CAN | Jaki Liebezeit drumming style 

CobbTV is proud to present the most requested drumming style video for this channel, Jaki Liebezeit from Can. Thanks for watching 🤘 [00:00] Intro [01:05] Background [01:50] One More Night [02:33] Halleluwah [03:08] Soup [03:49] Cascade Waltz [04:26] Vitamin C [05:38] Paperhouse [06:53] Vernal Equinox [07:20] Outro

The thing I always loved about Jaki's drumming is that it's tight but never sounds robotic.

Klaus dinger from NEU! is another kraut drummer I highly rate, extremely tight.

Watching this made me realize how much Thee Oh Sees' drums are influenced by Can

I only got to see Jaki Leibezeit play once. Genius.

Jaki was a huge influence on another drummer you should feature in your personal style series: John Maher of the Buzzcocks. The secret weapon who could make tricky time signatures, motorik bears, and punk thrash groove so seamlessly. One of the most under appreciated greats

Amazing! The only person on youtube who actually shows how you play Halleluwah.

Jaki is my all time favorite drummer, and this video is killer. Thanks!

Thanks for doing this feature on my favourite drummer, Cobb. I feel that he doesn't get enough recognition. Also happy that you used my original request comment at the start of the video!🙂

YES!! Love your channel, Jaki is one of the greatest ever. RIP

I only recently discovered CAN a year or so ago. And the drums definitely stood out to me. There were a couple of other candidates I had for your style videos. Zach Barocas of Jawbox, Peter Edward Clark aka Budgie of Siouxsie & the Banchees, and Sigtryggur Baldursson of the Sugarcubes. The one thing all three of these guys have in common is they love incorporating the toms into their grooves. Especially Barocas, stock beats do not exist to this man. So inventive. Love the channel by the way. I have been playing for 30 years and I still learn something new with your videos.

Vitamin C! awesome

great video! Also I I really like the sound of your kit in general. I'm hearing it through youtube but the deadness of the snare is very satisfying.

ALSO do you look like Damo Suzuki in this video on purpose???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣💚💚💚💚

Awesome vid!!! This dude was such a good and underrated drummer

You gotta do Steven Perkins of Jane’s Addiction

Never clicked so fast

I love CAN! Awesome!

Woo I made it into the video! great video, did not realise thats what he's doing in Soup

thank you for doing this! love your style of videomaking

YESSSSSSSSS IM STILL SITTING THROUGH THE ADS BUT YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING THANK YOU COBB

Dude, this was dope. I’ve been diving into jaki drumming, and I figured you were a fellow morris fan by the closer shirt. Well done, your playing is tight.

Thank you!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

thanks, love Can, also love your Joy Division shirt ;-p

OH HELL YEAH

Dude sick

Damn good job!

Great video and great playing my man! I really enjoy your content. How about one on the playing and style of Peter Criss? Very underrated player and student of Gene Krupa. He is the reason I started playing drums !

jaki the boss

Jaki is my favorite drummer of all time. I wish you could make a video about Jon Theodore with The Mars Volta. Greetings from Mexico City

0:00 your Vitamin C !!

Good Work! Very little footage of this magician is online. And the Material with Bernd Friedman is not first Choice, in my personal ears.

He was the original human drum machine. I wish you would have included Future Days in this because his groove for it was great.

The greatest drummer of the 1970s

Lovely stuff although only a part of the story. Very few drummers truly "get" Jaki - I've heard endless RU-vid recreations of his playing. Whilst many absorb the patterns there is also the "dose" as Michael Karoil coined it: each hit is weighted with a precise touch which most people miss. You can hear this in Mother Sky - to the untrained ear it sounds like a linear beat, rigidly held, which is something in itself, but the snare hits rise and fall like a giant sine wave. There's also the drum tuning and adaptation which was a lifetime's work - in the end, he favoured rope tensioning (he also removed the acorn from the end of his drumsticks and ditched hi-hats "a Charleston machine"). Additionally, recording quirks such as swinging mics over the kit in real-time were sometimes used which is part of why his take on, say, Vitamin C sounds so unique.

After reading both CAN and Jaki Liebezeit biographies, I came out not 100% convinced that the "you must play monotonous" dude happened during CAN as we all believe. I think it actually might have happened shortly before CAN because at that time Jaki was playing free jazz where all sense of rhythm had been dissolved, and when he showed up to the audition Irmin expressed concern about this, to which Jaki explicitly replied "oh no, my days playing free jazz are over!"

Did Jaki use a double bass drum pedal?? I didn't think he did... Great Video! Absolutely Love CAN! This was great!

Awesome vid! You should do some argentinean drummers as well like Pomo Lorenzo, Oscar Moro or Charly Alberti, all very good and highly underrated

Maybe do one of these for John Marshall from Soft Machine. The song Peff has a pretty crazy beat to break down.

Thank you! Pls review Drumbo (Captain Beefheart drummer)

i would say the song Spray also has very abstract drumming

You should do Matt Helders from Arctic Monkeys soon, I swear he’s built different

LFG

You gotta do Greg Saunier from Deerhoof!

Jaki has gone newborn to live when he cancelled the swing. And he never played Jazz-style again!

sir, you MUST do a video on Bill Bruford

can you do Josh Dun drumming style?

Sam Fogarino from Interpol please!!

His name's actually pronounced 'Yaki'.

Now do Ziggy Modeliste!

Billy Cobham

bill brofurd next??

seine frau wohnt von mir ein haus weiter .. grüsse aus Poll

Well shit. Don't you know your Can 🎉

Rodrick Heffley drumming style?

Do lars ulrich
