  • @wtwrush I've been playing drumset for 8 years, but only started jazz about 2 years ago. I have actually been doing mostly quarter notes throughout the song (though we only make it about 2 and a half minutes - only one lengthy solo), tossing in some eighth notes here and there. Also, the bass part does a two-beat feel at some parts, so I mimic that with the ride cymbal, even throwing in some punk rock inspiration (D-beats, specifically). Don't worry, you're not condescending here ;D.

  • @browncoat697 Well keep in mind, he isn't playing hard, he's playing really lightly actually. Also,(I dont know how advanced you are, so excuse me if this comes off as condescending) he isn't playing exact swing. My best strategy for keeping up with fast stuff like this is just playing quarters most of the time, and fitting in two eighth notes in the pattern when I feel I can. If you can play quarter notes at 280 then you'll be fine. Again, sorry if you already knew that.

  • How in the hell does the drummer last through 8 minutes of 280 beats per minute bebop?! I'm exhausted after our 3 minute version. This guy should do death metal in his spare time, he obviously has the endurance for it.

  • @CocaineRubish nope

    hes insane, We won the nationwide championship like a million times

  • @folsomjazz bullshit?

  • we play this at 300 bpm in middle school

  • @BillyWillis89 We certainly did! Really nice guy though. A little crazy but you have to be if you are a musician hahaha :-).

  • @Quizian You must have one very confident middle school director!

  • I played this in middle school at 220 bpm. It was extremely difficult at that age. It was a lot of fun though.

  • hopefully someone records the CYJO doing this ...
