  • yah check it

    watch?v=UIxWyIWMCcQ

  • Superb Man!

  • you re amazing man you have a band dont you? anyway i like you drum solo of jazz

  • Excellent drum solo! I love jazz :)

  • no offense dude but u dont look like a jazz drummer more of a metal but hey man ur amazing love it

  • Well done!

  • @vancouvercanucks23 playing real jazz is only doable if you can play with the "feel" which I'm not saying you don't have, but it's something you really have to pay attention to and not pay attention to at the same time. not a very good description i know, but to make it sound right it's all about the touch. work on the shuffle pattern on the ride (spang spang a lang), kick (on the quarter note... very softly), and the hihat comped on the 2 and 4

  • Te recomiendo que no uses mucho ride... tienes una buena bateria ...trabaja duro amigo....bien ..excelente sonido

  • LOVE the hats! ... Great sound, man.

  • What ride is this?

  • for some reason i cant play jazz but im good at a lot of other genre like ska, rock ect but i cant play jazz and i really want to learn

  • That was really good, I didn't feel the jazz in it, but it was still very good.

  • This is mad good man. Really like your style of playing.

  • @smpawlik why do people like this comment they can't understand what you are saying.

  • bit . ly/jerku

  • so niceeeee

    cant really understand the haters that claim that this sucks

  • i look at it this way.... if you're not from new orleans, you cant play TRUE jazz and this guy isnt from new orleans.

  • @frenchadrian Thats f-ing bullsh-t

  • @frenchadrian That has to be the weirdest comment I've seen recently...and you see a lot of weird stuff on Youtube. Was Miles from N.O? What about Tony Williams? Ornette? What about all the greats born NY/elsewhere? What a stupid comment, I mean really...WTF? Anyway, this really isn't jazz per se. It's his own 'rock' version and that's all cool, but you could not EVER work using that style and sound properly. Same goes the other way around though. A strict jazz snob would suck ass at rock.

  • Brilliant

  • Well ill be the first to admit i didn't like jazz. Major metal head and didn't like it at all till I started to play bass and drums. You really learn to appreciate it after that and learn how difficult it really is to learn and understand. By the way i LOVE your snare

    =)

  • beautiful job bro

  • damn great techniqe

  • That sounds pretty good (5/5)

    but i don´t like this style of music

  • Very good!!!!!!Thank you!!

  • i play in athrash metal band and have been playing for 6or 7 years and i'm only 16 but i'm trying to learn jazz to improve my chops btw your realy good

  • lol ur trash then xD (got the pun?)

    hint: my basssaxofonist (is that a word?) prefers me keeping the snare off the 2, and just giving some taps now and then.

    and communication is also very important in jazz

    Goodluck with ur jazz, i played pretty much only rock etc. before my jazz "career". cya!

  • same man!

    I have been playing since I was 13 but I have tought my self all these years I am only now taking lessons to improve what I have already learned!

    P.S youtube videos goes a long way in learning things ;)

  • greattt!!! like Gar Samuelson!!

  • meh...

  • I would like to learn how to play jazz in order to improve my skills because i just play rock

    what bands o songs should i listen??

  • esbjörn svennson trio, dave brubeck, the five corners quintet or some of the other illions of jazz bands ;).

  • @gpr9742 dave brubeck. MMW

  • IMPRESIONANTE

  • love the technique and ideas

    but the drums sound over eq-ed

  • good job

  • Take that back, I needed to turn up my volume.

  • When you actually start developing a feel you kill it. For someone with such nuanced technique you really don't know how to put some soul into what you play.

  • I dont know why everyone hates A customs for jazz, this guy proves they can sound amazing in jazz!

  • @DiobloHunter

    amazing?

    i think it is amazing for you... brilliant cymbals gives hate to this sound ... deepness.. dark sounds.. and lots of things.. if you want to play jazz (not fusion) a customs are not giving really deep sound..beacuse they are brilliant...

    i am big zildjian fun.. but you must choose your cymbals for your style.. if you want to play some traditional,modal... u must use dark and hand hammered.. feel the sound inside first..

  • looks good but theo derkan made this original piece bak in 69

  • ahaha nice one smpawlik he prolly doesn't even get it. lmao

  • whats the matter with 4 toms?!?!?!

  • @drumplayer4th hell, i play with only 3 and a snare tom. nothing is wrong, just make it sound good.

  • u got a nice tom sound

  • he's got a nice pair of toms

  • what i mean is, that his toms has a great sound, not that its odd he has 4

  • are u fucking stupid?

  • no the guy above me said he's got a nice pair of toms. i though it was a titty joke

  • Comment removed

  • Very very cool

  • You have my dream drum set

  • pretty cool :)

  • I love you.

  • uuuu ... Yeha !!! Good !!!

  • nice drumming dude

  • the unfortunate thing about the a customs is that they only really sound good when vinnie colaiuta plays them for some reason

  • hahaha dude i agree

    i played them once and i expected much more. I think is the equalitation from vinnies videos.

  • My ears disagree with your statement.

  • that's fair, but it's a matter of oppinion. i wouldn't use the ride or hihat for jazz.

  • Yeah A customs are way to bright and modern for jazz

  • yeah i agree k custom and just the armands are great for jazz in my opinion

  • i agree wid rdxl9a. i liked it twas nice n relaxed i liked the open hand techneq when bouncin from snare to hats lokd very satisfyin n it was nice n lose n relaxed which is wat jazz is about to me neway

  • you no many people havent noticed but you have like mad as dynamical control and thats hard no matter wat anyone says ur heaps good man keep it up :)

  • You know what, that sounded pretty darn good to me. Way better then anything I can play. Drumming like life is a work in progress, I am not sure why people have to be so negative about this, so congradulations if you play better yourself, shouldn't diminish what this guy is doing. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism, but why the negativity.

    Just my opinion.

  • @rdxl9a I realize your comment is 1 year old - but you expressed what I was feeling...we both feel that there is a tactful way to suggest changes/improvement (e.g., "constructive criticism")...interestingly, perhaps most (maybe ALL) drummers need to recall their own beginnings when they couldn't even keep a steady rhythm/beat...I used to tape myself (back in the mid 70's - I started in late 1973) - and all I have to do is listen to one of my old tapes to remind myself how far I've come!

  • fck you men damn sh!t.....

  • cool rhythmic patterns... could've done way better though :(

  • 3 years old

  • im sure u can u fucking idiot :p post it then if your so good

  • Your battery sounds very good and you play well the other thing is that

  • Comment removed

  • drab is the word. no splash, or pizzaaaaaaz. just not feelin' this one. and that anemic ending was even more anti-climatic.

    checking out his other stuff, to be fair.

    seems a nice guy and a hard worker,

    but drumming critique is my business.

  • lol speedoflite1: "drumming critique is my business." - What an arsehole...

  • Anthole ...business is very good jr. lol

  • Ah ok lol

    Sorry, I'm french, I don't understand english very well

    +

  • Polishcomedy ...

    lol

    You don't know jazz ...

  • LeylaFonRio ...

    lol

    You don't know sarcasm ...

    p.s. Lars Ulrich is the best bossa nova drummer on the planet

  • some of these jazz drummers are actually really talented becuse they can play diffrent timings on each hand!

  • i absolutely agree... how does one manage different timings on each hand? Ne1 know any tips?

  • Mild Autism. Partial ADHD. Pro-ness. Practice? Idk, for some drummers it comes naturally. Like the bass drum beats and such.

  • if u find any tips...plz msg me lol.

  • Perfect : )

  • nice.. awesome clips,wonder if you do any Rush covers?

  • hope so

    that would be awesome

  • Nice job ;D

  • nice patterns on the ride dude. It'd be cooler if you could sit a beat for longer though; it tends to get a little messy. otherwise nice job.

  • you fuck your own sister? iknow people get a bit desperate but your SOMETHING ELSE

  • This dude rocks.

  • Sweet deal batman. Your great

  • i don't know if you had a song in your head while you played this, but this isn't really solo jazz set material. its good, but it would be better under a melody or something.

  • i love it =)

  • i don´t like too much the sound of your snare... doesn´t remind me a jazz sound

  • not the snare for jazz... what so ever

  • this dude is jamming...cant you see?

    he is enjoying himself, thats all that matters. its not about which genre is better or whos better and why...its about enjoying yourself playing drums.

  • hey man, you got chops, but stick to metal or fusion

  • probably need to practice the jazz a bit more dude.

    Keep it up though.

    :)

  • congratulations, you play good (:

  • What a talent! You are a MUSICIAN, Tight. Composed. I still think you're holding out on us. You've developed a fan base in case you haven't noticed. Hope you're in a band. You're professional plus. I

    am weak.

  • man how do you get your toms to sound like that ?

  • incredible mics

  • incredible (expensive) toms

  • good job !

    I like it !

  • UR TOMS SOUND SO "WARM"! How do u tune ur toms?

  • the reason why i dont like jazz drumming is cause its boring to me. i love metal drummers such as well ill name the bands, children of bodom, nile, arch enemy, arsis, anterior and so forth

  • isn't rock drumming like oh nvm

  • is it because they play uber fast? i mean i like those bands but at least appreciate how much skill this takes. (nile drummer is incredible(saw him live(did a drum solo for his sound check(i couldn't breath after))))

  • I will admit this does take skill, no doubt about it. i like metal drumming because most of those drummers, have been playing drums every day for 5 hours for 10 years to where they are just now "able" to play metal music, most guitarist in metal also have played for years, most of them also come from music colleges, arsis, they all came from berklee, darren cesca left the band to become a surgeon, no other genre can say that about themselves

  • my guitar teacher has been playing jazz guitar for 20 years now. he can also play metal but he doesnt enjoy it as much because most of metal guitaring is pretty rekless and can get boring. basically people train very hard to do all soughts of music. metal is just one of thoughs.

  • you say this as if you don't have to do that for other genres?

    it is in my (humble) opinion as a drummer that jazz is the most difficult genre to drum to. however, i tend not to rate difficulty to the genres because, basically, any drummer of any skill level will play all genres with varying degrees of success, and there is no skill 'cap.' you could practice ANY genre for 10 hours a day and get freakishly good at it.

  • I can attest to that ..I'm a computer engineer with a bioengineering minor from Uof Toronto and into technical death metal drumming . Been drumming since gr 8 ( so yeah , around 11 years on my belt). Yanic Bercier (Quo Vadis) is an engineer and has a pHd degree in medical physics..that guys been an inspiration.I'll be giving drumming a bit higher priority when I'm done with my education.

  • You're right, only metalheads are geniuses. Only dudes who play power chords really fast can be surgeons and rocket scientists and hold law degrees. Finally someone speaks the truth. I'm so sick of those idiotic jazz, latin, fusion, flamenco, bluegrass, etc. type mongoloids acting like their music is hard. Long live power chording and blast beating..REAL INTELLIGENT music!!!

  • amen to that... thumbs up to evil and polish... at least you guys understand. whenever i want to go pet dick ill listen to jazz

  • i'm just tired of it. It's like you said, metal guitarists/drummers play 5 hours a day for 10 years and go to college, whereas these fucktard jazz guys could never get into any school considering they probably only practice 1 hour a week for like 3 years before playing over easy songs like John Coltrane's "Giant Steps". lolol..fuckin n00bs. \m/ long live GOOD bands like dragonforce, immortal, kingdom come, job for a cowboy, etc. who actually go to prestigious schools and PRACTICE.

  • Lol The ironic part of your comment is that you Consider DragonForce a good band ... haha..

  • LOL that's totally true, polishcomedy NEEDS to hear them live at a concert...it's like guitar hero when u miss all the notes ,and jazz it's actually pretty difficult

  • which makes Jazz kinda hard and metal a lot easier, in my opinion.

    Good cover, although it sounded like a rock solo at some parts. Really liked the ritme you played on the ride ;)

  • jazz blues and metal are the hardest style of music i think

  • Yeah right! I agree with LeylaFonRio.

  • hahahahahhahahahahahahahahhaha­hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah­ahahahahahaha NO.

  • you fucking moron. look up the word sarcasm, and then look up using sarcasm towards the original idiotic poster. metal sucks. over and out.

  • stupid inbred fucktar then u need ton look for the word TONE , it's hard to define it while writting you stupid, plus, alexaxxem was supportingyou dumbass, so how can i get the sarcasm¿

  • Sorry, I was busy fucking my sister, or I would have gotten back to you sooner. I'm not sure I understand what you said...something about "fucktar", "ton look", "you stupid", and "supportingyou".

  • O_0 "fucking my sister"? i didn't understand what you said...i meant "tard2 "to look", you stupid ****" and the las one is obvious, you just don't know how to comeback

  • yes i do, i came on your mom's back last night

  • really?? was it after or before you fucked your sister??

  • Dragonforce and miley cyrus are the only good metal bands \m/

  • Fuck off, dick, Dragonforce sucks.

  • False. Dragonforce all studied at Julliard and are masters of jazz fusion and bluegrass. My favorite Latin percussionist is Lars Ulrich, but you wouldn't know nuthin 'bout dat.

  • They speed up their solos in the studio, and they suck live.

  • False. They actually play faster than what's on record. They slow down their solos in the studio using Pro Tools. As far as live you were probably drunk and so your perception was that they were sloppy.

  • The guitarists even admitted they just started playing a couple years ago. They will play one part then go back and overdub then speed it up. Have you seen them live? They have to have backup tracks playing so it sounds like their albums. They are fake. Trust me I thought they were badass too until I found that shit out.

  • what they bring to the table is much more important then what they have in their head.

  • Hahaha Everyone knows Dragonforce isn't real metal! xD

  • Hard to tell if you're joking...Haha

    But if not, they run about as many filters on their sound as a typical Hip-Hop artist...And always sound basically the same, with a little variation. Lol

  • Dragonforce are actually masters of hip-hop, too. They were nominated in the Source Awards 3 times.

  • That's because jazz drummers have a life...

  • i like it

  • you are not a jazz drummer your a funk drummer

  • wat kind of snare is that?

  • the hard part about jazz is that u have to hit as light as u can on the ride

  • That's not true at all. You don't have to hit light on the ride unless your going for a light sound, just like in any other kind of music. The hard part about jazz is that its all improvisational.

  • Abssolutely false. Jazz is all about cymbals. Rock is all about snare and bass drum... but if you play too much of it in jazz, you sound like a rocker that tries to play jazz, ready from book, instead of listening to the greats...

  • Great playing!

  • v nice

  • how many bpm?

  • i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the sound of your set!!! i would give anything for a set like that

  • wonderful pattern!!!!

  • most shit is harder than metal lol coz half the time metal is 2 different beats with a bit of double bass

  • I think it primarily depends on the drummer really. Some drummers just suck and can't do anything, others can take the most simple of music and make it a masterpiece.

    But yeah, jazz is tricky, and that's why a lot of metal drummers actually do incorporate jazz principles into their drumming.

  • You cant generalize metal though I think the drummers in lighter stuff lacks skill (Metallica, Maiden,Zepplin and the other ancient stuff that people praise so much) However, Technical Death Metal and a lot of Brutal Death metal have drummers that are competent in Jazz as well as Death metal.Try Quo Vadis,Necrophagist,Cryptopsy,N­ile ,Origin, and a lot of other ones that have really amazing drummers.

  • I can't believe you just implied that "the drummer" from Zeppelin "lacked skill".

  • Well I didn't say he lacked skill.I said that his skill is nowhere close to the drummers of the bands I mentioned above.He's good at what he does, but not someone I would look up to. Give him some song from Ithyphallic to cover and watch him shit bricks and the same goes with the drummers of the lighter sub-genre's of metal.Metallica wont last even 5 seconds with the extreme sub-genre's.

  • Bonzo was very solid, but he wasn't the best.

    He did create some amazing grooves, and enhanced drumming. Musicians today like Weckl, Royster Jr., Jojo Mayer, Horcaio Hernedez, I can go on forever. He was very solid, and creative.

    But the not the best, people are brainwashed that Bonzo is the best.

  • you have to be kidding me evil666man666, John Bonham (the drummer from Zeppelin) grew up playing jazz. He wouldnt shit bricks, he would make you shit in your pants after you saw him play. -_-

  • Jazz and technical death metal are two totally different things.Similar in difficulty but totally different in execution. He wont last more than 5 seconds with some Nile song for instance.

  • yeah, Metal does require a lot more skill than classic bands...

    and a skilled metal drummer really makes the band, but you're talking about a genre where the drums are used as tools for eardrum obliteration instead of adding color to the ensemble...

    just because they don't have a solo every song doesn't mean that their skills are sub-par. I'm sure if John Bonham learned and played a more metal style, he would obliterate

  • I was replying to evilman's comment on how classic metal drummers (most of who influenced many modern metal drummers, mind you) aren't as skilled as today's brutal drummers...something like that

  • Agree on this, for instance Lars Ulrich may have influences modern metal drummers, but his skills cant be compared to theirs imo (newer ones being better) though i think that Jazz drummers are the most skillful

  • great!

  • u gotta nice set man great sound, and great drumming too

  • wow.

  • jazz drumming is way underestimated, its harder than metal drumming and u did great

  • waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay harder

  • great :)

  • wow, awesome job man!
