Happy 60th Birthday, Bruce, from all of us at Drumeo!

Bruce has mastered his playing technique to the point where he makes playing Chop Suey look like he is playing chill jazz. It's amazing to see just how little energy he is actually putting into his hands, but how great the kit sounds when he hits it.

The drum keys falling out of his pockets was a great idea!

I just turned 50 and I was contemplating about putting away the drums thinking I'm too old to do it but...I just saw this video and maybe it's not too late to give it one last fling! Awesome job btw! Thank you for the inspiration!

[marcoapdias]

I love the concept that playing the drums should be like a dance, not a fight. This video is the perfect example of that. Graceful performance of a heavy song.

[therealmalady]

I always enjoy the expressions on older musicians' faces. They speak of heart and soul, and dedication, both emotional and physical, and it's beautiful honestly!

[RandyHanley]

You can see that his technique is perfect. Stick just floats in his hand.

[MrBrandongoodwin]

Woowoowoo!!! Happiest of birthdays to you Bruce! I hope I can rock like you at 60!

[Delrada]

Happy 60th Bruce. Remember, that's just 15 bars of 4!

[Rikirk]

[rexgogobebe]

[eishercherigo]

Watching veterans like Bruce being so open minded is just pure gold.

I have always been blown away by their drummer from day 1. Amazing cover

[rhythmantic]

Happy blessed birthday Bruce. You're still a young man!
Tight cover and fabulous solid sound.

[hbsupermage]

[PeervanEmpelen]

It's people like Bruce that made me pick up a new bass and start to learn something new at 43.
I'm realistic in knowing i will never reach that level of mastery, but i'm gonna give it my all!

[AdrienMD]

I just discovered that Mike Ehrmantraut plays drums and the best is that he likes System of A Down !

[rasaecnai]

0:48 his face is amazing! It's like, "Here we go!"

[markvalente]

He makes it look effortless and easy. Outstanding job, sir.
