My man keeping that jersey/Philly gospel sound in his playing. Still amazing. Love it!!!
That ride groove was dope
My favorite part🔥🔥🔥
That is a hell of a snare sound! Love it.
The ride part just blows me away. Music speaks, and even if you aren't aware of the technical difficulty of what he is doing, this is art :) subtle details that gives me shivers!
Ah... dat sick 6/8 groove at 2:45... been waiting for this track to come out since I first heard a sample of it in a Mapex Saturn IV promo video... keep up the awesome work bro

Do you know what groove he is playing on the ride?

kinda has a n.e.r.d. feel when he does the ride and snare pattern
Is this the black panther phatbob snare? Sounds incredible!!!
wwwwooowwwww awesome
Take off ✈️
does anyone know what that last groove is?? I would like to learn it.
2:45 ya boi. Honestly didn't like this track but I enjoy your work very much
Great technique. i would like very much to download/buy the track/s you are playing on. do you have a link plz?!
Can someone plz tell me the name of this track
can anyone work out the pattern he's playing at the end??
Is there anyway I can download that backing track?
What is the crash on his left side?
Awesome playing. Is he playing a MyDentity series kit? I just want to make sure, it really looks like one.
i believe its a saturn
saturn IV series possibly
Yes I have figured out it is a Saturn IV. I for some reason didn't think it came in that finish it looked like one from the MyDentity line.
What kind of Evans snare head is that?
YHEEEEE Ape Jan
The Drumeo studio version of this is much better. A more gritty and raw, but fuller set of cymbals were used
what kind of snare is that
What kind of foot pedal is that?!
Whats Name of Song?
What track ?
I love crispy, clean ass playin.
I enjoy pocket players. I'm one of them myself
What is the name song?
Anybody know where can we get a hold of that track?
He composed it....
who knows what sticking on 2:45?
What ride is that?
A Zildjian Sweet Ride, the 21". Pretty great cymbal, crashes fantastically, great bell, but can still get a nice amount of stick definition.
Anyone know the specs on the ride?
+Godessence as far as I know, it's a Zildjian Sweet Ride, 21"
What's that little china splash thing he's got? Proper tasty.
you know!
In another video he talks about his stack being a 14" EFX custom on bottom, 14" oriental china in the middle, and a trashformer on top. Hope this helps!
i think its zildijan A series 10'' splash
02:45 shit just got real
Anyone know the sticking to the crazy ostinato he plays from 2:45 onwards?
Seems like a single stroke roll in his core.. You'll have to learn the Right hand pattern and then fill the the space with some left handed ghost notes. 🤔
But it seems to have doubles as well
Anyone know the right hand pattern?... Beyond my perceptive powers😂
Its clave de bembe, its an african clave in 6 8 feel used in afrocuban folckloric music also, look it up
Arjun Aurora its clave de bembe, look it up
bad mon, dirty ending.
rashid
What kinda batter head's that?
Evans EC2S clear
yogi357 I meant snare batter, sorry for not specifying. I actually feel the toms with the clear ec2s are kinda choked
:)
im done
You can tell he grew up playing gospel
his rimshot sounds like a cross stick *O*
It's tuned very tight and dampened. That's the effect: almost clap-like
Какая-то скучная и занудная музыка.
