Drum Solo #6

[patatakiaalmura]

u fail so badly

[WillEyeAmz]

i have nightmares about this man and his goatee... and now that i know he plays weird ass rhythms with brushes, i'm probably going to wet the bed again

[teareado]

wow now thats cool how you use te brush to make a killer rythem

[Kingdedede2008]

Don't much care for this guy's style, but it's still beautiful!

[jizzum8989]

this bloke is a legend

[mesoprano]

Don't be exaggerate !

[splashy44]

touch of the old "Dom Famularo's" about this maybe?!

cool!

[064721582]

lol, seems like he's never even seen a set of drums until today, but it takes an extreme ammount of talent to play like that, props man:)

[SuperChuck3]

I hate how ALL other instruments can be played slowly and expressively, and the crowd goes WOW that was beautiful, but for some reason that's never the same with drums. Sucks, because I really enjoyed this solo.

[Hayden1370]

I reckon mate.... I love it too and your are so true !!!

[jp60476]

I agree one hundred percent...you need to check out JoJo Mayer- pleasure control

[SuperChuck3]

Oh I have :P

[mrTooKanSam]

yummy yamaha.

[theshifted92]

beautifully played!

[mikemichalkowdrums]

hmmmm... I guess I should have called this solo "My Brush with Death!" LOL

[smokin316]

WOW

[ModGyo]

You know you're a good drummer if you can play soft and keep people entertained.

[hazzpwnage]

I really like it, makes a change from most of the solos, very creative :D

[jsnake01]

This is a phenomenal solo folks. It's incredibly expressive and varied. He uses the drums in innovative ways and makes them tell a story. You can feel something from the drum solo, which is not commonly associated with percussion solos.

[danielhl22]

he is good but watch joey baron!!!!! cool

[Drumwannabe17]

at first I thought I wouldn't like that one but as it went on it got more interesting, the end kind of disappointed me, though. great drummer and great solo.

[porchestra]

Sometimes it isn't about speed and licks that makes a solo a solo. Sometimes it's just about making drums speak... Great work!

[crazyfillzskate]

at the beginning i wasnt so shure about this solo from him but during the middle it started getting a kind of repetative offbeat jazz feel which i really liked

[GakTodd]

Wow! So many negative comments from people who have no idea how Mike plays... Check out his YYZ Drum Solo Immitating Neil Peart, then watch this brush solo and see the diversity... not many drummers have the discipline to vary solos and kit sizes... Mike is a True Drummer in my eyes.... Big Kit, Small Jazz Kit, Rock, Brushes, Latin, Jazz, Funk, D&B.. I wish I had half of his skills... quit dissing him!

[stevieb0i]

lol dude, people can say whatever it is they want,

if people dont like the solo, then it doesnt matter if they know how he plays or not

knowing how someone plays shouldnt influence the sound of the solo

he has skill ofcourse, just this solo doesnt do him justice

in my opinion

[XxJesseXdrummerxX]

SHIT

[CoverDrummer94]

Don't much like this.

[poundld01]

i dont like this type of drumming but it is awesome!!!!

[chris74742]

nice man. much better than that other drum solo i just saw by some sam guy from freedrum lessons

[McMolot]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

[FatalGForce]

never seen so much crap at once on a drum kit

[Jaydrummer92]

can you call that drumming? lol

i don't really like this type of drumming.

[DrummerGS]

You are such a retard man. That solo was awesome. Expand your musical tastes. It's not just punk rock dude. There's much more to drumming.

[Jaydrummer92]

retard, dude i didn't say he wasn't talented, i like his other drumming just not this style, don't try and change my taste in music, its all in my personal opinion and no i don't like just rock n punk thanks you very much.

[spoddie]

I'm not a drummer and don't particularly like this, but I can certainly recognise the skill and notice at least some of the variety in technique .

[00Resev]

Thoroughly impressed!

Thank you.

[RageMachineAgainst]

Love the sound of the toms!

[160calories]

actually, this isn't bad because the lack of rolls or double bass, its just the same thing for 4 minutes. Bonham's solos had everything in it, this is just a showcase of how brushes play

[gmcjetpilot]

First Mike Michalkow is a professional drummer (search his name in youtube). This Vid shows all kinds of techniques and sounds with brushes on the kit.

"160calories" see his page. LOL! 12 yr old. Says hes 28? Punk

"this isn't bad because the lack of rolls or double bass" WTF?

"same thing for 4 minutes." Wrong Idiot

"Bonham's solos had everything in it" Again WTF?

"this is just a showcase of how brushes play" Just? Do play any instrument besides the skin flute boy? No shut up.

[gmcjetpilot]

"Bonham's solos had everything in it"

How is that relevant? By the way little girl John Bonham never used brushes.

Bonham Quote: "Brushes..? Nah. Hit 'em as hard as you can," from the book, "Thunder Of Drums", by Chris Welch & Geoff Nicholls.

""I can get an absolutely true sound. It hurts at first, but the skin soon hardens and now I can hit a drum harder with my hands than with drum sticks."

Obviously brushes lent their self more to Jazz and other styles of music than Rock.

[tbonedrumcam]

Why the hell is everybody bashing this guy? Just because there's no double bass breakdowns and fast rolls doesn't mean that it sucks!

All the scene kids and emo girlie guys can go bash there SJC kits and Sweet Rides somewhere else. This is actually pretty cool. It's unique, it's tasteful, it's rhythmic...

I like it.

[danmyers22]

Ok iv been a drummer for 7+ years, this is just no good im sorry guys. Its not bad drumming but it isnt great either by any means. Guys dont get pulled into the mind frame that if it sounds arty it must be really good.

[imover18gotityube]

It's whatever floats anyone's boat. Don't tell people something is shit just because you've been drumming for 7 years.

[gmcjetpilot]

I have been drumming since 1969 and played in many performing bands and recorded many times in studios. You? Have you ever played for hire, in front of live crowds, studio work, every play with brushes? Can play jazz, rock, big band, swing, funk and so on? No you can't so shut shut up.

I watched this video and saw at LEAST 20 cool techniques, some I knew some I didn't.

[danmyers22]

Yes I have played live, in studio with brushs and so on but im not getting into a childish argument of "im know more about drumming than you becaouse......" Look all im saying is it isnt anything special, which it isnt. If you love this stuff good for you. It just isnt my cup of tea

[gmcjetpilot]

"Yes I have played live, in studio"

Well that's better than playing dead? Your an idiot kid and say stupid things. Grow up. Can't say something nice shut up. And "studio" does not mean your mommies garage. LETS see you post your playing.

NOT MY CUP OF TEA..... fine that is not what you said. Did you notice the hi-hat foot technique? No, because you don't know anything.

"same thing for 4 minutes" Have you played music really? It's called an "ostinato" and music are patterns REPEAT.

[xIGoTnInJaSkIlLzx]

you tell em

[danmyers22]

Playing dead? Did you take english class? See that little mark? Its called a comma.

I could argue back and insult you with no knowledge of who you are like you did to me, but whats the point? That would be just silly and childish woudnt it?

Hey if it makes you happy, you win, your right, this video is awsome, you know loads more about drumming than i do, im just an idiot who knows nothing. That make you feel good?

Hey il even let ya have the last word.

Enoy mate, im off out.

[Radiokaos420]

@danmyers22 God damn YOU need to take an English class, half the words you typed weren't even spelled correctly

[Bokensewins]

wtf is dis

[imover18gotityube]

teh brushes

[160calories]

yah this isnt really anything amazing, agreed with nerdzkandy. its just a guy with brushes, anybody with a skill of playing drums could easily do this. 1 star

[imover18gotityube]

But would you? Music isn't all about technique.

[Sebbester88]

that was really interesting

[aassyr1111]

amazing......5 stars

[NERDZKANDY]

I rate this 2 stars, Nothing Special!

[ChUcKnOrRrIs187]

we-tall -did

[aassyr1111]

[harrythegreat1]
