I wanna make a joke about whiplash because i just saw that movie and it involves drums, but i'm gonna be honest i can't think of anything clever to tell you you're being a drum snob.
He doesn't even do anything fancy? This is literally high school football drum line stuff.
this kid is scamming people, with some buckets and some flashy drumstick flips...
me and the ten other drum lines did stuff like this half asleep for our highschool football games.
It's not a different level. It's the same technique. You hit something that makes a percussive sound. Anybody who would call themselves a drummer would be able to keep a beat on whatever you handed them. And this kid realistically isn't even that great, sorry to say. Anybody on drum line would be able to do what he did. It looks cool and flashy, and hell, I can't do it, so that's why people give him money.
Drumming on buckets isn't all that difficult. Most drummers I know can use pretty much anything to keep a beat and make it sound decent. Thats kind of what drummers do.
Regardless my comment wasn't about his skill, it was about the title. If he were the best drummer ever (which he is most certainly not) he wouldn't be playing on buckets in the street for change, he'd be playing on a full or extended drumset in a successful band making real money. As far as ability goes the guys alright.
