God he's getting so good. Nobody will probably believe this, but I pitched the bucket slide to him years ago, he's putting that to some damn good use.

His chops are CRAZY!!!

1:18-1:24 BLAST BEAT!

i saw him live once, he is brilliant!

God i couldn't even imagine the quantity he has on a real fucking kit, it must be Godly. My fucking God i was blown away at this. Keep pounding Phil.

I want those buckets. They sound great.

Awesome!

utterly brilliant! i am inspired. well done.

This man is crazy !

Amazing

amazing

amazing ..

Batteur de Rue - Tidy Noise - Amazing Street Drummer

I'm not one to compare drummers, but seeing all the Gordo spam on here has inspired me to comment. Phil is incredible. He plays a variety of tasty compositions with all kinds of ingredients. His drums have a voice of their own and really tell a story. Whereas Gordo is great, but only plays 16th-note-bass-snare all day--I don't even think I've ever heard him play a triplet.

Great!

that grandma got respect!

I always dreamed of buying a nice drum set but now I dream of owning a few buckets and a mini high hat.

crazy devine play

very tasteful and extremely dope

cool, I saw this guy playing in Geneva, thought it was amazing =D

amazing bro

maestro!!

Larry Wright is consistently credited as the original (and still the best and most famous) bucket drummer. Over the decades, Larry has appeared in numerous movies, music videos, television shows and commercials, and a Tony-award winning Broadway musical (Bring Da Noise Bring Da Funk) that was built around Larry Wright and his talents, and now you can check out Larry’s first and only album at itunes.apple.com/us/album/bucket-drums-street-musicians/id1059232658 with a band of musicians including RobOnBass and Lock and Adam Power, an album that received international critical acclaim, from Guitar for the Practicing Musician Magazine that described it as a "model of musicianship", Modern Drummer Magazine said “This album is a primer on how musicians might collaborate in a perfect world”, Bass Magazine (Japan) exclaimed “An unparalleled performance that will leave you awestruck, RobOnBass is a virtuoso on the bass”, Bass Frontiers Magazine offered “Robert Turley (a.k.a. RobOnBass) is a very gifted musician, the album features great cover tunes as well as some outstanding original compositions, every song is entertaining and strong”, Guitar World Magazine shouted “a jazz/hip hop fusion with heavy funky beats!”, and URB Magazine trumpeted “Innovative!”, and of the cover songs Bass Player Magazine wrote “Great arrangements of great songs”, and of the original songs, Guitar Player Magazine declared “Tough, Funky & Fluent…R.O.B.’s original compositions are very unusual and exciting,feature uncanny two-handed independence, and expand the bass’ scope”.

WOW!!!

I saw him playing on the streetcorner today :D

real good

Not to try and sound douchey but as a dude who actually plays drums himself this guy is leagues ahead of that other famous street bucket drummer from Sydney

I think Phil and Gordo should go head to head

yeahhh

bravo

Effing awesome! :-D

Killed it. Found you on the Guayaki website.

Not only does this dude kill the sh!t outta those buckets but he's also wearing a GJ shirt. WiN!

Badass

Yo creia que los afro-americanos eran los mejores. Impresionante°

Un talento en bruto...Excelente baterista :D

well done

Brasil. ok muito bom

Cool

if you look at a snare it has little beads under it that make the actual noise of a snare so he puts coins in the bucket and it produces relativity the same sound

That is fucking cool

niceeeee

He reminds me of one of the guys out of 'Stomp'...

the guy walks in with crutches for people who cant walk and walks out fine

He love me

This guy most likely has a regular kit as well. Doing commercials and events probably give him enough money to get by. I'd guess he still does this mostly for fun. It sure looks fun.

The dude is fast, I'll give him that.

I want him in my band

This guy is just like Gordo

Piccadilly, Central London, UK

i like he plays solo compared plays with his band..

anyone know how he makes that snare noise?

Love the guy with the arm braces wakks over to screw him up then walks away nice budz its good to be a goof

@nicholasgomez261294 I would imagine he has a real kit too. The Skoda advert he did would have paid very well I'm sure. He also does corporate events and guest appearances so I wouldn't assume he's broke.

Shit that's amazing..with a capital S!!!

Esto mola

Where is it? What town?

What Mortal Kombat stage is this from?

That's it!!!!

@shoofercat I've no idea why he's got crutches he doesn't seem to be using them. Maybe he only needs them sometimes? I had crutches for a while but could take a few steps without them too.

Is this video yours? I would like to license it! Let me know, I have an offer for you!

Just because someone is playing the streets doesn't mean they're broke. I wouldn't mind picking up my bass and play on the streets either, if I were anything but regular.

wow he's fast and he doesnt go off

that cymb. stand is so cute, isn't it? Do you think he used the hardware from the throne to make it?

BRB off to Lowe's to get a drum set.

I felt like he was just beating the drum without any beat.

I wish i could walk with crutches like that :33

Seems like a lot of talent...and I've seen a few of these guys, St drummers...I mean, whats their life really like.

His Brother is a pretty good bass player too

Yes bledrin!

Even though its not as fast as Gordo it seems more complex.

needs more cow bell

เจ๋งวะ

There r no simples in bucket drumming Phil, and go head to head with Gordo

notice how he has 2 buckets stacked on top of each other? Probably some rocks inbetween each bucket

maybe! just... maybe.

1:17 ICECREAMTRUCK!

yes he has coins in the bucket he uses as a snare.

@JailBernanke very true. I know plenty of musicians and you're right they are always broke apart from the ones who are multi millionaires...somehow I don't think Phil is a millionaire yet :)

Puro drumer

he looks like the guy who plays in the (whatever) car add !

now, I wonder what will happen when you give him a real, full sized drum set... o.O

WHO NEEDS REAL DRUMS! D

who needs walkers right?

Hey if you like this vid come check out my first upload. I’ve been on an alternative percussion kick lately and decided to try my hand at bucket drumming. Check out my first improv session in my garage and let me know what you think!

he broke a glass bottle in it

did anyone notice the migit

Mantavvp

usually i say lol and dont mean....but actually LOL'd at this comment

😦😦😦😦😦😦

wow! that's not easy to do!

The Jawans (soldiers) of Border SecurityForce of India. are the best drummer in world as they play music. with comb, bucket ,mug, tinbox clay pot etc.

1:04 plastic drums..sounding digital....HELL YEAA

that kid didnt need those crutches..

reciclaje. xd

he must of been locked in the shed as a kid

I'M sorry but something must be said.....I work for Lowes, and our blue buckets would have had a better sound than those shitty orange buckets from the Depot! Just sayin......and he would have made more change!

nsane street drummer after Music Midtown 2015 in Atlanta this past weekend... Check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMx7q7qA3N3Qk5c.html
