Drum Solo By Chris Brien

[gkgrdr]

This is a great lesson for what a drummer has to AVOID to be ! Technic is ment to help musicians to express more advanced m u s i c feels. When technic becomes the main aim , then musicality and feel disappear and we have a joggler. Here we have a paradigm of somebody who forgot what music is about and tries to do a circus show. My advise is to put a brash somewhere behind and play standing up ,drawing on the back wall in a circus. As for groove,this is what we mean by:NO GROOVE

sorry

@gkgrdr Thanks for watching. Everyone to their own.

this is crazy... i wish my brain spazzed out like that so i could have the independence he's playing with... maybe one day

[mrbigbear45]

great independance. but it has no groove

[xxxslayerxxx666]

um it's not supposed to...this kind of playing is based on just layering ideas ontop of one another regardless of how unconventional it is...he can groove though check out sky high

[D33veeoss]

Drums should ALWAYS have groove.

If you can't play these technically elite

FUNDAMENTALS

without groove than no, it's not cool.

But if you take the 10seconds in the whole 10minutes where he's "catching up" then yeah there is no groove. If you look at the whole this cat is savage. Period. Full stop.

Do you really think that someone who can play at this incredible level can't play a groove?

This type of drumming is all about layering melodic ostinatos.

If you listen carefully this solo is full of grooves. They're just not your "standard grooves".

The foot snare groove at the end of this solo is incredible!!

Chris Brien plays "grooves" in his tunes Skyhigh and walking on air.

Defintely one of the most unique drummers on youtube.

xxxslayerxxx666 is 100% correct.

thank u, at least somebody understands! ohh and if u like technical music then meshuggah is the band for u....right now im learning bleed, and that song is a beast, i get shin splinters like a mofo after only a minute into it, and it's 7:30 minutes long, and if u like meshuggah u might like textures...hahaha and i love how D33veeoss said that these are fundamentals!

@mrbigbear45 I agree, zero groove, and zero musicality. Also, no respectable drummer needs to twirl his sticks.
