The phenomenal drummer Marcus Gilmore carries on the creative openness of his drum elders and underscores the drum set as a melodic instrument (augmented by a Sunhouse Sensory Percussion setup.)

Man, what an amazing solo....can someone break down those left hand "ruffs" for me? I can't replicate it on a pad, even. Is it even a traditional "ruff?" If anyone has any tips or ideas on how he can get that "ruff" sound from his left hand, please share.
I suspect to see more and more drummers getting very creative with their sound, both in their setup and playing. This idea that your kit should be arranged in a certain way and you need a 14 in hi hat and you can't have 4 rides and etc etc etc. All of this will be disregarded. Look at a drummer like JD Beck. He has a very unique sound and setup. This drummer is similar. I also believe there are many more sounds that could be applied to a drumset. Look at the clapstack, for example. You can also expect to see more hybrid setups, as electronic drums keep improving.
@@user-nf7cr6wn6o I'm talking about modern drummers. Who the hell sounded like JD Beck in the 70s? The kid has his own sound. Which drummers are you talking about?
The foot ostinato is 3+3+2 which he plays different variations of. He kind of goes back and forth between triplet and 16th note feel with his hands. His use of different timbres on the kit as well as the cross stick makes His rhythms harder to comprehend.
