@@alexreid4131 because I've seen plenty of ppl get into music and even swap genres for the wrong reasons. He sucks. Mgk sucks. Real recognize real. And he ain't real. It's like those drumlines that are more interested in cool tricks and bs instead of showing off how good they are...because they aren't. Keep in mind I've been in this scene for about 2 decades and played drums for several bands also was drumline captain in high school. The movie drumline was pure cringe and then I had idiots wanting to join my drumline the next year. All the new ppl quit at band camp or later on. Drumming is either in your heart or it isn't. I just don't see it in this dude.
@@px7zz you clearly don’t even know this dude or what he’s about. I’ve seen him live and my family knows his. Has put in countless hours and kills it on stage. Also just a great guy off stage. Gatekeeping music doesn’t help the industry whatsoever and there is a reason this dude has found success and you haven’t lol
What you put into your music resonates with audience no matter what the artform. If you're having a blast while playing drums the audience will feel that energy and have a blast because of it, no matter how simple or complex it is
Would you be sitting there like a stiff? Look at all those people, dudes heart was probably racing. I'd kill for that euphoria he's got. He's having a blast. Good for him whoever he is.
@@calmdownbeavis7039 he’s really good but he’s wasting way to much energy on throwing his arms around lol. I dance with my shoulders and my head not my elbows🤣
If anyone has ever played in front of an audience, you would understand why he's playing this way. It's a visual representation of the hype he wants to convey to the crowd. If you look the part, the audience will feel that energy. If he played with only the required amount of energy, the show wouldn't be exciting, especially with the simplicity of the groove. He's more than a drummer, he's a performer and a showman. You don't get to play in front of a large audience if you look boring.
@@FlamingPiss i see what you mean. And understand. But stil in my honest opinion when playing such a simple groove, it is a little too much. But again i see what you mean. And understand why he is acting like that.
Although this is totally not my style of playing, it's actually really cool to see this guy get deep into it. He really seems to be enjoying it, which is the point to drumming altogether. So good for him! Keep up the vibe!
I wonder though... Even if it's wasteful and excessive, hopefully it's a healthy exercise. Perhaps diving into showmanship like this (with all the cardio and aerobic benefits) actually might enable him to keep on with it for the next 60 years?
Say that to sound engineers that do local metal shows. All my drummers tap quietly then once they get nervous before their intro is almost done, they play at quadruple the volume.
I had a drummer have the audacity to ask me if I could turn him up a couple of years back. I said I couldn't. Mainly because to turn him up, I'd first have to turn his mics back on....
Carter Beauford is on a WHOLE different level compared to this guy. Beauford is one of my all time favorite drummers from one of my all time favorite bands and, the shit I’ve seen him do with a kit 7x bigger than this dudes is flat out crazy. another really fucking good drummer is alex bent.
@@fcfatitan6088 doesn’t matter how big his kit is, first of all. You just betrayed the fact that you don’t play drums. Secondly, I will bet money Carter would watch this one little segment and go “fuck yeah!” Anyone on here dissing this guy is not familiar at all with what he’s doing. The heavy hitting and all that is just performance for a large crowd. You’re ear isn’t trained to hear the ghost notes he’s playing. On the fourth bar, he plays a single-handed ghost note 5-stroke roll that is fairly technical and takes quite a while to learn. His ending fill is already really nice, but since we can see from behind the kit, it’s apparent that he’s using a heel-toe technique on his bass pedal. This is a difficult technique to learn, to say the least. Most just opt for a double-bass pedal, especially when they’re already playing with an open high-hat anyway. This drummer has learned a skill to greatly advance his repertoire without expanding his kit. It’s something that any drummer worth his salt can respect. You may not like the band he plays for. I have absolutely no idea who it is. But that shouldn’t take away from the guy’s skill, which is right there on full view and has literally nothing to do with the size of his kit. Different styles call for different kits. Different shows and different crowds call for different attitudes and different performances. Seems to me that this guy has figured out exactly how to play to the crowd and how to play his kit. What more can be asked?
@@alexbaum2204 LMAO what the fuck makes you think I said he doesn’t have skill? I never said he didn’t have skill I just said there are way better drummers than this guy. The shit he’s playing is not nearly as technical as you fucking think. “Ghost notes” shut the fuck up the only thing involving a ghost is the people you talk to after typing out shit like that
@@alexbaum2204 and most drummers that have been playing for a while can do exactly what he’s doing with a kit like that. I’ve seen countless drummers pull shit off way harder than this with a kit the same size or hell even smaller. One of the first things most drummers learn when they want to expand their skill set is to learn how to fully use a single kick rather than expanding to two.
At first I thought he was playing "Vasoline" by STP then I realized it was too simple, but I WILL say this man is having the time of his life! Lol. We should all experience this at least once. ☺
I think people are missing the point. He isn't "mad" because he is drumming an incredibly intricate, difficult beat; it's how incredibly absorbed he is with it.
@@josephfieber2383 Ok? Have you ever played drums? Most beats are simple, complicated beats do not sound good (most of the time they don’t). You entirely miss the point of this video, absolute disrespect
@@adangamez3608 I can play iron maiden as well as the blue's. I sing and play Also. He's good. And it's cool. Let's he'll brake his drums and cymbals. Nothing to write home about here. Peace
Being complicated doesn’t make you a great drummer. Having chops doesn’t make you a great drummer. Having the tools and energy to convey your music to the listener in a way that’s enjoyable, makes you a great drummer. ^ this is a great drummer.
I like his style but don’t get me wrong he’s definitely no Keith moon or bill ward those guys would completely leave this planet while playing sometimes.
The basic drum groove He’s doing I consider it to be a beGinner thriller. When most beginner drummers learn this pattern they feel accomplished and the best drummer in the world. I call this the beginner groove.
For real man, when I started drumming and learning to keep a basic beat, my first lil groove/ pattern was pretty much exactly like this and I thought I was sick af 😂 he's just doing a pretty basic beat but hitting everything hard af.. but we all start somewhere hey.
@@carlostrujillo8708 trust me just because he is on stage doesn’t mean you’re getting paid bruh . Especially where there is crowds of people that’s when you least get paid and basically do it for free or publicity. In my case I’ve played for thousands and thousands of people and not really gotten paid in those events . Iam sure you are not a drummer so that’s why you are on here commenting on something you don’t know. Who’s hating now? Not hating on the guy or you but u probably not even a musician either right just saying. We not hating at all cus we all start as beginners .
Pure Energy and Inspiration ...that's exactly what he is ... Great performance ... He leaves his Soul on Stage in each Gig ... Makes u feel like it worths to see his band ... Playing Live !!!
his energy is legit and very few people wouldn't have the same reaction when playing in front of that many people. It is nerves and all your fear (possibly making a mistake or the equipment failing), healthy anxiety, adrenaline and skill all mixed together. It is exhausting but well worth it.
i know its all about how music makes you feel but this guy is just doing what every drummers learn the first week...and if you play like that during a full show is very taxxing i hate how social media only appreciates surface-level talent when some really great ones go virtually unknown..
OR ITS NOT AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED. YOU WANNA WATCH A GREAT DRUMMER. ZOLTON CHANEY WITH VINCE GILL. RU-vid HIM. VINCE GILL SOLO.GREAT PERFORMANCE. THIS GUY IS AN ORDINARY GOOD DRUMMER
I've seen some pretty dumb comments, but I can see why people are bashing him for how hard he's hitting the drums. It's just for show and that's what people need to understand. Also, it's his drum set so he can play them however he wants lol. I just hope he knows how to dial it down.
Now that's the fucking swing I'm looking for. Okay so he's not Bonzo but man, I see alot of drummers that can play the shit out of the drums, but not all have that swing to me. Good for you man. 🤘
Hmm.... I've never heard the term swing, used to describe stage presence. A better word to use is SOUL. Swing, usually refers to a specific sort of feel. Mostly in jazz or blues..... two notes together with a tiny pause and then two again, played with "soul" you could say.... sounds like "da-da.... da-da" on the ride, with the snare hitting every 4th "da" (hits, not notes because it may be 4 hits, but that's during a 2 note window..... with the bass drum on the 1 and 3. And the snare on the 2 and 4).... kind of thing..... But hey, to each their own. No hate or anything, of course. I'm just kind of nuts, being a drummer. Wish I could explain it better, I just can't write it down in the proper way. But look up a jazz swing if you aren't sure what I'm talking about.
@@rauldorsman8191 that's so funny! When I was in high school, we called this dude "a drum machine" 🤣 nothing against him but he was, even for that times, bloody terrible. Like a random guy took 2 weeks drummer course and he was ready to go! 🖤😂❤️🤣❤️😂🖤
@@TheSkarlander Charlie was great in the 60s and 70s. Midnight rambler from Brussels affair (live version from goats head soup deluxe edition) is a perfect example of a drummer that leads the band and that drives them forward. He is a master in keeping it simple, but also in making it work. Some drummers forget that, even John bonham, whom I think is the best drummer ever, lacks this ability sometimes.
Ah yes, the forbidden beats, legend has it that every drummer instinctively knows how to play that beat, almost like being possessed by the drumming demons of old
@@px7zz every drummer gets props, playing drums is fucking hard. It gets easily tiring. Even if the beat is basic, the drummer is always the one who sets the mood up for the hype, plus it’s literally like a workout
Just an FYI, as a drummer I can tell you that him beating the set to death doesn’t make him better, or sound better. The only thing that’s happening is him damaging his set.
Also a drummer; Those heads sound like triple ply, it’s known they sound better when hit harder, thus the three layers. And no offense but as a drummer you should know he’s not hitting his drum kit. He’s hitting triple play heads that are getting replaced after this show and probably every show.
Playing shows it’s really important to play the music and stay in your pocket. He’s enjoying it and having fun without being a jerk and overplaying the other musicians.
Yes it’s a basic beat, but it’s the way he’s playing it that makes it good. Solid timing, nice ghost notes, nice fills. It’s the little things that separate average drummers from good drummers. Someone can play a hard, technical beat and sound like crap, someone else can play a basic beat with style and all the subtleties and sound good. I gotta say though, i can’t imagine he swings the sticks that high for too long without gassing his arms out.
“Crazy drummer” and then THERES Joey Jordison drumming with like a set of 36drums and it’s rotating while being spun around at like an 90 degree angle.
