- Vote Harry Miree Country Drummer of the year at the 2023 Drumeo Awards right here dude: www.drumeo.com/vote
Hello dudes; gather round. In the olden days we used to play music to live audiences. This is my love letter to that archaic tradition, filmed backstage onstage and beyondstage on tour in the Summer of 2019.
Maybe even more so than any other video I've ever gotten to make, this one is absolutely nothing without a mountain of massively talented and generous friendos who play a role in my touring life. They are TJ, Billy, Paul, Zach, Will, Turbo, Jackson, James, Tanner, Erik, Thaddaeus, Scotty, Logan, Curt, Jim Riley, Nigel, Doug, and Jamie, and I am deeply induded to each of 'em. And dudes: Thank you Chris and Preston for taking a chance on a misfit drummer like me. It changed my life.
Then there are my beloved Patreodudes, without whom I also couldn't've made this jam, so they get extra goodies (ooh, like that ringtone from the intro) at www.patreon.com/harrymiree
Lastly, thank you. I'm so honored you're here and I look forward to sweating some more on each of ya's one day when rock and roll makes its heralded return.
Speaking of whenever that is, when that day comes you'll find the dates at www.harrymiree.com

I've never touched a drum set.... I play guitar.... but dangit..... I speak on behalf of all dudes out there; WE MISS YOU HARRY!!!!!
You still miss Harry, dude?
@@godforreal7355We all still miss Harry, dude.
@@4esv I bet he's out there playing cajon somewhere...
This video is painfully accurate 😂😂
Always found playing sheds/house of blues/arenas so boring. Toning beats being able to walk around town, find some food, do so,etching, anything. On the other circuit, you are always in the middle of nowhere .
“What else is there to dude” Harry is approaching Señor Chang levels of puntification.
Or the dean for that matter.
Guilty as Changed
r/unexpectedcommunity
Holy shit, 3 harry videos in less than a year?
Truly we are blessed.
I know dude!
2020 is really turning around, dude
Incredible right??!!
He knows it’s been a hard one
I miss my drum dude..... I hope he is living his dream
"I have many small resentments towards each of you!" absolutely hilarious lol
Accurate
so accurate
Dammit, where has Harry been????? It's been a year since the last video, this is unacceptable! One of my favorite all time CZcamsrs.
He’s at my school rn
I hope he’s alright!
Hope he's living the good life and back on tour.
I think he is drumming for HARDY now...
@@swAxzyyy_ he donated some drums, right?
“That was probably an accident”. I died in that one. What a MEINL artist!
MusicalElitist1 You sound like a Sabian artist, lol
@@slonth ZILLLLLLDJIAN!!!😂😂
@@ericking4072 everyone knows paiste is where it's at. GO ERIC MOORE!!!
@@LanceWillMakeIt oh no no no no, I prefer German quality Cymbals, Meinl for the win…👌🏻xD
Jokes aside, all company’s have great sounding cymbals.
@@Philipp.of.Swabia lol i don't even remember writing that comment, but yeah meinl sounds amazing as well, chris coleman is one of my favorite sponsored drummers for them - i'm just biased cause of how cheap and amazing the paiste pts7 lights sound lol, but if you forget price and just admit to go to the higher level cymbals, all companies are going to sound completely enjoyable
The 2 videos about session drumming makes me want to be a professional drummer even more.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
If this comedy gig doesn't work out at least you can fall back on drumming in arenas.
jesus that quote got me "any time could be the last time" realising I inadvertently may have lost that last time
So true.. You suddenly look up and it's been 3 years and your not doing shit. What happened what to my life man.
yep me too Gareth
Life of a musician aye boys. I miss being able to almost pull chicks back to my "house on the road" full of drinks and assholes like me
“Fvck it we’ll do it live!”
That was awesome Gary!! 🤣
Dude, I didn't realize how much I missed Harry's vids until rewatching this one. We miss you, dude. Hope you're well
hes very well actually! he is now playing in a band called hardy.
Dude Im so happy to see your face. As a formerly Touring Tech Director/Production Manager, this is too real.
High Bunk.
Never Shit in the Bus.
Come to Canada?
Shout out to the tech crew!
If you're touring UK it's 'no shittin in the pod.'
@@backyardboogiewoogie ha I never heard that. That's great
Where are we supposed to shit then?
@@taiping2995 an empty beer bottle 😎
hot bag it!
It's now May 8, 2022, just for a point of reference. I miss your videos and hope you're doing well...happy and healthy, godwilling.
I get so stoked when I've seen you've uploaded seriously man. One of the best CZcamsrs and you crack me up! Stay cool dude
Every second worth watching! This is art dude!!! Highly Spectaculous and Testacular!!!
I don’t know... one of the most entertaining vids I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks Dude!
I miss my job. I miss crew catering, I miss show bacon, I even miss sinfully early bus calls.
Hope the events industry survives this 🙏
I was watching some of your old videos back today this upload is great timing dude!
This video is amazing. I love your sense of humor and everything about this.
So laid-back yet so professional. We could all learn a lot and not just about drumming. Thanks for the great content, look after yourself out there dude.
Harryyyyy!!!
LOVE seeing these videos of yours pop up in my feed. You had me laughing out loud a bunch of times in this. We're all rooting for you man- love seeing you succeed.
The dude returns. Not a pop country guy but it would be worth it just to see you rock. Rock on my dude rock on.
I get excited like a kid on Christmas when I see a new Harry Miree video. And this one did not disappoint! Excellent work!
Probably one of the best videos I've seen this year so far.
Great to see a new video! Thanks for your content Harry, you are an inspiration to me and so many others!
Probably the most accurate & realistic description ever produced on the topic. - You always know how to give life the gravity it deserves. I love it!
You are to ego, what cats are to gravity. - I've never seen someone play so light heartedly & have so much fun with the core illusion that owns the rest of the world.
You yourself, are very well played, sir.
This video was a journey within itself, a truly beautiful work of art
A wonderful surprise!! Love getting the Miree notification. Many giggles and insight was had. Thanks =D
Wanted to say after following you for years and being a huge fan, it’s been great seeing you blowing up. See you on Fallon and then the Royal Rumble this week! Rock on Dude!
Worth the watch! Dude art at it's best. Your gratitude for the joy of playing is refreshing. Play on.....dude!
Thanks for this amazing video. It made me smile all along and even laugh. That's my video of the year :)
So meta. Making your own video your ringtone!!! Amazing as always!!!
Dude! You inspire me to make music on the smallest of levels. Thank you for being the dude that you are.
This amazing!! Hilarious, TRUE, and masterfully done. It’s like a movie quality tribute to the road! Great job my DUDE!!!
I've watched this on repeat and this vid always, ALWAYS gets me inspired
Congratulations man!!!! 🥳 🎊🎉🎈🍾
Thanks Dude! I don’t think I could live without your crucial Dudeformation! 😱
You are one of the best storytellers on YouDude... It's just icing on the cake (my cake) that you happen to be an awesome drummer as well, and use your drumming backstory to platform your dudeness to us... (whatever the f*ck that means)... As Always - Look forward to the next installment... Literally my favorite drum channel... and I'm no kid (50 years a drummer dude)... Stoked for you that your getting to perform in these awesome venues... Keep on!
I'm always happy to see you with new content. It put a huge smile on my face again. The Jokes were fun. The criticism, cynicism, and bare truth were on point as always. Keep your head right/up dude.
This channel just keeps getting better. Never stop never stopping.
This may be the most inspirational thing to come out of 2020 so far
For anyone that cares he almost said “Lot Lizards” at the end of the bus driver section. I’ll leave it up to you to find out why that’s funny
“Why don’t you boys take me into that there motel room and split me open like a coconut? Just treat me like a mailbox, open me up and put whatever you want inside.”
As an over the road trucker, I found that comment hilarious!
Harry,so glad you got to do that tour.Its just the beginning.Your ever encouraging 65 year old dude friend Paul.P.s.I was there when they invented Woodstock and experienced the phenomenal music of the 60s.Wish you coulda been there.It would have blown you away!
We desperately need a documentary, or as I should say, a "Dudeumentary" of Harry on tour annoying his band mates and waking them up with cowbells.
You're living my dream dude! Much respect, thank you for the videos.
I laughed for ten minutes after that subtle Nickleback joke;)
Awesome, to see those who make it happen. Best drummer vlog ever!
You’re a genius man. Way to always have fun while on the grind!
This is fricken awesome dude. Thanks for making this.
What a pure origin of joy and mind-refreshness! Thanks Dude!
There are many drum channels on youtube.. but only one Dude. Keep dudeing hard, Dude! Cheers from Brazil!
I have no idea who this guy is but he has a great sense of humor.
Dude never disappoints. Good stuff, dude! 😄👍
“Anytime could be the last time” I think that’s going to stay with us, from now. Want this pandemic to be over.
Dude ! Totally Love this . Love the tour vlog stuff ,keep um coming ....and I'm a bass player . We always hang out with the drummer .
this was great! Great video skills, great storytelling - all around good stuff; hats off!
Best way to start my morning. Thanks for chronicling all this.
The Dude keeps on providing the smiles.... THANKS !!!
A great 'how to stay humble' vid, dude, as always, showing respect to the people that help you stay the course... The crew dudes... Nice one Harry 👌
Your prose is outstanding- as well as your reading of people and their situations but you have dragged so many of us out into the sordid light of your touring experiences, that I for one will need to go back into therapy.
(Support act sound tech in the UK on TinaTurner and Fleetwood Mac tours springs to mind.)
Ha ha. Love it Harry. I wanted one of those tour cases for all my drums.... it would have taken up most of the van!!
You won't find a more genuinely hilarious personality in the music industry. You're the man, dude!!
These videos are hilarious!! Ya make me wish I would've stuck with music and done it professionally. Keep the videos coming.
That respect-paying for the legends though...
Such an awesome video! I hope you're doing well during these trying times, dude.
when he said "And the greatest band of all time.....Nickleback" I died of laughter🤣💀
Watched this way back, just voted for your vid. As a restive suburban tech-ite still playing his Tama's I can enjoy vicariously the drum life I had briefly. Your love of Carter Beauford's drumming is also shared. (Your serious vid is very close to me too.)
Harry you have rekindled my desire to sit down behind my kit. Due to age and injuries I have not played in a very long time. Your snipit on open style of playing has me very intrigued. Thanks for doing what you do dude!!
Glad to see you made it to show Harry, with your huge personality, I am sure your going to be a big hit. Well done!
Good work Harry, stumbled across this vid and I liked it.
Dude, this was accurate and hilarious. I also love the use of the "Fuck it, we'll do it live" quote. Probably going to use that at some point with my bandmates.
Dude! I have my first ever tour coming up at the end of this year. Thanks for the dudely insight. Dude!
As a drummer, one of biggest aspirations is to play in front of a crowd. Whether be 10 or 10,000 people. Loved this video and your humor along with it. Wishing the best on your future endeavors, continue to rock on, and maybe I’ll network with you someday! 🤟🏼
It is awesome to see you again my dude! Great content.
I have way too many subscriptions on CZcams, but you are still my favorite one. Thanks for duding what you dude!
You seem like a genuinely nice guy that spreads joy to those around you. Cheers from a fellow drummer🥁
Awesome video Dude!
Made me smile, Keep it up
I loved this! Thank you Mr. Miree
Your vids are absolutely fab Harry, love 'em!! Tour bus ... soundcheck ... catering ... show ... again and again and .... haha!!
Thanx for the laughs, first thin I watched after waking up! Great way to start the day... I hope to hire you some day.. :P Cheers from Regina Canada!
Dude! Two videos within a week is awesome dude!!!
Man I love this, great video lmao! I have been touring the UK for 4 years today and I v much relate, not all of it but I can defo say it's the worst when members of the band sit backstage instead of helping load the van!
Looks like a blast!!! Thanks for sharing!
Dude...I just found your channel, and this may be the greatest piece of internet...ever.
Welcome to the laugh fest!!
That's one hell of a nicely done video!
Thanx, dude!
Greetings from 🇧🇷
I could never get even remotely close to that life... So congrats!
So awesome to see you've made it this far , sick dude!
Truly Hilario. I’ll watch anything to produce! Well written, witty, thorough entertainment.
How am i just discovering these ?! dudeth, these are gold!
I do some stagehand work here and there and having people like you around that doesnt act like their shit dont stink its so nice and refreshing Harry. Keep bein you man, we love to set your productions up as tedious as it is haha.
We all wish this dude happiness and success!
Oh dude!! Where to start?! So funny!! Thank you for making laugh out loud this morning...really needed it.
These last few videos have been absolutely hilarious!
Your living the dream man, congrats!!
Harry I totally dig your videos man. Funny stuff. Godspeed young fella.
I honestly dont know how i ended up on this video, but this is fantastic. Going thru the library now. Keep it up!
Dude I just found you stuff. I think we went UAB around the same time. I too was a music major and I too left, and I am so glad you made it and are doing what you love.
Smiled all the way through this one!
Fanstastic i've been starving for one of these kind videos!!
Dude. This just made me too happy. Dying to get back and this just satisfied the touring itch for today at least. 😂
Dude, you are truly a dude. Your whole attitude speaks to me so hard. Also, your Ted talks was sick. I feel it man. I'm empty, yet full of something. Not really sure why I keep going, but I know I have to. Also also, you're fucking good at drums dude. Thank you.
