waggie, waggie, waggie.

[waggietoo]

waggie lipsync, take a look

[EpikHater]

I can do better.

[TheItchyFetus]

1:38 hardest bit and best

[seroj187]

Anyone who does not believe this is Jacob should watch his live performance

at the 9th Annual Armenian Music Awards, start from 7:04 !! Pretty much does the solo, LIVE ...for all you non believers!!

[XXConspiricyTheoryXX]

I had a kit like that one time when i was 12. Then i traded it for a bike with pegs.

[Typhlosion1576]

Is it really necessary to have drums and cymbals behind u that ur never gonna use

[wallygrim]

This is guy a drummer demon... It sounded more like metal but ended up as jazz.... Whew, almost gave me a heart attack with the beat!

[InfamousUnhuman]

Fuck. That.

[ViANNEyl0VE]

holy shit.

thats all i can say

[teen2x305]

this should be my alarm tune...wake up with a freaking heart-attack lmao lol jk

[spongebob0622]

how do you get out of there

[DuDrummaBoy]

@spongebob0622 a better question is how do you get in in the first place?

[meinstein13]

@DuDrummaBoy he doesn't get out... he just lives back there :P why do you think hes so good? lol

[03gorem]

@spongebob0622 You don't why do you think he's so good

[TTLproductionz]

lol it said hes 26 in spanish. wow.

[tigertank557]

@Zipperhedd i dont have special needs u asshole it just sounds a little fast and it sounds more like noise if he slowed it down a little it would sound better

[tigertank557]

this isnt music this is noise

[Nic214E]

@tigertank557 this is rhythm you noob



[nengstro]

@tigertank557 Nope this is drums, which is the FIRST EVER INSTRUMENT to be invented by man to make music. Just because you dont understand what is going on dont fucking get cranky on us.

[SuperChamona]

@tigertank557 You aren't intelligent enough to post a comment onto this video.

[xHUTSEx]

im faster on the double bass!! i will make a video !

[perfectlifehateit]

Are you 12?

[MrVitocapone]

a little better as your getting older,reaching new heights ,just dont fall like a soldier

an Army of one ,is better than a four leaf clover.Just in Beaver takes over ,cause the jews control the folder of existance to the media of persistant abuse ,yeah its great to be alive !

[CaraAsoleada]

WHAT THE FUCK?! HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME...'cept I don't like the whole band that starts up with him at the end >_<' he doesn't need it :P

[kilja11]

fuck me! this kid was like the best drummer on the planet at 8! .......4 years later!

[666Ricci]

Sometimes,it seems like he looses the rythm,but then....BÄM FUCKING FAST DOUBLE BASS IN YOUR FACE BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^

[budmaster27]

idk not in to neil pert shit.

[mcrfreako1011]

I cant do that.

[TheDonnieDarwin]

12? Let's see a live video and maybe then I would enjoy it... This could might as well be some random jazzfucker doing his shit... And why on earth would you put such a shitty photo on the track.... It's not I don't believe that it is actually a twelve year old playing... But come on... Give us some actual footage then..

[Shazzamnwithoutus]

@TheDonnieDarwin who ever the hell it is, they're better than you

[HerrXxVorragend]

@TheDonnieDarwin It is jacob armen, there are Videos of him today on youtube.. Search for JacobArmenTV

[CoolCoverBro]

@TheDonnieDarwin Jacob Armen is a real person, and he's been playing drums since he was three years old, you should see the video of him playing at age 7.

[SuperChamona]

@TheDonnieDarwin The title says Jacob Armen. His 7-30 year old videos make it believable. :p but I agree 100%

[drumdude360]

@TheDonnieDarwin it was him when he played this nobody had cameras only recorders... your lucky you got this

[theshantanator]

@TheDonnieDarwin

/watch?v=I8cvKImVadE

theres him at 7

[colourfulwithaU]

@TheDonnieDarwin

@TheDonnieDarwin

This very drum solo was posted on Jacob Armen's MySpace account by the man himself (myspace dot com slash jacobarmen), and while this was not captured on video, earlier drum solos have been. For example, a solo from when he was just seven years old: /watch?v=c5rbiOaqJiU and one from when he was nine: /watch?v=z-_wNsp7Wqo.

[colourfulwithaU]

@TheDonnieDarwin

And do note that on the drum solo where it's posted on Armen's MySpace page it says it was "released" on 1 Jan 1993. And Armen was 12 (or around 12) that year.

[77flopo77]

Talent.

[drumdude360]

1:39 ????is that possible????

[LvnAction]

Great work Jason. Nice interdependence.

[TheMysteriousSage]

@LvnAction JACOB! IT SAYS JACOB LOL AHAHAHA

[knyceondrums]

omg. he crazy with the doubles nd triples!!

[starr101010]

dude...DUDE did i just get showed up by a 12 year old???

[pstuddn]

@starr101010 hahaha i think we all did man

[TheArtOfKilling]

1:38 WTF!! This is sooo damn complicated to speed up while contuinuing in that ride-bell-beat imo..

Damn.. Jacob U 're Awesome

[jimistreets]

Wow!! What is Jake up to nowadays?!

[Cuestic]

Whoa. Double timing.

I don't think anyone else realized that.

This man is indeed a champ, though.

[DragonBolt67]

this sucks.

[MrSamTheFlowerMan]

I can tell this kid is an amazing drummer, but parts seem out of time, or just not pleasant to listen to :P Still a good drummer.

[DannyWDrums]

this is kinda boring, he´s good and all but. I dunno. it´s just boring

[missineichen]

@DannyWDrums i know what u mean. hes absolutely brilliant, but its too artistic/post modern for my liking. i like when music just sounds like music

[Theshabadaman]

FAKE AND GAY

[mumjihov]

@Theshabadaman  troll

[ameliorate2695]

to me, drummings all about the groove. speed is something you worry about later

[xossie]

I calculated, i got to be better when I'm 22356,5 years old :D

Super

@jbplaser

He's so incredibly good that he has nothing to learn about drumming, so now he's making this stuff (Wich I dont like as much as a nice solo)

Thomas lang fixed this by learning to play other instruments, he's also an awesome guitar player.

[jblplaser]

THIS KID SUCKS

[ridegthang]

u serious??lol look at Jacob's other vids then talk!

[drums2play1]

No Royster Junior, thats for sure....

[maccagrabme]

@drums2play1 No Royster Junior? Oh come on, this guy is a friggin genius. Royster was exceptional at 12 but Armen is a freak of nature. There aren't many pros that can play this well as adults let alone 12. The amount of skill this requires is beyond comprehension and I guarantee you not even 1% of the worlds population of drummers will ever get to this kids level let alone what he can do as an adult. Technically we are talking beyond Buddy Rich level here.

[aaaaaaaaaajgvgjyc]

"Shredding on drums", are you retarded?

[cragnog]

@aaaaaaaaaajgvgjyc I see you have no tolerance for fun with words. Well I'll you know that I say shredding for any instrument if the player is doing that instrument's equivalent to shredding. AND I am not retarded. So there you go you boring person.

[aaaaaaaaaajgvgjyc]

@cragnog Thanks for the explanation, it helped.

[DeloWaters]

This ones called...Fireworks.

[11NewAuthor2]

woooooooooooooooowwwwww !!!!!

[mystras100]

i remember the 1st time i saw Jacob play,and i told my wife this kid is got the skills

and the feel of a40 year old studio session drummer.

GOD BLESS YOU JACOB

Paul Bonham Mavrakis

[ImAdRuMmEr5545]

Uhh ya.. Sorry kid but u suck.. This soubded horible and had no flow... Noteven that fast but that seemed what u wer buildin round..,.

[TheSpoinky]

@ImAdRuMmEr5545 no shit his fucking good

[cary12c1]

@ImAdRuMmEr5545 No fucking flow what are you on and not even fast are you listening to this in slow motion? and it doesn't really matter how quick he is .

But my one word to sum you up is jealous.

[itsmark101]

i Thought it was a decent solo and on the part where he started to use a cowbell it seemed like he got of time

[datura1234]

@itsmark101 nope he kept time throughout the entire part on the cowbell. he was just doing some beat alterations. easy mistake tho.

[itsmark101]

@datura1234

well he shouldnt have done that beat alterations. it does not sound to good

[EpikHater]

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII--.

[katiea4real]

Talent, I'm sure but I would not listen to this for leisure or anything. It's rather shotty sounding, haha.

[inkman38]

good solo, but not very technical at all.

[thedrummingcaesar]

I almost did that when i was like 52 .....

[Taygon094]

Oh well, i aint gonna say that this guy sucks or anything, but it seems like among lots of teenagers, that speed is what counts. i mean, listen to his drum pedals, its not that impressive to spam and not keep any rhytm at all in his moves. It is just wierd to meet drum solo vids on youtube of young teenagers who focuses on speed and very little else. it is not like i want to visit youtube every day and just have to listen to this over again.. ima say, simply.. its boring. but good work anyways.

[Chefen92]

@Taygon094 I don't think you know that much about drumming! :)

[Taygon094]

@Chefen92 uh well.. i am a drummer myself.. played drums in 7-8 years so i would suppose i know a bit. i know more than you know what i know about the drums ;)

[HAKZORE]

@Taygon094 Ha yeah you right man a lot of people do focus on speed but I still think this kid is talented! Like crazy good man.

[maccagrabme]

@Taygon094 You cannot say this sucks because you don't understand what he is doing and probably never will because its way beyond your ability and comprehension. This kid learnt what you know in 7 years in about 7 days. Don't feel too bad though because most drummers on the planet were never this good at the age of 12 either. This guy is eating poly-rhythms for breakfast , a child prodigy if ever I heard one. One of the best drummers I've ever heard.

[Taygon094]

@maccagrabme well i never said he sucked and for first i just said that i am a drummer, and i have yet to see you present yourself as one so i am pretty damn sure on what i am speaking about. Drumming aint about speed.. so rager, keep it within you, i am a drummer and will reach the very essense of drumming as i grow. thank you

[brinelaxE3]

holy double bass

[meyster1994]

@brinelaxE3 non, he can run with only one foot Haha !

[a7x4life521]

Completely 100% amazing. I couldnt believe it when you started shredding on the toms....

[0011philboy]

dude, u uploaded this in 2007 and u called ur account name to daviddrummer2011?

[minmariahehe]

dang he can play drumd i don´t know what to say?

[ujjwolcobain]

[ujjwolcobain]

mind blowing super i like it !!!!!!!!!!

[bettyreeves]

[hunters509]

Too bad it doesn't show him actually performing....who's to say it's really him?

[bobthetomatoerox]

the quality of the picture gets raped to the death by this solo

[64SWAMPRAT]

would love to see the video of this

[dude6037]

[2cfhdh1]

[kiwilover135]

just sounds like banging on drums!

[mrpaddywagon]

@kiwilover135 this gets really technical. solos are more than just a beat you can bob your head to

[justibisnotfag]

he just play something..

[pooptopoopapples]

its just a bunch of speed and little technique. He does have talent though...

[mvztvp]

he dosen't move.

[c3laya]

why is he only makin noise and not music 

[Kbling22]

@c3laya because its a solo not a song ._.

[c3laya]

@Kbling22 yea well his solo sucks

[Kbling22]

@c3laya in ur opinion, but this shit is awesome

[ruffles272]

Jealous much?

[bronco3250]

@c3laya You have a small dick and there isnt anything you can do about and that probably the reason you hate.

[c3laya]

@bronco3250 that aint wat ur mama said

[c3laya]

@bronco3250 that aint wat ur mama said

[thebeni1990]

@c3laya its a style of playing drumms!!

[ladysman12471]

Lol let me see the kid actually play ad not a pic fail could have taken this off many drum solo websites XD

[Trafficcontrol]

@ladysman12471 The Guy is about 30 Years old now, And has his own website, facebook and others.

[explodingpimp]

@ladysman12471 You're an idiot... just watch one of the related videos with him playing. Then you'll know that he really is this good.

[ladysman12471]

Lol you could master a eat like this in three months if you actually put ur mind to it

[iHATEyouMFdie]

lol im better

[bmx69bmx1]

lol......It takes way more skill than it does to type a negative comment......bet you couldn't even come close to this after 5 years!!! alexgo...and i'm a guitar player...my drummer leaves his set in our studio....this kid is baddass!!!

[wendileona]

That snare sounds fantastic, what a tone and attack, the crack and ring!

[TheMetalhead52]

dam its joeyjordison all over again! lol

[tazwinsulose7]

doent evern saound good

[TheMetalhead52]

@tazwinsulose7 nice spelling. lol

[alexk5004]

@tazwinsulose7 Obviously you know nothing about how hard it is to do this, specially at 12, even 7...

You go find a drumkit, try and keep rhythm this fast, GOod luck mate

[tazwinsulose7]

@alexk5004 i've been playin drums since i was 4 i am now 15 this stuff is probally the most easiest stuff to play that i have seen in a while...

[TOAOM123]

[xxBroProductionsxx]

to be clear, "this is a solo just audio from when Jacob Armen is a kid prodigy and plays at 12 years old and is nowadays 26, you wonder how he plays now?"

[HartRockProductions]

WTF hes only 12?? OMG

its Joey Jordison's Son....or younger brother ^^



[howycwap]

@HartRockProductions

what an insult

[neo4reals]

@HartRockProductions No he shits all over Joey Jordinson, you need to listen to more music

[Kbling22]

@HartRockProductions joey doesnt have shit against this

[HartRockProductions]

@Kbling22 I personaly think yes, its only a cuestion of Musikgenre.

MEtal is more heavy...his stile is complietly diferent...You can't really compare them

[royalsteven]

Yeah the age doesn't really matter it is about the skills/talent. I could drum like this already in my mother's womb.

[PaulJordan318]

Wow!

[LiLMasterMan13]

damn thats nice :o

[koledrum]

AfuckinAmazingstuff!!!!!

[AMS130]

Dang the toes and finger WOW "AWSUME"!!!!

[dingybanez]

[metallicguns95]

I really don't care who it was doing it or how old they were, that's an incredible drum solo. lol

[lazyguy1393]

eh, drumans video of this guy playing at the tonight show is better, especially since hes kicking ass on the show when hes only 7!!

[LeeHaydn]

Fuck me drunk,,

[Dalb0p]

Thats horrible.. At 00:50 when the double bass kicks in, Theres no talent there, just fast double bass...

[alexgo4210]

@Dalb0p it takes skill to play a fast steady beat on the double bass

[Dalb0p]

@alexgo4210 yeah, but it doesnt take much skill.. you can drum for a few months a pick that up. but obviously hes good, it just doesnt take to much to do a solid fast beat on a double bass.

[Smithers8204]

If you don't believe just watch the video when he's 7 and kickin ass. He was well on his way then. i only wish

[EArockerful]

Fuck!!! this boy is amazing!

[isitjusticeorjustus]
