  • well at least here´s a video when no one can say Travis Barker sucks more because musical wise, and most probably technique wise, Barker outplays this garbage noise every time

  • Sounds like bees humming..

  • I like the super slow "Art Verdi" text floating along and how I expect someone to bust through the door with how old this footage looks, adds charm to it

  • yaaaaaaah. u can roll real fast on a snare. now lets see u play a whole kit.

  • what bpm?

  • Beautiful posture

  • this is stupid the only reanson why he can do that is because he uses traditional grip im in 6th grade in percussion u think im stupid

  • Comment removed

  • he defo knows how to please a girl xD

  • @conormather ahahahahahahha uhmmm ok

  • This guy is fast but sloppier than hell. If he's going to try to be Buddy Rich, he really should learn how to use natural movement. His left arm is at a really odd angle and his everything is coming from his arm or fingers. Your wrists are there for a reason, use them!

  • @drumuitar But, its a single stroke roll. You can only get blazing single strokes with good finger technique. Wrists only come in handy for the traditional grip hand depending on what finger technique you're using. It looks like the D.D. thumb-forefinger pivot technique that provides halved note value relative to your pivot movement. 8th pivot = 16th notes, 16th pivot = 32nd...etc.... I think he's moving his left arm to help with the pivot. But he does look like he's giving birth, lol.

  • its fast, but doesnt sound very good imo

  • The metronome seems a little irrelevant

  • what is that metronome set at?

  • HOLY SHIT

  • what a beast

  • @bmxlife81 yeah

  • Holy Shizz, that's fast.

  • lol nothing to do with Moeller, you can see this guy is not using real speed cos his hand is not moving fast so he IS using Moeller you numpty. watch some real fast drummers like ian paice and john bonham to name a few ok.

  • Comment removed

  • im at 216, not sure what this is?

  • i top 180 bpm flat now i'm working on little harder

  • im only at 184 bpm

  • what with the faces he was making....is he tryin to take a dump!...lol i got a 65 secod single stroke roll on here...chk it out with some other drum vids....

  • to bad he calls himself the worlds fastest when Mike Mangini holds the world record... and travis barker is a nobody compared to alot of the greats... period. for instance Carter Beuford, Steve Jordan, JoJo Mayer, Dave Weckl, Gadd, Morgan Agren, Luie Bellson, Dennis Chambers, Simon Philips, Steward Copeland. those are just a few that came to mind i could go on namedropping but that would just be pointless.

  • ...at one point he had won the wfd back in 2001 by doing 1116 strokes...breaking johnny rabbs title of 1070 something...so yes. He was the worlds fastest record holder...till mike took his shot.

  • have to correct myself i see, I didnt not intend to pun anything on Art, im sure he's very well aware of that he nolonger holds the records. title of the video was just wrong imo.

    should be renamed to previous wolrld record holder Art verdi: Single roll. or something.

  • World's Fastest Drummer Champ is a title given to anyone who has won the world championship past or present...hence the title confusion. Art is like a former boxing champ who people may still call champ out of respect for the former accomplishment.

  • this was 2 years ago man

  • cam taik aja kamu nie laawa lae travis barker main...teda2 bah..(u all play like shit,travis barker is still the best among the best)

  • travis barker anyone?

    or the drummer from rush

  • Travis Barker cannot be compared to Neil Peart.. Travis Barker is by far the most overrated drummer right now. He's great, but not nearly as great as everybody says.

  • @ItsShredTime so true.

  • @ItsShredTime i think that there both the best in their own specific genres of music

  • @jgkov49 Though this is true, you cannot deny that, if Neil Peart were to play the same music as Travis, he would do just as good if not much better.

  • @ItsShredTime ehhhh i dont know, i just dont think it would have the same enrgy and vibe as travis, not saying hes the super god awsome drummer of the world though, i just think there both unique in there own ways

  • @jgkov49 True, Neil has a very different playing style and is much more of an introvert. That would be noticeable in live performances, but not in recordings

  • @ItsShredTime, yaa im just gonna leave it at there both unique and defiantly the best in their styles, I'd pay to see either one of em

  • @jgkov49 Kudos to you. You've earned my respect. So many people here just get really angry and defensive if you say anything that they don't want to hear, but you're respectful and you show intelligence. Good work

  • @ItsShredTime ya ive noticed that and i try not to be like "them", and good luck on your drumming endeaver, I looked at some of your uploads and it looks like good stuff

  • @jgkov49 Well, thanks

  • @ItsShredTime i found someone who agrees!

  • @ItsShredTime or he cannot be compared because you CANT COMPARE ART.

  • @lepexi There's always somebody that's comparable, just may not have been found yet

  • @ItsShredTime Im a photographer who also plays drums, and i see music the same way as a photo or painting. it could look a billion ways, but it looks THAT way because someone created it the way they wanted. that cannot be compared and contrasted to other art. a critique is individual so thats different. but comparing music is ignorant. personal preference to "what sounds the best" is normal and fine, but taking two artists and putting them side by side to see whose better is stupid.

  • @lepexi Okay, don't be a douche, I misunderstood the previous statement because you said you cannot compare art, but you meant art as a thing in whole. I thought you meant art as in Art Verdi.. The guy's name. And either way, you can compare anything within your own personal opinions and express that, and that is what people do when they 'compare' things like this. And saying you cannot compare them in such a way is just saying that all opinions are false when they are not true or false.

  • @ItsShredTime i was agreeing with you but it doesnt look that way. I thought I said you can have your personal preference, yes, I did. So you can't say I meant all comparison like its opinion too. people, especially with drummers, compare this guy to that guy when they have different styles you cant compare in the first place. You can like one better, as I said. But as long as timing isn't off and etc. then comparing art that was made to sound only like itself to other art doesnt make sense.

  • @lepexi I agree, comparing two things as different does not make much sense, but you can still do it if you wish. But when I was doing the comparing, it was not based on style, but based on ablilty.

  • @lepexi finally someone who understands art.

  • @ItsShredTime Meh I don't entirely agree, but that's as good of an answer as I expect.

  • @ItsShredTime neither is neil peart. The MOST overrated drummer!

  • @cvcgac No, he isn't the best. But I wouldn't say he's the most overrated drummer when there are still those who obsess over Travis Barker

  • @ItsShredTime well yea...

  • travis barker should be "the drummer from blink 182" and NEIL PEART (god incarnate) should be the one everyone knows.

    i just don't get where you can make a comparison. Peart is the godfather of jazz rock fusion and thus one the main contributors (with Bonham) to modern rock music. traivs barker... is just a tattooed wanna be black guy.

  • don't forget Buddy Rich, man

  • Neil peart is amazing, but for me i like travis because of his style...

    and he still is a great drummer even if he's not the best... I'm sure professionals would agree

  • oh my gahwd! it's about time someone else is saying it. Everyone is all like travis sucks this and that. Simply not true.

  • @mygenericusernamenow

    Damn right, Travis has awesome style. And his technique is pretty much down so all those people who are like oohhh travis sucks are just being small minded, he started off playing jazz and in marching bands for god's sake.

  • pinky out, terrible technique.

  • Comment removed

  • he needs a new drumset

  • who cares how fast this dude can hit one spot over and over he probably cant play good.

  • that easy i play the drums and i could do that

  • but its a single stroke roll. anyone could do that as a double stroke roll.

  • Then show us.

  • Fast, clean and beautiful!!!

  • He looks like he's in pain the entire video.

  • Comment removed

  • Twitch? Do you not see the fingers? And if he can't play in the center, then what's that big worn spot IN THE CENTER. Kids like you need to pay attention more before running your mouth. Magoo, all you've proven is that you know nothing at all.

  • Shut the fuck up and do something about it. I don't give a shit what I said. What makes you think that you can say something like that, are you a professional percussionist? Because I don't see any videos of yours proving that you have the knowledge to say something like that. Guess what kid I am in the snare line of a well known high school marching band and I know a shitload more about drumming than you ever will, so suck my balls bitch.

  • ''Kids like you need to pay attention more before running your mouth''. I think you need to say that to yourself.

  • Most kids and even adults lately have no idea of the ridiculousness* they spew. And to see the vulgarity and anger when talking about a supposed artform is almost tragic. Your comments are always valued very much.

    Seth Davis

  • steelcurtain111, all you've proven is that you know nothing at all.

  • Magoo, steelcurtain111 is a serious pro drummer. He's no kid. In fact if you knew who he was you'd be apologizing right now. Besides he correctly mentions the worn spot in the center of Art's drum as evidence that your claim is incorrect. That's also not a twitch at all, but solid demonstration of Gladstone. He teaches that method in a studio next to Joe Morrello's. If you talk like this on your drum line I'll guarantee you won't be there long. Now walk away. You made a fool of yourself.

  • Why the fuck does everyone care so much about what I said. So what if I was wrong with my first comment, you don't need to sit there on your fat asses and correct me. Jesus christ with youtubers all you want to to is criticize peoples videos or THEIR COMMENTS' just mind your own fucking business and keep your mouths shut. So once again suck my balls

  • MagooGleS77. MSmithjazz is Matt Smith, a pretty famous young drummer who probably knows Art Verdi who's also relatively famous and realizes that your original comments were uneducated and lame. Show the proper respect. Feel honored that he took the time to come here and correct you. He can say anything he wants just like you, except in Matt's case it actually means something and aren't the ramblings of a kid poser with nothing going on for himself past some marching band bragging ;)

  • Everyone needs to seriously give it a rest, I said one comment, whatever I was wrong now chill

  • i'm just gonna say one thing......youre a fucking pussy for just not being able to admit you were wrong with some actual dignity. old enough to be a drumline so at least 16 and you can't even admit yourself being wrong without cussing people out and shit..grow up a little bit.

  • cussing people out and shit..grow up a little bit. .......?

    youre a fucking pussy....?

    okay then

  • i wasn't the one having to admit to be wrong. you deserve to be called a pussy.

  • wow magoo why are you trying to act like an internet tough guy mabye you should delete your account to get rid of the abuse you are a fucking pussy and you do need to grow up and your telling people to mind their own bussiness you posted a PUBLIC comment so of course people can see it maybe next time you should keep your mouth shut btw...you probably suck at drumming...

  • okay w.e i apologize to everyone now chill

  • And what the fuck, why can't YOU JUST MIND YOUR OWN GOD DAMN BUSINESS

  • What's your problem clown? You said something stupid then cussed out the room and wet your pants when you got called on it. Then you told everybody you knew more than a pro drummer because you played in a high school drumline. That's pretty much when people decided to let it play out. Your mouth brought this on...nothing else.

    Now you're dismissed.

  • Did you not read the 50 other times I said to people to mind their own business ?

  • that's weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • holy shit

  • thats is shite, my decapetated nan could do it quicker

  • look at his facial expression

  • masturbates much shit!!

  • ahahahahahahahahaha ah h  i jsut had the most disgusting

    deffo mate

  • This drummer is "real!"

    You know how i can tell?

    He is playing with the "sleepandRoll!" i have never seen anyone do that!

  • i know a guy who is a little fastes but he can do it with one hand

  • and u are the biggest dumbass and smallest music choice of the world!! if that evan makes sence i believe the proper format is "In The World"... but still very untrue maybe when u relize slipcock is the worst band ever and shouldnt evan have the name metal in there genre yo will realize what REAL metal is GEORGE KOLLIAS romain goullon derek roddy and those are just the metal drummers dude u are talking out ur ass dont evan bring jordison in this ballpark were not little kids man!!!

  • yea, it's called the marching band

  • yea thats fast. but are you goin to be in a band when you can only play on the snair!?

  • Lol marching band, and snare

  • travis barker is good but why does everyone bum him all the time theres always gonna be someone better ALWAYS!

  • no, for the BEST, there's nobody better.

  • is that shit on your nose?. :) smells like it to me.

  • travis barker play that fast one handed

  • Wrong, if he could, he would post a vid.

  • travis is better.

  • This guy is awesome. I love to watch his videos.

  • holy crap

  • He can "Sleep&Roll"  Amazing!

  • anyone that knocks this is either a "non-drummer"

    or someone who hasn't got a clue what it's all about.

    Doing something like this is much harder than playing an extremely hard beat, this can take months/years to master.

  • *slap*

  • Can you try that with your foot? :O

  • L'arte lei è una bella persona come pure il suo giocare. Lei è un'ispirazione a tutti noi e sono molto valutato nella

    comunità di drumming. Noi tutti l'amore lei!

    Seth Davis

  • very nice roll

  • this is bee sound

    waste of time

  • that is fake!!!...the same sound ovr n ovr...stole the sound...from sumwere...n speeded up th arms...u can fake anything nowadays due to pc....FAKE

  • I disagree

  • You support Travis Doucher Barker so don't tell me this shit is sped up.

  • Hes just asshurt because somebody is faster than his "idol".

  • naw come on dont bring barker into this. barker is a good drummer just maybe been pushed into things. but this guy i fink is not faking

  • thats kinda like buzzing...

  • I'm kinda like buzzing.

  • Looks like he's struggling to have a wank or something.

  • Dude that's exactly what I was thinking

  • speed is nothing without good sound.... straight single rolls on the snare... not something great to be proud of...

  • i thought he was actually gonna play something... this sux

  • he cant hold da stic for shit

  • aaaaaaaaah it must be hard XD

  • Neighbors are probably pissed.

  • he would be great for sound effects, like a swarm of insects flying, or just pissing random ppl off on the street, like walking behind them "acting" as a swarm of bees ;D

  • I wanna get a snare with a strap for like a marching band or some shit, and just follow people doing a drum roll now. LMAO

  • people would just like run when they heard that buzz ! :D maybe have a bee on a stick to freak em even more out

  • How many bpm is that ?xD

  • he did this on one of my birthdays

  • one of them? lol

  • yup yup

  • sum people might go ape at me lol.... but fake or not, it stil looks cool =)

  • 0:12

  • isn´t fake fuckers don´t be stupids. Just because some people are best than you u say that are fake to feel betters with yourself, please stupids

  • you just fast forward it

  • 0:48

  • At the beginning of the video the time was 2:59:13, at the end the time was 3:00:08. But since the video timer doesn't show seconds all we get is 2:59 and 3:00. 55 seconds have passed from the beginning to the end.

  • no DIPSHIT. less than a minute passed on the video AND the youtube timer. its not fake you fucking dumbass

  • less than one minute passed?

  • what do you think?

  • IT'S BEEN HAUNTING ME FOR DAYS!

  • FCK I CAN PLAY IT THAT DAT FAST!!!!!

  • Actually no you can't play that fast.

  • he can try damn you!

  • wtf that sucks thats not even hard people can do that single stroke

  • actually only 1 minute passes

  • yup

  • yes

  • thats good thats very good, not as good as your bimenin tho

  • holy crap 0_____o

  • he should have played this on something with less overtone.

  • Learn the moeller technic and anyone can drum this fast .. he aint the only one this technic's been around ages

  • Hes not just using molar, look at his right hand, its purely finger.

  • Learn to spell tecnique !

    This has nothing to do with Moeller.

    How do I know,,,I learned from Chapin, I have also taken a master class with Art.

    Two different worlds.

  • u spelt it wrong two

  • @Drumodad

    its spelled t-e-c-h-n-i-q-u-e

    stupid fucking people.

  • @Drumodad TECHNIQUE

  • this guy has lots of vids

  • That man's fingers could make a woman cum in seconds. O___o Such speed!

  • no he dosnt look his face and every thing else... its not to hard those are called gravity blasts and its not to hard but is hard... dosent make sense but u know..

  • that's not a gravity blast. while as fast, it's not that particular technique.

  • ninjahua (2 weeks ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply | Spam no he dosnt look his face and every thing else... its not to hard those are called gravity blasts and its not to hard but is hard... dosent make sense but u know.. why did u replay me with something that i know?

  • not grav blasts!

  • it waz a caset recorder and some vibration-sticks. I KNOW IT !

  • i like how art verdi uses some power, mangini did it with such a tiny swing

  • ??? He is no the world's fastest drummer mike mangini is?

  • holy shit

  • there is no fast drummer.

  • Art is a great person and a very dear friend of mine. The trolls that say anything about this man's technique and speed are fuckwagons. Mr. art is in his late 50's here, I am not so come fuck with me. Seth Davis

  • fuckwagons? lol.

  • Art Verdi needs to do what Matt Smith does. He has like a dozen guys who humiliate idiot trolls the minute they show up at his videos. Most times a troll will wet his little troll pants the minute someone says something about him. Art Verdi with bad technique? Hilarious.

  • You pack of morons. Art Verdi is a veteran professional who has played with some highly notable jazz greats. He is a staple with the WFD (World's Fastest Drummer) crowd and is an accomplished musician. Give me a break!

  • Nice dude, shit, he's even doing it the traditional way!
