Donnie Marple: Check out new band: myspace.com/elmwoodband

[jangel2771]

haha travis barker started crying when he saw this.

[glitchflaw]

im in love with you

[kylewagoner]

The reason I look up to you so much is that your talent is actually applicable to music and in a band setting. Some people just learn to play drum fills really fast and throw their drumsticks around and make a "solo" out of it.

[StaticVShock]

Thanks bro. Your vocabulary is filled with great combonations. Thanks for 1:15-1:17.

[the2ora]

i would liked to said Borlai Gergő. (in hes best video, he is in a red T-shirt):)

[the2ora]

you need to see that guy. You're both the greatest drummer in the world! Really;) ! (a Hungarian fan :)  )

[mrdrummer91derful]

What song is this?

[drummermahn]

[kickinitonthetube]

[smurfhunterguy]

[Zuperdrummer]

[blurgenizer55]

[Daggerhart]

Pretty tight. I wish there were musicians like you around where I live.

[dandrums1]

he is way better than travis.agreed

[TruthDrummer65]

This guy is way better than travis. I dont see why people think travis barker is the best drummer in the world.

[xs20drummer]

it's cause people are stupid

[patman173]

rofl....people that think that are musically retarded

[neri65]

Travis is a punk rock drummer.. he is really good at playing punk rock but he is pwned at gospel/jazz.. and these type of stuff Donnie is playing. But people love him because they like watching him play.. because he looks cool and idk LOL

[MariusX2]

I hate Travis barker he's not that great I agree with you 100%

[arthurhox]

@MariusX2 dont say u hate him just because u are not so into his drumming skills n style =]] i dont think he is the best drummer or even close to it BUT hate is a uncalled word for that situation (:

[MariusX2]

I guess but I can hate who ever I want.

[martinryan8484]

-Nice...ALMOST as good as Travis Barker.

[THEpearldrummer]

oh hey bud. the ppl who watch this are really gonna like your comment. cheers.

[xs20drummer]

[THEpearldrummer]

[ziyadelkadar]

congratulations, musical, technicall, feeling and nice toys to do so. i can see that you are better than me. but i can say if you can be more freely or a bit agressive with cymbals..will be close to perfect fussion drummer. I can see your Weckl''s influence.When develope your own style...i''ll go clinics with you.

[domen71]

Of course the drumming in this video is great. But I love the song. It is so well composed.

[NERDZKANDY]

man that was like fast foward in the end, your frekin fast man! man...

[queasycheesy]

holy crap.

your groove going from ride to hi hat is freakin insane O_O

[fnkdrmmr]

This guy is really good. Nice technique and feel (which is something most drummer's today don't have). He's sounds like he belongs with Chick Corea or Weather Report - he's on that level.

[acdczeppelin93]

dude your fucking great, got rythem bro

[gizmo2084]

Nice! :D

P.S. You should move the camera a bit towards the right so we can see the high-hat technique.

[SimplyKarlos]

where can i get backing tracks like these??

[cedybearnaar]

I'd like to know that aswell!

[njchproductions]

i LOVE Elmwood Band!

IT ROCKS!

Peace!

[freshootoot]

i hate jazz....but that was sum nice drumming

[david30918]

Is that the catalina maple kit or the renowned maple kit?

[dmarple]

Gretsch New Classic!

[tattooedandbeautiful]

@david30918 It a renowned MARPLE kit!

[Japath007]

sweet!

I like anything w/ a good groove...you've got ALL that! keep drummin!

[SoBeastProductions]

ur great. cobus is overrated

[Elpaco1995]

yea he is but hes still an awesome drummer. more of a groove kinda guy.

[rockster10101]

WOOOOW!!!!

That was fucking insane!!!!

[drumatic]

and just so you don't misconstrue what i'm trying to say... i have nothing against drummer's like the Weckster... he's brilliant! I just hate this weather channel jazz shit! + peas

[alee6406]

hahahah

worddd

[Meteors916]

I think its just something to practice to.

[bradfick147]

it is a bit repetitive i know but this music is rhythmically perfect to do differant stuff with, guitar, bass, drums, etc. but i know what you're saying.

[drumatic]

sorry dude - i can't stand 80's jazz... shit ain't nothing compared to fusion era of Cobham, Gadd and Williams... But your drumming is incredible nonetheless, got any fusion tracks?

[111lb111]

billy cobham is one of my favorite drummers how is the jazz that cobham plays any different then the one my dude marple is playing to i dont really hear no differance.

[drumatic]

You're listening to the wrong fusion albums if you can't hear the difference. How does this style of music even compare to Spectrum, Inter Mounting Flame, or Hymn of the Seventh galaxy? Ask yourself that same question. hahaha.

[nh0syn0htn4]

donnie, you're my hero. and i somewhat mean it :] you remind me of tommy igoe for some reason. anyways, keep it up the good work!

[vissonari]

lol hate the song love your drumming

[jts024]

best drumming video on youtube

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

dude! this is the most amazing stuff! i wanna start a band with u!!!

[PulseBase]

Beautiful drumming, interesting and a pleasure listening. Congrats.

[PulseBase]

Beautiful drumming, interesting and a pleasure listening. Congrats.

[DruMmMeuR]

Oh my!

That's very very very high level!!!

You give me energy with that video and I will practice more.

How do you create so much different ideas...

[sithreaper]

Very cool.

[sillyred4]

omg!thats the snare sound ive been looking for.u and mike portnoy have it..

[MarimbaVirtuoso]

Great playing! And nice track!

[emskie717]

nice!

[insanedrummer89]

dudde

i love the hi hat clean foot splashing

on the quarter notes while jamin out

nice.

[daDruMM3r]

wow very well done!!

how long have u been playing?

and what brand is ur kit? =)

cheers,

[raulbarrientos007]

clean all throughout

are you a session drummer?

[LSweener012]

not only does he have speed and accuracy, the best part of his playing is his pure feel for the music, and his accents and ghost notes are perfectly placed within a steady rhythm. amazing.

[dwdanjo12]

wow bro that was great man..its me your boy Daniel Rodriguez from drum off 2006.....sound good pops....

[Marky6664]

Thats Amaazing, New Kind Of Drumming I Love It Keep It Up! :D x

[lildrummerboy699]

Wayyy different style, and I really like it. Usually when you type in "cool drumming" or "great drumming" death metal with double bass the whole time comes up. This is new and refreshing, I've never seen drumming like this before. Keep it up!

[Chrisser90]

WOW nice start and nice video :-D...

[raultorres7765983]

your really good bro,keep it up.

[coton290]

I saw South African trumpet player Hugh Masequela playing in a little bar in Pittsburgh back in 1975 and I liked his drummer better.

[rxbert24]

tht was pretty random

[bendrumsalot415]

You're such an awesome drummer, not just cause of the skill. Just creativly, you just let it flow, and your kinda loose with the timing but still right on which sounds awesome. Keep up the awesomeness. (Id love to see you jam out on of the tunes like on Thomas Langs tracks, like the heavier stuff)

[jahwhew]

mega congrats on winning the drum off!

[hadrian3689]

may i ask what is the name of this song?? I want to play it?

[huntdog13]

nice

[dentonmymy]

diggin all over the work, hate the hat though. Oklahoma fan here! lol

[dmarple]

LOL! Its cool. Thanks for the comment though. Good luck with everything you do. LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS! Just kiddin'! God Bless!

[TrommisKarl]

you use cymbals more than any other drummer i have ever seen, and i love it ^^ god bless you

[RickyDavid]

dang dude good job, hey what cymbals are your using they sound amazing

[keysofdee]

Zildjian K Hybrids! I love those cymbals

[padistedor]

Really nice fills. Amazing speed and never once did you hit a rim or click the sticks together accidentally.

[mwilli32]

WOW! Great playing!

[nicksalgo]

This is sweet man! Congratulations on winning the Drum Off. I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing you more often.

[fredbaterista]

Good job... excellent

[brownpaiste]

phat groove

[drumkid900]

Your an inspiration to me. ever since i saw your drum off video i've been practicing everyday. Keep up the great work. i would like to see more videos of your drumming soon.

[DRUMKINGZ]

I SEE YOU SON!!!!!!KEEP PRACTICING

[hadrian3689]

I have to say it: Got enough cymbals there buddy?

(favorite part 2:00 2:20) I love the toms and snare groove.

[ZildjianDrummer244]

Awesome job Donnie!!

[hbdrummerms]
