Britain's Got Talent 2010 Auditions: Kieran Gaffney (Boy Drummer) 2nd Audition

[thisissofuctup]

Hihat work was probably the best part of that

[Tom6093]

This kids better the Travis. He's got talent that 16-17 year olds posess

[PorcupineToast]

@Tom6093 No..?

[PorcupineToast]

@Tom6093 Btw No applies to both parts of your sentances.

No part 1: Travis sucks

No part 2: He has not got the talent 16-17 year olds posses. I work with them all the time.

[A7X027]

Ok this kid totally stole the first part from neil peart.

[jamesisahardman]

CHECK OUT MY DRUM SOLO IF YOU WANNA SEE REAL DRUMMING.

[adrianobnu15]

[Manson28780]

nice I..I,

[johnm8506]

he looks like hes trying to take a 30inch in diameter shit

[wabcamyandrey]

the next roger taylor

[leathergunn]

He needs a bigger kit ...

[browndowntown2]

This kid needs to calm the hell down. Making his crazy faces. He repeated the exact same roll but moved it from snare to toms, and then on the high hat. I understand its a solo, but just groove a little... damn.

[DoctorAOwnzU]

@browndowntown2 isnt he like 12? give the kid a break. He's great.

[PorcupineToast]

@DoctorAOwnzU Well he's 13-14 now. And me being a 14 year old kid drummer/MUSICIAN, He's not a good drummer.I mean his technique is just single rolls. And I strongly agree with browndowntown, when you look at the musical aspect of drumming, like anyone else you don't want to hear a fast pile of bullshit. That's why the best drummers are people like Dave weckl / Steve gadd / Gavin harisson and much MUCH more. BTW us musicians are really pretentious so I'm guessing that this isnt your 1st lecture

[rockandrollrules5]

haha! play some Slipknot! that'l get you all the way.

[theairborne145]

i hate audience clapping out of time to drummers

[stefan90kauw]

Is he the new Green Day back-up drummer? :P Think he would be best replacement! :P

[krazylolable]

i think amanda's a tap patronising

[DiGiTxii]

SO can he drum smoke on the water?

[H0022]

sorry his not a good drummer he just hits shit as hard as he can lol he cant even groove on a ride, cant even he it right either.

[DoctorAOwnzU]

@H0022 Bet he's way better than you were at twelve!!

[H0022]

@DoctorAOwnzU not really i had a lil more imagination than doing the same stuff over and over again and ive always had laid-back feel instead of been so uptight.

[Fiveagainstjimmy]

He actually copied this drumcover, thats why it wasnt a good performance.

and because he thinks hes great.

not saying he doesnt have talent but I dont like listening him solo or in a band.

and i'm not even talking about his parents haha!

[mrIEATWITHFORKS]

lol fat girl sitting all by herself in the beggining

[Geaxuce]

that kid is fucking awesome, seriously! god damn i wish i got as good as him in a year xD

[dondonini]

What's is with all the bad comments? He played good.

[xIRideBmxBFMVIx]

Over all i think people should stop bitching about it tbh, ok maybe his not up there with alot of drummers but so what, get over it people

[xSuLFaTEx]

he looks like his arms are dying from strain.. hes only doing some fast riffs... and he cant keep a rhythm well.. plus there are probably a million other kids his age who can do that

[jonathan10690]

eu toco melhor bateria do que esse pia ai

[papesjr]

neil peart 2011 solo...

[teracite]

i know 20 people who know do that . tv... tv...

[alan517815]

It's cool, just has pussy sticks..

[TheTaniaKofficial]

Wow this world is so, full of hate its beyond stupid. Why not just enjoy watching a talented young boy doing his thing and doing it well! I think he is amazing and I don't normally take much interest in drumming but i could watch him play all day and never get bored!. I think all those putting hate comments up should upload a video of them self's so, we can compare the two, if your all that like you state to be!. Anyway I enjoyed watching that I think this kid has a bright future ahead of him!.

[666TheRem666]

@TheTaniaKofficial hey here's one reason why:

1. He's not talented

[owenrhysmagic]

@666TheRem666 True I was way better than him at his age and im not just saying that to be arrogant i actually was... It's stupid.

[DoctorAOwnzU]

@666TheRem666 <-----Hater

[666TheRem666]

@DoctorAOwnzU I like to think of myself as the Bringer of Justice but I have many names

[portnoy60]

The beginning sounds like a Neil Peart drum solo.

[erikjsvids]

to be completely honest, that song is really easy. i am 12 and i can play it flawless. its really basic and im kind of shocked that they praised him so greatly

[kfaber88]

I've yet to see any video responses from any of the "haters". Hmm... Full of it are we? I think so.

[skydster1]

maybe half yu haters heard the beginning cos it was kinda off and then click thumbs down ... but wth atleast listen to the whole thing first cos it was pretty good ... *JUST MY OPINION * not hating ..

[MrBabsen4me]

Well, now i just need to find mrmattguitarguy's comment..

[TheBuddahBurner]

wipeout is not hard to play, every person who doesnt play drums thinks wipeout is fucking incredible and its really not hard or anything i was playing wipeout when i first learned to drum and its easy

[ViralCommentator]

Haters, leave him alone, it's not easy to maintain a steady beat in your head when you are nervous :)

[UL439]

he shredded, he fought like a warrior.

[MaxRach90]

oh man he´s so BAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ps3however]

Heyy.. This guy is awesome , This solo made Neil peart , tHIS guy did not exactly as neil , but it 'sound amazing :d

[tpribb777]

this sounds like the drum solo Neil Peart did in their Rush 30th Anniversary tour in Frankfurt, Germany. pretty impressive this kid is, when he is only doing it with acoustic drums and not acoustic and electric like Neil uses.

[mattp7394]

This kid is so shit, definitely a thumbs down, I encourage others to do the same

[exitoftheend]

god he is awful.

[MonkeyMonkMan]

Does he ever use his bass drum?

[ilikemusicish]

@MonkeyMonkMan lol like the whole time!

[joshmom100]

143 viewers weren't drummers, 22 were.

[ImNotSoGoodAtGuitar]

kid got no grooooove

[AndysDrumming]

i am so pissed right now that he didn't mention that the most important, creative and original part of his solo is from the genius of Neil Peart. Just look up "rush 30 year anniversary" and you'll hear that this is stolen right away.

[lokfuwong]

what is the name of the ending music ?

[generallifing]

Tony Royster Jr. Better than this kid 10 times

[wykisz]

@generallifing DUDE, did anyone asked you to mention Royster? No? So shut the hell up, no one cares, this guy is doing better than 99,9% of the worlds 12 year old drummers

[generallifing]

Tony Royster Jr better than him 10 time when 12...so sad

[MegaGameSpoof]

those facial expressions made me laugh

[tattooreptiles]

NEIL PEART.

[surethang27]

The judges had no idea it's Neil Peart's solo that he does all the time! They should listen to some good music like RUSH!

[MovieMaker484]

This guy is so good. I am a drummer, I've been drumming for 4 months. And at this point I'd like to say I am pretty good. But seriously! This guy is insane!! He's crazy good. I think this guy is going to be known all over the world. And P.S. watch my videos! :)

[HipCovers]

I think I just watched a 13-year-old improvise Der Trommler...

[cycalo]

im still loling and how he got through

[BurntFaceMan]

his mum looks upset, she dressed up like a tart for no reason =P

[SpiderRatchet]

he's not good.The tecnic is very...i don't know is simple.It likes difficult for the normal person but if a drummer listen to this,for ex.:i play the drum better of him and also more fast.He is slow,without tecnic and he wrong rate.(sorry for grammar,i'm italian)

[theillyMusic]

it beginns 1:40

[SuperMmovies]

this sucks? how the fuck could he go to the finals, when there is millions of kids around the world who could that?

[jorgedart]

he played with his heart..

[Tirreger]

the best drummer is joey jordison

kearen is ok

[OrangeMango30]

@Tirreger Joey Jordison is awful.

[MonkeyMonkMan]

@OrangeMango30 How is joey jordison awful?

[OrangeMango30]

@MonkeyMonkMan Over reliance on the double bass drum.

[mattp7394]

What the fuck is this?!?!?!

[OMGwtgfhgg]

amanda at 1:41 ish - derp

[mrmattguitarguy]

just leave that kid alone so what if he used neil pearts solo you guys probly couldent do better then him at that age

[666TheRem666]

@mrmattguitarguy

you clearly know nothing about drums this guy is all tensed, so much so hes in pain, his technique is appalling he has no sense of rhythm or dynamics and in no way is he fast in a good way its all tensed and shitty, he shows no initiative especially as he chooses to plagiarise another artist's work without saying so (i'll call that stealing) furthermore he shows no skill in by not using the bass drum and thus exposing his lack of independence, so yes i think i could do better

[mrmattguitarguy]

@666TheRem666 are u as old has him there? probly not yer probly like 19 or somthing, so he is better then you

[riqmoon]

@mrmattguitarguy Age does not determine skill.

The amount of work you put into your art determines your skill.

[owenrhysmagic]

@riqmoon And he's still shit...

[riqmoon]

@owenrhysmagic I know right?

[rushbh100]

@riqmoon indeed ive been playing for about 5 months and im already grade 7. Or play to a grade 7 level as my teacher says. Indeed work determines skill aswell as talent natural talent i believe.

[666TheRem666]

@mrmattguitarguy oh hello there mrmattguitarguy, nice name by the way (lol), as a matter of fact I will admit to being 16 which is a tad older than this 'really talented drummer'...oh wait yet I have only been playing a year. This guy is doing what I call pandering to the audience; he plays really really fast doing things that look really impressive and he gets loads of credit because the audience know nothing about the drums. I have now run out of space but i have so much abuse to say!

[ChrisRockSteady]

@666TheRem666 you sound like a bitter cunt, hes only a kid, you knob

[666TheRem666]

@ChrisRockSteady im only a kid (you knob)

[dave89p]

@666TheRem666 wow get over yourself you moron, this kid has put alot of effort into the drums and it paid off for him, why dont you piss off and let people admire talent instead of making everyone look less superior to yourself

[666TheRem666]

@dave89p ah hello there let me tell you why his efforts have paid off, he went on britain's got talent, the public liked him and so he came 3rd or 2nd in the competition (by the way I don't really think popularity is a measure of skill so sod off if your gonna attack me with that) and also, how in any way am i making myself look far superior to him when i havent brought anything to the table? i am simply letting everybody know how truly bad he is, good day!

[curdogz99]

@666TheRem666 Bullshit hater! dudes a monster

[dave89p]

@curdogz99 i agree with you mate i wanna see how "good" 666threm666 is, hes always arguing with people that say kieran is good so why doesnt he show us...

[midnightmoocher]

@666TheRem666 WELL GO FOR IT TWAT  DO A VIDEO IN REPONSE TO IT AND LETS ALL HAVE A LAUGH AT YOU THEN

[666TheRem666]

@midnightmoocher i can't do that cause i aint got drum mics, but because you can throw down that challenge so easily then i would demand you do yourself eh? and i don't need to post a video because I know that I am better than this shit for brains

[9192andy]

@666TheRem666

i totaly agree with you i play drums for 1 year i dont got that kind of speed he has but he has no sence of rhythem i bet he cannot even play with a metronome.

[yetiite]

@666TheRem666 He's young, so maybe give it time but i sorta agree with you.

[RubySurfr]

@666TheRem666 So do I xp

[chockondick1]

@666TheRem666 wtf dude, he's like 12 and is doing his audition in front of millions, i think you'd be a lil bit tense too..

[666TheRem666]

@chockondick1 i would be nervous but you have misunderstood the use of the word tensed. In this case he is tensing his muscles because he is trying to go too fast, this is a sign of a bad, un-compitent drummer who doesn't practice the boring stuff enough. And I don't care if he's 12 or what cause first of all hes a cocky little shit and he uses his age to stun people like you who clearly know nothing about the world of drumming so don't attack me when I know what I'm talking about and you don't

[richogem]

@666TheRem666 you blame a 12 year old for not practicing the boring stuff? :|

its a given.

[666TheRem666]

@richogem Yeah i do actually because if he wants this so much which he never fails to stop telling us then he should discipline himself before he starts lying to millions of people and claiming credit which he doesn't deserve. I can guarantee that he will never have a decent career in his drumming because he sounds so fucking bad now sit down and think about the crap and lies that he had to throw at audiences to amaze them, kind of shows the awful drumming he has hiding from us

[richogem]

@666TheRem666 what the fuck are you talking about? were not making nuclear missiles, hes playing the drums, and actually pretty good. its not PERFECT because no one is perfect, and its not close to perfect because hes just a kid who started playing the drums.

no one said hes a drum legend, if he would have gone over the basics and much time as he went over what he probably goes over, he wouldve been a drum legend.

this isnt lying, this is ignorance. you are just over thinking...

[666TheRem666]

@richogem nahh its lying and he isnt playing the drums well, trust me

[jakA7X13]

@666TheRem666 He is playing well, maby you might be better but he ins't bad at all. If you can do better prove it.

[richogem]

@666TheRem666 ..trust you?

i'm arguing with a retard.

[mitchyboi2011]

@666TheRem666 well if u had to make up a solo on the spot in front of millons so shut the fuck up and give him some respect u twat i cant do that on the spot and im a grade 6-7 so shut the fuck up and respect him.

[666TheRem666]

@mitchyboi2011 but he lied about it hes a cheeky shit that was given too much credit for 'making up' a solo up on the spot and so for claiming he did something that he didn't i can never respect him so shut the fuck up oh and by the way how can you be two grades at once? Sounds like a lie

[AndyReidYeo]

@666TheRem666 but you're guitar guy....

[ZippyDooFU]

@AndyReidYeo This is kid is good but he doesnt have a sense in rhythm, doesnt have grooves or good fills. He's not playing loose at all hes playing all tensed up which is not what your supposed to do at all, Hes just beating on shit with barely any patterns but he's fast and has muscle endurence but other than thats not much. Now trust me on this im a drummer myself, i've been drumming for over 4 years now and i progressed mostly being a metal drummer playing Deathmetal and Progressive metal.

[ZippyDooFU]

@ZippyDooFU Mostly Deathmetal and Progressive metal playing many more genres and elements.

[ZippyDooFU]

@AndyReidYeo Plus his hand technique is mostly crap because he holds his ticks wrong, now there is a specific way you should be holding your sticks which would make you use less muscle and wrist and more finger strength. Overall he's not that talented at all.

[666TheRem666]

@AndyReidYeo im sorry what are you on about?

[joelakastud123]

1:30 "imma just make me own solo" wait..THAT IS NOT NEIL PEARTS!

[MrSpunkyPoo]

complete shit, he looks as if he's in so much pain when playing ???

[TheMCDesigns]

@MrSpunkyPoo -.- Play painkiller perfectly and you'll understand.

[DailyBeat97]

neil peart, alright kid, not bad

[Turtlesrossum]

Awful... drumming.... It's so annoying to see that someone like him can get so far, when he's shit.

[kalexi83]

@Turtlesrossum wat as ass hes a kid ffs.

[666TheRem666]

@kalexi83 hes a kid huh yeahh but he stil plagerised didnt he, and he has awful technique, oh wait hes 14 years old that changes everything, oh sorry i forgot that it doesnt change a fucking thing

[joelakastud123]

@Turtlesrossum pffft have you seen the stuff they play on tv these days!? there is a big reason as to why if it isnt atleast from the 90s or on back its completely or alteast somewhat underground if im listening to it

[101Weekz101]

That is copied almost exactly from Neil Pert's drum solo in O Baterista by Rush, search it and you'll see

[TheMusicvent]

Sigh... He had a lot of potential, but if this is all he accomplished in a year, I'm disappointed

[fred5644]

lol this drummer is not talented

[JLSbiggestfan612]

he Looks constipated :D

[Xirmaify]

LOL His FACE ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[JordMcDrummer]

1:52 hooray for ripping off neil peart! :/ fucks sake...

[blink7777777]

whats kieran playing? is it original?

[baoduyvo]

@blink7777777 hes playing neil peart's R30 drum solo

[GuitarHerox83]

I like the part where he said he made up his own solo, then started playing Neil Peart, amirite? =P

[TECHGUY3452]

if u think it was a FAIL from the starting , LIKE THIS **

[Syndrum13]

@TECHGUY3452 UR A FAG! HE WAS PLAYING NIEL PEART UR SO GAY!

[passion4drums]

face expressions like he's taking a poop

[madiana10]

[sil3ntDRUMMER]

[kbxtc123]

[Fergusforslipknot]

[jamsbruno1]

Amanda: That was brilliant

Me: meh

Simon: Fantastic

Me: REALLY?

Simon: You've got 3 yes'

Me: *cough* bullshit *cough*

[136105]

HI AMANDA :D

[oberfuhrer]

THIS IS FROM NEIL PEART!

DER TROMMLER!!! ITS RUSH TIME!!!!!!!!

[oberfuhrer]

THIS I FROM NEIL PEART!

DER TROMMLER!!! ITS RUSH TIME!!!!!!!!

[malselv1]

O.M.G. he is good, so fucking good

[Rithoy]

Wow guys, this is an excerpt from NEIL PEART'S DRUM SOLO. As in, the drummer of RUSH. Who is tentatively been named the greatest drummer of all time. I love how most of you (probably with no musical talent yourselves) think you can correctly judge how talented this kid is.

[karhui88]

can i know whats the song played after 4.00?

[oODallyOo]

@0riginaldan hahahahah "one day", well said!

[0riginaldan]

He'll be a good drummer one day

[laurawattam]

i want to know the fuck he got to the final on shit drum playing 

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

@laurawattam How good is your drumming?

[laurawattam]

@TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY I don't aspire to be a drummer so not good i'm guessing but the thing I really hate is that they put him through basically on the fact that he came back (SO?) and because he is like 12 which makes no fucking difference. I do believe its called Britain's got talent not Britain's got the best sob story and no talent or Britain's got shit but cute little kids :) (IMO)

[madiana10]

i love the part at 2:13

[ibazookajoe]

Not exactly a young Joe Morello

[Jonesmayes]

thats fucking bullshit - i justmade my own up....at least dont lie kid.

Its just a poor version of neil pearts anatomy of a drum solo.

[suushii90]

@Jonesmayes Dont talk trash you piece of shit. He is awesome you cant compare him to Neil Peart. Neil Peart has atleast 30+ years of experience

[Jonesmayes]

@suushii90 im not comparing him at all, you fucking piece of shit :P

You misunderstood what i was saying cuz ure an idiot.

THIS IS NEIL PEARTS DRUM SOLO.

THIS KID DID NOT MAKE UP THIS SOLO - ITS PLAGUERIZED!

LOOK UP "Neil peart anatomy of a drum solo"

[suushii90]

@Jonesmayes well still. So what he didnt make the solo up. Does he have to have his own solo? He is justing showing his skills on the drums not the skill of song writting or what you call it

[MegaRockstar1]

i play better than that i can play half of iron maiden songs

[thugnificentvideos27]

@MegaRockstar1 exactly bruh u play covers...try making up ur own stuff this guys good mann....

[Wikkid10]

Well... when I was 13 i could play this and thats like 25 years ago...but thanks for bringing the drums to a talent show. And try not to watch others drummers, like Neil Peart ...wait... watch ´em but dont rip ´em off on national TV on a "talent" show. But still, keep it up and maybe you will show us the finger in a couple of years.

[mw2iisniperzXx]

TRY HARD lol

[KNlFlNG]

LOL! @ the fat mess sulking at the start of the vid.

[DispleasedHorse]

Niel Peart ripoff

[astrella]

wow way to rip off neil peart

[usedtobeemo]

@astrella Who gives a shit. Kids play guitar covers, why can't he do drum covers?

[astrella]

@usedtobeemo way to reply to a comment made 1 year ago. besides its not cool to completely rip off an entire solo from someone else. talent also requires originality.

[peidsmoe]

learn how to spell before u comment....what r u all 12?

[RealityXtra]

@peidsmoe *you and *are :)

[peidsmoe]

@RealityXtra oops that was just a quick write in....

[Valentinnus]

@RealityXtra hahaha xD ahthat made my day C:

[Syndrum13]

@peidsmoe You just got served

[misty853]

Lol, this is crap, look at his mouth at 2:40 x
