Bruce has mastered his playing technique to the point where he makes playing Chop Suey look like he is playing chill jazz. It's amazing to see just how little energy he is actually putting into his hands, but how great the kit sounds when he hits it.
I just turned 50 and I was contemplating about putting away the drums thinking I'm too old to do it but...I just saw this video and maybe it's not too late to give it one last fling! Awesome job btw! Thank you for the inspiration!
I'm 48 and can finally get seriously into it couldn't when I was a kid then I had kids now I'm single have the time and the money you're never too old bud.
Are you crazy? You're never too old. In fact the older you get the better you get because typically your taste in music appreciates through the years. Just tell your wife and kids to move out if they don't like it.
I always enjoy the expressions on older musicians' faces. They speak of heart and soul, and dedication, both emotional and physical, and it's beautiful honestly!
I love the concept that playing the drums should be like a dance, not a fight. This video is the perfect example of that. Graceful performance of a heavy song.
Once you play drums, it haunts you! You want to beat that drum, it's all a drum, everything is a stick. You want to feel that balance, that stick in your hand. Sod air-guitar, just drum. Drum on it all, drum drum drum.
I'm not a drummer expert but a notice this. Altough he is playing all notes perfectly, his moves are so smooth and clean that it looks he is playing a chilling/relaxing music.
It's people like Bruce that made me pick up a new bass and start to learn something new at 43. I'm realistic in knowing i will never reach that level of mastery, but i'm gonna give it my all!
There is something very special about this video. I wasn't a big fan of the band or this song yet here I am watching this again. Maybe it's the lightheartedness way about it. I don't know but I'm grateful to you guys for putting it together.
i think that a double snare is needed when he goes "when angels deserve to DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and on the other similar parts
I know absolutely nothing about playing drums except it must take an extraordinary amount of coordination, timing, practice and talent to play like this.
Just tap your foot to one beat then try and hit something with your hand to a different beat. 2 foot taps per second and 1 hand hit per second is impossible for me I can't even imagine using every other limb.
Piano players often make it look like they're fingering sweet sweet love the them keys. This man just passionately smashed the dang heck out of Soad, very cool
when i go to other covers, although good, its just not as yummy as this. im not a musician so what do i know... edit: i just realized what it is. Its the opening roll. Bruce's version is the best one there is. all other covers just fail in comparison.
Waiter! Pa-order naman ako ng Porkchop At tsaka ng dalawa ngang kanin Lagyan mo na rin ng konting ketchup! Meron ba kayong chopsuey? Wala po!! 😂 Only filipino can relate with this 😂
Can I confirm that Google/YT are now scanning my thoughts? I don't know, but I woke up this morning with Chop Suey going through my head, and when I log onto here, Chop Suey is on my recommended list!

Keep on rockin dude, its a lifestyle
I'm 48 and can finally get seriously into it couldn't when I was a kid then I had kids now I'm single have the time and the money you're never too old bud.
50 ain't old. Keep rocking. Take some trt
Are you crazy?

User6497 wtf do you mean wtf he’s absolutely right especially with the wife and kids you never get between a man and his drums
Happy 60th Birthday, Bruce, from all of us at Drumeo!
Drumeo, what earphones he is using?
Happy b-day Bruce, from Serbia
Happy birthday! 🎂
Thank you to all who watched and commented and Big Thank you to The Drumeo Team!!
Great! Happy birthday, from Brazil. Good video!
I always enjoy the expressions on older musicians' faces. They speak of heart and soul, and dedication, both emotional and physical, and it's beautiful honestly!
The drum keys falling out of his pockets was a great idea!
For me, that was hilarious
Diatonic5th definitely wasn’t in the pocket that time
Why didn't you leave the drum keys on the table
That whole intro was creative af

No man! Fuck that! New metal is played with feeling. Not with wet Hans lol

You can see that his technique is perfect. Stick just floats in his hand.
this was the thing that struck me the most. Accomplishing the metal tone, without any extra motion or over-exertion
Just like what Ringo Starr uses
I'm not a drummer expert but a notice this. Altough he is playing all notes perfectly, his moves are so smooth and clean that it looks he is playing a chilling/relaxing music.
@@Irwingcomoto yea hes not playing the song correctly the majority of the time, still good tho
Dewey76207 thats the good thing about covers: they dont need to be exactly like the original
Rare footage of Jigsaw playing drums
Lmao
Stupid
the nameless its kinda funny
200th like
🤣🤣
I didnt know proffesor X can play drums damn.
Lmao
Fuck you Logan
Had the same idea about posting this comment haha!
Or Captain Picard for that matter
Captain Picard celebrating after he sent few photon torpedoes on those Klingons.
Bruce: Why did I make this cover?
Drumeo: Youwantedto!
This
Or reverse
Happy 60th Bruce. Remember, that's just 15 bars of 4!
Or 4 bars of 15/4
I think he has been to more than 15 bars, they drank a lot back when he was young.
@@Nuhuhuhuhu am I gonna get woooshed for this
Third twenty ;-)
3:22 Perfect rolling🤘
Such graceful playing
Heck yeah!
Smooooooooothhh 🤘
Woowoowoo!!! Happiest of birthdays to you Bruce! I hope I can rock like you at 60!
Lalalakalala
That ending is just perfect. Never seen that "cymbal?" before.
He walks drums, drinks drums, speaks drums,eat drums. HE LIVES DRUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂😂
To be the best you have to live your craft! :)
@@DrumeoOfficial I am not teasing him, i am amazed of him
He's so dedicated, he even spends time losing drum keys
@@topramen1694 yeah dude
When 'Drum is life'.
I just discovered that Mike Ehrmantraut plays drums and the best is that he likes System of A Down !
Haha Bruce could be a Mike E
double on Better Call Saul
He took a full measure
Exactly. I thought it was mike from the thumbnail
“I’ll handle it”.
Grandpa: "I'm a bit rusty at playing the drums."
Watching veterans like Bruce being so open minded is just pure gold.
the kit sounds amazing, the performance was tight AF too, congrats and happy birthday!
It's people like Bruce that made me pick up a new bass and start to learn something new at 43.

0:48 his face is amazing! It's like, "Here we go!"
I have always been blown away by their drummer from day 1. Amazing cover
this just goes to show Cpt. Picard was the coolest member of the U.S.S. Enterprise
Goes to show Picard was the coolest member of System Of A Down
Glad you were able to find your “keys” hahaha great video!
This dude has skill great stick work and control 🎵🎶😄👍🏼
Mitchell Rage Quit thats what she said
DarkSideDefenders 😂 ahh ahaha
Kids cover this song. Not much skill required.
Master !!!
Happy blessed birthday Bruce. You're still a young man!
Tight cover and fabulous solid sound.
This is why you learn the fundamentals first kids. Man's technique is flawless.
So much soul in his playing! Love it!
I'm glad there are drummers out there covering sick ass drum songs on youtubes. I love seeing how its done. Not like a music video. Good shit, holmes.
Yes more system of a down please👍
And happy birthday Bruce
He makes it look effortless and easy. Outstanding job, sir.
It is easy.
wow, his energy is still there, one of my favourite song~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRUCE!!!!!
Nothing warms the cockles of my heart like an old timer playing some alt-metal.
For real.
Great! Now bring John Dolmayan to Drumeo!
Yes!
This was so elegant!!! I don't know the first thing about drumming but this... Is... A beautiful sight. 😍
George carlin is just bad ass in everything he does! Great cover.
Drumeo are so amazing, they brought George Carlin back from the dead so he could play drums.
I came here looking for this comment xD
Can we all appreciate the sound, EQ, and tone of that drum set..... amazing.
I know absolutely nothing about playing drums except it must take an extraordinary amount of coordination, timing, practice and talent to play like this.

That right hand control and consistency is sick!🔥👌
I really enjoyed your interpretation of this song. Your cymbals sound amazing I especially like the way thay ride sounds 😎
Bruce...I enjoyed this so much! Thanks! Nice going!
Thank you Dom!
Bruce Becker You played fantastic! Great for the younger generation to see! Thanks
He doesn't look sixty at all. So much energy and enthusiasm. Really inspiring. A very happy birthday!!
hats off to you mr. bruce becker...
The mix off that kit is crispy. Love the bass drum it’s solid
This has to be the drummer for that band that I cannot for the life of me remember! OR. this is drummer who's easy better than I! Loved it
System of a Down!
Just what we need, another chop suey cover!
Here's another one. :) ruclips.net/video/Hx_QSPRyBwI/видео.html
and this is my favorite one by far ruclips.net/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/видео.html
@@ianbridges6040 Totally got me there lmao
Ian Bridges god damnit
Bro he is so nice with it man
great cover man
flawless
Brilliant!! The intro was great as well...
One of the best covers
This makes me believe I'll never stop playing drums!
Awesome!
hi granpa 😇 thanks drumeo for this drum cover of chop suey. fabulous ! 😇
What a cool hitting grandpa. Mine only hit the bottle
Mine only hit me
@@kevinrojas4806 get back in your box, Kevin!
- grampa
Mines dead
@@jalepenopvp2300same
The foot work is so flawless
Drumming is not only to play but live it
You got it! Being a professional musician is a lifestyle.
Literally
Piano players often make it look like they're fingering sweet sweet love the them keys. This man just passionately smashed the dang heck out of Soad, very cool
didn't know Charles Xavier played the drums!! cool cover!
Oooh the 2000's... This song is already 20 years old, can you believe it?
A simplicidade é tudo.
Parabéns!!
Love his take on the starting Tom groove, very elegant
Nice cover! Also when all those drum keys hit the ground ! : D
926,039 views, that would be a pretty big concert and of that 876 people wish they could play the drums like you. Well done, great video!
He's way cooler than my grandpa.
My grandpas dead
Poor grandpa :(
Jokes on you, i don't have a grandpa 😭😭😭
He is cooler than me
hes cooler than all of us lmao
The most sane and “clean” soad drum cover 😆😆. Amazing
when i go to other covers, although good, its just not as yummy as this. im not a musician so what do i know...
edit: i just realized what it is. Its the opening roll. Bruce's version is the best one there is. all other covers just fail in comparison.
That intro; so funny! XD Great humor. Happy Birthday Bruce and thanks for doing this! This is great!
Rimshot on every punctuated snare note? Serious skills my friend, great cover!
Chop suey is like the wonder wall of drums
I love how you're playing the second snare hit as a ghost note
Just the intro already deserved the likes =)
Congratz on hitting the 60, while still hitting it!
i waited through the whole video, just for it to be on the final stroke. a great showman knows what we want and to hold out to the climax
So we’re all just gonna pretend we didn’t see that swirling cymbal to his left like that’s just normal
Right
I was actually waiting when he uses it. No idea what sound it may produce.
Alexander Lokhman 3:55
Michael D ah yeah, I missed it. Sort of useless...
The drum keys falling out of his pockets was a great idea!
Drumeo covers are the best
Bruce makes the drums tell an emotional story. One that is set apart, yet adds to the original song.
It’s like watching a conductor on the drums. *goosebumps*
You guys act like a cover has to be exact
He can make it his own
He did. Its very different from the original.
@@michaelcougar6589 the roll in the beginning is sooooo good though i replay it alot.
Those K crashes sound magical. Great video and a better performance.
I wish my grandpa was that awesome ✨
Dude! This is awesome! Love your prolog vid! Grand entrance.
Bruce rocks because he can...!
And I am commenting because I can! :) Cheers!
This song came out the exact day I was born, and Bruce is playing this for his birthday so I think I have something in common with such a nice drummer
Waiter! Pa-order naman ako ng Porkchop
At tsaka ng dalawa ngang kanin
Lagyan mo na rin ng konting ketchup! Meron ba kayong chopsuey? Wala po!! 😂

Pa-order! Pa-order!!
SO CLEAN WITH GREAT TECHNIQUE 💪
Yo Bru happy Bday! Great vid. Kickin a** while lookin so relaxed and flewid!
Awesome! That moves are so eco and precise at the same time. You are just like a conductor commanding an percussion orchestra to make sounds.
When you arrive to the party but everyone else already left.
Great cover anyway!
😳😳😳😳 sir! Ang galing nyo po! My goodness.
60 and still has great foot work
Great music and amazing sound quality.
The K series cymbals will NEVER let you down...
K customs are just one of the best. If it ain't Meinl, K customs are 2nd best.
Can I confirm that Google/YT are now scanning my thoughts? I don't know, but I woke up this morning with Chop Suey going through my head, and when I log onto here, Chop Suey is on my recommended list!
Exactly the same thing happened to me too.
Happy Birthday 🎊
Love Your Playing! The Real Deal👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed his performance keepntyme!
Gostei muito dessa versão. Técnica bastante aprimorada!!!!
Virei seu fã!!!!
Parabéns!!!!
So that's where all our drum keys have gone
Holy crap... I’m impressed!!!
Clear and perfect drum cover
Just like to go heaven sound..
This dude is a beast!
Muito bom! Massa essa edição no início 🤘🤘🤘👌👌👌.
Wow
