behind the scenes with rick allen!

~~~ Please Read!!!!! ~~~ I’ve noticed some argument’s going on about Rick’s drumming. The sounds are triggered when he hits the pedal’s, so he is playing himself. It’s not like he’s pretending to play. It’s him of course. Please can we stop this agrument and get back to enjoying one of the best drummer’s in the world! =D To Quote RASPUTINREDRUMS123′s comment — It is always awesome skill to naturally blend prerecorded sound and own drum performance and it is also a very hard task. Rick Allen is perfecting this Art every day and successfully. R’N'R FOREVER, RICK! :)

  1. 3:33 is so human

  2. really a strong guy !!

  3. he’s awesome!!

  4. wow thats pretty impressive

  5. @pcmbdl01 ofc i am opposite to the negative comments…but you think that money and fame is what really matters???in this story the thing that matters is the courage and the strength of Rick…and the narrow-minded opinions of those who say bullshits…not the money and fame

  6. How could anyone say or think Rick is not drumming? Obviuosly, if you watch this video it’s easy to see he is drumming!
    This man over-came what would have been a horrible, career ending injury for most people. Yet, he had the talent, the drive, the support, and of couse the rythm to rise to the top!
    He is the THUNDER GOD……Rock On!

  7. Rick Allen is amazing, keep up the good work Rick Allen you’re amazing how you have pulled through is just amazing.

  8. @pcmbdl01 not that i dont like rick allen cuz i do but they made a lot of songs that made him rich and famous before his accident just sayin

  9. o fuck dude sweet

  10. I think he’s is one of the worlds best just because he plays with one freaking arm. It’s not like just basically getting the habit of leg independence, but it would feel so unbalanced playing with one arm.

  11. Fucking incredible, Rick puts out some of the most amazing drum beats ive heard.

  12. GREAT!!!

  13. Of course Rick Allen plays all the drums himself!
    He has acoustic drums and a bank of pedals which do the same “triggered” drums as his hand can hit!
    Go to the Def Leppard site to see the photographs!

  14. @chrijens HAHAHHAHAH LOL!!!! :D :D :D :D !!!!!!!

  15. @rbilleaud! Annoying pot smell? LOL!

  16. I bet he saves a ton on drumsticks, they last twice as long!

  17. Fuck You Asshole, I Want To See You Drum With One ARm, At Least He Still Can Drum.

  18. I don’t know much about Rick Allen or his drumming.
    I’m just curious, does he compensate for rudiments with one hand?
    I mean, can he do the one-handed roll or anything like that?

    That’s pretty cool how he plays though, good for him.

  19. He play drums like a broken arm!

  20. thats having iron balls

  21. the song rick is playing at 2:10 is Rocket !

  22. i love Rick. hes absolutely brilliant! i think he has an oppurtunity that people with both arms dont– he plays with all of his limbs, allowing him to feel what he’s playing more. its probably a very nice feeling being able to make music with your whole body :)

  23. To all the people who make negative comments about Rick. Who has more money and fame? You or Rick? End of story!

  24. I think he is pretty cool. He really got my respect for keep on drumming with one arm!

  25. Yeah the incense is good for getting in the zone … oh and also for covering up that annoying marajuana smell.
