Joseph Gordon-Levitt Takes Over the Drums

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Late Late Show drummer Guillermo Brown switch seats for a part of the show and Joseph shows off the drummer skills he taught himself.

Watch The Late Late Show with James Corden weeknights at 12:35 AM ET/11:35 PM CT. Only on CBS.

I love how the band leader asks the drummer if its ok to play his drums. Drummers are really strict about letting people sit behind their drums and that was really respectfull.

[glanemann]

He beat those drums like they owed him money.

I just watched Joseph Gordon Levitt turn into a muppet on the drums

When that one friend comes over and wants to "play" your drums

[existentialismtyrant]

I had a friend that came over and played just like him. We are no longer friends

[pooledogg]

James: You taught yourself drums, is that correct?

Joseph: Not really. I taught myself cymbals.

It's nice seeing a talk show that doesn't script EVERYTHING. This is starting to become my favorite

Sweet Jesus, that was the most stress I ever felt watching someone play drums.

[plummetplum]

Drummer smiling through gritted teeth as he smashes cracks into his pro quality cymbals.

[awhochen]

I'm no pro but I can feel the pain of those cymbals.

[leivabernie]

If he did that to my cymbals.... Boy you better run.

[josephsena]

Those cymbals are gonna be part of the "me too" movement after that assault.

[Chewwy]

The facial expressions on the drummer when JGL is man-handling his kit just reads "Damn I'm going to need a whole set of new skins when he's finished...better check for cracks in the cymbals whilst I'm at it"

[coosoorlog]

Guillermo's film is called Whiplash 2

[gwichindrummer]

He didn't play 100%, but he sure as hell gave it 100%...Props to Joseph Gordon-Levitt and any other musician who does the same

[luckysharmsy]

James is just so cool. I love how he interacts with the guests, just a fun chill environment

[dosdrummer]

As a drummer myself and from drummers I know, it's pretty common to be self taught.

[EraVulgarity]

I love watching the bassist just laugh trying to follow along. While he’s hammin’ it up back there, she’s low key shredding.

[adrianscreaming]

isn't he playing guitar and lead singer on trivium

[WitUrMum]

lmao as a drummer to see someone hit cymbals that wild/hard pains my wallet.
