

[Bf2MastersMaster]

i would say nice drumming and all that shit but this mother fucker wants 5 dollars every 10 second and how he stopped the bboy every fucking time.

if i was that bboy i would tell this mother fucker to fuck off from their. he doesnt respect others, probably the reason he is on the streets.

[eazyduzitjacob]

this dude should drum for manman

[champloo9]

Someone teach this man a single stroke.

Or a double stroke at least.

Fuck me, I could do this and then some.

[daniellos333]

african americans are the greatest entertainers

[refici222]

[sillymonkey829]

somebody give this man 5 dollars! i mean, i would if i was there.

[selllout101]

lol he may be the greatest.. but hes also the stingiest

[blackfuse27]

fucking epic

[donkids]

That's right man, don't let that dude shine off your beats. $5.00! Lol

[GeometryInStatic]

Who's the man?!?!? POTS AND PANS!!!!

[Guitarded2112]

Like if you thinks this sounds absolutely BOMB with the vuvulezas going?!

[roeKY]

i guess the bboy shirt gave that guy some extra powers to make him think he had some skills 

[MightyBobzilla]

[brian5drake2]

[NineTailsDemonFox]

5 dollars my ass. fuck yourself.

[junnkster]

this man has my respect! Peace!

[scoxdomain]

damn!! hes pro!

[jusmoi]

Actually this guy is great. He is just asking the folks that take pics or videos for the five bucks. Last year when I first saw him, and I tried to take a pic, he would stop and ask for five dollahs...:) This year when we visit NYC I will have a five dollah (as he says it ) bill ready to go.

[ChroniclesOfSpring]

tree fitty...

[toxitty]

1)I'm speacless..2)great job#) he is triyng to make some $:(..its not easy 2 live off the streets

[wierdemopunk]

"gime $5.00!"

[VERONTSI]

crazy fanky rythm....

[pocacasper]

Sounds like dancing in the street

[sersg5]

impresionante que weno q es!!!

[The3nd187]

You got Down Blaq

[StefenWilson747]

the mans trying to make a living! it's not free if ur livin off da streets!

[Aplustradomus]

Preach.

[zipperhead06]

@StefenWilson747 he's actually a pretty famous jazz drummer at small clubs in the NYC area.  This is no way his living.

[STeroidsnicca]

Damn NYC has so much culture. It's a shame any other place the police would break this up....

[mason210]

thats definitely not true.

[STeroidsnicca]

Not true? well of course there are other big cities other  than NYC that would allow this type of thing. But I was thinking of suburban places where old people call the police for everything

[sillyone111]

i really don't think ANY other place in the world

[VerifiedInsanity]

@STeroidsnicca Heh. What many people don't realize is that, these obscenely talented people don't just randomly go to the subways--hence why the NYPD never breaks any of these things up. You have to audition to be able to perform in the subways :) While this may seem like overkill, it leads for me legitimately loving the subways. Yesterday, I saw a four person band and a upcoming singer :D

[leonmcveigh]

whyd he shout 5 dollers and stop, fuckin let the man dance, love not money n all that shit

[VerifiedInsanity]

@leonmcveigh One thing, he was mostly joking. Secondly, you need to make a living somehow, and Tony is basically the best and doing that at what he does.

[Emaantje]

@leonmcveigh yeah man at fist i was like; yeah real nice someone is dancing with him but then he was stopping on all the wrong moments with his stupid 5 dollars.

[solliebollie78]

@leonmcveigh Think he was charging someone filming him, not the bboy dancing..

[t0pb0y25]

@leonmcveigh He shoutin 5 dollars for everyone else to pay to watch the show! small price to pay amongst all them people if you ask me.

[evil99019]

@t0pb0y25 except there's a thing called respect, and this man has none.

[hellopeeplz95]

@evil99019 he lives on the streets. we'd both be a little cranky too

[windmoveswater]

@leonmcveigh Lol, would you go to work and just stay there doing it for no pay just because your Boss is really into the company? No... He's giving a service of showing off talent, pay for it or drop society all together. You can't go on about love and freedom if you can't even give a talented person 5 dollars to play it. Everyone there should realize street performers aren't there just to be liked, they're also there to get money, and why shouldn't they be?

[Clumpfy]

@leonmcveigh

Almost all of you guys misunderstand why, and who he is yelling at! He`s talking to guys standing there for minutes and watching and then just walk off without giving him some dollars. He isn`t talking to the BBoy.

Just wanted to point that out ;)

[biggssss]

@leonmcveigh

Coming from someone thats probably never been broke.

[rwpla]

on one side there are so many so called 'music' bands making trash and being on mtv, on the other side is this...which you find on the streets! i think that called Irony...

[benji0css]

That's not ironic at all you spastic?

[VerifiedInsanity]

@rwpla Actually, that's called "the realization that TV sucks while not all culture is degrading into nothingness," not irony.

[PyroSlakkie666]

I was missing a james brown-ish kind of "HEEEEEEEAAAY!"

[Kneipenterorist305]

Ulltra geil!!!!!!!!!!!!
