Owl City - Tyler Humphrey Drum Cover "Fireflies"

[BL00DsweatGEARS]

I can tell u like travis barker.

[johnnomonno]

So apparently the way you look is more important than the way you drum? Fuck that dude, this is an awesome cover and you're a great drummer!

[TheRealrocker74]

People keep commenting that this guy is a Travis Barker wannabe. Is there something wrong with being influenced with one of the greatest rock drummers of all time? Besides, if it sounds good, who gives a shit? This cover fucking rocks, so the haters need to nut up(and do something better than this) or SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[onetotreesfor]

have no idea why people are so critical on his drumming.

[MrSak159]

man u rock and nice set

[flabbanoonga]

It that a toupee.

[hickyface]

And not a single fuck was given that day.

[AdamMKing4795]

[skylarmcneeley]

[TheDecieved95]

[420jaymac]

this is painful to watch

[lilbj26]

sick set

[roryando]

Was really good but no need for the flashy kit

[CaseyGreen19]

@roryando If you could afford it would you not have one? exactly

[roryando]

@CaseyGreen19 no cause id spend it on other drum stuff haha

[Sazzle96]

<3



[BlOoodMan07]

I love your snare... ;)

[L3ODAG]

Nice sound, nice socks !

[drummergirlz72394]

Where can you get those lights to make your set glow... or at least what are they called?

[Imabeaner2126]

Day 37

Food Supply is low

Still no sign of Forreelmadness's commet..

[ztikmaen]

So what if he moves heaps, he keeps a steady rhythm and it seems to come naturally so there's no stopping it... The way he moves actually makes this cover the most memorable for me

[4000productions]

This is actually my favorite drum cover of Fireflies. Ignore the hate man. Awesome job!

[uncrossedneon]

omg people stop hating gosh you try to do better stupid people these days smh

[an225gd]

travis barker wanna be.............. theres better drummers out there, shocking i know.

[teenixon]

GAY !!!

[UnitFmX11]

The Bieber of drums.

[11enty11]

You have the most ridiculous style....

[jogocown]

i dont know why more people havent watched this....this is AWESOME haha

[pr0xyius]

over reacting to much :/?

[34hd892hf432d54gtf43]

Fuck dude, calm down you aren't playing a heavy metal song....

[leaxues]

nice cover, but for the love of god get a dampener on that snare.

[rosetwitches]

Nice drumming. But damn, Can a person look any more gay playing the drums?? Is it really that hard? Maybe a smaller butt plug would help.

[jackscales2008]

I'll trade you my 15-year-old sister for your kit.

[alexwllrd]

ur kit = sex <3

[Krushurpants]

why the fuuuuuck is this is a skate video playlist ?

[juan2232]

let him play the way he wants... whats the problem..

with this drums.. the song is better than the original..

[17drumdott]

UMm hes not great but last i checked Travis Barker doesn't wear headbands and cardigans so i don't get where your getting Travis other that the kit

[MrDoofDoofHead]

this is actually really good. Good work mate. subbed

[MrDoofDoofHead]

this is actually really good. Good work mate.

[maurits84]

where are your overheads? can;t see them...

[alexwllrd]

Ahh your kit is sexaaay!

[Killerdragon397]

holy jesus! thats awesome bro!

[mrtlmcclary]

good job man very good

[Drumzmer555]

stop hating on this guy. If thats his style so be it. Nothing wrong with that.

[Drumzmer555]

the next travis barker

[MrLiveWired]

stop trying to look like travis barker so desperately. he's not even a great drummer to be looking up to.

[rushbh100]

well i liked it :)

[Chgreer10]

He's just drumming people...O.o It's a solid cover.

[letstalkfaith]

Umm.....What can I say...

Not a bad drummer, but not amazing. Steady Playing, even though he is moving like he is playing 90's hip-hop.

Too much show boating. I think he should have put more thought into what he would play, than what he should wear, or the lighting or how his little stick flips looked.

[DBdrummerboy113]

@thanksmisfortune

Cool story, bro! I really care. Now like I said before, quit bitching cause you're jealous cause he's a better drummer than you

[DBdrummerboy113]

@thanksmisfortune

Improvising off the top of your head is something a good drummer should be able to do, just because his drumset is 50659x times better than you could ever hope for to own doesnt mean he's a bad drummer. Now shut your mouth, go learn to play an instrument other than your dads skin flute and quit bitchin

[thanksmisfortune]

@DBdrummerboy113 Lol! I bought a 4 piece maple DW set all on my own with hard-earned money from this great thing that some people, especially teenagers like myself, are fortunate enough to have... it's called a JOB! And fyi SJC is kellar shells. guy.

[Daredayo713]

Rockin the afro/headband combo FTW

[31dwa]

Cobus must have 243 youtube accounts.

[TheBabyball]

all i will say is GREAT FEEL. you have good sense of groove and putting feel behind it, also sense of dynaics.. not just showing off.. props bro

[jennifer7995]

i LOVE you drum see <3 and your awesome :)

[rashawn891]

QUESTION, what was used to mix?mics? what software? overall great performance. audio was great.

[hbrider79]

I Love this drum set... I want one now. :)

[forreelmadness]

a little dramatic?

[AlecBFlores]

@forreelmadness there is such thing as "getting into your music".

[plarson54]

what are you using for overheads? this is a great mix.

[oBIGxREDo]

@plarson54 It looks like Remo Emperors to me. I'm not 100% sure though.

[Hailg4k]

DUDE this was awesome!

[Scoopedaddy]

whats up travis barker wanna-be aka douche

[MattShannondrums]

@Scoopedaddy How is he a " Travis Barker wanna-be aka Douche.?" If you going to talk shit, make sure you know what the fuck your talking about.

[zRawki]

why do people like to put the hi hat so high up? :l

[fret1379]

hey dude where did you get that drum, I love it

[thanksmisfortune]

wow i wish i had microphones and made my DW kit glow in the dark so i could get twice the amount of views improvising off the top of my head. yes i just said that.

[MrBenCato]

@thanksmisfortune i wish i could get on youtube and bitch about tangible items like youtube views.

[danz109]

@thanksmisfortune its an SJC

[CenturyofSolitude]

@thanksmisfortune Not glow in the dark btw. Just lit up. That troll wasnt a very accurate one.

[usmcslater]

@thanksmisfortune As you can clearly tell from the video, it is not a DW kit. Its a SJC, and if I had an acrylic set, id probably do the same thing. Please get over yourself.

[thanksmisfortune]

@usmcslater I was talking about MY DW set, guy.

[fmlXskater22]

@usmcslater he is saying he has a dw kit not the drummer in the vid lol, thats what draws you in is the lights , if he was bad or good he would get twice as many views then the average joe because of his money , no one wants to see someone hitting on garbage cans

[usmcslater]

@thanksmisfortune ha oh, my bust dude.

[FLIPP0P0TAMUS]

@thanksmisfortune bring your kit to bama... we can do this!

[fanger54]

@thanksmisfortune if i could improvise this good , or anyone for that matter , then we would all deserve the amount of views he is getting

[RAWKdrummer1]

@thanksmisfortune his kits sjc, not dw...

[thanksmisfortune]

@RAWKdrummer1 Another smart one. I was talking about MY OWN DW set, dummy.

[CaseyGreen19]

@thanksmisfortune uMadBro????? hahaha

[bluejumpsweater]

tight!

[waituntilthebeep]

I get tired watching you. Sounds awesome

[Markcmc10]

Love your playing , hate your mooving >.<

[TheXCobra11]

01:25 i like it !!! (:

[godlyshows]

I like this dont get me wrong. But i like cobus' cover of it a little better. Your other ones are beast as well!

[Kwabpiraat]

You are AMAZING

[AbbySaysRawr12]

Did you customize this? If you did how much was it to customize or just buy a kit, cause im planning to get a shine kit next month... Reply ASAP? thanks :)

[regiershow]

@AbbySaysRawr12 shine drums is out of business now .

[AbbySaysRawr12]

@regiershow Yeah ik, I figured that out like a month ago when I went on their website. Thanks anyways.

[ShineDrumsTheWay2Go]

:20-:37 isn't that why you have a chopblock on your kick?

[srpjr3795]

I don't like this song, but you make it hard for me not to follow along on the beat haha. I really like your style, great job!

[MsIMTHEBEST]

that's my favourite.... you have the style similiar to travis barker...my drum idol! gio drummer

[2lewism]

i jizzed over your drum kit, im very sorry :]

[DMBiewski]

Well played, get much inspiration from Travis Barker? Your style is similar :D

[paysnoattention2U]

Dude i freaking love this video! Definitely my favorite cover of Fireflies. Great job man. Oh and sweet kit by the way. It's one of the coolest SJC's I've seen! :)

[mummasaysrock]

Nice drumming mate!!Nice Kit!!

[Unanimousnigga]

ok this dude went fuckin ham, gud shyt fucker!!!

[AngeloWasHere]

Thumbs up if you only cicked this vid bcuz of the drumset

[yoshiskato]

thumbs up if he need to make the party rock anthem drum cover!

[taylorbaird1]

Pro-tools like woah.

[mcm3390]

nice kit dude

[KeroBloodFox]

EPIC STUFF MAN! - FAVED FOR SURE!!!

[biraa10]

what is your ride?

[StealthShooter1029]

Hipster :D

[wrestlerhero69]

Dude, you should totally spike your hair in your next vid and label it "Super Saiyan plays..."

[ZachChessonMusic]

Thumbs up if you think this guy plays like Travis Barker!!!!

[DeeJayCrackah]

@ZachChessonMusic I thumbs downed you because you just picked the most popular drummer on earth who this guy obviously has some sort of adoration for, because you want thumbs up...

[DeeJayCrackah]

why do all pop punk drummers put their cymbals so high :P

[TheJasob]

@DeeJayCrackah

dont know, but i think at has something to do with the style and where they feel its best for the cymbals to be

but this is the only pop player i have seen with his cymbals so high so i guess its his play style :D

[DeeJayCrackah]

@TheJasob travis barker does it too. I know tons of people who play like that, it just baffles me, like why would you ever want to have to reach for all your cymbals?

[TheJasob]

@DeeJayCrackah i dont think they do, i just think that it the way they like it, like their is not a setup for every style, you make your own setup and you make it easy for yourself to get to the cymbals.

In pop i guess its best for the players to have the cymbals high

tjek out other players that plays different styles, and see how they placed their cymbals

(sorry for the English) :D

[DeeJayCrackah]

@TheJasob I guess. Im a pop punk drummer and I just cant drum like that, it drives me nuts :P

[kcfromslo]

You do realize that there is absolutely nothing special about his playing, right? I sure hope so.

[sixup55]

so much unecessary energy wasted haha

[neonrust]

....that's what i call beating the skins ......a pinch of this and a drop of that

put together in one very nice drum part. Tyler should be proud of his abilities

hes got great style less is really is sooooomuch more. bang...ban...ba...b

[SavyR0x]

this is by far the best cover out there in my opinion. Not over done

[1012Toast]

Easy killer lol.

[DaJmsta]

proof that actually playing well is what makes a good drummer, not looks or the drums themselves or how you act

[RandomPiano501]

Where did you get your drums?



[BrightenHite]

His body looks tatooed

[Johnwells10]

Didn't know you could rock out that hard.... to fireflies .....

[ojking456]

You remind me of twitch from southpark with the way you move and your hair

[rush2ryme]

Travis Barker influence maybe..?

[dragonballzlover1231]

this dude is crazy i love it

[fuzzlefluff]

[udflyer1991]

That is a really nice kit!

[bluewafflebreakfast]

@gerben106 hey, how about you play a show with a broken arm

[gerben106]

@bluewafflebreakfast

I don't think that shows you're a good drummer or not. though it does show dedication

[bluewafflebreakfast]

@gerben106 yea hmmm a dedicated drummer? yea a real disgrace

[YungAndFoolishh]

@gerben106 your over-flowing with bullshit. get a life

[YungAndFoolishh]

people ask too many questions. tight ass drum kit tho man, like the ghost hits you throw in too

[blandotastic]

as I was looking for videos about SJC drums, I found this guy...

I was interested in purchasing a kit and wanted to hear a good demo...

pros: this video helped me lean towards buying some and they sound very slick.

the drummer also does a very good job of adding nice drum parts to very bland, mindless, boring songs.

cons: I just can't help it but, c'mon dude. you got a head band on with a vest!?!?! you goin' to the gym or to the prom? other than you looking like just hilarious, good job.

[thedrummer490]

yeah the snare???

[drumking51306]

Probably the best sounding snare I've heard in a while. The tone is frikkin' incredible. What's the specs?

[kevinbothwell]

that snare....

[ChristophersDrumTv]

seriously wat kinda snare is tht?? :o

[ShineDrumsTheWay2Go]

@ChristophersDrumTv It's and SJC snare.

[shankdrummer06]

[jdogz16]

[berto3]

@jdogz16 who cares!

[thebombdigity124]

[berto3]

@jdogz16 who cares?! he's sick!!

[MRxBuRtOnBoYx]

@jdogz16 when your this good....you can wear whatever the eff you wanna wear!!!

[Unanimousnigga]

@jdogz16 calm down u silly ass bitch, why don't u wear my dick as a dress

[JesxX1994Xx]

@Unanimousnigga lmao thats a unique insult =P

[Unanimousnigga]

@JesxX1994Xx thank you

[mgoody1991]

Hey what mics and video camera did you use to film/record this? :)

Good stuff and awesome kit man!

[SlimAtomic]

Travis Barker... influential... Go look up Steve Gadd. That's influential.



[TehDako]

This is a really cool cover. That said though, I'm not feeling the drums in the first chorus at all.

[MrSak159]

you rock cool kit

[jamestwdm]

how do u get ur drums to light up??

[Oli4drums]

@jamestwdm Custom drums that have LED lights inside of them.

[jamestwdm]

@Oli4drums thanx where can i buy them??

[Oli4drums]

@jamestwdm No idea, sorry mate. I've heard about people doing it themselves but I really think there must be a drum company that does them.

[jamestwdm]

@Oli4drums awww ty ur an awesome drummer

[Oli4drums]

@jamestwdm Hahaha, i'm really not that good.

[fastatlearninstuff]

I'm not hating on this, I'm just annoyed that you have just copied another drummer in all aspects instead of finding your own style.

[jamestwdm]

@fastatlearninstuff humbling yourself goes to show how good you really are

[shapedbymusic95]

yooo coolest drumset ever bro haha what is it?

[B33fisGud]

@TheAftermathWorld

Personally I think his drumming is just boring. It's not so much lack of skill.

[sh4ne6]

do your drums have a light in them they look illuminus

[killedbyassassin]

you look like you take a dick in the butt... faggot

[gerben106]

@COBRA16661 awsome should be awesome, give should be gives,

'...awesome plus...' should be '...awesome, plus...'

'...another dumb comment no one...' should be '...another dumb comment. no one...'

'...its music calm.' down should be '...its music, calm down.'

[ohmyoceans]

loving the cover. nice drums. they gave me multiple orgasms out of my fingers...what no one else does that..?
