From Loudwire: Amazing Drum Stunts

For your Sunday enjoyment: amazing drum stunts from Loudwire. I thought this was a fun video to share (just click the tweet). You'll notice your boy Tommy Lee is featured several times. Be nice to each other today and #NeverForget #September11.

In before Ace starts slagging the boys. Cool vid, Allyson!

You butthurt is showing in full effect, bkallday.
I must've bitchslapped you or whoever you're such a fanboi of, pretty bad.
"My work here is done." :)

Nice batches of roadie hardware, one & all... Odd that they left out Peter Criss, who was the first one to professionally elevate the drum kit in the rock milleau... Tommy took that & ran with it.

Of course, I don't expect most of the children to even be aware of Buddy Rich's antics which preceeded everyone on that list... Even the Loon, Keith Moon.

That was a nice jab, Ace. But Bkallday doesn't take kindly to having him turned over on his shell. He gets feisty, wobbling back and forth between coherence and rage.

Personally, I prefer when the drumming is the stunning, not stunt-filled. Some of those antics, in context, are pretty cool (The Who) but extraneous to the performance itself. But some of them--though spectacular--strikes me as being a cover for what is going on in front of, behind, or below them (you can guess _who_ I am talking about and, by extension, _to_).

Of course there is Bonham:

And a drummer of a more recent vintage:

Then again, what do I know? I am just a fan. And I like this guy too:

I agree Ace, Peter Criss shouldve received a nod for being the first to have a drum stunt with the levitating drums he had way back in the ALIVE days.

HIM, I think that last guy you have was on an episode of The Office. He is really fun to watch. I am with you, I prefer stunning over stunt-filled. One of my favorite drum solos is when Eric Carr from KISS did his solos and included those electronic (or whatever they are called) drums and mixed them with regular drums. Always sounded cool to me. Plus Zolton Chaney from Slaughter and I think he plays with Vince Neil too. His drumming is entertaining.

Oh yeah, Kiss are revered around the globe, for their vast musical talents. Owning Ace as usual. For some reason I picture a fat, balding never has been, that tries his best to look the part. Failing miserably...of course!

Bkallday, I do not see any comments here about KISS and their musical abilities, the posting is about drum stunts, not musical talent.

Thanks for your input. My statement stands.

Yikes! I think they kicked Bkallday out of CrossFit for demonstrating 'the rage'.

You spend time picturing what people on here look like? Really? How much time exactly? Makes your comment about "owning Ace" sound seven shades of creepy.

Of course your statement stands. Sure, with a bit of a lean to it. If it tried to actually walk it might fall down. But, yes, it stands . . . out as an obvious chestnut. Well played, Bkallday. Well played.

Can't we just talk about drummers?

As was posted.. Zoltan Chaney, of Slaughter, BlueManGroup, & Ol' Fat Vince's cover band is a top notch drummer.

Seems like I touched a nerve? Bwhahahahaha

Well, keep searching Bkallday. Keep searching. You will finally hit muscle.
September 14, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterHim
It's sooo blatantly obvious, to anyone with half a brain...that I already have. Lol
September 14, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterBkallday
How about a full brain? Did it work? Report back, Bkallday.

And it is cute seeing you using "LOL." Makes you more approachable. #bkalldayisatotaldream
