\u201cAs soon as we posted it, it was cool to see this one pop off quite quickly,\u201d he said, describing the experience as \u201cpriceless\u201d.<\/p>\n
The clip shows the Beat Street boys casually twirling their drumsticks before launching into a tightly choreographed routine, striking the buckets in unison at their signature breakneck pace.<\/p>\n
Even Sigma, the song\u2019s original artist, weighed in on the clip, commenting: \u201cSmashed it lads\u201d.<\/p>\n
Describing their style, Noah said the group enjoyed experimenting across genres to appeal to a multi-generational fanbase.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe like upbeat tracks that help really show off our skills on the buckets, but then we\u2019re also keen on playing chill tracks as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Lucas said the video\u2019s success came down to more than just fast rhythms, pointing instead to the group\u2019s choreography.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the speed of it is quite cool, and just us going on each other\u2019s buckets, a lot of people obviously love seeing that,\u201d he said, adding the routine was \u201cpleasing to the eye\u201d.<\/p>\n
Daniel said the group, who met through an after-school music programme, had refined their recording process over time.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce we\u2019ve decided on the song, a TikTok recording might take us about 20 minutes to record and film, including choreography,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the years, having that experience and developing as a group has really helped – there\u2019s good chemistry between us, so it flows quite nicely.\u201d<\/p>\n
The band played to its biggest live audience yet at Festival One in Kar\u0101piro, earlier this month, performing in front of thousands of \u201chyped\u201d fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was our first time as Beat Street at the festival, and the crowd reaction for some of our sets was amazing,\u201d Lucas said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo have the crowd right there and interacting with you in the moment was so cool,\u201d Elliot added.<\/p>\n
Tristan said he put the group\u2019s appeal down to being \u201cjust really good friends\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been hanging out so much, so Beat Street, it\u2019s natural for us just to hang out and play together. And doing gigs is just so much fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Noah said fans, who appear to be growing by the thousands with each release, could expect more from the group in the coming months.<\/p>\n
Their next appearance will be at the Bridge to Homegrown Festival at Claudelands Bridge in Hamilton on March 14. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cAs soon as we posted it, it was cool to see this one pop off quite quickly,\u201d he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[15442,4498,14229,16123,161589,49688,156,592,29419,11945,20557,194,700,1132,11692,111,139,69,161591,52301,161590,5424,14625,5163,416,21539,5143,102],"class_list":{"0":"post-291675","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-appearing","9":"tag-beat","10":"tag-changing","11":"tag-cover","12":"tag-drummers","13":"tag-ensemble","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-festivals","16":"tag-go","17":"tag-heights","18":"tag-hitting","19":"tag-kiwi","20":"tag-latest","21":"tag-million","22":"tag-nearly","23":"tag-new-zealand","24":"tag-newzealand","25":"tag-nz","26":"tag-percussion","27":"tag-racking","28":"tag-sensational","29":"tag-street","30":"tag-summer","31":"tag-teen","32":"tag-video","33":"tag-views","34":"tag-viral","35":"tag-with"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
