Drum Teacher Reacts: Zildjian LIVE! - MARCUS GILMORE | (OMG!) 

If you are like me and can't get enough of these damn Zildjian LIVE videos... Here's my playlist. But please follow the links in description for the OG videos ru-vid.com/group/PLqspKksRqaUUpWJtvRZcHh4OkprRgBf0n

The song itself is so beautiful, thanks Sput!

Marcus was easily one of my favorite Zildjian live performances for sure. The man is no joke👏

Funny how the pianist with a rasta bonnet is as well a drummer but the way he plays this instrument throughout the whole song is trully remarkable!

Man he is so good…… Just freaking amazing! He’s not from earth. He’s from planet Zildjian!

Never heard of him before and now this is one of the top five drum performances I've ever seen. What a treat. What a drummer. What a band.

I stumbled across Marcus playing with Carlitos Del Puerto in the Chick Corea fronted trio, Vigilette, for Jazz Night in America and I was blown away. Now, he’s right there with Larnell and JD Beck as a must-see drummer for me

incredibly musical, massive chops, pocket for days and highly creative. The sound of his kit also really compliments his playing style. Loved it.

Ya, he good. Hes a very calm player, even when hes digging in, it has such a chill vibe to it.

His playing with Chick Corea and his plauogm with Joel Ross/Immanuel Wilkins is my favorite, but also with Vijay Iyer.... And everywhere tbh, he's one of my favorite drummers of all time. Just as breathtaking as his grandfather's playing.

Loved the reaction bro, very sincere. Love Marcus Gilmore too, that man is absolutely brilliant on the drums

The texture, dynamics and stick height throughout is blowing my mind

Australian Drummer Virgil Donati is in a class all by himself…Very complex extremely clean, rock solid technique. Plays everything & plays them well…He’s mostly fusion influenced…Composes, writes & plays keyboards & guitar, also… His band Planet X is unreal…His solos are legendary…Would appreciate a reaction/Analysis of him…I’m certain you guys will enjoy & appreciate this guy’s talent…

His foot is working two sets of hi hats at once 😳

When you said he’s, “Telling a Story”, it reminded me of his younger days. He started playing at 10 yrs old and when he was 15, Steve Coleman, (a master musician and teacher), took him in and started teaching him different complicated meters and rhythms as well as fluctuating tempos. He quickly became a drummer who could ebb and flow through music that was less time based and more ethereal in nature. As a teen he once related to me what he gleaned from Mr Coleman, “Everything is in four” and proceeded to play four in one hand and an assortment of odd meters with the other hand … AND MADE THEM LOCK UP!! From this his development as a storyteller through drums emerged. Seeing him play with Steve Coleman and Vijay Iyer, & Ravi Coltrane, (who he started playing with while in highschool), I got the sense, just as you said, that he was telling a story and he was not bound by time.

I just literally watched this last night and minutes ago phenomenal! Just gotta watch it again!!!

Surprised nobody mentioned that was Will Calhoun checking out the goods on Marcus's kit at the end! Another monster drummer!

Thanks Andrew. I've never heard of him but he definitely impressed me! I'll have to watch more of him and see the details. Great video. Thanks. Jazz is not dead.

That 2 seconds from Kickboxer made this video better. Like good seasoning

Wow I'm a fan now what a DYNAMIC performance.....perfect!

My intro to him was on Chick Corea's Vigilette Trio. Stunning musicianship. A drummer for the ages!

I never came across this drummer, but of course, he's a beast! But, this band! THIS BAND! WHAT THE F ARE THEY DOIN! Why are they all THAT GOOD!?!

I thank zildjian for the absolutely eye opening performances, and to introduce me to Gergo Borlai and Marcus. For me, these two resonated hard with me and what i feel like is playing music.

Marcus is one of the greatest living Drummers as far as I'm concerned. A touch like no other - his Grandfather is the great Roy Haynes. If you dig Jazz I can recommend anything he has done over the past few years with Chick Corea and Calitos del Puerto, you cannot miss.

The appreciation that is shown at the end of these jam sessions are great. It makes it all worth it in the end..

Yes! I was waiting for this reaction :D

How easy does he make that look so effortless amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽

Gavin: What the hell am I, chopped liver?!

Heel and toe hit hat technique…love it!

To answer your question about extreme metal drumming Andrew you have to develop cardia in your arms and calves and it takes years to do it. Eventually they do not tire. There are no long term health problems having more mitochondria so far for me. You do have to be very devoted and at first all you want to do is blast beat and when you have mastered that you can then focus on the groove. The focus is to channel your adrenaline and that is why we do what we do.

All that, and makes it look effortless! Tooooooo Good!

Always interesting to see the differences in how people hold their stick. He has so little stick in his hand.

Hello from Texas This guy is totally AWESOME Thank You Andrew

Roy Haynes’ grandson.. kinda like cheating. Family of Gods apparently. All insane drummers on Zildjian Live. But I think this is the best musically. Build, release, resolution, storyrelling, dynamics that create real feeling across the whole peace.

I love the expression of that kid! he's getting some of the best education!

Another great pick Andrew !! since I heard Marcus Gilmore playing on the hauntingly beautiful "The Vigil" by Sir. Chick Corea, he has been on my watch list for jazz drummers, great feel and sound. The definition of MOJO !! Havea good day mate.

SO good!

Wish this song was on Spotify!

Superb musicianship all around, wow! Very Skinny Puppyish in a way, love it!

Sock is to stop sympathetic vibrations on other string … leads to a cleaner recording. Guitar players mute often with the edge of their palm especially on high gain sounds

Right on woodwinds,did you hear thoes sax!Oh my gosh,so effective without beating the crap outta your drums!💛✌

"I don't want anything on me when I play drums". Post that video, mr Rooney:-)

Honestly at one point, when he gets into his solo it feels like the band decided to fade out and listen to him shine for a bit and then pick up rather than it be purposefully done 😅, and I'd do the same lol

7:35 says it all mate

Mononeon (the bassist) has a sock on his headsock.

With a rug on the shoulders and didnt even break a sweat 😱

He is obviously lifting the entire band

Elvin Jones like moments on the solo🤩

Andrew Rooney Drums: “If you don’t have a sock on the headstock of your bass, what are you doing?” Steinberger Bass Players: 😳😔 lol

Phenomenal drummer, played with Chick Corea as well!

This guy is 🔥 He reminds me of Tony Allen (Fela Kuti) and Max Roach! Huge pocket and so much swing!

Top marks for the Shooter McGavin clip :)

Don't let Gavin hear you say he isn't your favorite drummer! 😂

Wow. Just, wow. I’m going to have to find some of his records. Also, I apparently need a sock for my headstock. A headstocking? I wonder if it serves a similar purpose to Victor Wooten’s scrunchy.

Bassist had a sock on his head too...haha. Jazzy snazzy groove 👍👍

As a non drummer am I to assume that the Hi-hats are measured as 2 equals cymbals? e.g. the 2 Zil Bel 10" as opposed to a 5". Totally enjoyed this episode and your channel.

Kristina Rybalchenko! She rocks! Hits hard!

What to react??They are holy monsters of music!!!

about that sock... propably it's just his style. mostly, for muting open strings, to not awaking them by other notes while soloing, bassists using wool armbands or hairbands. just because getting off other notes. guitarists that play mostly by tapping use this for same reason. but sock? like i said, propably just his style to achieve same thing EDIT: oh, now i've remembered right word for this. wool or foam over first or second fret is just muting overtones that are waking up while playing solos with a certain technique, when you can't palm mute other strings.

Yo man he’s Roy Haynes grandson. He’s been on the scene since a kid, have deep dive man. He is as real as it gets.

I think he is hitting another cymbal or some kind of oercussion with a heel kick to a remote pedal.

Gotta react to Nikki Gilaspee

I don’t know...something’s missing. Snarky Puppy with Larnell Lewis (I know, it’s pointless to compare) is such a different experience- this tune sounds like it’s wandering too much. Great musicians of course

I'm too PTSD-stricken to appreciate this I'm afraid. :-(

As "one of the bassists" who watch your channel, I assume the sock is hit string mute.

This song feels deeply inspired by Pat Metheny.

The sock on the bass is not what’s impressive for that bassist, the guy is playing inverted (righthand bass played as a lefty, low string at the bottom)

Definitely can tell he is related to Roy Haynes

Wait wait… the flute player is also switching between flute and sax?

More than el estepario siberiano ?!

The flutist has terrible posture heheh

0:25 A double TWSS! Nice.

There are some things you can reasonably aspire to do. Go to space, cure cancer, invent new EV batteries that don't use lithium and charge in 1 minute. Play like this guy? Maybe curb your expectations a bit.

It's all about tastes. And while I'm certain this is top of the top shelf stuff, the keyboards really ruined this for me. I'm just not feeling it at all. It detracted from the percussion SOOOOOO MUCH!. Just not my cup.

What do you call this style of music ,? Like I know technically it is jazz. But whenever I see jazz players it’s never like this. Like I’ve seen jazz shows and usually they play standards. And new material is always similar. What do you call this super virtuoso style off jazz ? Like snarky puppy and the music drummers use to showcase cymbals. Cause I wanna find this style of music for guitar guys as well. Cause when I think of Jazz this is not what I think of at all. I think of an old man party where the drummer is playing traditional and the music is always kinda lame. I don’t even know how to search for bands like this Also it’s SNARKY puppy. If you find Skinny puppy it’s a lot different lol. My industrial metal friend back in the day likes skinny puppy. And I was so confused the first time I heard snarky puppy cause I was like wait. This cannot be the same band. And it’s definitely not hah

Hes not Neil Peart caliper

Who wants to hear you talk over everything??
