Dont think it comes better than this! The drummer in this video is Lawrence Sullivan / lawrence.sullivan.338 (you must be logged into facebook to view the profile) Filmed in Quincy Market, Boston.
I've been playing drums all my life...honestly speaking I started playin like this but at this level I can't do this, it is very very hard for me. Hes absolutely amazing. I have no match on this guy. Hands on you sir! Very very good!
Drums are hard when you begin but they get easier over time i play drums when i need to blow off steam or had a long day at school and when i need to practice lol
My brother from another mother, LAWRENCE 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 he was classically trained from a very young age, representing PRINCETON ST EAST BOSTON 💯💯💯 we grew up LISTENING to him play almost every night
This guy is phenomenal, the rhythms, beats and continual play is just amazing. To imagine him getting his hands on a full kit is something to be watched for. Brilliant.
Besides the talent and the determination of this guy, I love the fact that no matter what, he never stops :D his sticks can fall, not be the right ones, no matter, THE SHOW MUST GO ON ! One word: Briliant.
I love these guys! Every time I see them, I always drop a few bucks into their buckets and I just love to watch them play. I could watch these guys for hours!
Many great street drummbers out there, I think he has the most creative drum patterns Ive heard and flows insane,,,The transitions you cant teach,,,the drop at 4:04 is sick
He has been playing the drums since he was five years old. He also plays the saxophone, the piano, the guitar, engineers music, and produces music along with playing a number of other instruments. His name is Lawrence Sullivan. He was also on the Apollo. I think it was here it was I think I was like eight years old (98).
The most amazing thing about this performance is the dirt cheap set of "drums" he's playing on. Imagine what he could do with a full set of real drums.
if he could just get a real drum set, he could sell them for a good amount of crack money, then he can get high and go drum sitting in the gutters of a street beating on pots and pans, more videos of his talent will be made and we all win, really!!
I love how this is like a "stream of consciousness" performance, I sincerely think he has no set routine, he just plays whatever beat that comes to mind
He's very talented, but when u can't afford the real thing u use an alternative which in his case is buckets. Give him some credit for doing something constructive, atleast he's not robbing people.
sometimes I think that people are better with buckets than a true drum set. but he could also just use his talent on a drum set and then he'd probably be an extreme master and these guys should be famous.
+Te5la231 you're definitely not wrong there. I giggle when I see friends play drums in person, even if it's just a basic kick and snare pattern with some hi hat thrown on there. lol
I think it's horrible when people talk shit about videos when more than half of y'all couldn't do half of this on anything. Drums or buckets and to think you clicked the video to watch it you must've been really interested or jug wanted to take time out of your worthless day to talk shit about somethan you can't do. Smh
thanks bro i appreciate you for that and i totally agree it def took hard work,sweat, tears,and practice to get to where im at today so thank you Mr. glasgow much love and respect kid!
unless the feet are involved you can't class some an amazing drummer, drumming solely with your arms, doesn't take that long to get to a high level of talent. What makes drumming difficult to newbies is separating your arms and legs, so all four limbs can work independently. Saying that he does make a nice sound with the equipment he has in the video.
His name is Lawrence Sullivan. And he is an amazing person and very good friend of mine. And also has a baby with my cuzin. I consider him family. I miss you Lawrence. Hope all is well.
The greater problem for haters is to understand that most of the so called "street drummers" are actual talented real musicians with skills and great tecnique. Good performance.
