insane one armed drumroll

[gandj19]

When i find something like this it amazes me how many different small "worlds' there are. I would have never known that this exists and that it has its own name and subculture its crazy to me how everyone can have there own interest that can be completely different and out there.

[thgirww]

I'm pretty sure this is Chris Harris, The Bucket Man. He used to play in my home town of Athens GA until stupid fucking Clarke county created a sound ordinance law. He is by far the best street performer I've ever seen.

[SeanathenII]

Gravity Blasting like a boss

[TimWaterson]

This guy knows how to milk a crowd.

Its a freehand roll not gravity blast.

Tim

[DrBenwilliams]

Imagine what it would be like with two arms.

[SwdishDrummer]

amazing dude.

[Mereaper666]

niiiice gravity roll

[ChipNick87]

I couldn't hear over the screaming -_-

[savingeon]

its not as hard as it looks, its just doubles rly rly fast, kudos for actually doing it that fast tho!

[ZDoggMD]

Take that, Def Leppard drummer!

[Chipkanobe]

@ZDoggMD Shut Up

[Spleenfome]

[psirus929]

gravity blasts. real easy, guy is a jipster.

[franktothemax]

wtb gravity blasts 

[vinny1224]

I can do it on my practice pad and it has no rim

[smellydeli888]

my penis can do that.

[CrozzleySun]

@smellydeli888 HAHA you have to copy comments, you suck LOL, no thumbs up for u!!

[masarrasan12]

its just a gravity blast, its still harder to do on a bucket than on a regular snare drum, you dont have the elevated rim. impresive

[drummerdylan87]

Its a Gravity Blast, but still, pretty impressive, i still cant really do them very well

[o2cmynamenlites]

total rip off. Any real drummer knows where he got that from. Look up Jo Jo Mayer's DVD. I saw that years ago. I taught that trick to a 5th grade student of mine. He is using the edge as a fulcrum point, similar to your hand.

[MrGixxser]

wtf insane nice

[TheTruecompassion]

To dank for me.Lol

[bobbyjoe455]

NO WAY!!!

[chaotic291]

Lol its a gravity blast but it's really hard to do it using a bucket.

[These10Fingers]

what scares me is how such an amazing drummer is sitting on the side of the road..

[Jrmotor95]

holy fucking shit that is so awesome

[ohmss069]

:o Woah... xD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[A7X729]

[allisondael]

THAT is why I love NOLA!!

[BaTeSy0527]

[spacitydrummer4JC]

You guys should go check out 'Shakerleg'.

[ImpulseDrummer]

for the people who don't know drumming that was a gravity blast, not all that hard but really cool and fun to do. I'm saying the two handed roll is actually harder than the one hand.

[masterchiefmango]

he should be the new drummer for avenged sevenfold

[mikey41414141]

lmfao all the drunk people "NO WAY!!!" hahah

[GODGuardianOfDeath]

@mikey41414141 lol yea, reminds me of family guy xD

[Crunkey1989]

[XxDRUMMERKIDxX96]

@Crunkey1989 hahahahahaha good one



[HereticAnthems]

@Crunkey1989 It's called a buzz roll...

[adamwhiteman1]

Not cool he's doing a rim blast beat real death metal drummers can actually do that ex. Alex Grind

[Mush0Art]

It's not called a rim blast beat, it's called a gravity blast, and they're quite easy

[MIntyMcGraw]

NOOO WAAAYYY!

[uhhhcjxlewc]

[TheTokemaster1]

[Skaterman123456789]

Can You Say Hustler?

[xX0Isaac0Xx]

@Skaterman123456789

Thats not a normal gravity blast buddy, each hit is still doubled which is pretty damn fucking hard.

[jojogallo98]

freagin

AWESOME

[BlackShark33]

Gravity blasty!

[Ninjaclownjez]

Gravity Blast!

[TrainedPwner]

Does he kick the drum to make the bass or what?

[kionay]

@TrainedPwner

he lifts the drum off the ground so the sound waves from inside the drum dont dissapate, lifting it up lets the vibration from the drum escape, and even ring a little, giving it that bass sound

[girlsndrums]

You pick the side of the bucket up with your foot to get the low bass tone. Still hitting with the sticks.

[fl00ders]

heheh I've seen it done a few times before by various drummers, but this still puts a big smile on my face.

[brianwildemusic]

No where in this video does it signal this man is homeless....

You guys are very observant.

I play street music, I own a home. You make pretty good money playing music on the street or street performing. I do have a job outside of it, but I can make the same amount of money I make at work in a day, playing on the street.

Hundreds of people pass you and probably 1 out of every 10 give you a dollar or even more.

[terrypercussion24]

u know, i always wanted to go in the street and do that..

but as i can see, people are gonna think im homeless

[pdilla]

Man... and Im JUST getting blast beats under control...

maybe I should be homeless, I'll have nothing better to do than learn drums.

[YoYoHall]

Can you say blast beats?

[jlcurry8]

BEAST

[Betoisanalien]

DDDDAAAAAAMMMMNNNNNN

[Titleification]

[TheHormone28]

[LUNA71CHEVY]

[jakeohh]

[martyscheuerjr]

Straight up Freehand Technique....look it up.....Johnny Rabb my friend

[rock0star0dude]

[boottotheace]

LoL...I,ve watched this 20 x and still impressed! Buckets haha lol....

[thejomards]

[wtficantgetausername]

how could he have done a gravity blast without a rim? hes awesome!!

[cala4nia]

noooo wayyyyyyyyyy

[wtficantgetausername]

hahahhah!!! WOOOW!!

[Myschly]

He should learn how to play the Moeller technique. Those kinds of buckets have really good bounce ^^

Still got good chops and charisma, and that's all you need.

[xyzolion]

I might not be the best of drummers, but weren't that one-armed thingie just a gravity blast...?

[jakefrancis4]

WHY ISNT HE FAMOUS!

[Myschly]

Because it's a gravity blast, takes about 3 weeks to learn how to do it.

He does however have charisma, and deserves ever penny he gets!

[InsaneDrummer99]

amazing

but its sad to see a guy with such great talent on the street :(

[paulrisley89]

thats awesome!!

[YAMAHA31294]

lmao thats great

[kierenfXXkinglegacy]

thats nuts

[SpartanDeath1]

that was freaking fast

[bastardmakervdh]

it was well done and he had good showmanship but ya it's not the craziest technique really...even on a bucket... but i give him credit...it takes guts to draw a crowd.

[sambi666]

Buddy Rich will own his ass

[chronic9292]

WTF IS HE DOING ON THE STREETS!!!

[N312]

bucket drummers? tht sounds funny..lol but they fukn dope..!!

[KrisEuphoria]

OH MY GOD LETS GO CRAZY OVER A FUCKING GRAVITY BLAST! I don't play drums, but I've messed around a lot, since I've been playing guitar for years and I jam with lots of people. One of the FIRST drum techniques I was able to do was a gravity blast. This isn't impressive.

[demichuk]

stfu he plays on the street u think he gives a fuckwhat you say? 70000 people have seen this, so already hes more famous than you r dipshit

[KrisEuphoria]

You don't put any logic into your arguments, all you're doing is swearing and saying that you're right. You must feel proud.

[FinalFantasyFlash72]

Then lets see you post of a video of you doing this?

[KrisEuphoria]

I would if I had a drumset and a camera. Believe me that I can do it easily, or don't. I honestly don't care whether or not you believe me...it's a simple technique.

[heyhello158]

It's only a gravity blast...

[Skull0nFire]

Because famous through playing an istrument issnt just down to talent, unless it;s session drumming etc.

travis is famous cos' he's a cool mother fucker, and hes got image and creativity, this guy could be a fuckin loser in a basement, but just happens to be a fucking brilliant drummer, cos' he clearly has the talen, but he might be in a band that have no idea to write good songs that sell.

[killeroctian]

Haha! Nice! But guys that technique isn't hard at all! I learned how to do it that fast in about 5-10min! Just keep the middle of your stick on the rim and move your hand up and down. You get 2 hits for every 1 stroke.

[NoobTheShow24]

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blada600]

what the fuuuuuccckkkk. this is seriously out of control. i love bucket drummers, by the way.

[VelvetFuckinRevolv3r]

wat a mad snake!

[quest133]

gravity blast

[MASTERCARDUZ]

give him a fuking drumset!!

[umhsbears]

fucking insane

[ralleshonnadk]

sick !!

[thebro420]

fucking amazing!

[guitarbumx]

this guy's better than travis barker lol.

[filth666gc]

Dude for the record, Travis Barker sux, Try Travis Smith from Trivium, as a pose 2 barker anyway, but an amazing drummer alone. Barker's not much to bat an eye at, especially nowadays. this guy was sick tho.

[guitarbumx]

I know. I think Barker got famous for being in a popular band, and for his "image".

I think this guy would do better in a drumoff lol.

[weatiesboy111]

lets see u do better than travis, and just cause travis isnt the best drummer doesnt mean he sucks. Travis rocks!

[filth666gc]

I just meant that, Travis Barker isn't much to compare to a guy like this, and as far as drummer's with small kit's R concerned, Chad Smith (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) is way better. But in general, you could find a much better drummer to compare to this guy than Barker. And for the record, I'm still learning a lot on the drums, every time I get on my bandmate/roommates kit, I'm alright for only playing about 4 months, but as a 6 years, self taught guitarist, I'm pretty damn good. Not gloating.

[fannypack311]

amazing im learning it its pretty slow right know

[Ollie12398]

I'm loving his drum kit. XD

[Conman205]

somebody buy that man a drumset

[NoxiousProductions]

Fuckin rights

[LethalBmOs]

gravity roll!

[JaredCoffin210]

ive seen that dude at clearwater beach

[gmikoner]

also a masturbatory technique

[punkomagiccc]

hahah yea i tried it but its no fun dude:P you come wayy to fast:P

no just kidding never tried it..... i have to tried ones i think:P

[connerocks]

1:20 is where he magic apens

[CalebMcF]

HOLY SHIT I WAS THERE! I gave that dude like half my money! That was near The outskirts of the French Quarters!

[drummerdude9944]

gravity blast FTW

[rroyer3]

exactly what i was thinking haha

[gooberface14]

gravity beats......

[CriticsConfession]

The new drummer for my band can do that, but not nearly as amazing!

[BoomBoxJakey]

all that build up for something so shitty

[LAblinkkings]

hahaha i love the homeless bitch behind him that you can see at :30 to :32 and 1:20 - 1:30 haha

[LeecifurDrums]

yeah, it's a fairly simple concept with a little practice...it's called the gravity blast.

[kevanmate]

The technique is either called the freehand technique or sometimes the rim fulcrum stroke. The gravity blast is a beat that utilizes this technique.

[dwdrummer88]

thats really not that hard, he is just using the side of the bucket to bounce the stick.......you can learn how to do that easily......check out some Jonny Rabb videos.....he kind of "invented" that

[dodgeviperdude2002]

DAAAAAAAMMMMNNN

[galhardotek]

Good Lord that was amazing...

[ChopatoothCOBHC]

gotta love the gravity blast

[get2knowmii]

god... damn!!!!! ok, that was good!

[himynameisbraddd]

Niceeeee... He must masterbate alot hahaha jk.

[ThomasRW2]

no actually, thats not a completely ridiculous hypothesis. no personality skills with words, and he probably had some beers in him.
