Do you think he's performing by memory to a pre-recorded track, or do you think a live musician is covering him offstage?

"They never animate the drums correctly" Mr. Bean:
-
I can't believe they made a completely invisible drum set for this skit
-
The fact that he actually "played the drums" correctly just adds a lot of charm
-
As a drummer of 35 years, I can tell u ,he didn't miss a beat lol great stuff
-
The amount of work rehearsing this bit should be brutal. This is the stuff of legends.
-
I'm going to tell my kids this was the end scene of whiplash
-
The fact that he gets a laugh just by coming on stage with a broom speaks volumes about just how much of a comedic icon this man is.
-
This is insanely talented stuff. Non musicians have no idea how hard this would be to do. You need PERFECT timing.
-
I lost it when he did the insanely long spiraling rack of toms.

"Mastery of the drum is achieved when the drummer no longer needs the drum. Going beyond mastery is when the drum no longer needs the drummer." -Rowan Atkinson
-
People don't realize this but acting in such perfection when there is actually nothing in front of him is extremely difficult.
-
As a drummer. I can say rowan and the drummer behind scene are completely synchronized. They must spent lot of time to perform this masterpiece
-
having played drums live before, i really resonate with having to tap the bass pedal with your hand while rummaging around for a dropped stick. the panic is real
-
2:27 unbelievable drumstick spin ever, perfection👌
-
Really highlights his talent. Whether a live drummer covering him or a prerecorded track, the syncing is excellent
-
Always loved Rowan Atkinsons skits. A man who can make people laugh. Now.. imagine him with Jim Carey. What wreck of pure laughter.
-
J. K. Simmons sitting completely stunned in the audience.
-
Its funny bc he can actually play the drums
-
5:00 i'm sure someone will think about creating a rick roll transition
-
The effort that must've gone into memorizing and performing this in front of a live audience perfectly in one take is insane.
