You really can't go wrong as a composer if you hire the right musicians. All these drummers are amazing and it's nice to see them working together like this.
I don't know about anyone else here but for me the music is what made Man of Steel a great film, and the percussion is what made the music so damn good.
112steinway The music was SICK. It must of been awesome watching the movie and hearing the music for hte first time in a cinema. I can't believe I chose to watch the Wolverine over this movie. Big mistake.
It's so weird (for me as a drummer anyway) to realise when I'm watching man of steel I hear guys like like Carrey and Colaiuta playing, or both MJ and Prince's drummers. Zimmer pioneers again! Brilliant score.
Seriously what is it with Zimmer Fanboys? The Superman track is awful. It's pretty telling that the critical reception was luke warm at best, while the popular opinion was it was a masterpeice. Seriously the musical knowledge and taste of the public is getting dumber and dumber.
ojideagu . I'm not saying that as a bad thing. I'm personally a fan of Hans Zimmer. I think his soundtracks do the film's he writes for justice, just look at Angels and Demons and the Batman trilogy. Surely this isn't the most epic of songs, but the score is definitely what the film needed. Don't be hating on Hans Zimmer. While I admit my musical knowledge isn't strongest, I am going to school for music and have a fair idea of what good music is.
***** I write music and studied music, Hans Zimmer WAS good. His Batman music is mostly mediocre but has one decent theme. However Superman is just AWFUL for the most part.
ojideagu . It all depends on your taste. to me he is awesome see he does not go for the classic themes instead he goes more for emotions on his scores giving them the appropriate tones to each movies. rather than going for the classic themes like john williams or danny elfman. To me The Dark knight triology is not mediocre, it is a score that was more serious and represented what nolan's batman was all about and Man of steel had a heroic theme to him, of greatness n while i do like the original themes,zimmers give more to me than the other ones.
dork knight It's Lazy by Zimmer. Anyone can put chords together and make a wall of chords and drums. It takes skill to weave lines together and create motifs and melodies that link. Where is the memorable moments of Batman? It's just wallpaper of thundering drums and a couple of String stabs. There is one glimmer of light of a theme but it is not put forward enough as THE THEME. I think It's in Dark Knight Rises. Superman is just a lazy peice of work. He didn't even try and make a theme to mark superman in peoples minds.
I love how with every Score, Zimmer focuses on one particular instrument/ same family of instruments. Inception: Horns, Interstellar: The organ, Man of steel: obvious, etc... I think for the Bible Series and Gladiator it was Lisa Gerrard's voice lol.
i love how vinnie isnt even in the description. Hes the most awarded drummer and i think hes played with more people than anyone, and u can see when he takes a photo stands at the back. Genius and humble, hes the boss
In all his proyects mr Zimmer's always been able to find the perfect Score for each film, i mean there is no way to top his work, he gives each character it's perfect sound, it happen with Batman now Superman and i hope it happens with Spiderman. Hans Zimmer is Amazing.
It's funny when I first saw Pharrell's name on the soundtrack booklet, I was like: "This can't be the same Pharrell who did the song 'Happy' for Despicable Me 2" so I did some digging up and it turned out it was the real deal. And the fact that Hans got him to be part of Man of Steel. My mind was blown.
Every single drummer has their own Individual style of playing & Hans Zimmer ticked mark at the right boxes by bringing them together under one roof creating one epic soundtrack 🤩
I didn't know Pharrell Williams was on there! Seems he and Zimmer carried their collaboration onto TASM 2's score and that was equally phenomenal. :D Kudos to the team and Zimmer!
AMAZING MY HUMAN BROTHER HONESTLY JUST HEART MELTING HEARING THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND NOW LISTENING JUST NOW AGAIN IS LIKE THE FIRST TIME ALL OVER AGAIN ❤️🙏💯
I am a drummer and while watching the movie I just thought "These drums are fucking amazing! POWERFULL and soft when they need to be... Hanz has done something here..." Now after seeing the vid I know that Zimmer sees music like the core of a movie it is! AMAZING! All these drummers coming together... I have had to sit through so many arguments with people who don't understand that the best drummers in the world are in the end the session drummers you never see in bands... Now I have a link!
Cool, finally we get to see Junkie XL speak a little as well as he's been heavily involved with Zimmer since Inception. Too bad we only saw one shot of Danny Carrey. Damnit, why don't they film everything! I'd friggin buy that dvd seperately.
I can't wait to hear what they'll do for Batman v Superman, Hans Zimmer seems to be composingt he Superman side of the score and another DJ (can't remember his name) is composing the Batman side. I'm also looking forward for a Wonder Woman theme for the movie.
Junkie XL. He shows up in the video at 1:51. He has worked with Zimmer on The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel. He also did a synth remix of a song from The Dark Knight Rises. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G_DJEGaABxM.html
Listening to the soundtrack, the drums really define the most. So much energy in those drums, even in the quiet moments of the score. I do hope to hear some more drums in Batman V Superman :3
All these drum Maestros together... incredible. It seems to me that was more than a drum there, but this ensemble partially shows what I felt years ago should be the orchestra next step forward on... a number of each modern instrument added.
I can dig that, though. I should have mentioned that. It's interesting the way Hans brings different breeds of musicians together to create a final work.
Pharrell's also the drummer for his super eclectic alt hip-hop/alt rock/funk band N.E.R.D. And yeah, the Neptunes produced on hundreds of tracks all throughout the 90's and 2000's. He won the award for best hip-hop producer of the 2000's. But he's an all around great percussionist, musician, and producer.
