I don't know, to me he turned it from fail into viral-internets-fail. Should have just thrown the broken one down and bashed it with the other one or something.
It wasn't even a fail. He didn't drop it. The hand piece came off, as he was still holding the strap. Even if he had picked it back up, it wouldn't have worked properly. He did the next best thing. Awesome kid.

wow this video is truly one of those that just gets better for each times you watch it, pure comedy gold. at first you notice the girl laughing and the saluting guy and then eyes go to middle kid who just takes it to another level of hilarious weirdness, my god that made my day
Dude was like a robot, analyzed situation, executed proper measures to keep the bad ass level that is a 10/10 when one is playing the symbols. Kid turned up to 11.
Kid if you’re reading this, this is the best thing you couldve done in that situation and you lightened up everybody whos watching this. Hope youre living your best life rn
Congrats kid, you handled that like a boss! Saluting the flag was exactly what you should have done. All performers have moments like this. All that matters is how you handle it.
Alex S spoken like someone who has never been on stage or performed in front of people. Keep slinging shit from the sidelines...until you have the balls to get up on stage in front of people keep your mouth shut.
Alex S well if that's true than you are even more of an ass. All performers have a moment like this...what he did was perfect. He didn't panic, and stayed a part of the performance. You are either lying, or you have very little experience being on stage. To say that kid looked like an ass is totally wrong. He was professional. Shit happens on stage. Assholes like you who jeer from the seats will never understand.
Alex S dude...are you serious? Do you know what a cymbal sounds like when you hit it like that? Garbage....its also not going to be loud enough. How old are you? It is clear you have no idea what your talking about.
Alex S that's his job you idiot. His band is playing our national anthem....show some respect. Your probably a thankless teenager who has no idea what respect and responsibility means....go back to Xbox.... you turd.
Serious Business of course you need to practice buts its not theres not just crashes for marching cymbals theres also cool visuals yiu can do that take tine to learn
I had already seen this clip well over a dozen times but then realized that this clip happened in a rival school when I was in middle school in Illinois, Eisenhower Junior High which makes the situation more funny.
What a brilliant kid. I laughed at his reaction but man was he smooth. I can watch this over and over... this kid will go far in life. Quick thinking. I cant get over it
This shouldn't be labeled as a "fail" in any way. The strap came off of the cymbal. He didn't drop it, it fell apart. Even if he had picked it back up, it wouldn't have worked properly because his hand would have dulled the vibration. You can see the pieces of it after the camera zooms out at the end. He did a great job and did the next best thing. Good on ya, kid. Well done.
That’s both hilarious and awesome at the same time! Kudos for not just standing there during life’s awkward moments. You chose to respect and honor our flag!
@@SVignette you let the meme be ruined by yourself. I don't like tiktok but how does it ruin a meme especially since I assume you don't use the app so tiktok should not affect your meme viewing.
please please please watch this again & just watch the girl playing the drums-- How she held it together as well as she did, when she was clearly losing it, is beyond me!!! I got hysterical watching her expressions! That'da totally been me
Instrument fail during a performance is one of the most stressful and terrifying things ever. Valves stick and you play the wrong note, music stand falls over, drums break, string snaps. It's so stressful.
Maureen Gunning Is he? Anyway, he looks cute and so does that little one on his left as he inched away in a cute robotic fashion, twice, from the drummer girl.
Hey, this kid is amazing for the recovery of the cymbal I had my share of mistakes on percussion instruments aswell including drum kit of course. This kid knows how to be a true American cymbal player or not. 🥰🥰❤️❤️
What an excellent and respectful boy. He did everyone proud. So he dropped a cymbal, he didnt make a fuss, he just continued with the greatest respect to his flag. Good on you mate !
As a Veteran whose eyes fill with tears whenever I hear this great song, I salute the Young MAN for his action. He did himself, his parents and his country well Honoring all. Semper Paratus...
My band teacher was a judge for this competition. He explained the whole incident in class, he said in the moment he felt bad for the kid. And he was actually his band teacher so he said a couple weeks later he looked and saw that it went viral, then the kid started to get a bunch of interviews.
He turned that fail into a win

I can confirm this as true.
Why did that comment even get likes... he clearly put his hand down at 1:47. It would only work if the video ended while he was still saluting.
vParacetamol He knows it's a joke. He fucking made that joke.

I can confirm this is true
That salute was cymbalic.
Nice
Get out
Fuck
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
The kid in the middle was so serious about his buzz roll that he barely gave a reaction.
it was the greatest comedic trio
In the video you can see when the middle kid looked at the face of the cymbal kid he nearly laughed just make a zoom at his mouth
Thats dedication
Arkulous he was tryig to not laugh
That’s the lil drummer boiii 😂😂
1:18
Still come back to this day, and I love the fact the kid in the middle almost loses his cool and laughs at this point.... Then he notices the scary bonk stick and steps one step away to preserve any more havoc.
This my favorite part of the video summed up
No he wasn’t backing away from the drummer he was attracted to the freedom salute
wow this video is truly one of those that just gets better for each times you watch it, pure comedy gold.
at first you notice the girl laughing and the saluting guy and then eyes go to middle kid who just takes it to another level of hilarious weirdness, my god that made my day
I love the kid on snares XD He glances down so quickly, and then gives zero fucks for the rest of the performance XD
Evan Francis typical snare player
Ouity yeah, because that's what you are supposed to do...
747Grant Except these are youngins, and they don't do what "you are supposed to do".
I thinks it's to stay in time
It's not that, he has his on problems to worry about like keeping his rolls ik as a fellow snare drum student
Dude was like a robot, analyzed situation, executed proper measures to keep the bad ass level that is a 10/10 when one is playing the symbols. Kid turned up to 11.
The symbols XD
Detroit: become cymbalist.
Who ever is bringing up that young man is doing an excellent job
I always randomly remember this kid and laugh my ass off. I salute you back sir!
I just saw this and I was laughing my ass off while at the store , thinking back to this video
Stfu ur probably not straight like a wet noodle fu
My cymbal may have broke!
BUT MY SPIRIT! IS INDESTRUCTIBLE!...GOD...BLESS...AMERICA!

The little drummer boy is the real hero. He kept at his role whence all around him had lost their cymbals and in some cases, their composures!
An also executed once of the most elegant side steps to the right in history to avoid being knocked out cold by the girl to his left.
This is a true man. Instead of crying he stood up and soluted his country.

This shouldn't be labeled as a "fail" in any way. The strap came off of the cymbal. He didn't drop it, it fell apart.

Lets just take a moment to appreciate the "nerves of steel" snare drummer. Never missed a beat! 👏
This is a win not a fail
The strap on the cymbal failed but he handled it like a pro and turned it into a win.
This puts a tear in my eye. A kid did this and made the biggest comeback ever! 👏🏼
The cymbal drop blended so well with the music! 😂 I really wish that I can think quick on my feet like this kid 😂

May god bless that kid because he didnt cry...
he represented america and saluted
I was so surprised to see him not even pick it up and just salute. Real American right there.
Legends say he's still giving a salute.
When in doubt salute it out!
Guys, the cymbal strap broke off, so he couldn't hold it, or else it'd slip out of his hands. so he did the right thing and respectfully saluted.
Hey, this kid is amazing for the recovery of the cymbal I had my share of mistakes on percussion instruments aswell including drum kit of course. This kid knows how to be a true American cymbal player or not. 🥰🥰❤️❤️
