Considering how sweaty drummers without giant costumes normally get, I hope they burned that afterwards. Also, that drummer belongs in a metal band. Top-class double-pedal bass drum use.

I’d bet he IS in a metal band (not sure whether with or without the costume, though. Would work either way.)

I would attend their concerts as long as the rest of the band are also in costume.

Was the “conductor” providing signing services or just enjoying herself?
Truly a wonderful thing.

I think my favorite bit of it is that they’re not just showing off with the tempo-keeping when they go blast beat, they’re playing WITH the song, with some Keith-Moon-Esque “lead drums” during certain parts. It’s a very coordinated, tasteful effect.

Wonderful - but the video’s caption (using the word ‘destroys’) was misleading advertising. I awaited a Keith Moon-like destruction of the drum kit and was disappointed.

That drummer don’t give a fuck he’s playing kids songs, nothing can contain his metal. Love it, and I also hope he’s wearing a cooling vest otherwise I don’t see how he wouldn’t pass out from the heat

I did too the first time I saw this, which was unfortunately a while ago.
I still get much joy from it though on my many repeated viewings.
As a drummer myself , I bow at its fuzzy and undoubtedly sweat-logged feet! Skillz!

As the drummer in my old band used to say “if your right foot is fast enough, you don’t need a double kick drum.”

Technically, Nyangostar is half-cat, half-apple.

Flashback to 1975 and the first time I saw Rush in concert. Neil Peart set the world on fire.
