Fair play to Meinl. They've endorsed him - but only after this video by the look of it. That's probably the right way round- dude bought the gear with his hard earned and now they endorse him. This model should hereby be known as "Endudesment"
yo dude, I just wanted to say, I think you're absolutely incredible. I'm a keys player, and a human, and the way you include the negative parts of real life that social media tends to edit out is just wonderful. Does the absolute opposite of inspiring jealousy, which is especially impressive considering how great a drummer you are. You've really inspired me today, much love buddy
I gotta say this was an awesome vid. I only just revently found you on youtube but I've very much enjoyed what I've seen so far. Your down to earth personality and casual bluntness with your experiences and advice is refreshing and appreciated.
Thank you for being so honest about your situation. I feel like the drumming community as a whole tend to develop such strong opinions about gear and endorsements because let's face it...IT'S EXPENSIVE. We've invested a lot into our kits, so of course we want to have pride in what we use. In the same regard, if you don't think someone offering to take a little of that financial burden off your back for using "sub-par" gear is an appealing idea, then I'd say you're mistaken. All too often people are hearing with their eyes nowadays and not paying attention to what's actually being played anyway. You do you, and do whatever it takes to keep drumming! Ps: I can't wait to get a Switch, they seem like the perfect thing for the road :O
It's refreshing to hear an honest opinion about endorsements. For many years I paid big $ for gear my idols used only to see them dump it on the next record...S%#t now I need to sell it all and go order another brand??? WTF? So anyway I learned the hard way to buy what I liked which is why my Pearl kit had Sabian, Zildjian, and Paiste cymbals and a floor tom from "musketeer" drums lol! But you know what? That kit sounded amazing in the studio and nobody ever griped about the competing gear within my bag o tricks. Thanks again Harry. Subbed for life dude
Lol 😂 you’re my favourite drummer! For the reason that your are real no fake stuff. Definitely have seen a lot of what you are talking about on Instagram with a lot of new stick company’s popping up, I have been contacted by a few company’s I tried out their products and posted them gave them publicity and sold my drummer soul to them at the end of the day it’s still cost me the same amount of money to grab my favourite los Cabo’s sticks from my local music store so I’ll stick to the brands I love and if they contact me I’ll work something out until then don’t sell out!
Dude, more cowbell. WOW that's a trip. So I found by flipping thru my Amazon fire this eve, and have many ( maybe a doz) of your videos. Enjoy them all! Even stalked you on a Facebook and left a "stalky" private message. Dam music industry. Hey, you gonna be at NAMM this Jan 2018???
That's the fun thing about being a saxophonist. Every pro endorses multiple companies at once for the same product but actually just keeps playing his old vintage gear.
I fucking love you man!!! you're knowledge and intellect mixed in with you're dry comedy make's for a pretty incendiary viewing experience!!!!! Inspiring DUDE!
I always was one of them dudes that was like: i don't care about brands, I play what sounds good. After I got sponsored from a big cymbal company I got infected myself
A guitar player I used to jam with called buying lots of equiptment to sound bettee the "Golfer's Syndrome." Defined as, "The overwhelming urge to spend lots of time shopping for golf clubs (guitars/drums, ect) to make you better at what you should practice at." Don't get me wrong. You need equitment to sound good too. But maybe you should buy your singer a PA so he's not screaming into a broom stick because he spends all of his money on hair care products.
SPIRITtone gives anyone an endorsement these days. One of my fav drum guys on youtube made a video on why he left spirit tone, because they kept cracking, and he ended up having to take the video down.
Haaa haaa i should get a endorsement for pilows, counter tops and toilette seats...because i play Pearl Drums and im out of furniture ...what hapen?? I dont know??? Lolll
Chirst, I didn't expect something this deep from a channel I initially subscribed to for drummer faces. Hats off to you for your transparency.
Harry is amazing
Don't you mean hi-hats off to you?
Fair play to Meinl. They've endorsed him - but only after this video by the look of it. That's probably the right way round- dude bought the gear with his hard earned and now they endorse him.
This model should hereby be known as "Endudesment"
Technically he endorses them. But yes.
The more I watch your videos, the more I want to shake your hand. You're such an inspiration to me as a musician.
I actually find Harry more of an inspiration as a person. Such a cool dude.
I second that.
1. Loves his Tostitos endorsement
2. Feels indifferent towards his cowbell endorsement
3. Not sure what he hates
Good on you for being transparent. We should be choosing gear with our ears, not our wallets.
I found high priced cymbals that don't sound great, but no low priced ones that do. Where they keep the cheap hand-hammereds at?
Marshall Brown dream cymbals. They sound só good. I think that's wat you're looking for
Niek de Vries I agree. Dream or Wuhan. Wuhan chinas are amazing and affordable.
yo dude, I just wanted to say, I think you're absolutely incredible. I'm a keys player, and a human, and the way you include the negative parts of real life that social media tends to edit out is just wonderful. Does the absolute opposite of inspiring jealousy, which is especially impressive considering how great a drummer you are. You've really inspired me today, much love buddy
someone asked me if i had any pictures of myself when i was younger. i said "they're all pictures of me when i was younger"
thank you
This honesty is so great! You're a very down to earth dude and it's very refreshing to hear some truth coming from a popular musician.
Um Soultone Cymbals lol I recognize the artist pricing font from the paper...I have one myself lol I had to laugh my butt off at that one
Same! Haha
I gotta say this was an awesome vid. I only just revently found you on youtube but I've very much enjoyed what I've seen so far.
Your down to earth personality and casual bluntness with your experiences and advice is refreshing and appreciated.
I am also a Nintendo enthusiast and drummer. Most dope my dude
"SpiritTone Cymbals"
oh yea btw it's soultone cymbals in case you're wondering
Mister Problematic i was wondering,
@Mister Problematic I too, was wondering
I was wondering too.
Mister Problematic yeah you’d have to be an idiot to not know what he’s talking about Hahahaha
Just found this channel, and I love it man!! Keep up the hilarious/inspiring real-talk. Thanks for everything!

*Spirit Tone wants to know your location*
Harry, You are an All-Around Amazing Dude. Keep up the insightful insights, the awesome drumming, and the Clever Comedy. Thanks Dude!!!

I'm happy to announce my endorsement from the "Dude dont quit your day job" company!
Cool vid by the way!

yo man your channel is gonnna grow a lot in the coming months keep up the great content. very entertaining as well
i love how brutally honest you are. just subscribed
That's the fun thing about being a saxophonist. Every pro endorses multiple companies at once for the same product but actually just keeps playing his old vintage gear.
This is really, really good. Bravo, man.
whoa dude! are you playing Meinl now? how come? why did you switch? did you get an endorsement?
obv someone didn't watch the video before commenting.
Devin Buchhorn it was a joke
Yes he is meinl now
Devin Buchhorn I think he actually is in meinl now
Dude, I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't make this comment dude. Thanks dude.
Oh my god a drummer dude who loves basketball. Harry you've once again proven that I love you.
I've watched through a bunch of your videos - just found you today. Love the content. You've got a new sub.
The 3 companies he was talking about:
1) Pearl
2) Vic Firth
3) Evans
Lol
#TeamRemo
CR7TheGunner I think....
Loves Vic
Indifferent about Pearl
Hates Evans
But idk
Spirittone is soultone lol
@@b.cramer4573 yh maybe, but bottom line is he hates Evans lol
Why would he hate EVANS?
I fucking love you man!!! you're knowledge and intellect mixed in with you're dry comedy make's for a pretty incendiary viewing experience!!!!! Inspiring DUDE!
Harry always brings the humor and intellect.
I love your videos man, cheers from a fellow Berklee dude, dude!
This is possibly the best video on this this subject! I LOVE THIS MAN!
Dude, your video style is so uncool ( in England we use the word NAF) that you are really the coolest of the cool. Keep on being NAF dude. I’m a fan.
Preach Harry!!!!!
Is it really that easy to get a Soultone endorsement? If so I gotta rethink my setup
"endorsement" lol
You are genuinely funny....dude. From a 66 year old keyboard player from Nashville!
I always was one of them dudes that was like: i don't care about brands, I play what sounds good. After I got sponsored from a big cymbal company I got infected myself
Nail, meet hammer. Wise words, and fair play for the honesty and transparency. Also, great channel! \m/ :) \m/
This dude is the Ryan Reynolds of drums
This was extremely entertaining. Thanks for the great uploads.
Bloody great mate...
.and deep too
Well....that was timely, per my discussions with my bass and drum dudes just yesterday.
Damn, I knew I seen you before, on the consumers nuclear wasteland, for once, maybe somewhere in a live jungle somewhere, great work dude!!!
this is the best Beard on the channel.
Great video. Just reinforces what many of us already know.
Love ya man! Hang in there and keep jammin!
I don't know anything about drumming, but I do like this video.
Hahaha! This is funny. I too believe that the remote hihat rh 2000 stand I just bought will make me play just like you :)
I'm sad to admit I was one of the kids who fell for the Spirittone thing. I sold my entire Meinl collection and I always regretted it.
:(
DUDE, YOU ROCK !
Dude, you're too smart for your own good. And I love it. Be well dude.
Awesome Sauce
A guitar player I used to jam with called buying lots of equiptment to sound bettee the "Golfer's Syndrome." Defined as, "The overwhelming urge to spend lots of time shopping for golf clubs (guitars/drums, ect) to make you better at what you should practice at." Don't get me wrong. You need equitment to sound good too. But maybe you should buy your singer a PA so he's not screaming into a broom stick because he spends all of his money on hair care products.
Wait, so he switched to Meinl because he prefered the sound, right? (bought with his own money)
Dude, that fart sounded amazing!
Oh, man. This hurt. Thanks for sharing, Harry. ##
That is so true. I don't care what gear you use. I care only about genre. I class you in a genre. How terrifying is that?
That video left me with a need for more cowbell....
Dude, your writing is gloriously bizzare.
Dude, you're a genius
Your on a whole 'nother level bro.
amazing honesty
i dont even play drims but this is ethics in youtubeing
Do you think you could do a step by step process on how to tour maybe if you know the answer haha I wanna "tour" Europe w my band but don't know how
*spirit* tone
Hey Dude, were you serious about there being a shortage of studio drummers in Nashville?
Keep it coming, Harry.
I love you and I miss you so much
This was incredibly deep
Subscribed after this video.
Dude, this still doesn't address my offer to buy your old K ride!! Now, can we get back to your regularly scheduled videos?
More Cowbell!
(Too soon?)
This is great dude. Subbed
Soultone
YOU CRACK ME UP!!!
Dude! Could you do something by Neil Young? Because, ya know, sometimes.
Gearitis? My bass player friends and I call it GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
youre a good man, dude.
really enjoyed your vids...;)
Great video, dude!
one of your best vids..................
Interesting!
10/10 great content..
SPIRITtone gives anyone an endorsement these days. One of my fav drum guys on youtube made a video on why he left spirit tone, because they kept cracking, and he ended up having to take the video down.

Great channel

The question in everyone’s mind, who has BOTW on wii U?
I Love your content

mein Freund you rock. We share the same truth turrets.
How 'bout them Preds?!?!
Haaa haaa i should get a endorsement for pilows, counter tops and toilette seats...because i play Pearl Drums and im out of furniture ...what hapen?? I dont know??? Lolll
You, Sir, are a dude!
The content of this video is more confusing than the story-line of Inception.
So did you buy those cymbals before or after you got your Meinl endorsement!? Derp
dude i got a question, are you drunk when you do your video's? #drunkenvideos 😂😂😂 cool videos by the way
