It's been 10 years, I keep on coming to this video and still thinking this is probably the best drum solo I've heard in my life. Giuliana is an absolute beast.
He lives inside quantization more. Purdie lives in groove.. not that I prefer one or the other.. just Mark is NOT groove, he's more the Bach of push pull

My reply couldn't be later, but Squarepusher did some of his songs live with a band under Shobaleader One, they did A Journey to Reedham around the 6 min mark which is heavy on the drums, you might enjoy it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d-j_D-O1vwM.html
I get bored of drummers who only have technique. Mark is truly an inspiration to me because he really has originality, energy, groove and can make a small kit go a long way. Was a real pleasure to meet him some years ago and especially to find he's a nice guy and doesn't let his amazing talent go to his head. He is by far my favorite drummer.
Agree 100%. He's also incredibly versatile. He crushes grooves like this, and can turn around and nail jazz to the wall. His work on Gently Disturbed with Avishai Cohen is my favorite from him.
Mark is the first drummer (known/visible) that brought the tradition to service the modernity.. he brought EDM time signatures to Jazz trio (and more)//
I love how.... it's 2022....and here is this guy....playing beautifully...and playing things that have never been played before on a simple little drum kit. It's very inspiring.
Found this dude through Avashai Cohen's work. I wanted to see where jazz drumming is headed and who's leading the way. This guy is in the leading edge. Awesome.
Would love to buy Mark Guiliana's albums now, not just his Solo albums but his work with Donny McCaslin as well. Myself too, David Bowie made me take great interest in Mark's drumming. Now I am hooked as a new fan!
Ever since I heard this man play on BLACKSTAR? I just had to see just how good Mark Guiliana was? I loved his work on BLACKSTAR but wanted to see more? Thank u David Bowie R I.P., Mark Guiliana is just fantastic!
I think his spirit animal is some sort of serpent; the way he whips out at the kit in short powerful bursts but also manages to maintain and hold back sometimes is wicked.
It feels inspired by Go Ahead John with Jack DeJohnette's drumming and Teo Macero's studio wizardry on Miles Davis' Big Fun album-a pretty unpopular album during the cocaine-fueled Disco era of the 1970s, but pretty bad-ass 50 years later.
I have giving Mark Guiliana money for master classes and albums, but I feel like I could send him more money for how many times I come back to this video for inspiration. Love it.
Whos that guy on bass? Or whatever that is lol, and what kind of overdrive is he using? Or does he have a midi pickup? Whatever it is, and whoever he is, I dig it!
Jonkmaster 7/8 felt in 7/4. The song is Seven Ways by Now vs Now. They explore a few different (amazing) rhythmic ideas in 7/8 throughout the song. Check it out.
