tbf i think it's cuz it's mostly muscle memory, so if you know the song well enough, yknow, it just comes out to some degree. Probably true for most other instruments as well i'd imagine. Of course, there's a point where you just aren't physically capable anymore i'm sure

thats why people think they can still drive while drunk cause the driving it self isnt the difficult part, its your reaction speed thats the dangerous part still dont drink and drive!!!!
@@Aurora_17 Sure. I can still play games like Apex Legends 12 beers deep, and perform at an above average level. Some days I can play better wasted than I was previously playing sober

@@gringochucha if you are really good you don't need to practice that much. I can go months without playing and still just jump right in and do it again maybe with just a short warm up.

Wow. Amazing. That’s called years of practice. He’s perfected his craft so well, it’s muscle memory to the point where he can’t get it wrong no matter how lit he gets. Amazing. This guy has talent
I think I would have it fairly committed to muscle memory at this point.. so.. then playing drums as drunk as he was would be easy.. Only have to concentrate for a few seconds.. Play the whole song after shot 15. And then.. watch the playback and laugh at yo silly faces during each fill!! As you progress through the shot ladder..
@@djargen And that, my friend, is complete BS. There is no such thing as "muscle memory". It is only an expression used to described learned motor skills.
@@NOYL_Guitar And before you say any other thing, the dude himself said "I can play drums better than I can walk". But maybe he doesn't use his "muscle memory" to walk? If you knew anything about drumming and neuroscience, you wouldn't be such a smartass, I guess, Frenchie boy.
Yeah, back when I drank a lot, I'd sit down and try to play guitar, and I couldn't even get the thing in tune.... I'd wake up the next morning and it would be so out of tune, I'd have no idea how I got it there - and I would drink about the equivalent of what he did for this video, or maybe slightly less.

You all got to go back in Samus's history., he truly is one hell of a drummer and musician period as he plays guitar and bass tòo. Crazy sense of humor. His fart pedal box videos are hilarious.
That was awesome every single time!!! Muscle memory for sure... see it with all musicians, where they are hammered yet still can play flawlessly! Good job!!
How is that possible? He is completely hammered and when he starts playing he is like completely sober WTF respect!😂 That is what years of experience look like

this is amazing, the fact that he got as far as he did, and was still able to play is nothing short of incredible. his playing seemed to be more laboured, but he barely faltered
So had I not listened to this part 21 times in a row, I would not have noticed the flubs that started around shot 9. It was minor things, a triplet in the wrong time here, an extra pair of notes in the double bass part there. Never the same club, and never in two takes in a row. Amazing.
I'm just now seeing this, and 5 shots in, you would certainly get a DUI if you tried to drive, but your drumming is ON POINT! It's a testament to how second nature drumming is to someone that is talented.

I dont know how manny drummers I've known in my years that couldn't even talk, but played amazingly well with no screwups. Just amazing what muscle memory can accomplish.
Damn bro Samus was absolutely hammered and still played close to perfectly, at the same time I'm pretty sure he's played painkiller countless times as well😂

The gradual slowing of the song was the most beautiful part. To watch how alcohol affects your skills is honestly a good focal point. Thanks for making such a great video.
@@xen0n534 I probably should of used a different word other than protective. I believe the body is producing these chemicals in response to the poison as a coping mechanism. Much like if you receive a serious injury you wouldn't feel it until later due to all the natural pain killers being released. The alcohol in and of itself doesn't have any euphoric properties it's the chemical cascade produced by the endocrine system that feels so good. Not sure if that makes any sense but that's my take anyway.
@@Personalapocalypse77. Yeah it does, when you drink over the top too much you don't receive these chemicals anymore because your brain is do fucked up by the alcohol. But during the "buzz" you receive these, it does make sense that it is some sort of a coping mechanism but I've never taken it that way until now.
I don't catch a lot of your videos in the feed anymore, but I am glad I saw this oldie, but goodie. I am happy to see your wife involved, supporting you and encouraging you in your craft. There is nothing like love (but drums better!)
Dude I have mad respect for you playing one of the most classic Judas Priest songs of all time and taking 21 shots of Fireball in between. I remember I drank 9 shots of Fireball after that I was all fucked up. And I was bowling with friends lol
I'm not a drummer, yet I really enjoy all of your videos. Your playing and drum mix is a pure pleasure to listen to. I've known a band, where vocalist was so drunk, that during the concert break (they were playing all evening), he almost fell of the stairs, yet he sang perfectly. I guess this is the reason why we have to practice so much... :D
This gives me flashbacks to every band I've been in. At some point I'm slumped over drunk drooling on myself and the band asks are you done? Are you too drunk? And i crawl onto my throne and play until everyone gives in.
You have an absolute abundance of charisma and boyish charm, you remind me a lot of one of my mates and you regularly crack me up. Feel like i could easily head to the pub for a drink with you and it wouldnt be awkward hahah keep it up mate! ❤
You're crazy, man. lol (I mean that in a good way.) I've watched you since your humble beginnings on TH-cam and it's good to see your personality come out. You're a good man. And a fantastic drummer (obviously, but I just had to say it lol). Keep on rockin!
A new challenger approaches: Samus books a gig with his band and we all proceed to get him as drunk as possible before he goes on. He then goes on and kills it
He is better than most of us sober, he is hilarious! I just hope he doesn't get sick and hurt too badly. Dude you are an amazing drummer and perfecter of the craft. Please be careful, we don't want to you to poisoning. 😎🥁♥️🙏🎶🎉🎉🤯

I dont know how manny drummers I've known in my years that couldn't even talk, but played amazingly well with no screwups. Just amazing what muscle memory can accomplish.
As we have previously seen, it turns out the entire band can play completely f*cked up and still not miss a note 😂 Muscle memory is an amazing thing
Damn bro Samus was absolutely hammered and still played close to perfectly, at the same time I'm pretty sure he's played painkiller countless times as well😂
It's crazy how this intro still sounds awesome after so many years and after just watching someone play it repeatedly over and over again.
This really shows the role that practice and muscle memory have in musicianship. Good job dude!
But if we drink along with you, you sound great all the way through! :)
Underrated comment right here 😂
Also hello!
"I Don't even know what's going on right now, I just wanna play the drums" story of my life.
Your Instagram would be the story of my life
Recently found your channel and it’s very entertaining content; as well as being informative. I’m not a drummer but I still enjoy content.
thank you Scott!!
i like how his drunk playing is still better than my sober playing
😂😂😂😂😂
i think this really shows the power of muscle memory, sound like he has to be unconscious for it to start sounding sloppy to be honest
Well when you're distracted by your phone. Yeah. Takes work to get there but less work to progress once you break that learning curve.
@@Skunkanoid man I don't know what you're talking about I noticed a difference after the 8th shot.
I know you seemed to have it under control, but please don’t hurt yourself doing challenges. We need you, man
yeah, this was fun and all........proved a point, that.....eeeeeeeer..........drummers are coller and better like all the myths say.......but yeah........dont hurt yourself anymore bud!
love and saluud° from an ex.-drummer in souyth america!
cheers
fun vdeo tho.....im a drunkard too, llol
I love the uncontrollable laughing between shots and takes
The gradual slowing of the song was the most beautiful part. To watch how alcohol affects your skills is honestly a good focal point. Thanks for making such a great video.
You can see he’s gradually getting happier every time he takes a shot
Because his body and brain are producing protective endorphins against the poisonous onslaught.
@@Personalapocalypse77.
Also dopamine and serotonin, but I don't know if they're released to "protect" or just because of the ethanol.
@@xen0n534 I probably should of used a different word other than protective. I believe the body is producing these chemicals in response to the poison as a coping mechanism. Much like if you receive a serious injury you wouldn't feel it until later due to all the natural pain killers being released. The alcohol in and of itself doesn't have any euphoric properties it's the chemical cascade produced by the endocrine system that feels so good. Not sure if that makes any sense but that's my take anyway.
to a point, after 14 i think he wanted to be done. 1 slice Santucci's + water then nap
@@Personalapocalypse77.
Yeah it does, when you drink over the top too much you don't receive these chemicals anymore because your brain is do fucked up by the alcohol. But during the "buzz" you receive these, it does make sense that it is some sort of a coping mechanism but I've never taken it that way until now.
Wonderfully documented journey into what us old timer drummers refer to as the "Bonham effect"
I can't even play one bar of that being sober. First time watching a video of you, man but instant subscription.
haha thank you dude!!
@@66Samus and you, sir Samus!
I don't catch a lot of your videos in the feed anymore, but I am glad I saw this oldie, but goodie. I am happy to see your wife involved, supporting you and encouraging you in your craft. There is nothing like love (but drums better!)
What a beast, I can only handle like 3 beers before whole band and crowd knows I had 3 beers.
“I’m a lightweight”
Proceeds to drink enough whiskey to make John Bonham blush. Lol
40 shots of vodka were too much Bonham :(..and after 10 shots, i`m not a drummer anymore.. i am a fucking singer ;P
21 shots deep and still better than most professional drummers on a good day! Cheers bro!🤘
12:56 "I need another cigarette"
But you just had a cigarette!....... NaOo
Proof that practice makes permanent.
Great job and hilarious to watch.
Dude I have mad respect for you playing one of the most classic Judas Priest songs of all time and taking 21 shots of Fireball in between. I remember I drank 9 shots of Fireball after that I was all fucked up. And I was bowling with friends lol
I'm not a drummer, yet I really enjoy all of your videos. Your playing and drum mix is a pure pleasure to listen to. I've known a band, where vocalist was so drunk, that during the concert break (they were playing all evening), he almost fell of the stairs, yet he sang perfectly. I guess this is the reason why we have to practice so much... :D
I just can't help it, every time I see one of your videos, "I'm a goofy goober.....rock" just plays in my head on repeat 😅
You are amazingly talented
thanks to the lady for her patience and help, cause this was awesome to watch guys!
The man himself just has drumming in his blood no matter what else is in it. Legend!
Super video bro! Even after shot 20 you still had great footwork and hand technique. Literally one of my fav TH-cam drummers
"Use ears protection kids! don't destroy your hearing", then drinks 21 shots and destroys liver 🤣🤣
A liver can be replaced by an donor organ, ears/hearing cant ;)
This gives me flashbacks to every band I've been in. At some point I'm slumped over drunk drooling on myself and the band asks are you done? Are you too drunk? And i crawl onto my throne and play until everyone gives in.
I'm a firm believer that alcohol doesn't affect muscle memory.
Dude you’re amazing! You killed it on the drums after all those shots. You went full auto pilot, no matter the alcohol you’re just a great drummer
This video is like a metaphor for addiction, rhythmically doing something over and over again even though you know you shouldn't lol
Its true.....he's addicted to drumming and wont stop no matter what
🎵step into the shadows we can talk addiction/when it's harmful where you going and part of you that know it don't give a fuck
not addicted to alc I hope cuz no he’s not💀😂
You have an absolute abundance of charisma and boyish charm, you remind me a lot of one of my mates and you regularly crack me up.
Feel like i could easily head to the pub for a drink with you and it wouldnt be awkward hahah keep it up mate! ❤
You're crazy, man. lol (I mean that in a good way.) I've watched you since your humble beginnings on TH-cam and it's good to see your personality come out. You're a good man. And a fantastic drummer (obviously, but I just had to say it lol). Keep on rockin!
thank you very much!!
My man is WASTED by the end, and still kills it. Much respect!
100th like! ;)
A new challenger approaches: Samus books a gig with his band and we all proceed to get him as drunk as possible before he goes on. He then goes on and kills it
I love how each shot it just looks like he's having more and more fun doing it.
"I need another cigarette"
"But you just had a cigarette 20 minutes ago."
"...Nope!"
Relatable. So relatable when drunk.
He is better than most of us sober, he is hilarious! I just hope he doesn't get sick and hurt too badly. Dude you are an amazing drummer and perfecter of the craft. Please be careful, we don't want to you to poisoning. 😎🥁♥️🙏🎶🎉🎉🤯
he is drunk at 5 shots. He clearly doesnt have a problem.
its awesome to see your channel grow bc its genuinely a cool dude being his goofy himself
What a great experiment! Seriously. Man that’s good content
