Fred Armisen Recreates Drumming Styles of Different Age Groups | The Tonight Show

That drumkit looks and sounds beautiful.

He's a leftoid nutjob, but he can play the shit out of the drums.

.... 80's 90's .... turns off hearing aide because it's "too loud"😂

That 50s groove sounds a lott like 50 ways to leave your lover.

I took a similar trajectory, then I hit my 40s and started making retrowave with drum machines… now I don’t even have drums cause I live in the city, and I miss drums every damn day… I love synthesizers a lot, but it’s hard to beat the immediacy and reliance on different techniques that are key to playing the drums. The way a perfect pair of sticks (SD4 Combo) feels in the hand during a perfect double stroke roll is impossible to explain. It just feels like home.

Wait, what? Fred Armisen is in his fifties!?!

Reminds me of that Portlandia episode when Fred had NO idea how old he was😂😂

There is NO
ONE
FUNNIER
ALIVE❤😂
FRED!!!!!!

Fred Armisen is a genius

He did this bit for questlove for sure

Hes in his 50's??? Hes balding too!! Time goes by so fast!!! :( Hes so funny. Im obsessed with him!!

It was fun seeing all The Roots digging his 40s beat

OMG he play drum so good!!!

so this was comedy?

Fred is awesome 😎

Fred's drums sound amazing!

What a versatile talented human being.

This is why actual drummers love and respect Ringo Starr, and folks who know nothing about drumming (and music in general) make fun of him.

Fred's amusement (and truth) aside, What the hell is that on Jimmy's face? OMG!

This guy is hilarious and he doesn’t appear to give a fk.

Only thing that would make this better is not cutting to Fallon fake laughing.

Uncle of Wednesday!

If Fred is a guest, I watch! His guitar style explanation was awesome too!

So true the older you get the less noise you want to hear. 😂😂😂

Fred for Buddy Rich biopic would be baller

He's a treasure.

Fred, very nice

Bro Fred is SO F**KING TALENTED

Fred armisen is a little kitten when it comes to drums......

He needs to shave his head.

i’m here from Carvey and Spades podcast, fly on the wall. great show all about s.n.l. cast members. Fred’s episode was amazing!

Wow, comedy is lost in the new generation. This is horribly sad. Fallon is a joke and Fred brings him down two notches.

Fred he is a really good drummer And He is a really good guy

I don’t know why his 50’s made me laugh so hard!

God ppl from Portland suck

The older Fred gets the more he looks like Tom Hanks' twin brother 🤣

Drum humor is best humor.

Fred Armisen should just start a punk band dude 😂😂😂

"And now, in my 50s, I still spend 99% of my time trying to bang girls in their early 20s"

And then there's Brooke Collucci and she's a better drummer than Fred could ever hope to be.

Uncle Fester

🔥🔥🔥

what i love abt fred he doesn't really intend to do a comedy set, he just wanna have a conversation lol

I've been playing my whole life (recently turned 60). Still drumming as furious as ever but I'm more aware of the possibility of a heart attack now. At least that's ONE of the best ways to get one. ;-) This clip is soooooo true for most of us drummers. I had the good fortune of starting out listening to my dad's old jazz records, then I branched out into everything else out there.

Poor freds hair. 😢

The audience seeing questloves reaction lets them know its legit and time to clap 👌🏻

I lost it when he plays the bag, it's so accurate, but I like it though. He forgot the other instagram drummer type "the show-off"
