#Drumeo #ToshPeterson #DeepPurple
This dude is literally Animal in human form
And Animal was the muppet personification of Bonham. Tosh is bringing big Bonham energy.
THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY!!!
He is Donnie from the Thornberrys all grown up
Animal 🎉My thought exactly 😱👍
First thing I thought. Unreal.
It's like he plays on the edge of chaos the whole time but never falls in. I freaking loved that.
neat way of saying it and I agree with you 100% !! These videos are why i love coming back to see everyone's style and personality behind that.
Well said, Great!
This is the best description of his playing!
You hit the nail on the head. It was so frikkin captivating, I couldn’t stop watching. Also felt like I was watching a genius at work.
My son is 4, and been watching him on repeat for a few days. I’m loving it. Best description.
I'll say it again, this is THE BEST MUSICAL SERIES ON THE INTERNET! Never stop making these. I find new artists, I find drummers to support, I find new bands to listen to. This Is what we never knew we needed. I'd love 2 or 3 of these a week!
I was thinking the same and got sad at the thought of them not having any drummers left to invite on 😂
For more like this, there's a great channel called Blind Covers that gives a band just the lyrics to a song they don't know, and 1 hour to write and record a cover of it. Different vibe cause the music's all new, not just the drum part, but always fun to see the different directions bands go in. They've been on hiatus for a few years but if people watch their older stuff, I hope they'll record more.
totally agree, I could watch these forever.
by far
Yes I agree. It is the perfect combination of enjoyment and music content. Im not even a drummer. I do music but this stuff makes me wanna become a drummer. I discovered this format yesterday and Im binging all old videos of this format now haha. It is perfection.
What an incredible player. I had no idea who he was but man, he absolutely crushed this, and the energy is perfect for the era.
your comment was high up for me so im piggybacking to say the 350 people that disliked this did it by accident cause they rocked out so hard
Had zero idea who Tosh was before this. Now I am a massive fan. Drumeo bringing music to the masses again
MASSES ??? 👀👀👀 salute comrade
same here, new name for me, what an amazing drummer indeed
Same here!
Dude was born on the wrong decade, he got those psychedelic chops.
same, just started to follow him, great drummer
His energy while playing is just something else
I like to see him work on some dynamics, you cant play everything at 10.
And he’s so soft spoken lol.
No
I had to make sure the video wasn't speed up haahhha
If time machines were real, I'd love to see a drum-off between Tosh and Keith Moon. The energy of those dudes would be so epic together ❤
One of the best drumeo performances yet. Hands down
Absolutely. This guy is an animal - his technique is primal. I got that same energy seeing Chad on his episode, that there is an energy inside both of them that can only be expressed through percussion.
Insanely impressive fill at 5:49. Good god he's a solid drummer! Love his enthisuasm for the whole thing. I wanna pay attention to this dude's career!
Tosh Peterson is the human embodiment of Animal from the muppets. Keep crushing it dude! Amazing job!!!
That be Bill Ward from Black Sabbath . For real check him out.
Isn't Animal supposed to be based on Keith Moon? So that's some accolade 🤘🏻
No its Tommy Aldridge
Kinda travis barker and also Dave grohl
@@familyengineering5591 He looks like Bill Ward ! Watch Sabbath at the California Jam .
This guy did one of the best jobs I have seen any drummer do on this channel
Disagree totally
By far the best it's almost as if this is the actual version. Majority just seem winged
The legend Morgan Ågren would be a great guest to invite and play this game. He's super versatile and has a really creative and unique approach to music. Tons of "feel". @MORGANAGRENmusic. kzhead.info/sun/oaqiYpiven2og40/bejne.html
I dunno, the feel is too different, as someone who heard this track like a million times, I can't get over this difference
@albertdavila6808 I agree with you. The keyboards have a beautiful percussion feel and that should of been his first clue. Why play a pounding "80s" type beat, when the music is swinging/moving??? I don't get it. Anyway, his fills were mostly great and double kick parts were obviously fine. And it's almost absired that he can't figure out who the band is just by hearing the voice and keyboards. I know it's not Purples most popular track, but still should be able to figure out who it is. But such is life
He picked up the song so freaking fast, including the hits. At the beginning, seeing his kit setup, it felt like he had things spaced so far apart, but then once he started playing it made all the sense in the world. What a wild energetic flailing style of playing, and yet it never fully leaves the feeling of control. Pretty sick awesome and unique drumming style!
he also has pretty long arms and legs, a tighter kit would just get him all tangled up
He’s a really energetic drummer who plays like he’s a wild bear released from an exterior of a teddy bear. He’s insanely talented. Going to keep my eye out for him.
That final take was mind blowing 🤯
I love this dude's mentality and energy! A drummer to inspire not only the new gen of drummers but also the older ones!
what ?this drummer inspired you?what?
Exactly what I was thinking!
True that. Nicely put.. Utilizes the whole spectrum of the kit. Bravo nice job.
This kid was BORN to play in a punk band! Amazing chops, energy and execution. Just another masterpiece by Drumeo and kudos to Tosh for an incredible performance.
I would bet money he grew up on the Travis Barker, Pop-punk school of drumming. But as a punk and a drummer at about the same age, and someone who's dealt with chronic pain (and now a very recent back surgery from scoliosis that I most definitely inherited), I almost wish I just picked a different instrument that wasn't so physical. I know you don't need to move like that to play well, but it's intimidating when you see people who can just keep going like that every day.
For real. His energy is amazing
@scottwrathfon9872 ...Travis is trash, this guy is awesome! Drummer myself!
And yet all the artists he's played with are the drizzling shits haha. He's probably the only talent on the stage when he plays with them
Bro took “hi” hat too literally lol that thing is damn near at his head haha I love it
Bro.. that was literally the first thing I saw 😂😂
Classic song from absolute giant of a band, and this kid comes in and lays down the hurt. Loved this one, best episode of this series so far in my opinion. Loved his version.
I love watching people discover Deep Purple for the first time. It's amazing how energetic and vital Paicey's parts still sound after 50 years. I really like what this guy does with them, too.
Ian Paice is an undisputed legend and his swing feel is absolute killer. I hope he comes to Drumeo one day!
I never listened to them before. Now I put them on my list!
Paice is simply a category himself. Had been interesting to use You fool no one.
I do not know how people that call themselves rockers don't know Ian Paice.
@@coppersnare wow that would be beyond awesome!!
I can see why he gets work, his energy is just infectious. Just a joy to watch this one.
Yes, it looks funny, but listening to it is a complete mess.
I'm a big Deep Purple fan and this guy is great for the first time hearing it. Rock on.
I saw Tosh drumming for Filter the other night in Brisbane and was super impressed. He just looked like he was having so much fun!
Really loved the different feel he gave to Filter's songs during that Brisbane set. Quality drumming and a great gig.
Chad Smiths “The Kill” video is what got me to buy a drum set and Larnell Lewis playing “Enter Sandman” is what made me learn how to play that song first. I love this channel!
Enter the sandman lmao
@@MitsubishiLancerEvo Yeah, he typed a title wrong, now his whole effort is worthless... get lost.
@@DagarCoHCalm down sensitive. He’s just laughing at the typo not his entire post.
Right on, man!
@@MitsubishiLancerEvo fixed it
Had no clue who this kid was but some serious chops and an insane ability to chart a tune in his brain. Mostly though it looks like he’s having the time of his life playing drums, which is the most important thing.
Great comment you said what I was gonna say. I'm an old dude drummer but the fluidity of the kids nowadays YIKES
Josh Eppard is one of the good ones, my dude!
How does this series keep getting better?! This is amazing. Thank you, Drumeo.
I'm not a drummer, but these are so amazing and fun to watch. I'm a huge fan of this series.
5:52 Proud dad moment
so cute :)
When I saw that he didn't know Deep Purple, I thought, "Man, who doesn't know Deep Purple?" When he played, I thought, "I'm glad he didn't know them. He gave it a new sound just as good as the original!" Congratulations!
Yeah, his track was a great fit (with allowances for the fact that it was only a second take of an unfamiliar song with no chart!$
I was like you.... slightly disappointed about it, but, I changed my mind after I heard his approach ... I feel he delivered better than the original, full of energy, and he needs to listen more to those bands, I will say to his dad... time to bring old vinyl for him to listen
Yes, he played great. It's a shame that the other three don't make it into his drum line.
No one under 40 knows who deep purple is dude
@@wtls000hey, I’m only 39
It's mesmerizing to see someone who is extremely talented at what they do doing what they love.
Both variations sounded great! He played the heck outta’ both. It’s refreshing to watch DRUMEO do this. I love watching the GenZ play music I used to listen to.
Talented, humble, loves his dad- loved every second of this.
I used to play in church band with Tosh some years ago, glad he’s doing well.
That guy in a church band? Must have been different kind of experience all together :D
I see they decided to leave the demon in him alone and not exorcise it
I'm guessing the church band was much more mellow...
I'm surprised about the fact that he dares to put his feet in a church. That buddy has fire running in his veins
Y’all have never played in church bands much 😅. This totally tracks with some of the people I’ve played with over the years.
I have watched this at least 10 times, something about his sound mixed with that old groove is mesmerizing
I love this guys drumming and attitude. Humble, but meanwhile killing it in drums. These kind of videos show how much the drummer has an influence on a song. Keep it up Drumeo ❤
This might be the best of the series. His energy is insane
agree, this was pretty amazing very quickly into the episode - 1st take, wow
chad smith definitely the best one
I grew up watching his dad "Stoner" who played in a local band, Standing Hawthorne who all went to my high school in Orange County. Their guitar play most recently toured with Keifer Sutherlands band. So cool to see his son kill it.
from intro to outro this guy is a legend
This just makes me Happy! What a great watch/listen
Not gonna lie, when I heard who he drummed with/for I sort of wrote him off, but holly nuts, he threw down! I’m sold! That was 10/10.
Sa,e here. God malt,of those bands are terrible. Lol. But he is awesome.
Can't blame a drummer for getting work where it's available and where it pays
@@kalebgates7711 not my fave artists but im sure he gets PAID
This kid is insane! Such tight playing with no hesitation even on a completely new song.
he isn't at all tight, he is sloppy as fuck
Dude gave the song new life...absolutely brilliant!
been binging drumeo for about an hour now, been the best hour ive spent all week
Technical and feel, and a total showman. No wonder he gets the touring gigs with such big artists! Awesome display of loving what you do
Gotta be honest...never heard of Tosh Peterson (or many of the artists he's played with), and I'm not much of a Deep Purple fan, but this video is amazing. This is a cool track, and Tosh approaches it with incredible energy. Kudos to Drumeo! These videos are so much fun to watch.
I remember playing a show with this guy about 4 years ago in a backyard in Brea, CA. He was in a ska band and it was obvious he had a special talent. Stay on the up Tosh
Ska drummers are some technically focused players. Travis barker, a former aquabat, is the best member in blink and I dislike their music.
@@alejandroramirez4470 I love blink but I totally agree. Apparently Ska is the best musical base haha
Holy crap. Never heard of this dude and he is absolutely brilliant. Insane energy and feel. 🤯
This series of videos is one of the best things on KZhead
This was so inspiring to watch. I’m not a musician-just a fan-but it’s clear we’re seeing an incredible talent here. Not only is his musicality on point, but he brings so much energy and flare to his performance. I’m not surprised that he stays booked and busy! For all the rockists in here demeaning the work he does for hip hop artists-the best musicians of all time ALWAYS have a deep love and respect for a range of genres. It’s telling that all of the great drummers featured on this channel have a wide range of influences from Motown to funk to disco. The people complaining in the comments are demonstrating exactly why they’ll never understand what makes great music and great musicians-you can’t truly appreciate music without appreciating what makes good music regardless of genre.
I mean you can tell he's listened to some music from that era. Ginger Baker for sure. Like you could have told me that was Ginger playing that and I'd have believed it, or not doubted too much.
Well said
Limiting your genre appreciation is one of the best ways to limit your potential as an artist. It's important to keep an open mind so you can learn new techniques and innovations that you can then employ in your own craft.
Se pudo acoplar muy bien al tema sin haberlo escuchado antes !! 😮 , con ese doble bombo le dio un toque singular !! Excelente @tosh !!!
He's amazing. Love his energy so much.
the energy this guy has is insane. its just free flowing.
Show more of the drummer's reaction to the original recordings please.
Sure
I would love to just be chillin on the couch watching this go down. For any of these drummers. This whole concept is pure gold with endless possibilities. Much love everyone
I don't play drums much anymore, but I love this series. These pros earn every cent they make. The best of them have such a winning combo of enthusiasm, goofiness and professionalism.
My wife and I saw Tosh at our first FOB concert in Virginia Beach last year. Although we were bummed that Andy couldn’t make it, Tosh brought an infectious energy that made us glad we were there that night. So fun to follow him now. So talented and entertaining!
Tosh a beast. He has his dad with him with this kind of gig that made me have a teary eyes. Love it !
THANK YOU DRUMEO. REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. IT MOTIVATES ME BIG TIME
The energy behind the kit is amazing ❤ 🔥
This is the best one I’ve seen yet, incredible job. The lead in solo to finding the beat perfectly had my jaw on the floor, and on the FIRST take! Crazy good
He was great, but one thing I've noticed from a lot of drummers is they go hard out all the time. What made Iain Paice so amazing as a drummer was he knew when to go crazy on a fill, but also when to keep things minimal. And he made it look easy all the time.
It really clicked for me on the Liberty DeVitto episode when he said the drummer for the Deftones was playing for the recording, and not really doing the live performance drummer thing and showing off. In the studio with the other musicians and a producer you’ll get more dynamics and blending. And more rest notes 😂
This drummer made me shed a tear of joy for the first time in this whole series. What a great performance ❤
Geez Tosh is an absolute beast. Please bring this guy back and make more content What an addictive drumming style to watch 🤟🏻
Holy dang, Tosh is one hell of a beast! One of my favorite performances from this series so far!
I'm not a drummer like many others here but for one thing I'm grateful that when watching these videos I have great pleasure for meeting these crazy talented guys. Before drumeo there were only vocalists and guitarists. Now I know some of the most skilled drummers in the world. For me it's kind of fascinating new world. Don't stop making these videos.
Please never stop making videos like this! Best thing on YT! I love hearing other people's takes on songs they never heard of!
I love this series on drumeo.. I keep coming back to this performance! Tosh killed this!
Man, this was so awesome! What a dad and son moment too. How proud you must be dude, absolutely nailed that, made it his own and made it sound like the original. Superb man, awesome job 🙌🏻
What an amazing talent. I've got a new drum inspiration to start following. I've heard a lot of Tosh's work without realizing it. Unbelievably accurate, nails the feel of each moment of a song and of course has breathtaking skill to nail it all in time with a ton of technical flair.
It's cool to hear how different people interpret a song.
Wow..Tosh..watching you play that song..fix..u're now my favourite drummer🎉
I was lucky enough to meet Ian, Ian & Roger in 2007, when my buddy opened for Deep Purple. Ian is a Phenomenal Drummer! Tosh did an excellent job with this!👍
One of the best Drumeo’s ever. And I’ve never even heard of this kid. Awesome job!!
This guy rips holyyyyy Never heard of him until this vid. Thanks again guys
Wow what a LEGEND! Possibly my favourite video from Drumeo. Big fan now.
Ok. After hearing the ppl he's played with and then him going absolutely nuts. Bravo 🤘
BEAST. I've been following the "fist time" series and OMG this dude KILL IT in his first attempt without hesitation. By far one of the best of the series.
I can never get over how good Tosh is. I've been playing drums for a whole 15 months. Doing what he did here seems literally impossible to me. Fantastic, fantastic job, Tosh!
I absolutely love his drumming on this song.
What an insane player! One of the better Drumeo videos, he nailed that!
That double kick at the end is fire
I'm super impressed. So clean and the runs were flawless! def gonna share this.
Just discovered Drumeo, love these first time videos, great concept. The ones I've heard have nailed it.
Serious question for actual drum people, complete layman here.... is this dude widely regarded as one of the best in his generation if not ever? This was this most smooth and effortless "First Time" video I've ever seen. He not only absolutely killed it but he really fit the voice of the song if that makes sense, it felt so authentic. Definitely about to dive down a rabbit hole.
Nope. Most people don't know who he is. But he absolutely rocked this.
Well, I am not the biggest Purple fan (but I respect their importance and legacy) and I had no idea who Tosh Peterson is before this video, but Drumeo content so let's see it and hoho boi :) This Young Man has pure energy and passion, the intro, the half-times and the bridge, all epic and made me comeback to this video many times :) Thanks Drumeo for introducing amazing drummers to the World and thanks for Tosh for his amazing take on this song :)
whoa what energy that young man puts into his playing! i was grinning through the whole thing watching and listennig to him.. great stuff :-)
Love the energy. Like a mad scientist of drums. 🤯
To everyone comlaining that he's "too generic" "he has no substance" "he only played for no ones", "he can't be a drummer and never have heard of Deep Purple" you're all just fucking boomers. This guy killed it, he has a lot more skill than a lot of famous drummers, not everyone has to hear a set of bands to be a great musician. And if you think that his performance is generic, you're just stuck in the nostalgia circle jerk of thinking that everyone in the past was better and the new things are bad. Learn to enjoy life and have some fun and try to appreciate the things of the present instead of only revolving in the past before you go to sleep on a box. Life's too short to be so bitter about everything except what your parents showed you when you were little
Had never seen this summer before but glad I see now. Awesome!
Love and respekt from Denmark tosh. Awesome take on deep purpke. Love it . Rock on brother
I love Drumeo. Been hooked on this videos since I found you guys last year. This one with Tosh, holy sh_t! Best one yet!
Amazing set! I'm also happy to find new songs from this series to play more often: killer track
I’d never heard of Tosh, but instantly this is probably my favourite of these sessions. This dude is a fucking beast. Those rolls are so god damn smooth!
This is my absolute fave video in this series!! This is EPIC!!
I LOVE this guys energy. What a massive inspiration wowowow
that was actually pretty amazing. one of my favorite vids on this channel.
DUDE..this is the best one ive seen yet.. amazing!
That first take was amazing! I would listen to that version for sure
This dude is insane. Love the style, good stuff!
Such a natural!!! Absolutely mind-blowing!!! You are un-matched Tosh!!!
Daaaamn! Everything was new but so easy to the ears. I didn't know what he did but everything was accurate down to the smallest detail. Amazing memory. One of the best here in drumeo series. Maybe even better than my personal favorite megadeth drumming mr brightside.
Wow I think he’s my favorite drummer I’ve seen on this show and that says a lot because they’re all great
This guy brings it. Entertaining. Amazing player
