Street Drummer in NYC Subway

Larry Wright is the drummer's name. Being a drummer myself, I can say these are some very good beats. Enjoy.

i must travel to the land of NYC one day and witness to their musicians who play in their grand theater that is the subway.

bottom line he's good and definatly has a job, you dont get muscles like those without putting some good food down your throat and hitting the gym often. heck maybe he works in construction, gets paid to get a work out.

"being a drummer myself, I can tell you these are some very good beats"

WTF - do you think we wouldn't notice? Can't mere mortals who are not drummers appreciate drumming?

Typical arrogant wannabe behaviour.

Hotsos, I think he is better with the enviroment he is in. He really shows his creativity with using the cement floor and the fence/wall to create different sounds.

I was interested in how he would raise the bucket with his foot to create the low beat, then put it down to keep it silent.

@paa. Actually, being a musician all my life, I've seen it ALOT where there's awesome music and people with no music ability, talent, or background don't appreciate it because of other factors or because of their own ignorance. Many people see these black street drummers as low-lifes doing anything for money and say they're just hobos (which, yes, some are).

I don't see how you think its arrogant. All I did was state the description so everyone would look past the other factors and listen to the music.

Street performers make a lot more money than they could doing regular unskilled jobs.

This guy is making a fairly decent living.

In montreal, Our street performers make a surprising amount of money and we have a fraction of the population NY has. He's probably making more money than most people on these boards.
