This is the history of punk rock drumming by Fred Armisen (Best known for being in Portlandia). I hope you like it.^^ This video was taken at the Sunshine Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico on May 13 2019.
@@maxromero23 your supposed to reply , " I agree." Or something simular to that , saying thanks is like taking credit for what Fred did , just saying , but thanks for the upload i see your comedy taste is good ❤❤❤👍👍👍
A lot of punk artists he could do some really interesting stuff on. Butthole Surfers come to mind first given their atypical rhythms and playing styles. Or if he wanted to go earlier, The Velvet Underground or The Stooges.
@@ashmuntz612 Aussie as well. I mean yeah Kevin Parker's working with everyone. He did that Miguel remix, Tyler mentioned tame in a song, I've heard a Jaden song that was for sure tryna be them, Kevin played bass for Travis Scott on SNL, Rihanna covered "new person, same old mistakes," a$ap rocky used a tame instrumental as a beat ... They're pretty globally huge
I was more invested in actually shooting the video than the background noises. I'm surprised this video ended up being my most popular video on RU-vid so far.
@@liamcoffey1150 Yeah that is a fast hardcore beat that you would hear in Minor Threat or Negative Approach or something like that. The D-beat is a different pattern that was popularized by Discharge. You can hear it really clearly if you listen to early Anti Cimex. Anyways I've gotta assume that stuff isn't really on Fred's radar. Some people ignore crust and everything after 83 or so.
Sad he didn’t even attempt descendents lol, I guess Stevenson’s stuff is too hard for a lot of people. I know damn well I can’t play half the things he can and I’ve been playing drums for 7 years
Keep in mind, this is a very very brief history of punk rock drumming. He can't name every single punk group under the sun, but he definitely called out the most notable styles.
of course he couldn't cover everything.. I like when he talked about Steve Shelley, reminded me of the beats he did with the Crucifucks... than, he goes on to imitate Discord records-type beats.. so cool.
This was all I could get for the moment. MAybe see him on tour when COVID is less of a problem and see if he does this skit. This is just an excerpt. I get people complaining how certain bands and styles are missing all the time!
As he should have. Green Day isn’t really impressive drumming wise except for the one fill on “Basket Case” and besides that the production on the drums hasn’t been worth anything since “Insomniac”
@@theplourde Tre's a good, solid drummer, but nothing revolutionary or anything. I see your name is "theplourde." If we're talking top tier punk drummers, Derrick Plourde is my guy. Other punk drummer greats: Dave Raun, Bomer, Jordy Samolesky, Jordan Burns, Smelly, Bill Stevenson, Brooks Wackerman, Ty Smith, Sean Sellers, the list goes on and on. I'll even put Marky Ramone up there. That guy is straight up SOLID.
During Green Day's punk rockier years, Tre's signature beat was pretty much a copy and paste of the Stiff Little Fingers' beat. He'll straight-up admit to it, too... they were very vocal about being heavily influenced by the Stiff Little Fingers. Great drummer, but he definitely wasn't the first one to do what he did.
Wire and and REM were not punk, and no-one considered them as such at the time. He was right to touch on the beginning of the hardcore thing, but completely overlooked the UK ‘82 scene, which was evolved concurrently. For fuck’s sake, there’s an entire sub genre named after Discharge’s summer’s style. Moreover, ignoring the drumming of Steve “Slayer Hippie” from Poison Idea, the finest punk drummer and one of the finest rock drummers of any genre pretty much announces to the world that this guy is as much a dilettante as his “comedy” partner Carrie.
Wire retrospectively weren't punk...but without punk, where would they have been? Still jamming in art college. An entire sub genre name after Discharge's drummer style.??! What?! If you mean ..... cringe... "D Beat" no one over the age of 14 outside the internet uses that stupid term....
punk elitism at its finest.. REM did a cover of Revolver by Mission of Burma, that's punk, even though elitist punks(what I call people like you) used to say they weren't. And Wire are protopunk like the Stooges were but who cares, they were punker than let's say, The Exploited, in my eyes... they're not dilletantes, it's like saying Thurston Moore is a dilletante. It's comedy, you have to make it more general. He could've talked about Mark Trombino's drumming style and a lot of people wouldn't know who the hell he is.
