it's funny that people are still getting psyched out by this. yeah,he's a competent drummer,and yeah, this is a bullshit joke video. it does not have to be one or the other. both are true.
@brainsareus Exactly. Not sure how many people know this, but Fred was actually part of the Blue Man Group before moving on to SNL. Makes this video all the more funny.
i have this dvd it has taken me to the next level im in the studio with the fray a colorado band and their mouths have drop to the floor when i did my solo this dvd fucking rules

I worked with his drum video literally for a few HOURS and I came away with the confidence of YES I CAN! I kid you not guys, this july I got the gig for 4 months of road tour with STING! I did!
I just need to inform Sting that I got the gig with him and he'll need to make the necessary arrangements and so on...
I am not a musician, 'cept for my musical skin flute percussive technique and I found this mocumentary to be exceedingly insightful, so thanks to whomever posted it, 'cause I have a new idea regarding my upcoming skin flute solo. No I won't post it.
I seen this video around 10 times in Manny's music store in NYC and I literally had tears running down my face every time I watched it, this is my favorite mocumentary since Spinal Tap!
what fred armisen did was just go through drum storage with the blue man group sound techs and find anything and everything that could be tacked onto a drumset and create a super-set worthy of the envy of mike portnoy.
so: pedal-operated djembes, 22" hi-hats, he has it.
Jens Hannemann is not a real drummer, Fred Armisen of SNL plays the character. Although there was some good drumming on it. I love the part where the snare wires snap and the guy just hobbles off camera cussing. And the part when he is tuning the snare drum. "I call this a Para-diddle-addle-oodle."
Is Marco Minnemann who this guy is doing a parody of? It sure seems like it. I have the Extreme Interdependence dvd. That's why this is so funny to me. How to dominate a jam session. Classic. :D
the opening peace is a bit of a parody of terry bozzio, but after that he parodies marco minneman and he also does a parodie of rick gratton that is pretty funny. Its definitely worth the price of admission
Fred Armisen > Neil Peart.

Buddy Rich was WAAAAY better than this joker, and his kit consisted of 1 bass, 1 snare, 3 toms, 1 ride cymbal and 1 other cymbal.
I had the privilege of seeing Buddy perform in the early 80's. Amazing! He did 30 minutes on one drum, and had the audience in the palm of his hand.
His band, Killer Force, was also amazing! Buddy would call out a number, and the lead sax would play from memory!
Lots of toys and extra bits won't give you rhythm. You either have it or you don't.
