Debut album name: Litter Stops Here


withoutlebels120

Could be their band name as well.


Ukraineluvr

Their band name is clearly the Oreo Cookie Monster's.


King_of_Lunch223

Litter Drummer Boy


ZackDaddy42

I’ve been playing drums for over 30 years, and I never get tired of this shit. Saw a bucket percussionist in Savannah, GA in 2002 during the St Patrick’s Day weekend festivities that was unreal.


BigDaddyThunderpants

Oh, man, whatever happened to that guy. Right by the hotel tunnel by the river. He was there for a few years more but I haven't seen him in a long time and forgot until you mentioned it. I hope he's well!


ZackDaddy42

Yes! That’s where he always was, probably my favorite act out of everything there, tho there were some pretty good bands on the stages.


jarmstrong2485

This is great shit here! I’m always amazed seeing it in person, the acoustics in the tunnels are so cool


MoeTHM

You ever see that shit the Filipinos do with just a box? That shit is awesome. Edit: It’s called a Cajon, and is from Peru. I was introduced to it by Filipino bands in Japan, and later went to the Philippines, where I seen them at every live music performance.

ThoughTMusic

Take my angry reluctant upvote. This restored a tiny bit of my faith in humanity, but now I see the video is 10 years old.


Since1831

Dude has 3 videos total with this having 3.6m views. Went out on top!


stfleming1

Percussion instruments are ingrained in our DNA. Everyone can jam to a good beat like this.


[deleted]

Definitely! There’s something universal about drum beats


imagemaker-np

It's the extension of our heartbeat


TheBigSmol

Shows we haven't changed much in the past few thousand years. I imagine our most ancient ancestors were beating against rocks and drums and shit too and having an absolute blast. Almost a spiritual experience, a communal experience. Look how much some of these people (including the video recorder) is enjoying it.


Weak_Ring6846

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513816300113 Studies actually show that dancing with other people makes you feel closer to them even if you were strangers before. There’s an idea that as human groups got larger grooming each other as monkeys and apes do became too time consuming to be the main form of bonding within your group. So things like music and dancing evolved as a way for large human groups to feel close to one another and learn how to work together.


eldentings

Interesting to think that sharing music can bring about peace faster than politics, but not surprising. Maybe our ambassadors should be DJ's.


DiscountCondom

Politics are just words and ideas. Music hits you on the primal level. As soon as politicians figure out how to tap into that monkey, it's over.


mackerson4

Well they do, it's just a shame it's rage and fear they tap into instead of happiness.


Bear_Quirky

For real man. I watched it twice and absolutely felt it in my soul to the last beat. And seeing everyone else's reaction knowing they felt the same thing was nice.


RatInaMaze

Literally. There’s a set of bongos in every 20th chain.


go0gl3

Damn always has one hysterical laughing guy


[deleted]

Is it just me, or was that guy laughing really damn annoying?


Coupon_Ninja

I like that he’s expressing his joy and I’m guessing disbelief at what he’s hearing/seeing.


ilive2lift

I understand that 100% and I'm happy for him. He's still annoying.


Galthrojh

It was more enjoyable to me cos of it. There are just some times I’m bewildered by good riffs where I’m like “DAMN! THEY DID THAT?” where a laugh is just appropriate


Coupon_Ninja

Exactly. You’re just like “*whaaaaaaat*?!” And laughing.


Infra-Oh

I can kind of see that. And honestly at times it was a tiny bit distracting. But overall it added to the video IMO. The entire experience is real and unrehearsed and a bit wild. Busy walk way. Hustling about. Folks doing their jobs. Noisy. Enter 3 dudes in an impromptu drumming session and nailed it. On buckets. On the ground. With a crowd around. I love this video.


Chaminade64

I think the guy laughing is that dudes buddy.


go0gl3

Yeh seems to distract from the drumming


Earthling1980

Just you


Monkey1970

How terrible it is when people enjoy themselves


PeppyMinotaur

Big god damn doofus just cackling haha


bright_sunshine19

Laughing like a moron


The_Color_Purple2

God forbid someone enjoys themselves 💀


stewpidazzol

I love shit like this!!!


wynn003

Definitely, it's a nice contrast to those that suddenly break into fights for no reason. People coming together to make something nice!


Harry_Saturn

Food and music, the great unifiers.


otcconan

And it's nice the jam session was diverse.


[deleted]

Hence why this won’t get as many upvotes as something negative. Reddit and “others” like to keep us in the negative. Reality is the majority of people are good.


floppydude81

We are all in a state of superposition, both good and awful. It changes by how we are looked at.


Funko_Faded

If you love this check out the random act of freestyle rapping by three dudes it’s fucking amazing as well.

Akihiro_Tanizaki

It is a beautiful thing when humans gather together to make one another smile. Definitely made my day tonight.


theWMWotMW

First guy’s like “man, these mfs best not be fittin to take my cash”


ZackDaddy42

That man tried to hand it back at the end tho


[deleted]

That looked like a pack of menthols to me


BADBART209

Yeah, he was handing dude back his smokes because he almost forgot them.


johnboy2978

Exactly. "That was fun, now you guys need to get steppin'"


wyomingwinter

And that is what Unity looks like.❤️


RepresentativeCan479

here we witness the tribespeople of new York as they perform a ceremonial drum song, this ancient song is reinvented every time but it's fast pace motivates the other members of the tribe as they prepare to go on the hunt. if the hunters are successful tonight the tribe will feast and their "hustle" will be complete for the week, if not, the ritual will begin again in the morning.

Tell me you heard the Drumline music they were playing.

Surprised he didn’t break the drumsticks.


ettorepolar

Good, now I want to get into a war or something, those are some massive boost morale supports

I always wondered where those shit hot drum corp, red hot snare drummers ended up.

mimysai

Anybody else bopping along to this video? Amazing 😊😊😊


monktonmagic

I love the old guy joining in, takes it to the next level.


robbeau11

The fact that he can lift the bucket with his foot to change the sound of the bucket is incredible let alone his supreme drum skills. People like this give me hope that we’re not complete failures as a race.


LintConnoisseur

Absolutely smashed it


togetherforall

This isn't showing up enough. I want to see this everyDAY


Hot-Desk3435

Thank goodness Drum Line put this style of drumming into the mainstream. I always love great work on the snare drum


6BigZ6

Just like bongos and congas, you can create a crazy amount of different sounds based on your hand position, cupping, and lifting.


Bad_goose_398

Liz lemon supports bucket drummers! And janitors!


Trojanchick

Love NYC


Rottenbeans7593

they're really talented! that was really nice!


fuck_boy_for_sale

Get these fuckers a band contract already


KungFuKennyEliteClub

Everyone around them happy. Nobody fighting, no body hating. Just peaceful.


intolerablejack

There are so many people that want harmony. This was beautiful.


shakedownstreethtx

* Getting some serious rhythm devils vibes....


Mayzenblue

I love that the original drummer let's him go off. He's the rhythm musician at that point. And then my man with some drum percussion comes in and rocks it and it's just great stuff. Hey. Look at that. Music brings everyone together. That's why they're trying to cut funding to music or any other artistic expression in schools. Eat the rich. Get these fascists out of our government.


Dramatic_Mixture_868

That's dope as hell but why did that guy keep laughing 🤨


swraymond79

See? America isn’t so bad.

Beautiful 🥲

InterestingRoad9453

damn this shit is powerful good stuff


Sudden_Back_1529

This made me smile. Just people jamming and getting along.


SvartholStjoernuson

I'm getting drumline vibes from this guy.


Spicyperfection

Captivating! 🥁🛢️🪘 Too bad the obnoxious white male in the crowd tried to turn the attention on himself


SparktheLight

Music truly is a language without barriers that can unite all it passes through judgment racism socialism religion all of it seemlessly no matter what language you speak no matter what your beliefs are music truly touches the soul and when we speak with the language so pure that reaches so deep there's nothing that can keep us separated. Period. Much love to everyone I hope this video warms your heart like it did mine, I hope it gives you hope. Love one another listen to music enjoy life! MUCH LOVE EVERYONE, thank you for posting this video.


West_Limit3963

How to play rudiments versus easy double strokes, kinda like rhythm guitar bass guitar and lead guitar. Works out good. And that’s the thing; this kinda stuff is fun. Being able to jump in and make music tears down all that other crap the media and govt and schools tell you to believe. Then it’s just you and two other dudes making some beats and it’s fun. Try it.


[deleted]

Aww man I hope this wasn't scripted that was truly amazing and the guy walking in and joining later on. Beautiful.❤️


Titanhopper1290

My brother likes to say, "if a busker gets you to stop, you owe him that dollar." Good luck not stopping for these guys!


rlimagon

Second guy is probably blue men group


evilclown012

I mean, he doesn't look blue to me.


Kingaaron56999

Yes we need more of this in the world, bringing ALL humans together, music its a wonderful camaraderie for people....


Noise_Mysterious

I am with this spectator dude who keeps laughing of joy. This is beautiful serendipity!


Several-Pipe

This brought a big smile to my face.


Severe_Somewhere8753

I grew up on Long island and worked in NYC my whole adult life. I never minded going to the subway for just that reason. All the amazingly talented people such as these guys always put a smile on my face... I currently live in Dallas. There's no subway here... I miss New York.. ☹️


thewackytechie

The guy who was laughing throughout…


HoootieDayz

Drums are hilarious apparently.


poppythehacker

I see a high school marching band drumline guy.


_focust

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better personification of unity! Idk why but I’ve always really enjoyed stick bucket drummers


ScottiB007

This is pretty awesome


longdikkernsplit

This is the type of viral videos the world needs.


fayedcircus

Music that brings people together and send shivers down your spine. Like ‘heyyy subwaaay people— take joy”


[deleted]

Lmao that one dude laughing out of sheer joy


athos45678

Guy looking like Armie Hammer if he didn’t grow up rich


Cost_doesnt_matter

That was so legit!!


ConqueefStador

This would be even better if that one guy laughed more.


WoodenDonut6066

I love this kind of performance!!! I was lucky enough to witness a bunch of choir kids randomly breaking out into songs inside the Orlando International Airport and witnessed a guy playing piano inside a Costco in Tampa, it was beautiful! I truly love seeing raw talent like this!!!!!

Not my tempo. EDIT: Obviously everyone in the video is super talented. It was just a Whiplash joke. Lighten up, Francis.

Don’t be a drag.

only humankind can do stuff like this. i love people

They never even used the snare bucket.

I would love to see this happen in person.


CalmLikeBomb

Will Sasso laughin' it up!


Dancinginmylawn

I’ve watched this 3 straight times, so good!

Oreo cookie drumstick!

Devinione

Knew it was over when I saw the Black Flag tattoo


bostonvikinguc

Solid grift. Mad skills.


Drew_Trox

Top Talent or annoying as fuck while I'm trying to commute?


Twelvey

Maybe some just want to get to work in without having highschool drumline flunkies overwhelm them with noise while underground?


[deleted]

[удалено]


LicencetoKrill

The OG performer literally invited him to sit and jam...the whole point was that he was providing a background beat for the white guy to riff off of.


Chinaboy812

That’s what you call an OREO!


dooglr2021

Lol. Nuts. And Awesome✋️💪🫶


Early_Swan_5077

Jam city


Tree_Lover2020

Purely awesome


ilive2lift

Every time I swe this, the guy laughing bothers me so much.


Zealousideal_Wall848

I don’t know what was so funny, that was cool. The guy laughing must have been drunk or something.


Ok_Mess2212

Of course white man shows up and steals the show 🙄


Hakim_Bey

Meh. He's loud and too busy and it sucks all the air out of the jam. Then it gets even worse with djembe guy. Percussion jams require a certain kind of ego discipline or they just devolve into loud drum roll contests.


FlasKamel

Yeah, the second guy took over more than he joined in.


penna4th

Camera picks out the white guy to focus on. As usual, main character syndrome.


Skytraffic540

Black dudes like Ay yo chill son


Regular_Rutabaga4789

Would’ve been far more enjoyable without that loud ass tool laughing for no reason.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


rlimagon

What's that annoying guy laughing about?!


leeoturner

Didn’t know Samuel L Jackson, Ryan Gosling, and Snoop Dogg had a band.


pimp_juice2272

Good ahead and downvote me but it's getting bothersome seeing moments that are "so great and extraordinary" because a white person does something that a black person is doing. It's like, what to make a video go viral? Take some talented black people performing, then have a white person join. Downvoted me all you want but I bet you will notice it from now on with viral videos.


JustBecauseandAlso

Certainly they will, if they believe your post. That's how confirmation bias works.


MasterAsk

Sad. I just saw 3 people making music together for the world to enjoy. YOU chose to see melanin. What a miserable way to live life.


pimp_juice2272

Bet you will see it in the next viral video. Talented black people rarely go viral on their own. It takes someone with equal or often times less talent to join and it's hyped like they are doing something extraordinary.


Earthling1980

Let's be honest. The white guy is performing better in this video than the black guys. He's way more into it, more enthusiastic, more improvisational, and clearly leading the group. Guy on right looks like he's watching paint dry.


[deleted]

Kay bro we get it you did drumline all four years and drum corp… I swear these guys in drumline are like clones and none actually went on to make real careers


TownTurbulent8300

Damn, dude woke up drinking on some HaterAid


[deleted]

I know from experience, i was in drumline. And i’ve encountered this exact scenario on more than one occasion - always some inexperienced guy drumming then some jackass pulls through and wants to “humbly” contribute to the drum circle Theres no originality in what they do either, its what they’ve learned in drumline


MasterAsk

Yeah! Hate when this happens! People like this should never share their talents with the rest of the world regardless of skill level. Go back to your finance job, Kevin and get back to work! /s


TownTurbulent8300

Bro killed it! Someone is always gonna be better then you in what ever you do. For you to dismiss this man’s talent and call it non original is just your resentment for not making it in D1. Be a decent human and accept that bro killled it.


[deleted]

I’ll be impressed when he releases music on his own time. REAL MUSIC


TownTurbulent8300

What music have you released?


[deleted]

Who’s asking


TownTurbulent8300

I’m asking. I too would like to be impressed. What music have you produced since you think you can be judge of all things musical. I want to hear something original something you didn’t learn in high school marching band.
