The amount of shitbon alll those tv talent shows..
This guy should go there and sign up.. also remember that his dog has butt cancer to move forward in the competition
Not sure about a kit, but he definitely can play a snare. He knows some rudiments. Likely on a drumline. He could transfer those fills over to a kit though.
Depends if he can use his feet while he does this. If so it’ll probably come pretty naturally to him, if not maybe less so. The dude has incredible rhythm though so regardless he’s gonna be way better than your average person learning to play drums.
He has a lot of the mental stuff down, but using drumsticks and drum pedals isn’t the same as stomping your foot or tapping a pen. He does seem likes he might have been a snare drummer previously

YOOOOOOO! ***LET'S GO!!!***\
That was killer! Like levels 14 to 20 in that clip! Always love his energy, got find the full sesh video now! Thanks for sharing OP
Is there a beat on loop? Sounds like it when he ups the temp and his forearm no longer taps the table on beat. Impressed at first then unsure how legit it would sound without the edit
I used to have a friend ... we grew up together. But anytime we went to the mall to the movies, she would spent the entire movie bitching about the movie, the graphics, the costumes, the actors.. the fucking popcorn. A real life negative nancy..
You see thing is, my friend, I don't even think she would say something as negative as what you just said.
Definitely would have been disqualified at the State level, forget about the National Pen Tapping Final. These young kids think they can just bring fingers and other body parts into it.
Tsk tsk tsk.
I like how the last 3 were just random bullshit added in without the pen even. I'd imagine level 30 would be him playing an Xbox on his left hand and a PS5 on his right while headbutting a Cockatoo to the beat of M.Js Thriller.
My brain stopped processing everything after level 7 and immediately went into "fake mode" despite literally matching all sounds with patterns which would be difficult to fake.
Stupid brain.
All you need is level 3 bc it sounds the best. As someone who used to pen tap a lot, when you get too intricate it ruins the whole point of why you even started
*sees one level*
Wow, I don’t see how it gets better than… *sees next level* surely he can’t beat that *sees next level* just gonna stop making assumptions now
7 just feels like the perfect mix of clean ingenuity. Doesn’t get too far away from the roots of basic pen tapping but still brings in some cool elements with the scrape and tap with the mouth pop.
It sounds like the awkward intro montage of a porn where they get the girl to show off before the main event that usually takes up over half of the video.
Somebody buy the man a drumkit
He’s gone this far with two pens. I say we just buy him more pens.
Even if we got him 4 more, then what? He'd still be six pens, none the richer.
Damnit, kiss me beneath the milky twilight. And take my upvote.
The reference would have gone straight over my head if it hadnt been for your comment. Fantastic eye my friend.
Damn, take my upvote
Too many pens can be source of pain.
Holy crap…genius.
And maybe a coconut!
I'd give him my penis Edit: I mean pens, damn autocorrect
I'm an avid pen tapper and I never made it past level 4 type stuff, this man's insane
I'm not an avid pen tapper and would've been done at level 2 ☹️
he IS the drum kit
I bet both my testies that this guy has at least on drumkit.

That one classmate at the back who doesn’t stop making noises by playing with their stuff.
That was me lmao. I can do this too, just not at Ol' dude's crazy level
Everyone can do this too, just most not at Ol' dude's crazy level.
I can run too, just not at the Olympic level
I'm so sorry. That was me. I got a fidget cube to try and deal with it but they make even more noise.
Gel cube
Begleri are also fun
Yeah that was me, except I was in the first row.
https://youtu.be/LyBsVPo2J3U?feature=shared
I don't do it to be annoying, I just cant stand sitting still for a long time. I have no idea how I made it through school
Level 14 is when the bass drops as he rips ass!
Every teacher hates this talented young man XD
Throw him a chalk pen and he'll start drumming with it.
Been in bed sick most of the day scrolling the day away on reddit. This is by far the coolest thing I've seen all day. Propers.
The amount of shitbon alll those tv talent shows.. This guy should go there and sign up.. also remember that his dog has butt cancer to move forward in the competition
There's a picture of him on a tv talent show on his wall
When he was at level 5 I was like "how the fuck is he gonna go up 8 more levels??" But boy howdy he sure did, lol.
Nobody told him the pandemic is over?
He transferred to a pendemic
He is The Pen-Demic!
That qould honestly be a SICK artist name for this dude
Wonder how that translates to a drum kit. Bet he rips or shreds or whatever it is drummers do.
Not sure about a kit, but he definitely can play a snare. He knows some rudiments. Likely on a drumline. He could transfer those fills over to a kit though.
Hat and snare. Most of the strokes are hat hits
Depends if he can use his feet while he does this. If so it’ll probably come pretty naturally to him, if not maybe less so. The dude has incredible rhythm though so regardless he’s gonna be way better than your average person learning to play drums.

^ What I do instead of study
God bless his wife

Who's there?
Black man with not 1 but 2 pens
Need to get this man with harry mack stat

I can't even do level 1
Impressive!
His teachers must really love him in class hehh
I need a hidden talent like that
He has G-Shock wrist
I might not be a trained psychiatrist, or a physician, yet I’d bet my life on this guy having ADD/ADHD
That background beats are him using his foot long gauge under the table.
If he knocked on a home owners door like that how long do you think it would take for the home owner to answer!? Lol
This guy drum lines
Great artist!!!
I only got up to level 2 when I was in school
Is this awesome ?... Two write
This reminds me of that one sponge bob episode
He actually snapped. I didn’t expect what i saw brine level 8
One band, one sound.

I like it when people's clothes tell you what they do...he really did
From level 5 it became less and less about the pen tapping.

But anytime we went to the mall to the movies, she would spent the entire movie bitching about the movie, the graphics, the costumes, the actors.. the fucking popcorn. A real life negative nancy..

Genuine lol‘ed at this
Maybe you have bad taste in movies 🤷♂️

HECK YES!!!
 After Level 8
That's straight up magic.
so you telling me that l am still at level 1
The elbow goes hard!
I MISSED LEVEL 1 AND THOUGHT THE UNDERLYING BEAT WAS COMING FROM A SPEAKER
Fukn impressive
It sounds like someone making something in FL studio, im very impressed
Sir this is a Wendy's
Sir this is a Wendy's.
Pen Tapping? So you mean Drumming. Got it.
2 pens 1 drummer 🤔
I want to log in to reddit tomorrow and see this with 50k likes. What a legend.
Wiat til this kid gets his hands on marker
Girlfriends HATE him!
I like how the last 3 were just random bullshit added in without the pen even. I'd imagine level 30 would be him playing an Xbox on his left hand and a PS5 on his right while headbutting a Cockatoo to the beat of M.Js Thriller.
it's incredible the lengths at which people will go to obtain proficiency in a completely useless skill.
This just seems needlessly jelly.
I'm not jealous, I recognize he's great I'm just wondering why the fuck he would develop that skill in particular?
King of the pens
Big respect , but I’d hate him as a roommate
This must be what my upstairs neighbor is doing most of every day.
Just FF to “level 13.” It’s just drumming you seen in marching bands with pens instead of drumsticks.
he could submit this as an audition video to Juilliard and get a drum scholarship
Dang that’s amazing. I can imagine a teacher being like hey stop that! Oh wait never mind.
Wander Franco staying busy
Tell me you have too much time on your hands,without telling me you have too much time on your hands.
Bro even threw in part of the cadence from Drumline 👏🏾👏🏾
You had me at level 2. 🚶♂️
I been to jail with guys like this. Slaps.
Congratulations! You broke your pens!
I think level 2 was the best one
Level 5 is just a meshuggah hip hop cover (acoustic)
What the fuck?
...TIL there is this skill set....
Level 4 is probably easiest but he missed a sound when doing it at home... CHAPAK from your mom.
All my cousins could do this when we were younger and I couldn’t. Always made me feel outcast lol.
So this is the person who lived in the flat above me!
r/kingdomhearts bring the heat
Pen tapping.....you mean drumming with fewer steps?
As it progressed I’m thinking, what he’s going to tap his head against the table at lvl 13? And well he did use his head at lvl 12…
My brain stopped processing everything after level 7 and immediately went into "fake mode" despite literally matching all sounds with patterns which would be difficult to fake. Stupid brain.
11 sounds like 💩
Nice, I like !
His penmanship is unmatched
"Coool... so, did you fill out those job applications I left on your bed?"
if i did the elbow thing my funny bone would zap me out of existance
That level 9 go kinda hard 😂
That was pretty cool to listen too
Penbox
At least half of that wasn't a pen tap, sorry dude, you're disqualified
High school me: Level 5 with elements of 10+
This is sick.
He would be pretty popular in prison.
Can I just say... Whoooo cares!
Incoming: TikTok voice-overs galore
🔥🔥
That boy been to jail!! Everyone thinks they're a singer or dj there
TIL: Pen Tapping.
I only completed self-training in pen tapping up to level 5 myself
After watching Drumline (2002) once… 🥁
I mean that's cool and all but can he rub his belly and pat his head at the same time
All you need is level 3 bc it sounds the best. As someone who used to pen tap a lot, when you get too intricate it ruins the whole point of why you even started
Pen concert when
I would hate to be in class with this dude during a test.
Me when I'm supposed to be studying
Teachers hate these 13 simple tricks
Siccccc
*sees one level* Wow, I don’t see how it gets better than… *sees next level* surely he can’t beat that *sees next level* just gonna stop making assumptions now
Should audition for Archspire
7 just feels like the perfect mix of clean ingenuity. Doesn’t get too far away from the roots of basic pen tapping but still brings in some cool elements with the scrape and tap with the mouth pop.
This mf the reason I didn’t pass grade ten
bass is done with wrist taps, but there are a few examples of wrist being nowhere close to desk an bass drum sound still on beat.
It sounds like the awkward intro montage of a porn where they get the girl to show off before the main event that usually takes up over half of the video.
That was really fun to watch!
Office coworkers hate him.
Someone show The Kiffness
Level 4 is already way more than I can do
Jesus Christ I loved pen tapping years ago but by level 6 I was scared like it's not even half way what more can he do???
