- Vote Harry Miree Country Drummer of the year at the 2023 Drumeo Awards right here dude: www.drumeo.com/vote
Hello dudes; gather round. In the olden days we used to play music to live audiences. This is my love letter to that archaic tradition, filmed backstage onstage and beyondstage on tour in the Summer of 2019.
Maybe even more so than any other video I've ever gotten to make, this one is absolutely nothing without a mountain of massively talented and generous friendos who play a role in my touring life. They are TJ, Billy, Paul, Zach, Will, Turbo, Jackson, James, Tanner, Erik, Thaddaeus, Scotty, Logan, Curt, Jim Riley, Nigel, Doug, and Jamie, and I am deeply induded to each of 'em. And dudes: Thank you Chris and Preston for taking a chance on a misfit drummer like me. It changed my life.
Then there are my beloved Patreodudes, without whom I also couldn't've made this jam, so they get extra goodies (ooh, like that ringtone from the intro) at www.patreon.com/harrymiree
Lastly, thank you. I'm so honored you're here and I look forward to sweating some more on each of ya's one day when rock and roll makes its heralded return.
Speaking of whenever that is, when that day comes you'll find the dates at www.harrymiree.com

I've never touched a drum set.... I play guitar.... but dangit..... I speak on behalf of all dudes out there; WE MISS YOU HARRY!!!!!
You still miss Harry, dude?
Holy shit, 3 harry videos in less than a year?
Truly we are blessed.
I know dude!
2020 is really turning around, dude
Incredible right??!!
He knows it’s been a hard one
“What else is there to dude” Harry is approaching Señor Chang levels of puntification.
Or the dean for that matter.
Guilty as Changed
r/unexpectedcommunity
Dammit, where has Harry been????? It's been a year since the last video, this is unacceptable! One of my favorite all time RUclipsrs.
He’s at my school rn
I hope he’s alright!
Hope he's living the good life and back on tour.
I think he is drumming for HARDY now...
@@swAxzyyy_ he donated some drums, right?
This video is painfully accurate 😂😂
Always found playing sheds/house of blues/arenas so boring. Toning beats being able to walk around town, find some food, do so,etching, anything. On the other circuit, you are always in the middle of nowhere .
I miss my drum dude..... I hope he is living his dream
"I have many small resentments towards each of you!" absolutely hilarious lol
Accurate
so accurate
If this comedy gig doesn't work out at least you can fall back on drumming in arenas.
jesus that quote got me "any time could be the last time" realising I inadvertently may have lost that last time
So true.. You suddenly look up and it's been 3 years and your not doing shit. What happened what to my life man.
yep me too Gareth
Life of a musician aye boys. I miss being able to almost pull chicks back to my "house on the road" full of drinks and assholes like me
“That was probably an accident”. I died in that one. What a MEINL artist!
MusicalElitist1 You sound like a Sabian artist, lol
@@slonth ZILLLLLLDJIAN!!!😂😂
@@ericking4072 everyone knows paiste is where it's at. GO ERIC MOORE!!!
@@LanceWillMakeIt oh no no no no, I prefer German quality Cymbals, Meinl for the win…👌🏻xD
Jokes aside, all company’s have great sounding cymbals.
@@Philipp.of.Swabia lol i don't even remember writing that comment, but yeah meinl sounds amazing as well, chris coleman is one of my favorite sponsored drummers for them - i'm just biased cause of how cheap and amazing the paiste pts7 lights sound lol, but if you forget price and just admit to go to the higher level cymbals, all companies are going to sound completely enjoyable
Dude, I didn't realize how much I missed Harry's vids until rewatching this one. We miss you, dude. Hope you're well
hes very well actually! he is now playing in a band called hardy.
The 2 videos about session drumming makes me want to be a professional drummer even more.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
“Fvck it we’ll do it live!”
That was awesome Gary!! 🤣
when he said "And the greatest band of all time.....Nickleback" I died of laughter🤣💀
Dude Im so happy to see your face. As a formerly Touring Tech Director/Production Manager, this is too real.
High Bunk.
Never Shit in the Bus.
Come to Canada?
Shout out to the tech crew!
If you're touring UK it's 'no shittin in the pod.'
@@backyardboogiewoogie ha I never heard that. That's great
Where are we supposed to shit then?
@@taiping2995 an empty beer bottle 😎
hot bag it!
For anyone that cares he almost said “Lot Lizards” at the end of the bus driver section. I’ll leave it up to you to find out why that’s funny
“Why don’t you boys take me into that there motel room and split me open like a coconut? Just treat me like a mailbox, open me up and put whatever you want inside.”
As an over the road trucker, I found that comment hilarious!
I miss my job. I miss crew catering, I miss show bacon, I even miss sinfully early bus calls.
Hope the events industry survives this 🙏
I have no idea who this guy is but he has a great sense of humor.
We desperately need a documentary, or as I should say, a "Dudeumentary" of Harry on tour annoying his band mates and waking them up with cowbells.
Dude, this was accurate and hilarious. I also love the use of the "Fuck it, we'll do it live" quote. Probably going to use that at some point with my bandmates.
I laughed for ten minutes after that subtle Nickleback joke;)
“Anytime could be the last time” I think that’s going to stay with us, from now. Want this pandemic to be over.
It's now May 8, 2022, just for a point of reference. I miss your videos and hope you're doing well...happy and healthy, godwilling.
Every second worth watching! This is art dude!!! Highly Spectaculous and Testacular!!!
I get so stoked when I've seen you've uploaded seriously man. One of the best RUclipsrs and you crack me up! Stay cool dude
An entire day's worth of drummer thoughts: Nine minutes and 46 seconds... 😎
"My drunk aunt at Thanksgiving" I'm dead
“I’m not your drum tech, I’m your bassist” ...same thing.
Dude. I just seen a short of you playing with hardy and chad kroger. Super rad to see youre still out there hitting stuff!
Duuude. Its been years.... We miss you Harry 😢.
A wonderful surprise!! Love getting the Miree notification. Many giggles and insight was had. Thanks =D
"Hide from vice and make a blog, that'll really disappoint the Devil"- Dude
So meta. Making your own video your ringtone!!! Amazing as always!!!
Your sound check was almost as good as my old drummer's... "Testes, testes.... one... two... three???"
Dude! I have my first ever tour coming up at the end of this year. Thanks for the dudely insight. Dude!
I have way too many subscriptions on RUclips, but you are still my favorite one. Thanks for duding what you dude!
when the world needed him the most, he dissapeared
The dude returns. Not a pop country guy but it would be worth it just to see you rock. Rock on my dude rock on.
Anybody in 2024 still waiting for Harry to return?
"And Lot Liz..." I caught that, Henry. HAHAHAHA
As a drummer, one of biggest aspirations is to play in front of a crowd. Whether be 10 or 10,000 people. Loved this video and your humor along with it. Wishing the best on your future endeavors, continue to rock on, and maybe I’ll network with you someday! 🤟🏼
Noblesville! Whatever corporation is sponsoring the Noblesville ampitheater... it is named DEER CREEK. That place changes hands of corporation sponsorship and change the name each time, and it was Deer Creek when it opened in the middle of cornfields, and it's Deer Creek now with the entire town that's built up around it. I used to operate a camera on the catwalk above the audience, and there were a few shows where I would get a contact buzz from smoke drifting up. lol. Very cool to work behind the scenes and see rock n' roll parking lot living.
Dude ! Totally Love this . Love the tour vlog stuff ,keep um coming ....and I'm a bass player . We always hang out with the drummer .
There are many drum channels on youtube.. but only one Dude. Keep dudeing hard, Dude! Cheers from Brazil!
Watched this way back, just voted for your vid. As a restive suburban tech-ite still playing his Tama's I can enjoy vicariously the drum life I had briefly. Your love of Carter Beauford's drumming is also shared. (Your serious vid is very close to me too.)
Harryyyyy!!!
LOVE seeing these videos of yours pop up in my feed. You had me laughing out loud a bunch of times in this. We're all rooting for you man- love seeing you succeed.
You have the wildest configuration and I love it
This video is amazing. I love your sense of humor and everything about this.
So laid-back yet so professional. We could all learn a lot and not just about drumming. Thanks for the great content, look after yourself out there dude.
I was watching some of your old videos back today this upload is great timing dude!
I don’t know... one of the most entertaining vids I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks Dude!
Ha ha. Love it Harry. I wanted one of those tour cases for all my drums.... it would have taken up most of the van!!
"and the wait begins to see if I'll meet the pleasure of the stage again tomorrow" yes that hits do hard this year 😔
Love the fact that you had the lighting guy playing the part of the sound guy 🤣
I get excited like a kid on Christmas when I see a new Harry Miree video. And this one did not disappoint! Excellent work!
Harry, thanks for the insight most of us had no clue about - and told as a good story. You have talent beyond the skins. Please post some performance video if you can and maybe a walk around of your stage kit setup - which I suppose you could have your drum tech .. er .. Bass player do. Later Dude!
Probably the most accurate & realistic description ever produced on the topic. - You always know how to give life the gravity it deserves. I love it!
You are to ego, what cats are to gravity. - I've never seen someone play so light heartedly & have so much fun with the core illusion that owns the rest of the world.
You yourself, are very well played, sir.
Wanted to say after following you for years and being a huge fan, it’s been great seeing you blowing up. See you on Fallon and then the Royal Rumble this week! Rock on Dude!
Great to see a new video! Thanks for your content Harry, you are an inspiration to me and so many others!
This amazing!! Hilarious, TRUE, and masterfully done. It’s like a movie quality tribute to the road! Great job my DUDE!!!
Wow wtf why does this make me miss touring so much?
Good to see you doing so well, Harry. It was always fun working with you @ Aaargh 123 in GH. Glad you’re not stuck in the miree .
You are one of the best storytellers on YouDude... It's just icing on the cake (my cake) that you happen to be an awesome drummer as well, and use your drumming backstory to platform your dudeness to us... (whatever the f*ck that means)... As Always - Look forward to the next installment... Literally my favorite drum channel... and I'm no kid (50 years a drummer dude)... Stoked for you that your getting to perform in these awesome venues... Keep on!
Worth the watch! Dude art at it's best. Your gratitude for the joy of playing is refreshing. Play on.....dude!
This video was a journey within itself, a truly beautiful work of art
@7:40........"1-2-3, Fuck it boys, we'll do it live!". Harry.....funny as fuck. Again. Always. Thx for the mirth.
Dude! Two videos within a week is awesome dude!!!
The Dude keeps on providing the smiles.... THANKS !!!
It is impossible not to love that dude!
Congratulations man!!!! 🥳 🎊🎉🎈🍾
Thanks Dude! I don’t think I could live without your crucial Dudeformation! 😱
Harry,so glad you got to do that tour.Its just the beginning.Your ever encouraging 65 year old dude friend Paul.P.s.I was there when they invented Woodstock and experienced the phenomenal music of the 60s.Wish you coulda been there.It would have blown you away!
Thanks for this amazing video. It made me smile all along and even laugh. That's my video of the year :)
This channel just keeps getting better. Never stop never stopping.
Probably one of the best videos I've seen this year so far.
Hey.. Remember that time you couldn't catch your stick? ....tha... That was funny.
I've watched this on repeat and this vid always, ALWAYS gets me inspired
I’d love the dude act in a movie
You won't find a more genuinely hilarious personality in the music industry. You're the man, dude!!
Dude! You inspire me to make music on the smallest of levels. Thank you for being the dude that you are.
this was great! Great video skills, great storytelling - all around good stuff; hats off!
Thanx for the laughs, first thin I watched after waking up! Great way to start the day... I hope to hire you some day.. :P Cheers from Regina Canada!
Harry you have rekindled my desire to sit down behind my kit. Due to age and injuries I have not played in a very long time. Your snipit on open style of playing has me very intrigued. Thanks for doing what you do dude!!
Your prose is outstanding- as well as your reading of people and their situations but you have dragged so many of us out into the sordid light of your touring experiences, that I for one will need to go back into therapy.
(Support act sound tech in the UK on TinaTurner and Fleetwood Mac tours springs to mind.)
I loved this! Thank you Mr. Miree
The tragedy is that I’ve only now found this page. Immediately subscribed after seeing two vids 👍
Your vids are absolutely fab Harry, love 'em!! Tour bus ... soundcheck ... catering ... show ... again and again and .... haha!!
These videos are hilarious!! Ya make me wish I would've stuck with music and done it professionally. Keep the videos coming.
This may be the most inspirational thing to come out of 2020 so far
Good work Harry, stumbled across this vid and I liked it.
You're living my dream dude! Much respect, thank you for the videos.
#1. madd respect for putting Burgettstown instead of Pittsburgh like the rest of the world does
b. i was just about out of oxygen and this won-dude-ful video brought me back to life. thanks, Evanescence
Oh dude!! Where to start?! So funny!! Thank you for making laugh out loud this morning...really needed it.
Looks like a blast!!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm always happy to see you with new content. It put a huge smile on my face again. The Jokes were fun. The criticism, cynicism, and bare truth were on point as always. Keep your head right/up dude.
A great 'how to stay humble' vid, dude, as always, showing respect to the people that help you stay the course... The crew dudes... Nice one Harry 👌
What a pure origin of joy and mind-refreshness! Thanks Dude!
Harry!!! Miss you tons, my guy!!!
This is fricken awesome dude. Thanks for making this.
You are awesome, Harry!!! Great insights. Hope to see you play one day!
You seem like a genuinely nice guy that spreads joy to those around you. Cheers from a fellow drummer🥁
