Yeah.

if you can play drums but can't afford drums, you can do this.

Example of better bucket drummer?

drums or stfu

Well, like I said, YouTube.

... And so on.

Of course, if straight up mechanical 4/4 is your thing, then this guy just might be the one for you. I just don't find it interesting.

I've seen plenty of better bucket drummers in Boston alone. The best one didn't even use drum sticks, just short, fat (maybe 1" diameter and 8 or 9 long) pieces of tree branches he'd gotten at the park.

Also, this guy has more buckets than he needs, he needs two tops. At this point he should at least have a couple cookie sheets for a snare.


He's not BAD but I don't really get why people are all excited about it, he's just playing variations on the Amen break and his phrasing's not that great.

You win this round, Cube.

He's not special, per se. This video showed up in my "recommended" list, and I thought it was worth sharing. Sorry I'm not as savvy at internet busker bucket drummer vids as you.
