Andrew, I really appreciate the kind words. I left Rick’s band at the end of 2019, however we had a lot of fun together. You seem to be one of the people who “get it.” When I was with Rick, we performed nearly 200 shows a year. Can you imagine how boring it was playing Mustang Sally, TWO HUNDRED TIMES a year??? LOL So we tried to make it fun. Most of the antics, were born onstage. I never sat around and “practiced” that stuff. I was a metal drummer for years, then suddenly found myself in a cover band. I didn’t do it to get attention… I did it because it made me laugh. It was actually pretty selfish of me. LOL 🤣🤣🤣
If I could like this comment more than once, I would. Love that you watch this stuff and take the time to reply. I've watched a bunch of your videos and love them all. I watch a lot of drummers who leave my jaw on the floor but never once make me smile. You leave my jaw almost on the floor (absolutely no offence intended there) but you make me smile, and believe me - I don't smile a lot! Keep up the good work, Steve. Just enjoy what you do.
Oh I get it man! You're an entertainer. I dig the drumming and you make me smile... I can hear the metal chops too in that half time breakdown with the double kick! I hope you are well man and congrats on the ongoing successes :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I can empathize with Mr. Moore. As a long-time cover band musician, there are songs I once loved that I can't even listen to anymore. And being visually impaired I am morbidly aware of music played in stores. If CCR's version of "Proud Mary" starts playing in the grocery I have to leave and come back. Props to Mr. Moore for finding a way to make it both bearable for him and entertaining for us.
Watched a bunch of videos with Steve Moore on drums. I'm not a drummer but have spent allot of time over my 62 years watching and listening to great drummers in the rock, jazz and world drumming domain . Steve is a serious drumming talent and unreal showman. The real deal. Nothing left to do but smile...
ran sound for him back in 2014. very humble dude. said he grew up loving to play thrash metal like slayer. so he uses the same energy all of his cover tunes
Watched these videos many times love them. I was in a band playing drums in the early sixties and Wipe Out was one of my favourites, I am 75 and still playing but only for fun!
He's very entertaining to watch. Add to that the fact that the timing and chops are steady and on the spot which is impressive seeing how the movements introduce lag that he's easily foreseeing. I guess playing the song 100's of times while experimenting with funny ideas helps get that down to a T.
Love the drummer ,i was just looking thu u tube and came across the mad drummer ,now i cant stop watching him, do you have merchandise , i would love a t shirt. your great steve thank you for being entertaining.
This video is amazing…and also your one of the rarest people who actually fill something in their cup and drink it while shooting …unlike people who shows off their cups with nothing in them 😂
I was a stage tech at a venue where they played regularly in the early 2000's and was priveledged to meet Steve and see him do all this and more live in dozens of gigs over the 3 years while I was there. He is a wild whirlwind behind the drums, a total pro on and off stage and a chill dude. Respect! :)
Great video, Andrew. Fantastic to hear someone who knows their stuff talk about Steve. He’s not just an entertainer, but a fantastic drummer. Btw, it’s unusual to hear a skins man articulate legit musical terminology so convincingly. You rehearsed well. Haha, I’m kidding of course. Hi from the horn section. 😉 Thanks again!
I've seen several of their videos, and.... its interesting! But, Hey, they're making a living, very entertaining, making folks feel good, and you can't find any negatives in that! Music from the 50's and 60's will always make people feel good. I've seen all generations "rockin" with it!
This and the “wrong gig” video were both shot at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg,Pennsylvania. They were (are?) regular performers there. I was lucky enough to catch a show there.
Really great stuff.! I'd of loved to of had my little girl with me at that gig. Such fun. If there were more like you I think beginner drum kits would be sold out everywhere
great job and prop s and a big that you to the mad drummer some folks probly that you went off your meds hahaha loved watching these guys they have it down tight
I read this quickly and thought you said Jerry Lewis on drums. I immediately thought of Jerry Lewis playing the drums on his show with Buddy Rich (th-cam.com/video/141o_jwG7cA/w-d-xo.html)... then I read it again and realized I had missed the full name. However, I can confirm that Steve Moore does in fact have great bass drums of fire ;-)
Steve is truly a great drummer. This is all about entertainment.Not to be viewed as pin point technique drumming. Most people wouldn’t notice any misses/slip ups. They see the characters and love it. This is a really special drumming duo. Timing was spot on in changes and done with ease. Once you’ve got the talent you’ve always got it. Steve wasn’t young in 08. Been drumming for decades so he’d built a fair following especially with the flailing arms. Real signature piece. A classic.
I noticed your classic, Ludwig Supraphonic 400 chrome snare. I used to own one of those back in the 70s. The rest of my kit was Camco, with a Ludwig Speed King bass pedal. Wonderful stuff, that!
I've watched many of the mad drummer videos. Never a dull moment. It takes great skill to do the crazy things he does and stay in time and beat. Very skilled..... I literally started watching your channel today. I watched many Black Sabbath, Bill Ward critiques. Bill was filthy..... please try listening to Queensryche.... you will be in a new HOG HEAVEN! Scott Rockenfeld is sick! And the band is the greatest ever. Geoff Tates voice will leave you in awe!
This is awesome! I didn’t know Gary Busey played the drums lmao. Jokes folks. They must have spent a lot of time on this act. Dudes got chops. These jokers deserve a better venue than this carnival.
Hell, the singer has pretty good chops from what I could hear. Granted non drummer speaking, but as a layman, I wouldn't be mad at him, being the drummer in a cover band.
If you haven't checked out Godsmack's drum duel, give it a look. Though it seems like more of a drum duo. The singer is the "other" drummer. Good stuff.
Great recommendation! Saw him live and it's a non stop show. His stick tricks have stick tricks. Not to mention throwing his leg up onto the hi hat, standing on his throne... He's wild!
"It's hard playing the drums standing up." Let me introduce you to Bela B, drummer of German punk band "Die Ärzte." Granted, they aren't very technical, but never the less he always plays standing up.
@andrew Rooney, because you said that it’s not easy playing drums while standing, you should totally check out Bela B. from the Punk Rock Band „Die Ärzte“ from Germany. They are pretty famous here in Germany and Bela B. ALWAYS plays the drums standing up. Check out the Song „Schrei nach Liebe“ live from the Rock am Ring Festival 2019. (or many many other of their songs and Gigs)
Started playing this song in "bar bands" when I was 5 (many decades ago.) Was completely sick of it by the time I was 8. Much respect to Steve Moore for making it fresh enough for me to tolerate again. Andrew - may I request my two childhood heroes - Gene Krupa and Brian Downey?
Brilliant stage act, this what music should be about. Enthusiasm and crowd involvement. Bravo 🙌🏻 and thanks again Resting B-face Also check out (greyson nekrutman) he’s a phenomenal young drummer
Only if you've got time buddy... Loving your work! Having two little kids I don't play as much as I would like, but here's a favourite from the reason got into the drums... And bought some of his gear like the real pro I am (loved your vid on that):th-cam.com/video/7b6R4eaeuGY/w-d-xo.html

Great stuff ...only us quick minded know why humor is applied to settings....enjoyed the show

And 200 shows per year is no joke. That's some proper mileage!

Steve Moore is a legit badass. He even had a cameo in the US version of The Office.
That's awesome William!
Even Kevin Malone's charm type couldn't stand up to Steve Moore
Season 8 episode 7 🤘
I would categorize him as a stunt drummer. He's the one you send in when the drumming gets dangerous 😂🤣.
First guy I'd call!
Yep. That works. I’ll pay that.
Watched a bunch of videos with Steve Moore on drums. I'm not a drummer but have spent allot of time over my 62 years watching and listening to great drummers in the rock, jazz and world drumming domain .

Exactly Mark!
Entertainment is a huge part of what we do. AND he's holding it down great
ran sound for him back in 2014. very humble dude. said he grew up loving to play thrash metal like slayer. so he uses the same energy all of his cover tunes
I'm a retired Engineer and play the drums and thoroughly enjoyed this vid. These guys are no joke, everything was right on. Awesome.
When you are watching Steve do his antics, he then throws in a difficult drum pattern and blows your mind.
He was famous long before 2008. I was watching him play drums on a hay wagon stage in a Kmart parking lot in 1998!! Loved every minute.
This gentleman is a real treat. Absolutely love everything about him
Man!! This dude is just fantastic...!! Love it.. Doing 200 shows a year, you just got to make it fun.. Mad Drummer!! You the man!!!
YUP!
Screw the haters. Do your job and entertain people!! :)
I love them and I to could watch them all day...In fact I have! 😆
Watched these videos many times love them. I was in a band playing drums in the early sixties and Wipe Out was one of my favourites, I am 75 and still playing but only for fun!
He's very entertaining to watch. Add to that the fact that the timing and chops are steady and on the spot which is impressive seeing how the movements introduce lag that he's easily foreseeing. I guess playing the song 100's of times while experimenting with funny ideas helps get that down to a T.
Yup good point! Stick height drastically affects timing. Steve has is dialled!
“That hair”...what you know about hair ? Haha. Love it
🤣👌
Gotteeeeem!
@@houseofshadow6380 HAHAHA
Got the Jerry Lee Lewis thing goin'... LoL
Love the drummer ,i was just looking thu u tube and came across the mad drummer ,now i cant stop watching him, do you have merchandise , i would love a t shirt. your great steve thank you for being entertaining.
This video is amazing…and also your one of the rarest people who actually fill something in their cup and drink it while shooting …unlike people who shows off their cups with nothing in them 😂

Yup great guy!
I wish I had 4 guys with the same humor, energy and talent as Steve! Too much fun!!! Love it♥️
When Rick was playing in the audience, I wanted to see Steve's face. Drum battle?
Great fun :)
Great video, Andrew. Fantastic to hear someone who knows their stuff talk about Steve. He’s not just an entertainer, but a fantastic drummer.
Btw, it’s unusual to hear a skins man articulate legit musical terminology so convincingly. You rehearsed well. Haha, I’m kidding of course. Hi from the horn section. 😉
Thanks again!
Chris Farley would have been perfect to play Steve in a movie!! Props to The Mad Drummer"!
I can't even attempt any of his tricks because I play with my back to a wall
First time I ever saw Steve Moore play they were doing Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl . I could not stop smilin’ . He is awesome.
The fact he makes us smile is the best thing. Drummers often forget about the entertainment and fun aspect Laura :)
Any muso that puts a smile on your face is a winner in my eyes.
Totally agree
Elicit emotions. The artists aim.
I've seen several of their videos, and.... its interesting! But, Hey, they're making a living, very entertaining, making folks feel good, and you can't find any negatives in that! Music from the 50's and 60's will always make people feel good. I've seen all generations "rockin" with it!
You are absolutely right Gary. Golden oldies always go down a treat. ALWAYS
This and the “wrong gig” video were both shot at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg,Pennsylvania. They were (are?) regular performers there. I was lucky enough to catch a show there.
Excellent!
Steve moore is great!! His newest video is just pure skill
The goal is great music with giggles.
Spectacularly good musicianship and so entertaining
💯Robert!
I love it. They put a great show.
I liked the bit in the beginning. Great sense of humor sir.
HEHE
Really great stuff.! I'd of loved to of had my little girl with me at that gig. Such fun. If there were more like you I think beginner drum kits would be sold out everywhere
100% Adrian!!
great job and prop s and a big that you to the mad drummer some folks probly that you went off your meds hahaha loved watching these guys they have it down tight
Great stuff! They're definately loving what they do
I think so too!
My favorite drummer, love, love him.
🙌
This is a true classic. Seen it many times.
Deserves a re watch without me talking for sure!
I've heard Steve Moore play on some metal projects and yeah, he's really good.
Yup he is!
Like the great Frank Zappa "asked" through his great live album; "Does humor belong in music?"
Yes, it does.!
Great stuff! 😊
Yup!
Reminds me of jerry lee lewis but on drums 😁👍👍
Yes he does!!!

Non-drummer watching the channel here ;) Love it!
Awesome! Thank you Chad!
Steve: I saw you play for the first time about 2 years ago on You tube,,,,,,,have to say, you are amazing.. Thanks
Wilf Blum

Always Jeremy

Excellent Leo!
Love the channel Andrew, and be never hit a drum in my life
Perfect!
Thanks for watching.
Pick up my free Drumeo trial if you want a taste :)
YOUR BREAKDOWN of the DRUMMING is GREEEEEEEAT !!!!!!!
THANK YOU James!
I always played it on the low/floor tom, but the snare here is really neat.
Yup it works great Austin!
Steve Moore is definitely one very accomplished Drummer. 🤩
The best part is the guitar and bass being straight in all this.
Yes Douglas! HAHA
I searched TH-cam is the mad drummer a good drummer i think you have answerd my question thank you.
Great James!
I love Steve’s Flock Of Seagulls hair!!!!
Love Steve. Was Introduced to him watching drum clinic videos years ago.
I need to see those!
I noticed your classic, Ludwig Supraphonic 400 chrome snare. I used to own one of those back in the 70s. The rest of my kit was Camco, with a Ludwig Speed King bass pedal. Wonderful stuff, that!
Very cool!
Beautiful classic snare :)
Steve Moore is phenomenal. Keeping the tempo and consistent volume is impressive. 🤟
What you said!!!Do not touch my drums and make me go all Wil Ferrell Step Brothers on you....🤔Lol😂
HAHA YES! It's so rude ARGHHHHH
I love the energy!
It's interesting that Rick is a really good drummer as well. Rick and Steve make a great pair.
That's good stuff. I don't care who you are.
It’s talented musical genius comedy at its best!
This just wouldn’t work if they all weren’t supra talented! Love it!
💯👌
The guy is a madman lol
HAHA!
Harry Dunne look-a-like back then. lol Such a fantastic drummer and freaking wholesome performer too.
I think the name mad drummer is hes hair, mad hair. Such a funny guy. Followed him for years on social media
Great Daniel!
Haha 1 2 3 FOUR!
Steve Moore is amazing!!!! Always amazing
Super fun time. Thanks Andrew! Made my day 🤣😂😹
EXCELLENT!
Look up Steve Moore guest star in the office American version.
Great entertainment! It just makes you smile!
Yes Simon!
Thank you Andrew & thanks to Steve Moore!! 🤘🏼Most Excellent🤘🏼- too damn much fun - now if only I could book these guys for my brothers wedding!
I know! They should be out playing parties every night
This guy could be making a killing as a live drummer for hire. He has the solid time, the chops and if needed plenty of panache.
100%
This was hilarious!!! Made my day and put a smile on my dial!! Ha ha!
YESSSS
I've watched many of the mad drummer videos. Never a dull moment. It takes great skill to do the crazy things he does and stay in time and beat. Very skilled.....

Way smoother with the ladies than any Bass player has ever been
this was filmed at Knoebels amusement park. I was at one of the shows back then. He was really good
I don’t know if he’s a great drummer or not but that’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen!
Steve Moore rocks it!
Yes! 💯🙌
This is awesome! I didn’t know Gary Busey played the drums lmao. Jokes folks. They must have spent a lot of time on this act. Dudes got chops. These jokers deserve a better venue than this carnival.

🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🖖🏻
Yes Philippe!
cocorico !
THIS. FUCKING. VIDEO! think this was the first time i looked at a drummer like "what IN THE ACTUAL FUCK!" in a good way
If you want to see two drummers sharing one kit, then check out The Urban Voodoo Machine, incredible live act.
If you haven't checked out Godsmack's drum duel, give it a look. Though it seems like more of a drum duo. The singer is the "other" drummer. Good stuff.
Thanks for the tip!
IDK WTH I just watched but that was certainly entertainment.
LOL
I personally like the Sharp Dressed Man version he did while wearing the gold jackets during this show.
No the singer is going to step in he's no slouch himself
Should take a look at Zoltan Chaney.
Maybe not the most technical drummer but very fun and crazy to watch.
Thank you!
Great recommendation! Saw him live and it's a non stop show. His stick tricks have stick tricks. Not to mention throwing his leg up onto the hi hat, standing on his throne... He's wild!
"It's hard playing the drums standing up."
Let me introduce you to Bela B, drummer of German punk band "Die Ärzte." Granted, they aren't very technical, but never the less he always plays standing up.
Is this characterized as a lounge act because of the showmanship? Great stuff no matter what. That makes you wonder if Richard Cheese was this wild?😂
Yup went viral for a reason. It's just so damn entertaining
@andrew Rooney, because you said that it’s not easy playing drums while standing, you should totally check out Bela B. from the Punk Rock Band „Die Ärzte“ from Germany. They are pretty famous here in Germany and Bela B. ALWAYS plays the drums standing up. Check out the Song „Schrei nach Liebe“ live from the Rock am Ring Festival 2019. (or many many other of their songs and Gigs)
Very simply hes an entertainer. Keith Moon, the drummer from the Pretty Things way back mid 60's
It’s like if chris Farley was a drummer
He is one of the greatest drummers on the planet
Sha Na Na with LSD !!! Great drummer !!!
SHA NA NA!!!
That's a blast from the past
Nice beginning bud..v funny
HAHA! Drummer Dates... Thanks Ken!
Me: Damn this guy is GOOD!
"He can play a little bit"
Started playing this song in "bar bands" when I was 5 (many decades ago.) Was completely sick of it by the time I was 8. Much respect to Steve Moore for making it fresh enough for me to tolerate again. Andrew - may I request my two childhood heroes - Gene Krupa and Brian Downey?
I've actually never played Wipe Out!
I should really learn it :)
Brilliant stage act, this what music should be about. Enthusiasm and crowd involvement. Bravo 🙌🏻 and thanks again Resting B-face
Also check out (greyson nekrutman) he’s a phenomenal young drummer
Thanks Rob! It's all about the resting bitch face
Someone consider his antics to be a novelty but it's just so entertainment entertaining it's quite fun to watch though
Very impressive on all counts. And yes he has a very large amount of excess head space.
You should react to The Tielman Brothers doing Rollin' Rock.
hes better then 90% of people who will ever pick up sticks. not an impossible level to reach but a damn good one
Better than 99.9% I’d say!
You have to check out Yoyokas 9 snare comparison.
Dude your intro on this one was on fire 🔥
🤣🤣👌
Your pick next bro!
Only if you've got time buddy... Loving your work! Having two little kids I don't play as much as I would like, but here's a favourite from the reason got into the drums... And bought some of his gear like the real pro I am (loved your vid on that):th-cam.com/video/7b6R4eaeuGY/w-d-xo.html
