Unfortunate that you were speaking in front of a Covid-crowd of like five production assistants, but I'm very happy that it was captured for Internet posterity, as the message is so desperately needed in this day and age. Thank you!
I feel like all these comments about how tough the crowd was missed the point. It’s not about the applause, the gratification, it’s about Harry doing a thing he liked doing, dude. Loved it Harry, rock on.
Harry...this was phenomenal. I grasped every word, for I not only felt you but you know I have lived it. Losing my singing career to cancer 9 years ago prepared me for 2020. I pray your message is heard. Our world appears lost to the wicked, egomaniacal seduction of social media. Phil and I miss you and pray you are well. We are good! Doing the best we can in Mount Juliet and receiving all of life’s joy in every moment. Peace be with you and Merry Christmas dear friend. ❤️🙏🏻🎄🙂
Dude, as a musician turning 32 tomorrow that's been dreaming and hustling and comparing since I was barely a teenager; often demoralised, constantly awaiting and expecting gratification, striving for perfection and too often been close to quitting... I really needed to hear this. Thanks for being so honest about your craft and the life you're leading, it's so goddamn helpful to hear something that real.
Thanks for the talk, dude. Lots of people can talk about drumming but you’re one of the few that talks about being a drummer, and have been so open about your real experiences.
One of the most sincere, and enlightening presentations I’ve seen yet on this channel. He had the courage to put himself out there like an open book, so others can learn from his mistakes, and lead happier, fulfilling lives. Harry is known primarily for his percussion and incredible musicianship, sure, but in the end his greatest contributions to other humans will be moments like this when the drums are silent.
This was fascinating, and quite hilarious at some points. This is why it's more than just your chops that inspire me, it's your personality and overall view on life. I'll never forget the day you sent me a cowbell out of generosity because my drum set didn't have one. Keep doing God's work, my dude!
Awesome talk @Harrymiree ! Creating things just for the sake of creation and being allowed to fail or be different, is what its all about. Thank you for this.
Harry is very well spoken and witty. Good drummer as well. If I'm not mistaken he has fought with depression at times as well. Like a comedian, there is usually always more to the person then meets the eye. Well done Harry.
This , as usual, is so great. Harry is an exceptional person. Really think about what he is saying about worth. It's fascinating because he is such an accomplished musician, comedian, video producer, writer. It is because he is so winning in the important things like that, that his message is so valuable.
More substance in your talk than the audience could appreciate...I totally enjoyed it. Yeah, I am an amateur drummer, but I am also an educated guy with good taste....well done.
Hold on 5:59 Hary Miree was the drummer for Smashing Pumpkins on a single? What song?? is he credited? I literally looked all over trying to figure it out and I'm more confused than when I started
Reminds me of an old Boston song, "Peace of Mind", that I try to live by....sometimes forgetting...but then reminded to take it to heart again. I watched this video...then took it to heart again...
I think about these issues a lot when it comes to my kids. There is this pressure that every activity or hobby they get into has to lead to competition, to judgement from others as to whether they are excelling or not. I try very hard to emphasize that you should do things for the innate enjoyment they bring, not the drive to be better than others or to be famous for it or whatever. The older I get the less I find any interest in competition or accolades. As Harry eloquently says, it is all neverending, and not worth the cycle of stress and emptiness.
I loved this. As much as Harry is trying to inspire the next generation of drummers to do a thing for the sake of the craft, I am trying to help my children find worth in simply enjoying the process of accomplishment for its own sake (rather than finding validation in accolades.) Definitely sharing this with my pre-teens tonight, I feel like they will connect with it. Bravo, dude.
Dude. I'm pretty sure that there actually wasn't a full crowd. I'm pretty sure there were 3 dudes out there. And all three applauded when necessary. That's 100% of the crowd. Dude. That's an A+
@@markdemell3717 As long as I have time with my kids I always do. I know nothing about Hollywood, “Hollywood”, or whatever you mean. I only wanted to make my point that Harry is extremely talented. I’m sorry if you’ve had a bad experience there. Really, I’m sorry
For all those commenting about the tough crowd not getting the jokes- it’s an empty auditorium, the clapping is artificial, there are no crowded theaters during a pandemic. Harry killed it anyway!
Excellent talk, Harry. Heard you talk about the concept on The Nine Eight Podcast and I've been waiting for it to come out. Really made me think about the motivations to do the things we love, or even the things we need to do.
That must have been the most difficult gig Harry's ever done! I hope he gets the chance to do another talk with a full audience as he is incredibly funny and one of the best DUDE DRUMMERS in the world!
Been playing drums since 1990 and I always felt the same way. Had friends that were on another level compared to my 4 on the floor. As I got older the same came to me. I still play and the band sounds great. Not because of my ability or lack of, it’s related to my mindset of having fun. Looking back I wish I could have had the same mindset. Some of the best drummers here in Nashville are the most humble people. The ones that can’t check their ego at the door are good, not great.
Dude! Absolutely love this. Finally came across it, despite being a fan over the past year. I guess not a Taylor Swift stalker type fan.....but a fan nonetheless. Sometimes we need a pause in our life to make us stop, rest, think, rest again, and come to the conclusion that our worth isn't from the accolades. And our value isn't from the random people who give us applause for what we might say or do. Glad you found your peace in the the simple act of doing....even cleaning the roof. Rock on Dude.
Oh man. I relate to this so much. Not in the professional musician sense, but in the searching for approval thing. I love my job, but I am ruining it by making it a competition.
I believe there was a limited crowd because of Covid. But, these words are so true. instant gratification instead of enjoying the process. I may never play Madison Square garden, but I will never stop playing drums myself. Would be cool to play Madison Square Garden though. Great talk sir.
Not a big fan of Ted, I don't even know who he is, but I'm glad that such people as Dude, Adam Neely and other worthy guys get exposure through it as well deliver wonderful presentations :) Also... Where TF is cowbell?!
Hey. The dude giving this talk kinda looks like Jim Carrey.
Dude
A TED Talk, dude!
Needs more cowbell
DUDE
I love you. Probably
That was great dude!
Seeing a musician talk with that level of finesse and intelligence is amazing. It proves how smart he really is.

There was no crowd, this was done during covid. Very few people from the set were the only ones there
Harry Miree should definitely write. I would buy a rambling 'musicians on the road' novel any day.
One of the BEST TED talks EVER. Thank you for sharing your honesty and introspectiveness, Harry. You brought tears to me eyes.
Dang. What a tough crowd! I loved it though, Harry! Just know all your fans are laughing and digging what you’re saying behind the screens!
What crowd? Look at the date.
Harry...this was phenomenal. I grasped every word, for I not only felt you but you know I have lived it. Losing my singing career to cancer 9 years ago prepared me for 2020.

Drummer, philosopher, speaker and a real good Jim Carey impersonator. You gotta love this dude!
Closing the year out with new Harry Miree content? I guess 2020 wasn’t all bad after all. I really benefitted from what you had to say Harry!

I feel so bad for Harry. This must have been such a frustrating crowd. This was literally hilarious.

The crowd wasn't frustrating, the crowd simply weren't there. Good old covid.
Dude..... great to see you again!
More substance in your talk than the audience could appreciate...I totally enjoyed it. Yeah, I am an amateur drummer, but I am also an educated guy with good taste....well done.

Dude this righteous maestro is one of my favorite drummers can you dig it
Dude what a tough crowd! You did great and never let up though. Good job Harry.

We could do with a lot more of this kind of honesty, much respect Harry
You're awesome Harry. Keep killing it, making people smile, and doing what you love.
That audience sucks.
Hold on 5:59 Hary Miree was the drummer for Smashing Pumpkins on a single? What song?? is he credited? I literally looked all over trying to figure it out and I'm more confused than when I started
sounds like he auditioned when Jimmy left after Zeitgist. Would’ve been dope to see him play with them.
Reminds me of an old Boston song, "Peace of Mind", that I try to live by....sometimes forgetting...but then reminded to take it to heart again.
I watched this video...then took it to heart again...
So wonderful to hear you again
Thanks dude. Hope we all get back out there soon. Stay safe.

i love harry, and i love that he sounds like a surfer dude who just so happens to be extremely articulate
Harry Miree is absolutely perfect in every way
Man, this talk needs to be redone in front of a huge crowd.
He’s so right. It’s the process, not the result.
Drumming gives me joy like nothing else in my 52 years has.
Harry is awesome and his message truly inspiring!
FANTASTIC Harry!!!!
Wow, great job Harry! Such an insightful and timely message. Thanks very much!
What a lame crowd. They don’t deserve harry
Great talk.
Probably just an empty room because of the end of the world virus

Good observation. Ted talk should include this fact in description
Outstanding! I applauded you from my house while I was doing something that makes me happy, just for the sake of being happy!
Excellent talk, Harry. Heard you talk about the concept on The Nine Eight Podcast and I've been waiting for it to come out.
Really made me think about the motivations to do the things we love, or even the things we need to do.
First Ted talk that actually means something
So proud of the dude you've become Harry!
It's the journey ,not the destination.Take care Harry guy ,be good and take care .
Hands down the best video ever to contain the word “up-toots.”

Oh man. I relate to this so much. Not in the professional musician sense, but in the searching for approval thing. I love my job, but I am ruining it by making it a competition.
Great talk dude!
love this wisdom from his dudeliness. But yeah, it needs a cowbell dude!

Dude! This is hilarious as much as it is insightful. (Insert cowbell thunk)
Wow thanks Harry.
I'm so happy this speech didn't have an audience. it adds an awkward "The Office" comedic effect that works so well with Miree's sense of humor. Dude.
love this dude
Righteous dude. Drum Wizard
Thank you
Excellent
What a guy the dude of drumming 👍
Dude! Great TED Talk
Very well said sir.
Great job, dude!
