Wow... Damn right 1st place... that Xylophone, plus two stick drumming was dope ! ! ! Awesome job Zach, Neil Peart would be proud... Peace (FMM: Cavaliers, Tuba/Baritone, '77-'87)
Incredible solo. I am a drum set player and I was in drumline in HS but always never tooo into it, always just working on kit stuff. You sir are a true scholar of music and have a drum set style only a percussionist in the blue devils has lol. I was wondering if you have transcribed this solo at all so I can learn some of these beats? What kinds of books/stuff did you work on to have such a good rhythmic vocabulary around the kit? Just wondering. Also you should do the guitar center drum off if you haven't already
Don’t know if you’ll see this given how old your comment is, but it’s clapping music by Steve reich. It’s the same part in each limb phased over by one eighth note
How is it that someone can be so incredibly talented, yet people need to dislike the video? Really, what is the point? Awesome job man. I enjoy watching people play what I will never be able to play.
i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this i love this………..infinity!
does anyone know any famous drummers who play like this (style wise) sorry for my lack of knowledge, i'm trying to refer to like playing with a lot of independence and etc. i don't even know what you'd call this type of drumming, anyway thank you to anyone who response?
If you can get into the style of music, Danny Carey from Tool is pretty incredible when it comes to polyrhythms. Triad for example, Swiss triplet variation over a kick pattern in 5, glueing it all together with quarters on the left foot.
Check out Gavin Harrison’s 3-5-7 groove. 3 way polyrhythm, it’s pretty crazy. Also, check out Mike Johnston’s “big kid” independence exercise (displaced paradiddle diddles over a straightened out jazz ostinato)
Uh but switching from the cowbell to stack he like instantly sped up, wasn’t gradual or anything. Was that a part of the thing or what? Not denying his ability to play, like he’s clearly better than me no question, I just got thrown off by how the feeling of the groove changed. I guess it’s just supposed to be there idk
TKnight01 he went from a swung rhythm on the cowbell to a straight sixteenth note syncopation groove on the stack which gives the impression of speeding up. Pretty cool stuff :)
Some cool inclusions but mostly sloppy and irritating overall. When you complicate something just to make it complicated, you lose the element of musicality and professionalism. And from the comments, it sounds like he’s flying on the winds of being overrated within a social cocoon. I would suspect just a matter of time before the rude awakening
Stole the bell+drum set idea from JP Bouvet’s 2011 GC Drumoff winning final His chops are KILLER but there’s no musicality nor pacing in the solo. As a drummer, he’s amazing? As a composer? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh
Really? He "stole" it? Cause I'm sure that guy was the first person in history to have that idea. It's not that someone else has done it before, it's that it's really hard and Zach executed it amazingly with his own creativity. Also, I thought the solo has really nice pacing, with transitional material and a good flow of tempo, he even recaps the opening drum beat at the end and adds even more to it, to give the solo a nice rounded-out feeling. He also has excellent control of the dynamic range of the drums.
Bouvet stole it from Danny Carey in Vicarious - 10,000 days (2006). We can all be niggers about it if you really want to show the world how retarded you are.
