I have to disagree on the A tier. While Justin definitely had chops, he wasn't playing very clean or in time. He sounded okay until close to the end, when started rushing a lot on those fills. Bruno Mars was better imo because he was playing way more clean and in the pocket. He had some fire chops too, I was actually blown away.
On the other hand, I prefer Justin's technicality over Bruno's clean playing, but that could be because of my bias towards Metal drumming, and Justin's is a lot closer in that regard.
@ErazoYTOfficial I understand it’s your opinion but Justin was speeding up his fills and timing is numero uno for drummers. Also he was quite sloppy in his playing. Maybe if he was keeping his hi hat going like quest love he would be more in time. And he used the same old basic file Bonham triplets. So again I say 5-6/10. I do respect your opinion though.
With the Rowan Atkinson one, I definitely give him credit for accuracy. He was right on with the solo and even looked like he was air drumming the right rhythms for the most part, especially right in the beginning when he went to the bell pattern.
I actually did a whole video where I played this entire thing on a Real Drumset. Here’s the link if you’d like to see it: czcams.com/video/aEE759NVYgE/video.html
Despite drumming on air drums with a recording, Rowan Atkinson looks like he actually took the time to understand basic drumming and practiced. Also, his timing is spot on considering it’s a pre-recorded track. Despite playing with a recording, he’s actually pretty darn close to it. He could actually reasonably take his routine into a real drum set and somewhat replicate it. I’d like to see Will Ferrell, Nick Cannon, or any of the others do that.
@Rex R well we're not looking at actual drummers here. So for an amateur he is quite good. At least you can tell from how he played that he could also deliver stuff that is a bit more impressive. Whereas Bieber just has that one fill. (which is easy but works for crowds)
@Valhelm Exactly Beiber isn’t good outside of that one fill. Bruno Mars was actually playing different stuff and could groove in the pocket. The only people who were fascinated by beibers drum solo were non drummers.
@Rex R Nah as a drummer of over a decade i disagree with you 100%. Go to :56 for Bruno Mars' solo and listen carefully. Clean linear fill (swapping the sticking pattern too!) followed by a quick polyrhythm beat all in great timing. That is pretty damn impressive for a guy that tours year round singing and dancing lol Bruno Mars also has an actual background playing bass, guitar, and drums.
@@MrValour Justin Bieber has been playing drums for over 20 years. That warrants real scrutiny, especially since he plays a drum solo at his own shows. As a 20 year drummer, he's terrible. Go back and watch his drum playing as a kid, he hasn't progressed at all DESPITE playing consistently for 20 years. It's a slight at anyone who puts time and effort into their instrument.
He legit did though. Bieber wasn't bad but he kind did high school metal band level stuff lol. Bruno had a fill that was actually legit impressive in there. Bruno and Fred realistically should have been S tier since they are real drummers and he used a nonsense video for Fred.
@@Mr___f i thought Bieber sounded pretty good, and he clearly knows what he’s doing. But he didn’t do anything super interesting until the end, and his timing was just a little bit out of the pocket. Bruno was steady, solid, and stunning
Bruno Mars is obviously above Biebs here. I wouldn't have put them in the same tier. Mars looked very close to being a professional drummer. He sounded like one, but visually his movements could have been more fluid and energy-efficient. Biebs on the other hand had a fair bit of obvious slop and isn't anything like being "locked in." Bonham-style triplets were a standout, but sound harder to play than they actually are. Think of playing singles, but each limb only needs to play at 2/3rds speed because you're adding a foot. Bass drum notes make linear fills sound faster in general while actually giving your hands a rest.
I haven't played drums since jr high but I could still play those triplets after a few minutes of figuring it out. I seriously don't know what this guy is thinking.
I'm surprised that this guy is a drummer but didn't notice Mars doing the linear fill or polyrhythm beat. Kinda weird but I guess he mostly is a marching guy?
He’s a better drummer than he is a comedian. I saw his standup on Netflix and the jokes just weren’t there. I didn’t really like em at all. It was like he was telling the setup of the joke without the punchline. But still, his drumming wasn’t bad at all. I like the fact that he basically had all these kits out in front of the stage, highlighting the history of the drum set in music. That’s the only part I liked about it.
I legitimately have no idea how Rowan Atkinson had time to get so great at air drumming. I've seen people spend years practicing that aren't as good as he is. Props to him. 👏
Fred Armisen is AMAZING, he also has a film on Netflix called 'Fred Armisens Stand-Up for Drummers' where he does impressions, little acting scenes with other drummers and plays different kits. Amazing
Wait that was actually John C. Reilly playing those drum parts. They definitely recorded in in a studio because it is a movie but he learned to play drums for the movie Georgia.
Even so that was quite good. He looked a bit stiff but I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually a fairly competent drummer by amateur standards, most professional musicians learn multiple instruments just to be well-rounded and he could obviously afford some lessons (with the connections to get an excellent teacher). Same with Bruno Mars, just because these guys aren't known for their drumming doesn't mean there hasn't been effort put into developing it in the background.
@@TheSquareOnes agreed. And I’m sure all of us have sat down at the kit after a hiatus and been less creative than we’d like to be. I know I have. He’s not bad. It’s still weird they did this semi-serously though.
I'm pretty sure it was Questlove playing in real time off to the side, which is why you can sort of see Will looking towards where The Roots usually are.
Well, Peter Criss is a celebrity. But he's also the original drummer of KISS. Many people think he is trash at drums, but his 1976 drum solo is pure perfection
Rowan Atkinson's air drumming is one of my favorite videos of him ever because for someone who doesn't really play drums he did a great job! But there's a good explaination for that: He's a perfectionist. I learned that from watching the making of from his movie Bean's Holiday.
You gotta be kidding with the biebs, he was a bit better than I expected but Bruno was legit 10x better. On the groove, clean playing, tasty fills (the linear at 0:57 alone dumps on everything Bieber did). I wouldn't bat an eye if Bruno played a full set on drums, he'd look totally in place. Bieber is a standard 1 year drummer who just learned linear triplet fills.
Dude, how do you put Justin in front of Bruno? Lol Bruno actually did quite a few above average things there. Listen to what he was doing with his foot.
I think he was scared of JB's bigger fans ,so he put him above Bruno who was obviously wayyyy better. This ranking he made between JB and Mars just invalidated his expertise as drummer himself
Bruno’s Super Bowl performance made me a fan for life. I’m not even a fan of “pop” really but that guy is one of the most talented artists on Earth right now.
John C. Reilly learned to play the drums for his performance in the movie Georgia, which involved music being recorded live for certain scenes, so he did all his own drumming in Step Brothers
The Mr Bean one was great. That's how i learn songs. With differnt techniques then my playing. I sit behind my kit and listen over and over and air drum it for the muscle memory then when i get the air drum pattern correct I apply it to the kit and add more power behind the hits for them to register on the drums. I live in an apartment and use an electrical drum kit to learn and practice. Electric drums take little pressure to activate the sound so air to electric and continue to add pressure until it's me just jamming with track. Takes hours to perfect. But that's my technique.
@@solomonanderson4657 Yup, Bruno’s been doing music since he was 2 and he has a much better feel for music and rythem. The drum solo he did in the super bowl was cut in half. He does that same solo but longer in his moonshine jungle tour and it’s a lot more impressive.
Gary Burghoff (Radar from MASH) played the drums in a jazz band fronted by Linda Carter (Wonder Woman). Gary could actually sit-in with any musical group of any genre.
Fred Armisen is such an amazing musician when he’s being serious but imo his comedy just makes it so much better. Like it’s more entertaining watching him play comically than to watch him play seriously.
Fred Armisen was the drummer in the Chicago band Trenchmouth; they put out at least one CD in the early 1990’s (I have it) and saw them open for Jawbox in Hartford, Connecticut. Ben Stiller was a drummer in the 1980’s HC punk rock band Capital Punishment, recently released an EP, not sure if it’s recent or older material.
I am sure that you know John C. Reilly does play drums, and in that movie, (Step-Brothers) that you showed, he played all his own drum parts. They may have been dubbed in for the sound quality, but it was him on the set.
Actually surprised that Joseph Gordon-Levitt wasn't in this list, he's played drums in a couple of talk shows - and while he's not a professional drummer, he loves playing.
Nicks playing at 11:03 was always cringe to me because of how fake it looked, but I like his performance in the movie, and the first one even more. Really good movie
Pretty funny how many celebrities play drums as a hobby. I love finding out what famous people do as a hobby like some skateboard or ride motorcycles ect
I’ve instructed people who were unable to play even a single stroke roll to learn it. Others have had the coordination to use all four appendages independently, albeit, very slowly, but it revealed their potential to advance. Personally, I think anyone with the required coordination can perform a great drum solo, but that doesn’t qualify them as good drummers. The true test is how they perform with other musicians. Getting into a groove, playing consistent time and having the ability to use rudiments to enhance the music is the foundation for a good drummer. There are some great jazz and progressive drummers who amaze me. After seeing almost all of my drumming idols, the only drummer that left me in awe was Buddy Rich. I was fortunate to sit maybe 10 feet from him as he and his band performed two shows at a club in West Des Moines around 1978-79. Previous to that, I was never impressed by him as he always seemed like a jerk on TV, tarnishing his performance. He was a true jerk in person, but seeing him perform in person, I could ignore his rudeness towards the audience. He truly was the greatest.
So, I bombed an audition, but not in the way you might think. There were three of us auditioning for a timpani spot but the university only had 1 set of timpani for practicing (the others were off limits until concerts). So each of us had to reserve practice room time. Lo and behold, one of the other auditioners spent longer than her reserved time allowed. All three of us had back to back reservations each day before the audition. So, I had only 10 minutes to practice before my time was up (I didn't want to be the douche and cut in to another reserved time slot). Now, comes audition day. The 1st guy goes in, comes out and seems to have done well. Then the 2nd (the girl who took too long) and me I went last. The audition piece was mixed meter, and I don't have the tenor-like chops to rip around 5 timpani in a 160 BPM audition piece on the spot. Come to find out she got the spot. But my professor (who was judging the auditions) told me that she only got it because she was better at switching timpani. I was near perfect at counting the mixed meters, just not at crossing over and such. Well, turns out even though she got the spot, she nearly had anxiety every rehearsal (since percussion ensemble was held afterwards) because of not counting the mixed meters right. Especially when she asked for pointers on how to count better. All I could do is shrug.
I know he's technically not a celebrity (he's a muppet, I know), but why didn't you include something from Animal? 😉 Or was/is Animal's muppeteer actually a drummer?
Ronnie Verrell did most of the drumming for Animal until he passed away in 2002. Roy Burns did the drumming for the Animal vs Buddy Rich drum battle on the Old Muppet Show.
John C. Reilly REALLY did play that drum solo and they used his personal kit for the movie also. As far as Nick Cannon, he taped the sticks to his hands because they were so uncomfortable for him and although somebody else overdubbed his parts he did learn to play a little to his credit. Jus' sayin.
I cannot wait to see your Super Bowl Solo! I'm sure you will be at 1000 likes in no time at all! (I also love watching your facial expressions when you review these videos!) 😘
I auditioned for Blue Knights DBC in 2018 and I had a panic attack as soon as I started playing. I just stopped and said “sorry” then just left... I ended up marking BK in 2019 tho
Just been watching your videos for a few hours, you are certainly strange. In fact you have surpassed strange and worked your way up to bizarre. Congratulations! Not easy. Well done 😄 love the channel, your hard work is evident
No surprise that Bruno Mars can play. The dude is a fucking talent. He's basically the pop/R&B/soul equivalent of Dave Grohl, just good at everything he touches.
Bombed a Vanguard audition (was going for experience) and walked into the audition room INFRONT of Paul Rennick and said "I'm not prepared for this." Needless to say/legend says that story is passed around at UNT.........
i cant believe you put justin over bruno. bruno was so incredibly clean with it, he looked smooth and relaxed and you could really feel the groove. justin looked kinda stressed and very stiff, and i dont think he played particularly clean and i couldnt feel any groove. even tho questlove was holding back i got the vibes from his playing. justin is more like c tier
I have to disagree on the A tier. While Justin definitely had chops, he wasn't playing very clean or in time. He sounded okay until close to the end, when started rushing a lot on those fills. Bruno Mars was better imo because he was playing way more clean and in the pocket. He had some fire chops too, I was actually blown away.
i'm with you, Justin isn't that good at all and Quest was a hell of a lot better and should have gone crazy and made him look worse.
I agree Justin was not clean his time was extremely inconsistent, and he accidentally hit cymbals on his fills. It was an overall 5-6/10.
On the other hand, I prefer Justin's technicality over Bruno's clean playing, but that could be because of my bias towards Metal drumming, and Justin's is a lot closer in that regard.

I was fortunate to sit maybe 10 feet from him as he and his band performed two shows at a club in West Des Moines around 1978-79. Previous to that, I was never impressed by him as he always seemed like a jerk on TV, tarnishing his performance. He was a true jerk in person, but seeing him perform in person, I could ignore his rudeness towards the audience. He truly was the greatest.
Spot on beans for the win I had no idea Bieber was that good even Questlove was seriously holding back
You know damn well Questlove was holding back lol
Bruno was the best of all of them he absolutely killed it
So, I bombed an audition, but not in the way you might think.
There were three of us auditioning for a timpani spot but the university only had 1 set of timpani for practicing (the others were off limits until concerts). So each of us had to reserve practice room time. Lo and behold, one of the other auditioners spent longer than her reserved time allowed. All three of us had back to back reservations each day before the audition.
So, I had only 10 minutes to practice before my time was up (I didn't want to be the douche and cut in to another reserved time slot).
Now, comes audition day. The 1st guy goes in, comes out and seems to have done well. Then the 2nd (the girl who took too long) and me I went last.
The audition piece was mixed meter, and I don't have the tenor-like chops to rip around 5 timpani in a 160 BPM audition piece on the spot.
Come to find out she got the spot. But my professor (who was judging the auditions) told me that she only got it because she was better at switching timpani. I was near perfect at counting the mixed meters, just not at crossing over and such.
Well, turns out even though she got the spot, she nearly had anxiety every rehearsal (since percussion ensemble was held afterwards) because of not counting the mixed meters right. Especially when she asked for pointers on how to count better. All I could do is shrug.
I know he's technically not a celebrity (he's a muppet, I know), but why didn't you include something from Animal? 😉 Or was/is Animal's muppeteer actually a drummer?
Ronnie Verrell did most of the drumming for Animal until he passed away in 2002. Roy Burns did the drumming for the Animal vs Buddy Rich drum battle on the Old Muppet Show.
Bieber’s time was all over the place. Definitely not better than Bruno IMO
Yes sir
Your right allover around up down he was a spazz
Quest Love was definitely holding back
man there is very little i wouldn’t do to hear the unedited version of some of those clips lol
Wasn't Fred Armisen once part of The Blue Man Group?
John C. Reilly REALLY did play that drum solo and they used his personal kit for the movie also. As far as Nick Cannon, he taped the sticks to his hands because they were so uncomfortable for him and although somebody else overdubbed his parts he did learn to play a little to his credit. Jus' sayin.
We only watch emc in school during tests here
*Eric* "here we got a clip from Drumline 2"
*Me* they made a second one?? god help us all
I cannot wait to see your Super Bowl Solo! I'm sure you will be at 1000 likes in no time at all! (I also love watching your facial expressions when you review these videos!) 😘
1116/5 likes/dislikes as of 7:54 pm .... Get started on your Super Bowl Solo!!!
I auditioned for Blue Knights DBC in 2018 and I had a panic attack as soon as I started playing. I just stopped and said “sorry” then just left... I ended up marking BK in 2019 tho
He Forgot Emc He's a Celebrity.
The only list I agree with entirely
Just been watching your videos for a few hours, you are certainly strange. In fact you have surpassed strange and worked your way up to bizarre. Congratulations! Not easy. Well done 😄 love the channel, your hard work is evident
No surprise that Bruno Mars can play. The dude is a fucking talent. He's basically the pop/R&B/soul equivalent of Dave Grohl, just good at everything he touches.
Fred Armisen is actually a great drummer and you definitely missed Joseph Gordon-Levitt
quest has one of the most ICONIC drum fills ever in the song you got me... think its safe to say he was holding back lolz
Bombed a Vanguard audition (was going for experience) and walked into the audition room INFRONT of Paul Rennick and said "I'm not prepared for this." Needless to say/legend says that story is passed around at UNT.........
Soooo Neil peart drum solo 9min worth best drum solo ever!!! Rest In Peace
I bombed all region in eighth grade. I stopped in the middle of the mallet etude for at least 30 seconds, and then finished the song
It's an uphill battle for Will Ferrell, lad had to fight against himself..
i cant believe you put justin over bruno. bruno was so incredibly clean with it, he looked smooth and relaxed and you could really feel the groove. justin looked kinda stressed and very stiff, and i dont think he played particularly clean and i couldnt feel any groove. even tho questlove was holding back i got the vibes from his playing. justin is more like c tier
John c Riley was really playing, he used to give drum lessons to make money😂
When watching on my phone the screen was so small I literally couldn't tell Will Farrell and Chad Smith apart.
You should watch Fred Armisen’s Stand up for drummers special on netflix
It's great he should make another one. He even had Vinnie on it, score!
Percussion was one of Bruno Mars's first instruments actually LOL
