Donny Gruendler: Seeing Sounds - Jazz Drums

[TheDrumKing98]

Hi, what cymbals are you using.

[ClassicDylan]

hey, where did you get the track you're playing too, or how can i get it? cheers

[MrLerrion]

9 people just don't understand the beauty and complexional structure of jazz music. It is a matter of tastes I guess... 

[XxAKILLxX]

nice sizzle sounds from the cymbals :)

[marionetas]

agarra bien los palos

la conc....

[MrXenonboy]

Excellent...

[Po1sN3]

This is just amazing. Really spot on. A lot of drummers should learn to play like this and not be all about the flashiness and speed. You play just what the music needs with such a great feel it's amazing! Also, great sounding drums and cymbals, I've got that same ride and love it!

[StrawberryJungle]

Beautiful smooth playing. I love your jazz face too.

[aalonsoaranda]

gooo Donny!!! miss ya man!!

[nickcheapp]

[arquimidespedraz]

[DLGMedia1]

[MrNanoGod]

@arquimidespedraz The brazz Brothers

[DaveXNavarro]

i watch all of these jazz drumming videos and this is the one i always come back to :)

[caseydoddmusic]

Are those Paiste Traditionals (including the left side ride with rivets)?

[DLGMedia1]

@caseydoddmusic Yes, the cymbals are Paiste Traditionals. The main ride is a 22" medium light, the left ride (drummer's perspective) is a 20" medium w/ rivets and the other (over the floor tom) is a 20" Swish Knocker w/ Rivets. The Hihats are (2) Traditional 17" thin crashes used as Hi-hats.

[drumline671]

7 people know jazz is too hard for them to play

[Jazzdrum1210]

2:25 Philly jo jones lick no doubt

[ydrjtt]

bossa nova influenced ?

[HumveeMB]

Thats a Solidrums drum?

[DLGMedia1]

[Hendryedward123]

[urbanecho]

Wow this video raked up some views since I last saw it. I just typed in Jazz Drumming and this was one of the top videos... Proud of you DONNY!

[DLGMedia1]

@urbanecho Thanks B man. I hope to see you very soon :)

[urbanecho]

@DLGMedia1 Because of your class I landed a cruise line gig for 6 months!

Thanks for pushing me!

[mserebreny]

felt like I heard a slight Joe Morello influence in your solo, do you take any inspiration from him?

[DLGMedia1]

@mserebreny Yes, I definitely went through my Morello phase - as well as Blakey and Philly Joe. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[ConquerTheCemetery]

I'm a huge Metalhead, but this is sick shit.

[Kotorious14]

Simple, but articulate at the same time. Love it!!

[DLGMedia1]

@robeldrumming

It is a 4x14 DW Jazz Series Snare.

[pilotsean1]

this is great! killer jam face. just curious: why the grip change after the song starts?

[DLGMedia1]

@pilotsean1 I'm always switching between traditional and matched - depending on my mood and the sound I'm looking for......I guess I changed my mind after the first few bars in this take ;)

[pilotsean1]

@DLGMedia1 ah, i see! well, too cool man. your drumming is inspirational; thanks for sharing!

[Rocheetje]
