What an honour for TheKillers to play with this kid
One of the greatest all-time guest drummer performances for The Killers!
King James indeed!
He is the stuff of legends!
Sure!!! King James
@@albertroy5293 King James indeed!😁
I was smiling stupidly all the way through this. Well played, sir. Best wishes from England 🇬🇧 👏
This is the outlet for this kid to become a rockstar like the Killers themselves. They just gave him a glimpse into what his future will hold by working hard at his craft and an opportunity to get his foot in the door of playing infront of 20,000 people. 13 years old?!?! Insane! I couldn’t do it I’d get such bad stage fright!
Hoping his parents support the hell out of him.
Word! I'm fairly decent in several instruments and even did a bit of chorus, but performing on stage was always a challenge for me. Did just fine in band, but I actually tried out for a solo in chorus I totally didn't think I'd get and did end up getting and choked horribly in front of the entire school and all their parents. This kid absolutely wrecked it! I don't even know the kid and I feel proud for him. What an honor to experience that even just once.
Stay safe and well everyone 🤙💜
The fact is, he seem soo confident at 100% with 20,000 people, watching him and he's only 13 years old. He played them drums 🥁 like he already part of it
Omg that was insane, the kid was so chill like he's been on stage all his life. Well done!
it was literally staged come on
I assure u it wasn’t man
It must've been like a dream. Well done. That took skill and guts. Best wishes from England 🇬🇧 👏
SO TRUE
Wtf so good like he was playing for them
At 13 he seams to be a well seasoned drummer. Would love to have seen him play another song with the band. Awesome playing, great presence and didn't miss a beat.
Thanks 😂😂
Infact he killed the first hit❤
Can you imagine that feeling for that kid? Knowing for about 8 min he got to play with one of the most famous bands on the planet?
They're not THAT famous, but they should be fr
James, keep going. You’ve got talent that the rest of us wish we had. Keep going!!!!!
Incredible and for me seeing the kid grow in confidence during the performance while killing it is wonderful to watch. Imagine at 13 in front of 20k people is just insane. His poise and control while focused on Flowers ensuring right timing is impressive. Can only imagine his nerves, but he stayed unnerved.
Was a year behind Flowers in HS in Vegas. The Killers have always displayed professionalism along with great music.
Completely fearless. Brilliant 👏
You can se Brandon genuinely happy to hear James killing it, love this!
OMG this kid KILLED it!!! James you rock dude! You were awesome! I loved your performance. You are one of the best guest drummers I've ever heard play with TK! And I've heard & watched a lot of them. Absolutely my favorite part of the show. You had me smiling from ear to ear! 😍
Me too. Smiling stupidly the whole time. Well played, James. 😊
What an amazing young man! It brought tears of joy to me seeing such a young guy being so incredibly talented!! Keep up the great work, James!! You are totally in your element!
We were there, and this was totally amazing! Thirteen! We thought it might have been a set-up, but following some YT vids, it looks like this is a 'thing'. King James indeed, so glad to finally see the full video.
Oiiii
Just amazing! Cool kid super talented! Bravo James!! 💪🏻
Can you imagine how proud his parents must be? Outstanding. 😊
Twas there, the Killers and King James were awesome!
This kid made it look easy probably he's been practicing for only this moment great bravo bravo
That was so awesome.. Nothing like giving a kid a memory forever. And he killed it.
I love it when great bands do this at their concerts. You were amazing and to top it off you've got a great surname too. Briscoe all the way!!
I wacth maybe 100 times or more...love it..
Me, too. I keep coming back. Brilliant 👏
Aww, bless him. He did absolutely incredible. I love the The Killers and I think they do fantastic when it comes to this kind of thing and really creating amazing memories for people like James. He will remember this for the rest of his life and cherish it greatly. Fantastic!!
Thanks for giving him the opportunity to play the drums 🪘👍👍👍👍
Great job James! That takes alot of skill and poise!
The drummer did an excellent job - and had fewer problems than Brandon Flowers did with his guitar. I think that is the first time I have seen an audience drummer outplay the lead singer (of course he had a technical problem with his guitar).
Wat a wonderful watch to see a young lad be given the chance to sho wat he is worth... wT an experience for him, thankyou , we give wat we have.. to gratefully receive that was beautiful
KING JAMES!!!! Great job James. Makes me proud to be an Aussie ❤
That was wonderful to watch .That kid really rocked it! He will never forget that experience. Let's hope it launches him into a successful career as a pro drummer! God bless him!
the best audience drummer i have seen so far, he absolutely owned the audience and stage with such little effort.. what a star!
I mean this guy is good but best guest drummer has to go to the dude who played with Foo Fighters in Croatia.
Brandon Flowers is a good good dude. Amazing band. And what an experience for this kid! Wow. Class act all the way around.
James you were brilliant! What dreams are made of, well done.
James's parents paid good money,I say money well spent.what a great performance,what great memories to carry for the rest of James's life.
Easily the best guest drummer. Well played, lad. 👏
Been watching these over the last couple of years when I discovered them and I have to admit this is the most paced and steady beat approach i have seen thus far, not too rushed and not too slow. Fills were nice and well placed! Well done james!
I agree. Easily the best "guest" drummer performance I have seen. Well played.
You could say.... he killed it...😳😳😳😳
I see what you did there 😂. I keep coming back to this. Fantastic performance 👏
Amazing! You could see the other band members looked a bit nervous to start with but the kid killed it. Great drumming and perfect timing.
And definitely a better choice than a Russian in Georgia 😖
That kid was incredible!!
I hope the killers stayed in touch with him, and they help him on his path to success! To handle that pressure at 13!! Wow-goosebumps!! ❤
He played well with his band - He's gonna go far, great talent for a 13 year old
Once in a lifetime moment he'll never forget bravo 👏
This kid is going places. Could be one of the best drummers ever if he does that at age 13!
The band members wer nervous at first! 😂
Then they realised you could play drums & were respectful of their music.
When you relaxed into it, so did they, And then they enjoyed jammin’ with you!😊 😊
Great job! 🥁
❤Woowww...🎉 CHILLING moment that can't image 😮AWESOME❤
Got on with the job. No grandstanding. Well done, parents!❤
I get the chills every time I watch these kinds of videos. Could you even imagine????
That was AWESOME! Truely a once in a lifetime experience. James did amazing!
Another Aussie star in the making❤️❤️❤️
Wow! The kid is good!! He’s got a great presence!
Just realized this is your channel. You did a fantastic job!
He's so relaxed, it's amazing
That must have been an experience of a lifetime to be able to get up on stage and play with a famous band.
An experience of a lifetime for any young person.. These teens show we have nothing to worry about in coming years, the talent is all around us lets foster the future!
How absolutely brilliant! 🥰🥰
Absolutely brilliant!!! All those hours spent listening and practicing paying off right there!!! 👌😎🎶
That was awesome by everyone involved. The band made him feel comfortable, James smashed it and the crowd was electric!
Your cool men! I could't help myself smiling while watching this video. Keep it up👍
Awesome . . Just awesome . . And seemed so relaxed . .
The last part was just sooo amazing!!! ❤
All bow to the King! This kid is already a star! 🤘🤘🤘
Every new band that forms after this will be clamouring after this young lad

That kid will be a millionaire soon. Wow what talent.
Great performance- what a fantastic night for this young man
Pure joy...for everyone. Fantastic.
At that age and have that confidence awesome
Absolutely fearless. Great to see. 😊
Thank god for kids like James living their hearts in music! True talent will always surface like it does in this video, it makes me hopeful for a bright future
So cool .❤. Really smashing the cymbals there James . 🥁🎸
Brendan u a fantastic guy,made that kid and everyone watching a beautiful nite.😊
Well done kid!, absolutely amazing job!
Brandon Flowers is clearly impressed by you James. You for sure were one of the best so far, amazing!!! Nailed it!
Simply Awesome! Great Drummer and a awesome stand up act from the great bank "The Killers". Hopefully they signed him onto some more tour events! he deserves a cool summer job :)
Absolutely EPIC!!! Well Done … Bruhhhhhh😊❤
Get that awesome kid a band, he’s ready to go!! So good, loved it!! 👏👍
Probably my favorite killers song, great job on drums
This is usually set up for every band that does this. But it's still awesome. And makes you feel good. Well done, James!
True a setup in that they plan to have a crowd drummer but selection was completely genuine, no 'pre screening' or anything like that.
I was thinking the same thing but it still makes great entertainment. I don’t mind if it’s setup as long it’s good.
Not set up at all, sometimes they do have a fan drummer, sometimes not, but as witnessed in Miami 2022, it can sometimes be a disaster.
@@squirrelmanning7889 I said usually. This was. And true - it doesn't always work out. A recall a guy at a Steel Panther show blowing it bad. But it's funny with that band.
@@bobboberson2024 this wasn't a setup. Trust me. Kid is my son. Learnt song, made sign, magic happened.
Did the killers plan to pick someone out? Sure. But was no setup as to who...
I’ve literally watched this like 50 times in a row. This video just makes me smile.
This is amazing. James is SO good!!!😱😱😱🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
Hello Kayleigh, how are you doing today?
Good thank you
That was totally awesome. James didn't seem nervous at all. Hell of a drummer for only 13 (I was married to a drummer for many years, so I know a good one when I see one!)
Nice work James. Wish you all the best for your future.
That’s so cool!!! Bet he was so excited! Once in a lifetime memory!!!
So glad for the kid!! Wonderful performance, sure he will have a bright future 🌟
Wow, just wow. So impressive, well done James
Congratulations. 🎊 🎉👍🏻😊.
Geht echt ans Herz. 👍👍👍❤
