Bruce has mastered his playing technique to the point where he makes playing Chop Suey look like he is playing chill jazz. It's amazing to see just how little energy he is actually putting into his hands, but how great the kit sounds when he hits it.
I just turned 50 and I was contemplating about putting away the drums thinking I'm too old to do it but...I just saw this video and maybe it's not too late to give it one last fling! Awesome job btw! Thank you for the inspiration!
I'm 48 and can finally get seriously into it couldn't when I was a kid then I had kids now I'm single have the time and the money you're never too old bud.
Are you crazy? You're never too old. In fact the older you get the better you get because typically your taste in music appreciates through the years. Just tell your wife and kids to move out if they don't like it.
I always enjoy the expressions on older musicians' faces. They speak of heart and soul, and dedication, both emotional and physical, and it's beautiful honestly!
I love the concept that playing the drums should be like a dance, not a fight. This video is the perfect example of that. Graceful performance of a heavy song.
Once you play drums, it haunts you! You want to beat that drum, it's all a drum, everything is a stick. You want to feel that balance, that stick in your hand. Sod air-guitar, just drum. Drum on it all, drum drum drum.
I'm not a drummer expert but a notice this. Altough he is playing all notes perfectly, his moves are so smooth and clean that it looks he is playing a chilling/relaxing music.
It's people like Bruce that made me pick up a new bass and start to learn something new at 43. I'm realistic in knowing i will never reach that level of mastery, but i'm gonna give it my all!
There is something very special about this video. I wasn't a big fan of the band or this song yet here I am watching this again. Maybe it's the lightheartedness way about it. I don't know but I'm grateful to you guys for putting it together.
when i go to other covers, although good, its just not as yummy as this. im not a musician so what do i know... edit: i just realized what it is. Its the opening roll. Bruce's version is the best one there is. all other covers just fail in comparison.
I know absolutely nothing about playing drums except it must take an extraordinary amount of coordination, timing, practice and talent to play like this.
Just tap your foot to one beat then try and hit something with your hand to a different beat. 2 foot taps per second and 1 hand hit per second is impossible for me I can't even imagine using every other limb.
Piano players often make it look like they're fingering sweet sweet love the them keys. This man just passionately smashed the dang heck out of Soad, very cool
i think that a double snare is needed when he goes "when angels deserve to DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and on the other similar parts
Happy 60th Birthday, Bruce, from all of us at Drumeo!
Drumeo, what earphones he is using?
Happy b-day Bruce, from Serbia
Happy birthday! 🎂
Thank you to all who watched and commented and Big Thank you to The Drumeo Team!!
Great! Happy birthday, from Brazil. Good video!

Keep on rockin dude, its a lifestyle
I'm 48 and can finally get seriously into it couldn't when I was a kid then I had kids now I'm single have the time and the money you're never too old bud.
50 ain't old. Keep rocking. Take some trt
Are you crazy?
You're never too old.

User6497 wtf do you mean wtf he’s absolutely right especially with the wife and kids you never get between a man and his drums
I always enjoy the expressions on older musicians' faces. They speak of heart and soul, and dedication, both emotional and physical, and it's beautiful honestly!
The drum keys falling out of his pockets was a great idea!
For me, that was hilarious
Diatonic5th definitely wasn’t in the pocket that time
Why didn't you leave the drum keys on the table
That whole intro was creative af

No man! Fuck that! New metal is played with feeling. Not with wet Hans lol

You can see that his technique is perfect. Stick just floats in his hand.
this was the thing that struck me the most. Accomplishing the metal tone, without any extra motion or over-exertion
Just like what Ringo Starr uses

@@Irwingcomoto yea hes not playing the song correctly the majority of the time, still good tho
Dewey76207 thats the good thing about covers: they dont need to be exactly like the original
Bruce: Why did I make this cover?
Drumeo: Youwantedto!
This
Or reverse
Happy 60th Bruce. Remember, that's just 15 bars of 4!
Or 4 bars of 15/4
I think he has been to more than 15 bars, they drank a lot back when he was young.
@@Nuhuhuhuhu am I gonna get woooshed for this
Third twenty ;-)
Rare footage of Jigsaw playing drums
Lmao
Stupid
the nameless its kinda funny
200th like
🤣🤣
3:22 Perfect rolling🤘
Such graceful playing
Heck yeah!
Smooooooooothhh 🤘
That ending is just perfect. Never seen that "cymbal?" before.
I didnt know proffesor X can play drums damn.
Lmao
Fuck you Logan
Had the same idea about posting this comment haha!
Or Captain Picard for that matter
Captain Picard celebrating after he sent few photon torpedoes on those Klingons.
Watching veterans like Bruce being so open minded is just pure gold.
Woowoowoo!!! Happiest of birthdays to you Bruce! I hope I can rock like you at 60!
Lalalakalala

0:48 his face is amazing! It's like, "Here we go!"
I just discovered that Mike Ehrmantraut plays drums and the best is that he likes System of A Down !
Haha Bruce could be a Mike E
double on Better Call Saul
He took a full measure
Exactly. I thought it was mike from the thumbnail
“I’ll handle it”.
Nothing warms the cockles of my heart like an old timer playing some alt-metal.
For real.
It's people like Bruce that made me pick up a new bass and start to learn something new at 43.
I'm realistic in knowing i will never reach that level of mastery, but i'm gonna give it my all!
This dude has skill great stick work and control 🎵🎶😄👍🏼
Mitchell Rage Quit thats what she said
DarkSideDefenders 😂 ahh ahaha
Kids cover this song. Not much skill required.
So much soul in his playing! Love it!
the kit sounds amazing, the performance was tight AF too, congrats and happy birthday!
He makes it look effortless and easy. Outstanding job, sir.
It is easy.
He walks drums, drinks drums, speaks drums,eat drums. HE LIVES DRUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂😂
To be the best you have to live your craft! :)
@@DrumeoOfficial I am not teasing him, i am amazed of him
He's so dedicated, he even spends time losing drum keys
@@topramen1694 yeah dude
When 'Drum is life'.
I have always been blown away by their drummer from day 1. Amazing cover
Grandpa: "I'm a bit rusty at playing the drums."
I'm glad there are drummers out there covering sick ass drum songs on youtubes. I love seeing how its done. Not like a music video. Good shit, holmes.
Happy blessed birthday Bruce. You're still a young man!
Tight cover and fabulous solid sound.
Can we all appreciate the sound, EQ, and tone of that drum set..... amazing.
There is something very special about this video. I wasn't a big fan of the band or this song yet here I am watching this again. Maybe it's the lightheartedness way about it.
I don't know but I'm grateful to you guys for putting it together.
I love how you're playing the second snare hit as a ghost note
The mix off that kit is crispy. Love the bass drum it’s solid
That right hand control and consistency is sick!🔥👌
I really enjoyed your interpretation of this song. Your cymbals sound amazing I especially like the way thay ride sounds 😎
This was so elegant!!! I don't know the first thing about drumming but this... Is... A beautiful sight. 😍
wow, his energy is still there, one of my favourite song~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRUCE!!!!!
This is why you learn the fundamentals first kids. Man's technique is flawless.
A simplicidade é tudo.
Parabéns!!
The foot work is so flawless
Yes more system of a down please👍
And happy birthday Bruce
It’s like watching a conductor on the drums. *goosebumps*
Brilliant!! The intro was great as well...
Great music and amazing sound quality.
He doesn't look sixty at all. So much energy and enthusiasm. Really inspiring. A very happy birthday!!
Bro he is so nice with it man
great cover man
flawless
this just goes to show Cpt. Picard was the coolest member of the U.S.S. Enterprise
Goes to show Picard was the coolest member of System Of A Down
The most sane and “clean” soad drum cover 😆😆. Amazing
when i go to other covers, although good, its just not as yummy as this. im not a musician so what do i know...
edit: i just realized what it is. Its the opening roll. Bruce's version is the best one there is. all other covers just fail in comparison.
I wish my grandpa was that awesome ✨
He hit the cymbals and toms so fluid its beautiful..
George carlin is just bad ass in everything he does! Great cover.
Drumeo are so amazing, they brought George Carlin back from the dead so he could play drums.
I came here looking for this comment xD
His timing is impeccable.
I know absolutely nothing about playing drums except it must take an extraordinary amount of coordination, timing, practice and talent to play like this.
Just tap your foot to one beat then try and hit something with your hand to a different beat. 2 foot taps per second and 1 hand hit per second is impossible for me I can't even imagine using every other limb.
This song's drums are so simple and yet outstanding
Drumming is not only to play but live it
You got it! Being a professional musician is a lifestyle.
Literally
One of the best covers
This makes me believe I'll never stop playing drums!
Awesome!
Awesome! That moves are so eco and precise at the same time. You are just like a conductor commanding an percussion orchestra to make sounds.
Nice cover! Also when all those drum keys hit the ground ! : D
Love his take on the starting Tom groove, very elegant
Bruce rocks because he can...!
And I am commenting because I can! :) Cheers!
Very very smooth and clean
Just what we need, another chop suey cover!
Here's another one. :) th-cam.com/video/Hx_QSPRyBwI/w-d-xo.html
and this is my favorite one by far th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
@@ianbridges6040 Totally got me there lmao
Ian Bridges god damnit
Glad you were able to find your “keys” hahaha great video!
What a cool hitting grandpa. Mine only hit the bottle
Mine only hit me

@@jalepenopvp2300same
This has to be the drummer for that band that I cannot for the life of me remember! OR. this is drummer who's easy better than I! Loved it
System of a Down!
Just the intro already deserved the likes =)
Congratz on hitting the 60, while still hitting it!
hats off to you mr. bruce becker...
Yo Bru happy Bday! Great vid. Kickin a** while lookin so relaxed and flewid!
Thanks for the upmix on the piano at the end never had a chance to hear it that clearly.
Bruce makes the drums tell an emotional story. One that is set apart, yet adds to the original song.
Bruce...I enjoyed this so much! Thanks! Nice going!
Thank you Dom!
Bruce Becker You played fantastic! Great for the younger generation to see! Thanks
didn't know Charles Xavier played the drums!! cool cover!
Dude! This is awesome! Love your prolog vid! Grand entrance.
That intro; so funny! XD Great humor. Happy Birthday Bruce and thanks for doing this! This is great!
He makes it very simple
Happy Birthday 🎊
Love Your Playing! The Real Deal👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed his performance keepntyme!
still one of magical music, and this drummer make it outstanding
Great! Now bring John Dolmayan to Drumeo!
Yes!
Best Drumeo intro ever! Kudos to Bruce!
The Jean-Luc Picard of drumming!
Rimshot on every punctuated snare note? Serious skills my friend, great cover!
The K series cymbals will NEVER let you down...
K customs are just one of the best. If it ain't Meinl, K customs are 2nd best.
Those K crashes sound magical. Great video and a better performance.
Chop suey is like the wonder wall of drums
Your cymbal selection sounds beautiful on that song.
3:55 is what you’re waiting for during the whole video
You know it.
Those symbals pure magic sound!
He's way cooler than my grandpa.
My grandpas dead
Poor grandpa :(
Jokes on you, i don't have a grandpa 😭😭😭
He is cooler than me
hes cooler than all of us lmao
SO CLEAN WITH GREAT TECHNIQUE 💪
60 and still has great foot work
hi granpa 😇 thanks drumeo for this drum cover of chop suey. fabulous ! 😇
So that's where all our drum keys have gone
Piano players often make it look like they're fingering sweet sweet love the them keys. This man just passionately smashed the dang heck out of Soad, very cool
Muito bom! Massa essa edição no início 🤘🤘🤘👌👌👌.
Most relax drummer that I ever seen
Clear and perfect drum cover
Just like to go heaven sound..
i think that a double snare is needed when he goes "when angels deserve to DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and on the other similar parts
When you arrive to the party but everyone else already left.
Great cover anyway!
So graceful, perfection.
