    I’m incredibly proud to see these two on stage together. It was a pleasure working with Alex on notating and editing his new book with Ramon. Both of these two are ahead of their time with their concepts and techniques. Ramon’s grace and control in one hand destroy what I can do in my entire body, and Alex’s multi-limb independence and slide doubles on the feet are beyond exceptional. Great work, you guys!

    Two of my biggest inspirations in technique. Alex has some of the most insane coordination of any human being I've ever seen. I'm really hoping Ramon's popularization of push-pull revolutionizes the drumming community as a whole. Imagine if push-pull was taught in the formative years of the greats we know today!!!

    Ramone’s (incredible) technique reminds me a lot of pick slanting on guitar when slight relaxed thumb and wrist movement and rotation combined will help you get through strings in full alternate picking, increasing your speed significantly

    Well . . . the old debate: technique for the sake of music on the one hand, and technique for its own sake on the other. I do admire the limb independence Cohen has achieved but a lot of his playing sounds like calisthenics. Ramon plays music while expanding the technical possibilities of the instrument. A master.

    • @aylexmusic
      @aylexmusic 9 місяців тому +3

      TBF most of the stuff doesn't *directly* translate, but the indirect translation is what's important. Playing crazy stuff like patterns in 11 on the left side and 13 on the right or something isn't something you'll hear on the radio, but the contribution to limb independence something THAT mentally taxing provides is insane. He plays some killer metal drums in actual musical context.

    • @WxkR
      @WxkR 9 місяців тому +6

      @@aylexmusic I do not disagree, and think Cohen’s presentation would’ve benefited from a more musically contextualizad performance (a metal/progressive track as you mention). However, we could also be questioning Montagner’s push-pull technique applicability if he had not developed it to the point he has. Maturity is a big factor here and I’m not sure if it’s only bc Montagner has worked longer on his ideas or because he more consciously and explicitly links them to a rhythmic tradition. That aside, I see now a bunch of talented drummers working on the direction set by people like Harrison, Minnemann, and Hessler. Cohen is among them, so I do not see a contribution as substantial from him as the one I see from Montagner whose technical contribution is acknowledged even by the most accomplished Brazilian drummers. I can see his pull-push technique becoming a “requirement” for the next generation of drummers, regardless of genre.
