Its a bit late for this children in need but here's something for Christmas, a children in need Christmas drumming special, Owain and all you other drummers try to re create the greatest drum solo ever. The late legendary NEIL PEART'S solo live in Frankfurt. Neil peart was known as the professor, he studied drumming from all around the world ,in his solo you had everything from afro Caribbean to old school jazz and swing. 8 minute's of drumming masterclass, ask the other drummers about Neil peart, ask Dave Grohl he's a big fan of Neil, Neil wasn't just the greatest drummer, Neil was one of the greatest lyricists, Neil passed away from brain cancer January 2020 aged67, all the Rush fans and drummers around the world miss Neil peart loads. Try to get everyone together to do this for a children in need Christmas special.

You looked like you had the most amazing time,it was a joy to watch,not a single face without a huge smile on it. I had the iPlayer in the whole run and donated right at the start as I knew it was going to be awesome and it’s now over 3mill. Everyone involved should be soooo proud….good job😃

This was over 10 hours in to his drumathon, the energy he gives this piece is amazing and his smile at the end said it all. Well done Owain.
0:42 "here we go!" You can feel the surge of energy, my goosebumps appear, eyes fill we tears of joy and a massive smile across my face. Thank you for sharing this amazing moment, you've made a 60 year old misery guts very happy.

Yep 100% - right at that moment you feel it. Goosebumps every time! And to think there are some people out there who don't "get it", that passion for rhythm, that don't hear *and* feel it music, sound, etc. Genuinely couldn't imagine life without it.
It was a real honour and pleasure to play live with so many incredible drummers and meet so many incredible people. I'm never going to forget it! Still bouncing about it now!

@@Daveinnorfolk A fair question. All of those kits are live kits. We were required beforehand to confirm we were either bringing ear protection, or were happy to be supplied with them. You'll see everyone's wearing some form of headphones and I was wearing in-ear protection underneath them too. I did take my headphones off, once, and you're right. It was crazy loud!

Honestly this whole drumathon was just so wholesome, had it on in the background while I was working. The news intro is absolutely iconic, huge applause for everyone involved!
Owain my man you rock and well done in the studio for keeping time and the others dotted around various regions playing drums or bass guitar even our own Abbie from the Yorkshire region using her initiative, it seems we have some rock star musicians in weatherland all hail the rock gods and goddesses
From Keith Jones drummer Bude Cornwall. Well done Owain with your drumming skills and drum team and all that money you raised. God Bless you. At 70 and a retired drummer from the music business, went on my kit for 6 minutes, afterwards needed 2 doctors, a sponge wash a stretcher had to be lifted off my drum stool, my false teeth fell out, the doctors said my eye twitching should stop by the end of the year!!!!!!!! So all I can say is Well Done you are a good lad (K.J.)
Can't stop watching and listening to this!
Love this!! Can't srtop smiling when i watch the replay - and goose bumps when i heard it live. Well done everyone!
I hope they release this as a single it gave me goosebumps
Just seen this! Proper lump in my throat…..Bloody Amazing 🤩
My 4 year old adores this music, and listens to it every morning.. this has totally blown him away! Just fantastic ❤️
Superb.......absolutely loved the energy of the girl with yellow glasses!
This is what humanity can achieve when united!
I could watch this all day long. So joyous and uplifting and such amazing drumming. Just wonderful!
Best drumming I have ever seen. I've never seen so many drumming in one place and so in sync with each other. It was amazing.
In these times of uncertainty this has to be the best uplifting moment in the last 2 years simply fantastic well done all.👏👏😀
I get goose bumps every time i watch this , so amazing , all the drummers are smiling awesome.
I don't know how many times I've watched and rematch this..countless times.. and it moves me to tears every time.. God bless every single person who took part.. and every person who contributed to the Amazing total raised.
That continues to make me cry every time xxx amazing well done xx
Well done Owain. You are a national hero. So many children now in the UK who are living in poverty. Your efforts will help them.
Just brilliant...sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it and the joy on the faces of all those playing. Truly magical.
Every single person had a smile on their face! ❤️ The pleasure this has brought to so many people who put their hands in their pockets and gave a donation to Children in Need is beyond words. A remarkable piece of TV Owain and Mark should be so proud of. I so want this as my ringtone ❤️🥁❤️
Amazing! Made me cry. I think that music has been such an important part of life recently informing us of changes. Just to see people in a room enjoying themselves again is amazing. Well done! Xx
Fantastic Owain for raising so much money ... this was a brilliant piece ... everyone was brilliant. loved it.
All amazing musicians! I don’t think the BBC can replace this piece of years. So iconic and brings me home wherever I am in the world.
How many times have I watched this? Love those BIG BEATS! Well done Owain, and everyone... incredibly stirring! 🥁 🎼🥁🥰🥁👏
Owain, I never tire of listening to this :-)
Owain is Amazing and should have his own show.. Such a big heart he has ♥️🌻
1:35 - listen hard and you can here ten pips (for the 10 O'clock News) which play up until just before the last crash. They're a bit drowned out by rest of the racket. Great fun.
WOW WOW WOW This is one of the most incredibly emotive pieces of music I have ever heard. It vibrated through my body and soul. To have been in the room must have been out ot this world. The energy from such a tribal instrument coupled with each and ever drummers remarkable ability to play with such joy sends shivers and goosebumps everytime I rewatch it. Listening live it moved me to tears of joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is so amazing! Over £3m raised at the time of writing this. Well done everyone 🥁
This was the best it was sooooo cool I need to give all the drummers one million present super amazing .It was just OUTSTANDING!
What a spectacle to watch !! We the public would love the chance to witness this amazing performance LIVE. Can we have a Mini Drumathon Tour just to be there to experience this unbelievably uplifting wonder.
I LOVE the sheer joy on their faces. Brilliant Owain
I don't know what it is, but, there is just something about drumming that sends a shiver down my spine.
Incredible drumming, I'm hooked!
Absolutely stunning what an achievement and the most amazing end thank you Owain
