To all the people saying there is no beat, and speed means nothing - he's practicing single stroke stuff! Don't you guys practice? Ok, so the acoustics of the room aren't great, but what this guy is doing is great. I haven't seen Art playing with a band yet, but intend to try and find something, and I bet he swings like a bitch. Stop hating and appreciate this video for what it is. A guy practicing speed and endurance.
he's fast as hell but has like no fucking beat going...it doesn't sound shitty cuzza the room, it sounds shitty cuz he isn't doing anything except going fast...going 30000000000 bpm on a snare doesn't make you good...applying it to a beat and in a fill or something does...it's fucking annoying to even listen to AAHHH haha!!
To all the people that are saying it sounds horrible .... its simply because of the room acoustics that he is playing in and the fact that the sound was recorded by a camera mic in 1997.. If you put this guy on a stage or in a recording studio or , in an acoustically treated room he would sound amazing.
@locobotics Exactly. I've seen dozens of guys just like Art. They sit and practice single stokes, triplets, and paradiddles 12 hours a day - then play them around the kit. Yeah, it's ridiculously fast. It also gets boring to listen to really quick
I don't know a whole lot about this world record holder.. just saw this video and thought I would check it out. Being a drummer myself, I am impressed by his speed, but I am not one to accept speed being the only factor of drumming. The whole point is to make it come out clean and sound nice, as well as mixing that with speed. Obviously Neil Peart is a good example, if you count the use of his electronics. Also, Mike Portnoy. Speed isn't everything.
As a drummer myself, I don't quite get this whole wave of jealous drummers coming over here to slam such a technically amazing drummer as Art Verdi. His speed moving around a kit actually resembles me of Buddy Rich (and thats very rare). I 'd love to see some of these dickheads attempt this stuff as they would fail miserably. Art moves extremely fast, his executions are clean and hes able to mix up many different rudiments into his playing. If thats not technical proficiency I dunno what it is.
Err first of all I'm not even a kid so that already shows the kind of moron I'm dealing with here. Anyone can judge anything they wan't, you dont have to BE something to like it or not. You are just an elitist cock sucker who thinks he knows better than everyone else. Most people on here are saying this vid is fast but he doesn't do anything...because its CRAP.
So the conclusion is...Art Verdi sucks in this video.
Err first of all, you just called a university professor (slamdunk9) a moron. I'm 19, and am pretty sure judging from your video that you're much younger than me, which means that does make you a kid...one with a lot to learn about many things, drums being but one. Mostly you seemed to be infatuated with gay sex, which seems very unusual when discussing a drum video. Finally you seem not to understand that the discussion left debating you and became making fun of you some time ago. Good luck.
BWAHAHA, so funny. mroachfan is actually doing a countdown and this suislide idiot comes yacking it up right on cue. I wonder if I can get him to mow my lawn using the same technique.
Yes kid, people try to judge many things. It doesn't mean they can, it just means they're ignorant. Yes, you can judge all the movies you want. But it still won't be any more than the rantings of a teenage fool, arrogant enough to think he has a real thought. When you focus silliness towards those with thoughts, you waste their time.
You should really practice more and talk less. Your hero Mangini likes Art. Maybe you should ask him why. And if tells you, actually try to listen.
Once again played fast doesn't mean shit and this Art Verdi shit still sucks ass.
My playing has nothing to do with it, its just you guys are so full of shit sucking on Art Verdi's dick you can't see that this shit is absolutely horrid. There's like 4 billion drummers who can play fast and actually make something out of it compared to this joke. It's just awful and my own playing has nothing to do with it in the slightest.
If it doesn't mean shit man, why is your own video a failed tribute to it? I agree with these guys. You're a pretty terrible drummer who's not even even close to being able to judge anyone. If you can't feel it or play it, how can you judge it?
Fair question son, got an answer?
Nope, that's what I thought.
Funny too how arrogant little kids like this jump immediately to a homophobic reference when they have nothing to say.
Art is a former speed drumming world champion. All of those guys are called World's Fastest Drummer Champ, because the official name for speed drumming championships is World's Fastest Drummer or WFD. Art held the world record for nearly 2 years before Mangini. Verdi plays over 150 gigs a year with some of the top jazz musicians in the world. This is a practice video released by someone else. This video displays practice and is not a musicality display. Everything said here is legit.
WHO CARES. Playing fast doesn't mean SHIT. Not only is this guy not the fastest, it sounds like crap...there is no feel, and no structure. OH WOW HE PLAYS 150 GIGS A YEAR WOOOO THAT MEANS ALOT.
I visited Suislide1's lone video and heard some of the worst attempts at speed drumming ever displayed on youtube. His playing was laughable. He is not only a joke of a drummer, unqualified to comment on any aspect of music, but a hypocrite who demonstrates by his own drumming wank fests that he wishes he was fast himself. I left a similar comment on his video but he wouldn't post it. Instead he came here to further his career as a musical jackass.
I just went to this kid's video too. It had 154 views and 15 one star ratings, meaning that one out of every 10 viewers thought it was some of the worst crap they'd ever heard. See kid this is what Matt Smith (one of the best drummers for his age) is trying to tell you. Until you can at least play on the level of a farm animal, your only job in music criticism is to step behind a tree and drink a big can of shut the hell up. And until you can play 1 gig, yeah 150's a big deal.
this shit is DOPE! some snobby comments in here as if all drummers should appeal to these kids' lame standards, haha - tisk tisk. this dude is killlling it harder than most dudes could dream of. that's discipline son.
As always guys like LoudGuitr slam rising name rec guys like Art Verdi, when their own stuff is a pathetic joke with no apparent chance. Go to his channel listen to his band of smooth jazz wannabes slog through a set at some outdoor crap where they play for bicycles and yard pets. Funny how it's always like that, when all these bitter guys have to do is address their own sad marketing issues. They also need to hear this more so they can get their heads out of their asses and smell the coffee.
Incadanceinperu got insulting, but you LoudGuitr started it. The issue was about trolling asshats making extreme comments while having only crap to show for themselves. Seeing that you do nothing to defend that pathetic collection of sounds you call music, I assume your last post was an understandable reaction to obvious frustration. You're just not good enough to be doing anything other than working towards not playing badly. Art plays with Phil Woods. You play in a park with dogs. Got it now?
The music on my page you are referring to is not me. Secondly, you know nothing of my professional resume. Thirdly, this Art Verdi guy is stating that being a jackhammer is musical. If he was a little faster, is that better still? Tell me where I can find art created by speed painters and speed sculptors. Who is the fastest dancer? Art missed his calling. He should have been a typist. Lastly, what I initially posted was my opinion, to which I'm entitled. It wasn't a personal attack.
LoudGuitr's first comment was not an opinion, it was trolling. Then he cried like a little bitch when he was called on it. This is a pro drummer you pathetic idiot. He plays in bands that surpass your limited comprehension. I would explain that to you but...well, refer to the previous sentence. That's not an opinion slick, that's fact. Wankers like LoudGuitr don't have resumes or they'd be bragging about them. That's what poseurs who can't help but get the last word do. Anything else?
actually when he made this video he was recorded as the worlds fastest single stroke drumer so yeah at this time he was the fastest and still is the around the 3rd fatest
Thats considerably harder to do according to my own experience on a drum kit. Having said that, Art is still a BEAST. His speed, POWER!, Gladstone technique and stamina are astonishing. I've always been a fan. Its a good distraction from Buddy's unfortunate departure from this world... (now hes possibly entertaining "God" and - possibly - teaching him how to play the drums. hehe).
Second, Buddy usually did transitions between snare to floor tom really fast and hitting a high number of single strokes per drum in the process. Art does not do it. His transitions come from the tom and then he goes down to the snare. This is easier than Buddy's - try it at home... its a matter of coordination. Its harder to make your arms when paralled one to another "travel" empty distances when going from the snare to the floor tom.. snare-floor-snare-floor and so forth.
Though I'm a big Art Verdi fan (his speed dedication is AMAZING), I should say some things I've noticed. First, we have many little fragments of different days and performances here. Someone could watch this and think "look! This guy was tireless!" wrong, he could not play all these things for 10 minutes in a row like Buddy Rich did SO MANY times during his lifetime.
thats not even good. thats just ridiculous. thats a perfect example of someone who cant play their instrument for shit but wants to look good. what a fag.
What's up with people vouching for Joey as the fastest drummer? Joey may be better than me at the drums, but he isn't the fastest out there. Joey isn't all that creative when it comes to drums either. There's not really a whole lot of diversity in his drumming. Take the drum solo where we was on the raised platform. Shit. It was just a bunch of double bass and tom rolls. He's good, but he's not the "best". No musician is the best and any decent musician would know that.
uahuaaa Mike Mangini could not even think of doing this. The unique thing he knows to do is his 1200 ridiculous record - ridiculous technique. No volume, no power just "plug yourself in electricity" and you're done. This is ridiculous dexterity. Mangini is not even close. Open your eyes.
Look for Mangini's "traditional grip" single strokes' try and compare to THIS - I just laugh myt ass off. Art destroys Mangini. A whole lot more impressive.
This scopion is just another of the tragically hip who posts cool videos of Townsley and Chambers to show how plugged in he is when he is obviously unaware that both guys love Art's playing...the very guy he slams here...oops. Dude if you hate this guy so much, why do you constantly troll his videos?
dude you suck!!! please dont claim that you are the fastest in the world!!! who do you think you are fooling deuchbag!!! I suggest you learn how to tune before you make these proposterous claim of being the fstest in the worl!!! get out more!
good point, jordison would murder this guy on speed... this must be some kind of fucking joke, who is this old dick? any deuche with a camera claims to be the fastest on youtube... he is the fastest and I have a 24 inch dick.
(btw, i'm not laughing at your joke, i'm laughing at you for your comments about verti and joey, i thought i should make that clear since you are pretty dumb)
Don't you love the jealous noobs, almost all between the ages of 14-22 who think they have a clue about drumming based on their 20 minutes of experience, and know nothing about anything except what they listen to. Somebody just released a Verdi practice session, nothing more. He doesn't have to justify himself to wannabees.
its true he sucks my hands move faster then that and i am way slower then that haha he has either a very good movie editing program or he just played over some one else
Art Verdi is ridiculously fast and LOUD. No one is as fast using traditional grip (maybe Buddy). Thrash/Death drummer couldn't stand a candle to this guy (he plays at full speed for more than 1 minute non-stop. Art is ridiculous).
it's not double speed. when you play jazz stuff, toms are usually tight like that. if you think this is double speed, then maybe check out buddy rich because everything he does is for real.
Crap, I mena he is shit. How the hell did the fat, loser of a drummer play for those great guys. Come to think of iot they all played pretty much like that (in those days) except with coolness and class.
That was incredible!!!

But he is a very accomplished drummer. Trouble is, google for him and all you get is stuff about his speed records and 'worlds fastest drummer'.
That's the trouble with going for these competitions, I suppose... you get a reputation for being a speed freak that displaces everything else.

I've always been a fan. Its a good distraction from Buddy's unfortunate departure from this world... (now hes possibly entertaining "God" and - possibly - teaching him how to play the drums. hehe).

Second, Buddy usually did transitions between snare to floor tom really fast and hitting a high number of single strokes per drum in the process. Art does not do it. His transitions come from the tom and then he goes down to the snare. This is easier than Buddy's - try it at home... its a matter of coordination. Its harder to make your arms when paralled one to another "travel" empty distances when going from the snare to the floor tom.. snare-floor-snare-floor and so forth.

Though I'm a big Art Verdi fan (his speed dedication is AMAZING), I should say some things I've noticed. First, we have many little fragments of different days and performances here. Someone could watch this and think "look! This guy was tireless!" wrong, he could not play all these things for 10 minutes in a row like Buddy Rich did SO MANY times during his lifetime.

What's up with people vouching for Joey as the fastest drummer? Joey may be better than me at the drums, but he isn't the fastest out there. Joey isn't all that creative when it comes to drums either. There's not really a whole lot of diversity in his drumming. Take the drum solo where we was on the raised platform. Shit. It was just a bunch of double bass and tom rolls. He's good, but he's not the "best". No musician is the best and any decent musician would know that.

what about mike mangini for hands and tim waterson for feet? ( i know that art verdi isnt going for a feet record....but still)
mojoscary 4 years ago
uahuaaa Mike Mangini could not even think of doing this. The unique thing he knows to do is his 1200 ridiculous record - ridiculous technique. No volume, no power just "plug yourself in electricity" and you're done. This is ridiculous dexterity. Mangini is not even close. Open your eyes.
cadaverr 4 years ago
Look for Mangini's "traditional grip" single strokes' try and compare to THIS - I just laugh myt ass off. Art destroys Mangini. A whole lot more impressive.

Don't you love the jealous noobs, almost all between the ages of 14-22 who think they have a clue about drumming based on their 20 minutes of experience, and know nothing about anything except what they listen to. Somebody just released a Verdi practice session, nothing more. He doesn't have to justify himself to wannabees.

Art has a record of 220 single strokes in 10 seconds (that would be more than 1.300 in a minute... an absurd).

Art Verdi is ridiculously fast and LOUD. No one is as fast using traditional grip (maybe Buddy). Thrash/Death drummer couldn't stand a candle to this guy (he plays at full speed for more than 1 minute non-stop. Art is ridiculous).

it's not double speed. when you play jazz stuff, toms are usually tight like that. if you think this is double speed, then maybe check out buddy rich because everything he does is for real.
