  • Awesome!

  • very good but that drum solo you did on the britians go talent thing and you said you made it up was actully done by neil peart the drummer from rush your still a good drummer

  • flip your china!

  • God.. you should've taken the Dream Theater boy!!

  • @eucalyptus3480 not at all......

  • Ok so he's is definatly NO John Bonham!!, but he is only 13 so i say way to go kid, you got a good future ahead! Keep learnin and master those techniques buddy.

  • Allready said and i say again, show me your fucking videos doing better ;)

    Really good, you may not be the best but you do it whit paision

  • he is not so good that you can say : wow! that is gonna be a pro

  • hmmm you need a bit more work on the some of the transitions between beats, but still this is awesome man keep it up

    

  • his china is upside-down :/

  • @iSH1Tblood NO IT'S NOT YOU RETARD

  • @passion4drums eeehhhhhh........ yes it is...... and by the way i think your caps locks stuck

  • @iSH1Tblood look it up you screamo playing piece of shit. this is the way they used to, and still do play chinas. they used to be used as washy distorted rides, so they had them like this.... they aren't only for shitty breakdowns you know.

  • @passion4drums ok .... sorry.i didn't want you to take it as a personal insult..but you did.and i dont like screamo, i never have and i never will.name 1 screamo band i have listened to.

  • @iSH1Tblood i don't know who the fuck you are. i don't know your personal life. and you definitely took THAT way too seriously if you want me to start naming stuff you like? just weird.

  • @passion4drums yes i am obviosly the one that took a comment so seriosly.and if you didnt want to know my personal life why did you go onto my page??because you must have gone onto my page to say that i liked to listen to screamo. :D

  • @iSH1Tblood you stupid? i wouldn't go near your page... :D

    and right now i have no idea what you listen to, because you won't shut up about whether you do or don't listen to shitty 'music'. assuming things like "i know everything you went on my page". no. that make you a dip shit.

  • @passion4drums then what put into your head that i like screamo ??

  • @iSH1Tblood

    Well, it's not... It can be played either way. You get a bit of a different sound out of it but not much, so I'd assume that most people flip it the opposite of the one in the video so it'll extend the lifespan of both the cymbal and the sticks =P

    That's just speculation, but I know for a fact that it's played both ways.

  • Hey Keiran - on the off chance you read this I hope you don't pay any attention to the shit some people are saying on here - I can't believe people would diss talent and determinatin like yours - its just really sad. Keep doing what you love - you're fucking brilliant.

  • Hey Keiran - on the off chance you read this I hope you don't pay any attention to the shit some people are saying on here - I can't believe people would diss talent and determinatin like yours - its just really sad. Keep doing what you love - you're fucking brilliant.

  • @EdgedrummingKid Yeah, ok. you can toss your sticks around and do a few tricks with the fancy kit your daddy bought you. You're no superstar either, sonny, so until you are you need to give the kid his props and hope he doesn't blow your doors off on the way to the top. I'm pretty sure he would at least show you a little respect.

  • Upside down china. 

  • Dude all you guys have like big issues. Cuz this kid is fucking amazing. like no joke. he is a great drummer.

  • to those of you saying "oh, herpderp i play drums and im better than this kid. hes shit. anybody can do this." : do better then. post a video of you doing better. then, and only then, are your claims valid.

  • nah I can do better with a smaller kit. :)

  • JUST COVER ARCTIC MONKEYS THEN WE'LL COMPARE

  • kieren your big headed and not that good wow you weir on britans got no tallent woow who cares just giv it up

  • kieren your big headed and not that good

  • u are such a good drummer but one question what china is that

  • from spain: you are the best man. congratulations

  • i no lyk i would play him and beat him :/

  • there are way better drummers his age, but people who dont play drums thinks he is awesome because they dont understand anything about drums

  • there are way better drummers his age, but people who dont play drums thinks he is awesome because they dont understand anything about drums

  • It's a shame how this lad went on TV and played to the world and got a great response. Truth is, in the drum world, he's nothing. He's impressing people who know nothing about drums. Drums is a lot more than just speed and hitting drums. It's all about the feel and the passion for the music. This kid, he's nothing, and even people saying he's good for his age, to be honest, grades don't get you far if you wanna be a real drummer, and I've seen a lot better at his age.

    Peace.

  • omg i love kieran gaffney he is well fit loveyouu

  • try playing a slipknot song and using a double bass constantly superfast and try playing different solo

  • @SWOFOOFIGHTERS Are you fucking kidding me?!!? Slipknot is a shitty ass fucking band what the fuck don't even get on youtube anymore. Don't make a drum reference to slipknot when they fucking suck ass and they're posers. Try Veil of Maya next time or Meshuggah.

  • @xIMOG3Nx no I am not kidding you if slipknot suck ass then how comes people have acctually heard of them I have never heard of Veil of Maya or Meshuggah and you know what i listened to them and thought how shit. maybe this could try plays some A7X or some Here comes the kraken unless its a bit to hard for his puny little feet to use the bass pedal for once

  • Now let's listen to him playing that to a metronome. Fail

  • Much love for this boy :)

  • @09ambox  the boy is a disgrace to drumming

  • I loe how you all have to jump right on here to find something wrong with a 13 year old boy who is going after his dream...lol... Money , Americas got talent...who cares you take what you are given and you use it to become more. Its called talent and ambition, which I might add, not all have. I say good for him, and for his parents supporting him. Get a grip and find something that makes you happy in your life so you don't have to criticize others for actually doing just that!!!!

  • epicness all round !

  • wow thats amazing

  • Very good^^

    I got a friend who drums all day^^, And i see it in both your eyes.

    Keep up the good work:D

    But almost 33k views... should have been alot more, but hey, you will do great^^, just watch and see... This is just the start :P

  • 1:17-1:25 beast!!!

  • first all us drummer aint supposed to be comparing this dude to tony royster jr. he was and is a drumming prodigy i mean tony was way better than is at 11 but hes good

  • Wanna be drummers get very snippy about a kid who can play. Who cares about technique... it's not about tehnique...it's about the sound... and he makes it sound good.

  • So many haters...dunno what you're all on about - I think he's fantastic.

  • @SandiByrd thats because you dont play drums

  • i do drums and im good i know it but i also know im not better than him people that think they are at his age are just dicks and his parents hold him back...

  • the 16 ppl whom dislike this are totally lost,

  • why does he always look like hes going to die when he plays look at his face and arms

  • kieran its okay man! A little adivse though. tune your snare higher and sort some cymbals out haha they are alittle screwed over. :)

  • Tony Royster Jr.. Has everyone fogotten how good HE was at this age?

    I mean, really...

  • @rustyknight0303 so true

  • Well done Kieran I'm 12 and have been playing guitar and drums for 6 years U r REALLY GD

  • if he aint that good like you guys say, and you brag about being better, post your videos...

  • Comment removed

  • @decemberdolly15 Really? So what's the point? It's not YOU who can do that, so shut the fuck up and screw yourself.

  • vadrum and cobus are soooooooooo much better! it was good but i just didnt like it!

  • Hes sick

  • KIERAN URE SHIT ! 

  • my sis loves u kieran

    she keeps calling her self taya gaffney

  • my sis loves u kieran

  • before you say, yes i am a drummer but if u say u think he aint that good, ure more crazed than johnny of the shining

  • i like you kieran ,best of luck from malaysians. first i saw your audtion that you cry.i cry tooo.

  • awesome drumming u have a future as a awesome drummer if U need a band contact me on you tube

  • he has his china upside down.

  • Comment removed

  • @ super jukebox1, before mouthing off about kieran, i would suggest you concentrate on your own education, your spelling is terrible!!!!! He is a great kid, not a show off, he is not only talented but he is very grounded, thanks to his parents. Get your facts straight. And for the record, Jazz being music may be to your liking, maybe kieran just has the guts to try things a little bit harder than you.....and i can read music and spell!!!!

  • pretty good mate 

  • umm i dont know what to say,but do u know how to read music becouse your actually not that good.im 13 and ive played drums for about 9 years now.and the most important thing is not to show of!!! red music and then youll be good

    and do jazz cause is freakn music!!!

  • @SuperJukebox1 Kierans a grade 8 reader,what are you!!!

  • @kierangaffney14 in my country we dont have things like grades for drumming.i

  • umm i dont know what to say,but do u know how to read music becouse your actualy not that good.im 13 and ive played drums for about 9 years now.and the most important thing is not to show of!!! red music and then youll be good

    and do jazz cause is freakn music!!!

  • @SuperJukebox1 Kierans a grade 8 reader,what are you!!!

  • @kierangaffney14 just because people can read the english language doesn't make them a top class poet or author does it ? so just because he can read music at a high level doesn't mean he's automatically amazing. This was proved when he copied Travis Barker's remix of pump it in the semi final, have some creativity

  • @ dopsondude, you are obviously not a drummer and you certainly dont know me. so your comments are invalid and childish. people in the uk seem to be easily impressed and shows like BGT dont really help i guess. check this link then come back and comment ok. infact id like to hear everyones opinion after checking out this: just search "Tony Royster Jr age 12"

  • @rnbyido Kierans not Tony Royster,but hes playing for 2 and a half years and hes a gradt 8 reader so theres nothing more to say really.

  • well EX drummer if your so f**king good why did you give up!! maybe because you was so shit no one liked you! your just jealous because you didnt get famous from playing the drums. i saw him in live show last week while on holiday and he was amazing. he is only 13 he has got years left to get better and learn more.

  • Honestly I don't care if it's good in a technical way or not. It sounds f**kn nice to my ears and I love to see his passion in playing and thats all that matters!

  • guys cmon dnt send harsh comments on this kid cmon only cause hes aged 13 cmon gotta be nice to the kid nice channel kieran and nice vids:D except my freind request thanks mate keep up the good work:)

  • Don't want to be harsh on the lad but...he's not that good. As a ex drummer this is Very very basic stuff even for a lad of his age to be honest. People need to check out tony royster jr as a 12 year old on here, now that's talent. Can't really see this young man doing anymore than clubs and pubs...in the future, No offence.

  • omg a person who plays rock beat 1 for 10 mins is a way better drummer than you!!!!learn about rhythm and you might actually get some skill!!!

  • great technique for his age... he is good ... not the best but i think he is good..

  • Kieran's an awesome drummer, fair enough he's not in an official band or anything but he's amazing I saw him live on the bgt tour 2 days ago and I was screaming like mad :L I'm not a drummer or anything but I think he's immense :)

  • i love u kieran. ur gorgeous and i sooooooo wanna meet u. ur amazin x

  • loveee himmm :D ..wth! he aint tht good hav u seen him !! hes amazinn !! see all the ppl sayins hes crap ..go do one (: hes amazin <3 !

    GOO KIERANNNNN <3 :D xxx

  • Dude I saw you on Britains Got Talent.... Excellent work bro! Keep it up!

  • dude keep workin.... and fyi.. u dont like swing ur arms like crazy.. it hecka weird and a hella bad habit..

  • he aint that great is all i was saying ffs stop saying im jelous i know im better than him haha i dont care if you think im jelous why would i be of him he isnt bad just not that good ://

  • @iDudeMapex OH NO not your shit again

  • @twinterrors44 fuck off virgin

  • @iDudeMapex whar slag?

  • @iDudeMapex is "virgin" meant to be an insult? oh my.

  • He may not be "the greatest drummer ever",but he is only 13,and he's only going to get better,what he has over most of you guys complaining is his passion,he's a great little performer,and he has major cuteness factor=)

  • @iDudeMapex YOur gay. lets your video. what do you do. your not a pro i bet. just a wanna be like everyone else!

  • @iDudeMapex i believe you 100%

  • @iDudeMapex piss off little man. you can't even spell and you sure as hell can't drum. stfu until we see the videos of your amazing skills.

  • Speed isn't everything mate.

  • He has his china upside down..

  • He's not that good. Anyone who can acctually play drums will know this is only about grade 3 or 4. Not that amazing for 13 year old.

  • "A" for effort and definitely have talent - however - go out and get yourself a collection of RUSH cds or mp3 to find out how drums are suppose to played and especially Neil Pert drum solos ( watch?v=gEVrN9SdRuk ). Also check into stuff with Charlie Adams (ex. watch?v=QYW63J648i0 / watch?v=ZOJXNDH8-Mo)

  • check out my video guys :D its a drum solo man , hell yeah :D !

  • Guys he ain't that good, if u understood drumming you would know what I mean.

    The difference between him and other drummers his age is that he's out there doing, he's a doer , which I admire :)

  • @TheMightyScrap123 you are absolutly correct

    

  • @TheMightyScrap123 You're just hating on his skills! i bet you wish you was this good you bitch! this kidd is off the chain. fuck you!

  • @TheMightyScrap123 exactly. he IS good for where he is. (: He's only been playing for a few years and he's young. he's got a long time to learn and keep improving. he's got MAJOR drive.

  • hahahay crabs

  • @TheMightyScrap123 true just cause he can beat on the toms fast doesnt mean shit!

  • @TheMightyScrap123 Very well summed up. He is good and sounded good a BGT with the backing tracks, but there are hundreds with similar ability. Not all of them actually get out there which he must be admired for.

  • @TheMightyScrap123 he drums for fucking 1 year. He is fricking good for a beginner so stfu ??

  • @TheMightyScrap123 Fuck you, look him up in Britains got talent 2010 semi final, I think you'll think different

  • @TheMightyScrap123

    ur absloloutly right

    im 11 and ive just done my grade 5 and i have only been playing for bout 18 months. there are hundereds of drumming prodigys the same or even better than kieran , tyler hudson for example. just not everybody has had the chance 2 go onbritans got talent. my house is too small to have an acoustic kit and they r too expensive, so i have 2 make do on a small electric 1. not every1 has the chance or money that kerian has

  • @TheMightyScrap123 dont think u made it on Britains got talent did ya mate..

  • @TheMightyScrap123 What you say is true cause if ur a alright drummer then u can do like all his moves with a little bit of practice but you wouldnt really go to Britans Got Talent would you?

    Guy Has BALLS!

  • (for haters of kieran) if hes so rubbish id like to see all of you haters do what hes doing!

  • @17GreenDayFan17 I wouldn't expect much more from a green day fan...and no i'm NOT hating, but he is a very average drummer, any drummer that has played for about a year could play what he's playing, he's young, and has potential, but there are millions of drummers that can do what he does, he's nothing special

  • @17GreenDayFan17 thats us told...tool

  • omg! u realy are totaly awsom, u deffo shd have won BGT !

  • Love him!! He is better than most childern his age ...If he wasnt got he wouldnt of got to the final so shut up okay!! He is gr8 ... I really do love him tho is hott :P x

  • Love it !

    Your an amazing drummer! xxxxxxx

  • You play good, but could've done something more impressive for BGT. You're a good player but I could have done better. And your china cymbal is upside down

  • i thin theres hundreds if not thosunds of drummers at his age that are better than him

  • @louisandpetesuggs Yep. Theres a drummer in my school whos been playing literally his entire life, hes 14 and his dad used to be a drum tech for The Prodigy.

  • Glad to see he is in da final of BGT

  • didn't even realise you were using a double bass pedal til the end tbh :')

    i dont reckon you're that good but i think it's cool the way you've kept trying and have had the guts to go on britain's got talent in the first place unlike most people :)

    oh and for the tards saying his china cymbal's uspide-down to try to look smart, it's not, technically that's the right way up, just most drummers turn it upside down...peace ;)

  • You are one idiot!

  • @smileysmile1

    dunno why you replied saying that to what i commented because everything made total sense, if you're a drummer explain why i'm an idiot, if not, shut up.

  • He is gawjuss and really talented

  • Kieran, you're amazing! :) Keep up the good work mate. You'll go far!

  • you rock kieran =D

  • This Guy Is Amazing for a guy who has only being playing drums for such a short while the level he playing at is amazing reminds me of a certain matt helders arctic monkeys drummer

  • can he play any groovs his whole style is just solo shit try him on some steve gadd licks and shit like that he would choke

    he isnt that great

  • @iDudeMapex ...i dont see u have a video response to this?

  • @iDudeMapex Dude put up your video's! Your just a hater because you have NO LIFE! You trash me and Keiran on Youtube and your page has a video about asses on it? Fits you right. I KNOW i will kick your ass on drums. I don't know about Keiran but Im not gonna take your crap little BOY. Have fun cutting the grass loser!

  • @BryceKretzRocks The judges at Britain's Got Talent seem to think that he knows one or two things about drums. Why don't you get your sorry ass on stage and then we'll see who has 'no life'.

    Kieran, keep up the good work, you'll go far son! :)
