    3 years later I still rap these adages when I hear them in real life.

    I like how the description pretends this is some boring tips video with bullet points but its really just some guy randomly dropping knowledge and wisdom with humor and effortless drum improv. Thank you.

      You know how it's funny when smart people do stupid things? That's what's going on here.
      Dave is one of the best drummers in the world, without question. So how great is it that there's a 40-part "instructional" series with absolutely nothing but bullshit in it?

    Dave, vocals and drums are so unbelievably good, it rocks so much I can't believe it, when I did the drums + singing yesterday, my kids suddenly looked up in surprise, where does Dad's cool music style come from? that sounds a lot better than Dad´s jazz drumming, lol, hey everything you need to rock the crowd

  • @MajicFreeman
    @MajicFreeman 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Holy shit, you called it, for some reason Florida loves that butt rock shit like Salival, and limp bizkit and kid rock.

    I get this feeling that dave king has some comedic tendencies learned from greats like Tim and Eric.

    • @manysnakes
      @manysnakes 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I met Dave King in 2001, well before Tim and Eric had a show, and he was basically exactly like this.
      Only fat.

    • @keithklassen5320
      @keithklassen5320 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think that T&E are more focussed on a particular balance of surreal discomfort: Dave is surreal but he's not so much for the discomfort.
      Edit: aaaaand then I watched the second half of this video. I take everything back.

    “I make Michael Landon look like Bull from Night Court” is a reference I’m guessing that didn’t hit home for most people. But I’m 40 and holy shit I will remember that joke for the rest of my life.

    Ya know, with the colon instead of the comma... Of course I'm probably wrong about that... But just seemed that way to me. Maybe a dash/hyphen
