- Dylan Elise is a 16 year old drummer playing at the Tauranga National Jazz Festival in New Zealand and he's pretty good. Seriously though, this guy does the most amzing stuff I've ever seen done in the drumming world. To see more of Dylan look at the response vidoes.
I first watched this video as a 12 year old drummer and was amazed. I’m 23 now, and I set out on TH-cam to find this video again. Still the best drum solo I’ve seen and yes I’m still playing
yes it is
i watched this solo 7 years ago for the first time and to this day, it still looks to me as the best sounding drum solo on youtube.
The3DP
agreed! I watched like maybe 7 years ago too. was determin to watch it again.
Same here
How is it that he isn`t even mentioned as one of the best drummers in the world?..I can`t believe that.@@kuwarikutti
same to me !
Same here
I've been drumming more than 40 years and believe me , this kid is GREAT. I've seen big time pro drummers that couldn't come close to his talent . He doesn't even need a band . I would buy a ticket just to watch him live !!!
Possibly my all-time favorite drum solo
Mine too
I was a die hard Buddy Rich solo fan, until I saw this. Mine too.
I revisit this every couple years. I honestly have not heard a better drum solo on all of youtube.
You should check out more solos
Tony royster jr when he was 12 years old. Also one of the best video's
I started playing in the 60's all the mainstream stuff and retired New years of 95 from a 12 piece R&B band locally. With the advance techniques and how far percussion has gone, I can't imagine anyone like this Man who has taken the knowledge of the Drum to this advance stage of learning. I know there's lots of great drummers but Elise is so much fun just to watch the amazing use and especially the ability to divide his timing between the drums and other percussion instruments he uses. A lot of time and effort went into him applying himself to go this far with percussion. Hope his career is long and everything he has worked for.
had groove, chops, creativity, dynamics, showmanship. showed great independence, and built up the solo to a climactic point by starting out small and building up using chops.
I've watched this video so many times but get goosebumps everytime he starts playing this incredible groove at 2:02
Totally agree!!
He is pretty damn tight with his one-handed rolls.
why whenever I watch this clip I go crazy and I don't know whether to cry or scream !!! As drummers we all know that this is the best solo ever played
One of the most talented drummers i've ever heard .. and i been a drummer for 40 yrs
I'm a self-taught drummer, I've been drumming for more than two decades, & if you locked me in a room with nothing but me & my drums for ANOTHER two decades, I still wouldn't be able to do what this kid can do.
please can you teach me little beat. But I have no money to buy drums and I live in small house but still I want to learn I can use stick and my desk but plz teach me :(
6:12 this part is sick. He accelerates with snare but slows down with double bass drum and visa versa...... Insane coordination
Tim Van Tilt Thomas Lang started that.
@@cowzilla8 Jon Hiseman did it before Lang
Mind fucking.
Us 'drummers' "I totally killed that solo!!!!"
Dylan Elise "That's cute..."
I have watched this solo for yrs and in my opinion it was the best one you've ever done. You used your entire kit and really mixed it up. If Buddy Rich or Neil Peart were to see that they would be impressed. If you ever come to Vs Beach I'd love to see you play. Thanks Dylan for all the great years. You are one of a kind.
That transition from 2:25 to 2:30 has been stuck in my head since 2014.
Same thing bro! And the beat at 3:00
coming back every once in a while for just that transition
Now thats a drum solo!! What I really like is when he is near the end of it and he loses a stick while twirling and rolling and picks up another stick and goes right back into the twirling and rolling. Not only a great soloist but has balls the size of elephants. My hats off to him!!
Just an outstanding talent, so melodic, and an insane sense of timing and independent co-ordination. I expect he will be walking on water some time soon........
Man, only a 16 year old, and he can pretty much doing any type of drumming, whether it's jazz, metal, independence, rock, latin, stick tricks, or just epic free-styling. A ton of potential in this fellow right here, maybe one day be one of the greats in drum history.
I've been following him for the past 5 years and honestly I am at a loss when I watch his videos. 16 years old here and he's off chops.
Dylan is fucken professional.
He's only 16 years old ... gulp !!!
To be that good at any age would be a dream for most drummers.
His independance on each leg & arm is impressive.
Some people are born to drum, with the amount I've practiced over the years I'm not even close to this guy ... he is an inspiration.
That was ten minutes of my life I'll never get back- and I'll never regret giving them
Twice.
I have to tip my hat off to him. I have been around the best. But I never heard nothing like him before in my lifetime. This guy is bless with more than a gift. Greatest drummer I heard thus far
This kid is from another solar system! Absolutely amazing talent and gift! Way to go Dylan!
Astonishing, fabulous, unforeseen, phenomenal. Impossible to believe
He makes me never want to play the drums AGAIN! Nice job !!!!!
To me the most impressive drumsolo I found on youtube. Some say influenced by Thomas Lang, but already in the 70ties there was a dutch drummer called cesar zuiderwijk who had this style with double bass, twirling and throwing sticks and hit the cymbals from below. Maybe watched him well?
This is not okay guys... Young Dylan here is one step ahead in the evolution compared to the rest of us :D Way to go!
Awesome!! One of the best I have watched and heard...and I've heard a lot of good drummers.
This guy is crazy!!
For those that say its all technique or whatever, you are either jealous or ignorant... drum solos are about grooves, creativity and amazing rhythms...and this guy is doing all that easily.
Great playing...WOW!!
That was incredible. I've been playing for over 26 years and yeah, I don't know what else to say but 'Wow'.
Love it, wicked drumming, fantastic rolls. Great to see cross stick style in use.
so much speeeeed. it looks like hes hardly even hitting that shit. it just looks like hes waving a magic wand around. absolutely amazing
Why the dislikes? Dude is phenomenal!
+Andy Serrano ....one word, "JEALOUSY"
+Andy Serrano Probably coz he's a kiwi from little ol' New Zealand. Churrrrr!!!!
no dude no dis likes he is excellent I'm jealous I can't play like that !
This video is still just as amazing as the first time I saw it over 2 years ago. Absolutely amazing.
i love how he got that quarter of a second to wipe his brow what a champ
he's Crazyy,Amazing
needs more cow bell.....absolutely brilliant by the way
One thing I really respect about drummers when they do these big solo sets is how even though their arms and legs and every muscle in their bodies have to be stretched to the limit, they still always finish with a huge finally. I'm not a drummer, as much as I wish to be, but I do watch a lot of drumming videos, and Dylan Elise is by far my favorite and probably the best I've ever seen. Tony Royster Jr. comes in at a close second. And my favorite single drumming video here on TH-cam is Godsmack's drum battle video, which is second to none.
is this the same guy in all those street performances?
yes. most of them are on the youoriginal channel
+Brandon Walker
yup he's the one
Alot comments saying he is not as good as thomas laing, buddy rich etc.. what they forgot to see is this kid is only 16 years old in this solo. To me that is ridiculously good. I like to see the so-called best at age 16 and compare them to dylan. Any footage?
Jacob Petero my mate jacob chatfeild is better he is 16 and has played drums for 10 years and plays for at least 3 hours a day as he is home schooled i am a guitar and never seen anything like it
Curtis Young Just check youtube and there is no vids. Get him to post some vids so we all can compare, who's better.
The only comparison is Tony Royster Jr. at 12 years old. Both of these guys are phenoms. This is by far my favorite solo but Royster makes most drummers look really bad.
@@bergerfry I agree. But at the same time, Dylan has some kind of underlying spirit to his drumming that Royster seems to be missing, despite his insane technical ability. He simply sounds more lively when playing, and not like a computer, which, in all respect, Royster often sounds like.
yh id definately turn him away cuz hes no thomas laing. if im picking a drummer to play in my band he has to be god and have superman human powers. he also has to wear a full knights armour and play this whilst fucking a dragon. he has to speak in orc language also. anyone else isnt worthy.
How the hell can 1240 dislike this???!!
dislike is from christian eigner...:)
After watching a few solo vids I learnt drummers are jealous dickheads
+Jamie LodgeHotel Not Dylan bro he's a good guy! watch some of his videos and your see.
Jamie LodgeHotel *most drummers. I'm a drummer and I am easily amazed by solos.
Cos it's in 240P that's what i like to think
honestly one of the best Solo's I've ever heard and that's saying something.
1400 people don't know anything about drumming...
We do.
That's why we disliked it.
@@rejectedautobiography so arrogant as usual and trash drummer like 90% of the drummers who do not even deserve being called drummers. guy is good
@@ethanmau6470 😂😂😂 I'm just as entitled to my opinion as you are and in my opinion, he's a boring and unimaginative drummer. Who said I was a drummer anyway? Just because you think he is good, doesn't mean everyone else should. If you like him, that's fine! I guess my ears are just different to yours ☺
some of the stuff was entertaining and fun, even if there was inauthentic borrowing of patterns from other cultures, but hes only 16. Some of it was mindless chops. In terms of a one man show it was interesting. He sounds like what he was, an enthusiastic kid learning and exploring drums.
And have no appreciation of how hard it is to do all of that.
who ever says this is shit is obviously jealous as fuck. the shit i just seen i have not seen anywhere else
FAKE ! ! !
Any REAL DRUMMER would know that what he is playing is humanly IMPOSSIBLE for just one person ! ! !
Thanks Dylan Elise ! May you be the new worlds BEST Drummers ! Buddy Rich died, you're just in time ! ! !
Man, I agree!
Either you're really stupid, or you actually think this is fake...I going with you're stupid.
Oops, I have seen this guy in several videos, he is the real deal!
So..fake, no.
hahaha!!! You're a fuckin' numb-skull.I bet you think Santa,Jesus and God are fake too. hell! lol. Oh, and Noah and the Tooth Fairy
Why so mad? Maybe he is that good? Do you play drums?
Amazing! A one handed buzz or press roll. I've only seen it done once before by the Master Buddy Rich!!. Dylan's independent hand and feet patterns are thing of beauty not to mention the degree of difficulty to play like he does. This guy's a true marvel !!
not of this WORLD! LOL
Who came here cause of Whiplash...lol
Same, saw the film Whiplash, and was inspired. Always loved Jazz. Just brought the importance of drums to the forefront
Not quite my tempo...
Simply Brilliant with a combination of awesome independence, speed, creativity, elements of personal signatures including great rhythm in parts of the solo and entertaining!!!!! ------- Just keep going ...........
This was a fine job here! Great speed and he looked like he was enjoying it!
Greatly gifted. One of the more interesting and unique solos I've heard in a long time. Wish I had his skill.
Absolutely amazing. I am astonished from the mixture of rhythm, speed, dexterity, melody, timing, originality, this kid has it all!
This is one of the greatest drum solos I've ever heard.
Absolutely.
I don't know how anyone could dislike this, but take it from a guy who has been playing drums for almost 40 years, this kid has skills on another level. He's older now and there are more videos of him playing and he's only gotten better. At 16 here, he could be ranked in the top 20 in the world for rudimentary hand skills. This kid WILL be a famous musician. He just has to chose what band he wants to play with cause I'm sure they're lining up at his door already
Insane talent like this doesn't come with just practice. You have to be born with such potential then develop it. I had the chance to meet him and watch him play in person in 2016.
As many others had to come back here.. Still the best drum solo on youtube.. He sure made something special there.
It's funny how I always come back and watch this video and try to hit the like button, but it's already active
i love how the left pedal has been used drummers, his one handed snare roll was awsome to start with, i am a metal drummer and i admire jazz drumming alot, how creative is this solo? wow!!! youtube is awsome for young drummers to get inspiration, watching good musicians makes you want to go play also, love drummers and drumming, makes or breaks a band,
Not sure whether he lost a stick or discarded it from a broken tip. Either way, he never missed a beat, and everything about this
solo is superb. I first saw this ten years ago, and keep coming back to it because it is utterly mind blowing.
Dylan Elise is hands down, one of the top drummers in the world today, that no one has ever heard of. Too bad.
I know that he has been touring the States with Blood Sweat and Tears, and has a gazillion views on TH-cam, but other than that, he is not getting the notability that he deserves .
This guy is freaking amazing. One-handed rolls. He totally utilizes every cymbal, tom, and bell. Keeping a perfect beat all the while twirling his sticks. And his footwork is excellent.
un f---in believable, wow,!! and I just realized that he's only 16 years old, Wow again. Dylan my little drummer buddy , your future is wide open. Simply amazing.
I see this, see, see, see, see, but is not possible, is incredible!!! TOO MUCH!!!!!
THANK DYLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredible stick juggling! Guys like this have different neurology from normal human beings. I've heard the term "motor genius" used to describe people who are on another level, physical coordination-wise. They are the star athletes who have such perfect control over there muscles and limbs that they seem like they're from another planet. The great tennis stars, and great drummers like this, etc.
Only 16,I cannot imagine the potential this guy has! Incredible!!!!!
One of the best drummers in the world? Probably. Awesome!
WOW! that was a totally insane drum solo! I almost cant breathe...............
absolutely the best percussion performance i have ever seen ......marco from rochester n.y.
Another prodigy! Nice one Dylan, most inspiring;).
I have never in my life imagined thus done by any person on the Planet. Should be ib Vegas as a 10 min feature. He dropped a stick and recovered is better than not dropping a stick as showed total control even more. Thanks Dude, was awesome.
I'm gonna watch this video over and over again. So good !
The best in the entire world Trust me, I've watched and followed most of the top performing artists.
I actually saw this performance!!! made me get seriously thinking about playing drums! Flawless performance and a real showman!
Dylan is a World class Drummer!!
this can't be real. no one can have that much talent and skill. once in a lifetime.
That man's skills are beyond words!
Video-description ... "and he's pretty good"
understatement of the year
This is still f**king amazing after all these years!
This kid's talent is beyond reproach by any drummer period.....
OMFG I just saw a video where Dylan Elise in 2016 was playing in Arlington Texas...............WHERE I LIVE!! WHERE I'VE LIVED MY WHOLE LIFE!!! Holy shit I can't believe I missed that!! I mean I got a pretty good reason for missing it....I didn't know he existed at the time. Miraculously, I've only just discovered Dylan a couple of months ago. Which is really weird because I often watch various drumming videos here on TH-cam. Yet somehow I missed him. But still, what are the odds he will be coming back to fucking Arlington Texas?! Oh I would say he will be back in about NEVER!!!!! Dammit what a tragic miss that was.
i never get tired of listening to this masterpiece
Truly amazing, I'm not going to say I've been drumming for 20 or 40 years like everyone else on hear because I'd be lying however I know true talent when I see and hear it...
This is why I like yo tube. I can access masterpiece’s like this man playing.
Can you imagine having to follow this? 😵💫
Whoa!!!!
Bruce Lee died many years ago and got re incarnated as a drummer!!!!
But on a serious note that would come close to being the best solo iv ever seen! As pointed out from a friend that showed me the video how many other drummers (professional) have you ever seen that can drum roll that fast let alone drum roll ONE HANDED!!!
Thats wonderful solo drum, i really admired !!!!! 🙏🙏👍👍
awsome left handed snare roll when he started his solo, i like how a lot of drummers are using left pedals for cowbells, etc, to add to a solo, overall one of the best i have seen, thomas lang, tony royster jr, and now dylan elise young drummers get inspired,
Flawless Dylan!! Amazing!!
@MrXelium haha
Just watched again and frickin WOW??!! Speechless!! Dylan, you gotta be rewarded for your talent somehow??!! Good luck to you!!
for all the fools that are sayin theyve seen better, please link it. otherwise i say this is some of the most incredible drumming ive ever seen in my life.
Those 975 people who disliked this video were watching something else obviously. This is an amazing drummer.
Pure music, pure emotional touch! The best drumact i’ve ever heard, and so very much what i’ve been dreaming of when i was a young kid who was playing drums besides piano.
Just discovered Dylan....WOW. He takes it a couple levels up. Amazing drummer, especially being young!
I didn't know it was possible to be that good at anything, ever, let alone at the age of 16. My vocabulary is not sufficient to describe this. Words like awesome, amazing, stupendous, astounding, astonishing, unbelieveable, -- all are inadequate. Thanks for posting this. Like Saliere in Amadeus, I will now go back to my comfortable mediocrity.
Worth a share!
Well said. This kind of drumming is an amazing display of chops and entertaining in its own right, but when it comes to playing music, to say this is overkill is an understatement. Play like this in a cover band and you'll never be invited back.
Sick as hell. Better with each hand than most any drummer of the normal world.
Some people are just born with this kind of beat in their heart, this guy just mastered the way to let that beat out on the drum set :D
Beyond amazing
Sixteen years old. Amazing. Immense talent and a heck of a lot of practice.
Equipment evolution and the building on technique will never have an older generation be better than the next but we are where we are because of them.
What can I say... this guy has been blessed with... TALENT!!
AWESOME!!
