  • Nice job man. (From Matmachine, Matdav4)

  • Badboy drummer???

    More like Guy Smiley Drummer, but his skillz are amazing, a little too Jazzy for my taste but still fun to watch.

  • showoff

  • nice but dude needs a band

  • He is a BadBoy Drummer, but there was no Groove in his playing JUST JAM MAN!

  • @A0M6J whatttt??? go wash your ears man!!! listen at 1:50, at 1:23!!!! if this is not groove, so what is the groove maestro?? ANSWER US PLEASE, WE are gonna learn from you certainly..

  • @spipiaoudjajikoh Alright fair dews, maybe I wasn't listening properly...

  • great playing, but i don't like his sound!

  • man he is soo good lol

  • crazy^^

  • yeah assaf is pure class, you lot gotta watch some of his others :P

  • 12 - 20 seconds.. wow

  • nice juggling, but why does he wear a headphone ?

  • maybe he has a metronome playing?

  • or maybe for protecting his ear.

  • ur wierd!

  • sport. less music...

  • lool i watched this vid when it had 59 views things changed

  • no, just don't

  • You egomaniac. Only joking.

  • amazing

  • OMG, this was awsome!! Very original!!

  • his name is assaf seewi..

  • that was awesome stuff, tricky beats, excellent rythmn, loved it all

  • cool sticks cool drumming best ever !!!!!!!!!!!

  • woah nice job! what stick is he using? :)

  • The cymbal chokes are very original.

  • that is wiked like all the nice tricks with the drum sticks

  • Wow very well done. Complicated beats with nice stick tricks. I like it =]

  • Cool, what's his name.

  • this is off the chain- you're all idiots if you've been slatin this guy

  • GAY OR NOT BORING OR NOT;HOW MANY OF YOU CAN DO WHAT HE DOES?Good job...

  • Yeah hes fast. but theres no groove whatsoever. bet you he can groove though, hes just needs to get rid of all that tricky bullshit

  • That voodoo he pulls with the congas at :30 is wack, I wish I could do that.

  • el retardo

  • Not Impressed. Very boring basic chopage.

  • GAY

  • he looks like fps doug lol hahah hes awesome

  • holy crap! thats amsing

  • This is one of those jack off Euro guys. Boring unless you're a drummer.

  • He'll go blind if he keeps doing that...

  • WOW

  • when u have just seen/heard a clip og neil pert drum solo, this guy is nothing lol but still nice i quess

  • This guy is no doubt a badass.

    I have two problems. First, his drums sound like crap. That's the same reason why I can listen to Steve Gadd. Second is that everything seems so...machine-like. I mean that's cool, but I'd rather listen to a guy like Stanton Moore or Steve Jordan groove any day.

  • Amen

  • I think podusa never played a drum before (and didn't even hold a stick in his life)! A he doesn't know what "instumental" or "solo" means...

    Show me another drummer that playes as good as Assaf!

  • podusa are u retarded? all of that stuff was in time and played very and he did groove. u try getting that good. i havent seen any drummer with as good technique as much chops and as much as relaxation as this guy. some of the guys on drummerworld i would venture to say can't do most of the stuff this guy does.

  • ...the trouble is that it's not groovin at all. Really boring musically.

  • jonapple speaks wisely

  • bustakeaton your a fucking idiot

  • Being a Bass player there is nothing that I love more than a great drummer. Great job !!!

  • gooood, this is awesome!! very skillful yet musical. let me go burning my sticks ...

  • for all the people that think this is easy, it looks easy, but it isnt. try doing all those sick hi-hat grooves and with different tempo/time. then throw in all those crazy stick twirls and tosses. it isnt easy.

  • this guy really knows his shit im a metal drummer so i play fast and technical but if i were to do a solo id aim for somthin like this except obv. not as good lol and the guys who said he's not as good as joey jordison get a life my god have you heard his solo i hate his over use of double kick it ruins the entire solo as the effect he uses is gash. hey a might even watch this solo again :)

  • @ t1bmxfbm: the drummer of slipknot Joey Jordison doesn't have a technique as good as this guy... When I saw Jordison on a live gig I was really disappointed, his solo was terribly weak ^^

  • makes it look easy.

  • holy shit^^ strange methods xD

  • ok joey is a good drummer for what he does, but have you listened to his solo. double bass paterns and rolls. yey i think most drummers making a comment can do them. what he did takes some talent. but he may not be good in a band such as slipknot.

  • Who cares if Picasso is like Rembrandt? Why compare? Same with drummers or any other form of art or expression. You either like it or you don't - and IF you don't that doesn't necessarily make it bad. It's just not right for you. Whether you dig his style or not, I would think we might agree that he is clearly dedicated to his craft, accomplished and creative. I appreciate him for what he IS.

  • HAHAHAHAH! geez... well... clearly you know alot about music and haircuts then...

  • key is being both like him and joey

  • THIS IS GARBAGE ! !

  • clearly this is supposed to be a disply of technicality and little more. and in terms of showing that, it does very well. If the purpose of this video was to start bitchy pointless arguments, then it has also acheived its purpose.

  • me>all of you

  • Joey Jordison is just a drummer who plays fast and get's far too much credit for it, technicality>speed...<3 Dave Weckl

  • exactly, Joey knows nothing about having a sic pocket.

  • altho it's true that technique is most prominent here, it's a valid proving ground especially for drummers. he gets credit for having a way of getting around the kit, an ear for different grooves, and then some decent phrasing late in the video. he even attempts some jazz, including a late tony williams turnaround lick with his own cymbal work on top. i think he understands that there are more significant talents out there.

    he also spammed to get viewed. lame title too. i don't like that.

  • aaaaah stop comparing everyone to joey jordison. hes just a speed demon metal player

  • i like how this guy plays

    however he is just technic

    also he improvises a lot but i dont get the feel for it

    sorry =/

  • cool chops,no groove...

  • so i guess i'm a bad boy too cuz i can hit everything in 32nd notes?

  • moby dick drum solo i a huck of garbage for one. And can't u assholes who go on the net bashing every dam thing and making comparisons just appreciate?

  • pure technic, no art

  • no such thing as to fast

  • He seems a little bit obsessed with playing fast, which probably stems from practicing too much on his own

  • this is bullshit compared to the Moby Dick drum solo and the one joey jordison drum solo

  • pretty much everything is bullshit compared to Moby Dick

  • this man is good. very talented

  • great job!! love it!

    go check out this awesome singer!! U MUST!!!!

    watch?v=d7OYtP2DndQ

    Heetopie, Priestley, neo soul

  • gay... I searched for Johnny Winter and this came up. Cool vid but stop putting unrelated words into the description so you can get views. Fucking d-bag

  • yamaha drums the best...great drummer too.

  • Stewart Copeland & Neil Peart make drum kits actually TALK because they put their SOUL into it and this is nothing they can teach him to. Good this kid is young and can still learn.

  • The man got some crazy hands

  • nice job

  • where;s the one,mi hermano???

  • who is this???

  • He has emotion! Watch all of his videos! He just still relax. For other drummers some of his exersices are very difficult. That is why they looks so "emotional"!

    When you shake and nervous... it doesn't mean - emotions!

  • MUY BUENO!

  • he does to many tricks, he shows off alot, but he has skill.

  • wow hes darn good

  • ok this guy's great no question about that but could u ever see him in a band, its the bonhams which do it for me not this guy he reminds of cheating the drums

  • what sticks is he using

  • amazing technique.... dude has obvuiously done his homework. But I personally prefer to play grooves that make girls dance.

  • Yeah he's a good drummer, anyone can see that, but I got bored watching him half way through, it's because he has no emotions, his drumming doesn't send a good vibe, he need's rhythm and soul.

  • i do agree with you hes got amazing skill but he needs to show emotion for it. But i will disagree with you he does have pretty good rhythnm

  • But he has no soul, it's what makes drumming.. drumming.

  • Yes! He is good and so MUSICAL! He is not just drum machine! I think this guy will become popular worldwide very fast!

  • damn he's good

  • he needs to slow down once in a while, play some groove

  • yep

  • of course hes really good, obviously you can see that, but as stated before... no soul at all. no feel or emotion or anything, hes just hitting things with sticks and thats all there is to it. YES, HE IS A GOOD DRUMMER, im not saying hes bad, but he cant make the drums sing

  • that was some crazy shit right there

  • he's good, but he sounds shit because he plays a Yamaha...!

  • Yeah, he has amazing chops and stick tricks and all that, but he has no feel in it. Yes, he's way better than me, but try adding a little soul to it for christsake.

  • Yea I dunno what's up with all you jealous drummers saying he sucks. He's fucking-A good! Better than any I've seen.

  • He is damn good fucking shutup and go fuck your mum all you fuckwits saying he cant play you all suck cock

  • Dude, your a jackass. I would like to find out what tick with the bottom of my foot. Maybe that would cause you to obtain a better grasp of the english language. I really do not think he is that great either but who really cares.

  • he has no feel!! none at all!

  • What I hate about this guy is he KNOWS how good he is.. You can see it in his face.. That smile just says "Yeah, I am so much better than you." Even if he is, to have that cocky-ass attitude automatically makes you a shitty musician. Period.

  • Or maybe he's smiling because he enjoys drumming...

  • how does the snare sound band? he doesn't play heavy drumming. his snare is perfect for jazz, fusion, swing, light rock, and other situations. but it would work great anywhere. some people tune their snares so that they have a huge attack and fast decay (for a snare, that is), whilst others, such as assaf, tune it so it responds at very low volumes. that's especially good for rolls and drags and all of that stuff, but i'm just dragging on...

  • What is the name of the drummer huh? he is good and he has another video he has a bassis that is nurdy but verry good also the name of the video is comedy come see it

  • I bet all the people critizising him can't play half as well (im looking at u themadcrapper). Be he a musician or a drummer or whatever, he's damn good.

  • Those drums sound amazing for yamaha... they sound just like my pearl masters ^_^

  • this is kinda sweet drumming... he's fast and accurate but he can only play samba and latino drums sorta.. maybe he should learn to play other musicstyles as well..

  • This is probably his demo video to promote himself for hire.

  • This is very entertaining, but I bet he would be bored as hell playing as an element in a group. Kinda reminds me of masturbating... self serving and only gets the doin' off!

  • nice ... i cant say more

  • Not going to knock it your good but as was said on the topic of "skills" such as these:

    A main stream player had just finished a short workshop and asked for questions, One idiot said,

    "Can you twirl you sticks?"

    He replied whilst twirling, "yes i can, but i was in the studio yesterday and i was messing around with some stick tricks, during one track, and you know what? you couldn't hear it on record..."

    It's the music that counts not teh Drummer.

  • Dude is doing live jungle drumming, that's f-in' sweet

  • There are 2 types of players. Musicians and drummers. Which category do you think this dude fits into ? mmmm good question eh ? hahahah

  • hey's kinda sloppy...

  • Whats the name of this drummer??

  • assaf seewi

  • dude iss GREAT

  • pointless showing off.

  • What a bum. Hahaha...

    That's some pretty cool shit. He should do something with the Vic Wooten and Futureman. Or me.

  • yeah he s fuckin good , even had like 2 seconds of double basshahah oh yeah dont forget the blast beats, i wont take anything from that dude but look at fuckin black or death metal drummers, those guys own this dude anyday look at Marduk's drummer Emil Dragutinovic or the bad Vomitory, I could go on and on

  • i think the film has been speeded up, even so, amazing!

  • This is the weirdest drummer i have ever seen- hes a great drummer but i watch him and its like watching a magician not a drummer- its weird

  • lol, yeah.. I agree. I think that's because he's more of an entertainer than a musician. He's just showing off..

  • th

  • nowhere !

  • this shit is boring

  • the snare sounds like shit

  • he has to pratise more ;)

  • no se por k siento que todos los imbeciles bateristas que ven videos de joe o de este imbecil assaf creen que son dioses....simplemente vean a dave weckl el si es un buen baterista echo y derecho y valen madre todos ustedes putos gringitos d emierda mejor ponganse a estudiar notas y no piensen que la velocidad lo es todo

  • Very good groove, but i preffer Rodney Holmes.

  • yeahh its true if you think about it

  • people that really know about drums know that it does not mean shit who is "Better".guys have different styles and skills that is what makes drumming a true artform!

  • is it possible too play better than him

  • hey people! if you can really play better than this guy, post a video response and PROVE IT!!

  • parece un malavarista O.o

  • brent u can suck my dick...i doubt u know shit about drums....i acn probably play faster then u...but just the snare...im a retard at everything else...thats y i lpay guitar

  • tony royster jr is miles better ( dunno about the bongos)

  • you don't know the first thing about drums

  • i'd appreciate it more if it wasn't for that smug "i've got a small penis" grin on his face while he's playin

  • nicccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccce

  • This guy is famous for doing this circus things, but I still wonder: how musical is that? Nice video!

  • I do that shit in my sleep

  • Keep playing the drum and bass!

  • I keep this video on my computer desktop, and watch it once a week. I think it's a great example of how to play the drums without any other instruments involved, and make them sound like music. This video reminds me of what drums can sound like when they're PLAYED.

  • Nice for Eletronic Music or Cirque du Soleil.

    Too bad for Rock and Roll.

    I prefer Buddy Rich as showman percusionist.

  • Hi Assaf it's me Mario Monaco you sound GREAT !!!!

  • I would agree with the bad part in the title.

  • this human????

  • To MasuraoX1, you obviously do not play any instrument, or don't play one very well, because you don't understand a little thing called dynamics (sp?) drummer that always pounds as hard as possible = shit.

  • MasuraoX1 hahhhaahhahahahahhahaha! :D your way too funny to even know why :D

  • to all you critics out there: How come you're not posting this quality of work? put up or shut up kids.

  • I can't believe the sour grapes from other drummers. The man is excellent. He's not trying to pour everything he knows into one solo . . . he's merely grooving a bit and showing off with some flash. Hey, all you other vain, egocentric (and jealous) drummers, give the dude his props. Some of you sound like sissy guitar players.

  • instruments are amazing. No matter how many songs I've played or listened to I can still appreciate a drum, a horn, or string instrument.

  • He plays like a puss the whole way. I mean I admire your control and everything, but at least hit the damn drums like you mean it sometimes. >.<

  • i don't see anything in the drumming rulebook that you have to beat the shit out of everything every time you hit it. what he is doing is called good technique. he is very relaxed and obviously playing with very little tension.

  • Just a couple of interesting things he (the drummer) learned individualy that lasts for 2 seconds and then repeats itself. And then, it dies. I've never seen anything else available from "Assaf"... just this one with a couple of very good grooves and some very short repeated (creative but easy) tricks. He could not entertain me for 8 minutes in a roll with different ideas and sick coordination like Buddy, but he's surely good. No doubt.

  • It took me 2 years to come to this video and post a coment, but here it goes...

  • One one will be a thousand time better than Buddy. Remember Buddy was professional at 4 years old. This is guy is talented but how many big bands has the led?

  • so many drummers, so little time.... i mean pocket

  • It really isn't that impresive, but he would definitely fit in with a rock band as he is a pretty entertaining drummer with all the twirls and all.

  • a very nervous guy

  • he isnt my style.

    but he has to be one of the best i have heard.

    dang he is really talented.

  • i don't like his style... but he plays a lot

  • hes 1000 times better than buddy rich!

  • 1000 times?

    Buddy Rich?

    why not.. A BILLION TIMES BETTER!!!

    I hate people like you.

  • awesomo

  • I didn't know they did D&B raves with real drummers! lol

  • listen to jojo mayer

  • this is pretty awesome and to all the people that said stuff like "you're not famous so you can't be good, i've never heard of you' some of the best musicians are the obscure ones that either never got a break or don't want to be famous, and yes he does groove.

  • Yes, thank you.

  • imagine what this guy could do with 4 hands!! great...

  • you're no neil peart buddy, keep practicing

  • so he can drum solo, but can he make good music??dont think so... never herd of him. join a band and call me. tlee

  • the grooving he did here basically proves that he can play in a bad. like some of the stuff werent just soloing - you could have put it to music
