Hello there!
It’s finally here, my drum playthrough of our latest release ‘24 Light-Years’ from our upcoming album ‘Witness’!
This song has a quite intense stack-groove which I think some of you might find interesting. It’s a strong contrast against the soft and open vibe of the song.
What makes this groove so special to me is the fact that it’s an idea that I developed a few years ago, and it was turned into a VOLA song afterwards. If you dig deep enough on my socials, you might find an old clip of this specific groove 😇
I hope you’ll enjoy this playthrough! Let me know what you think!
Best wishes,
Adam Janzi
You’re a master.
Brother! The skill! The timing! The absolute energy! I love the way you carry the beat with ghost notes and your dry cymbals make me wanna cry they sound so good! Adam, you’re a freaking genius and make me wanna play the drums better.
This is a Beautiful groove Adam! The way the drums contrast with the very soft beginning makes this special. Love the hi-hats and the ghost notes! So tastefully done!
Cheers!
Dustin W
man, this is one of the best drumlines for a soft song ive ever heard its absolutely mindblowing and i appreciate the creativity you had to create it and then to even take it. i am in a band too and everybody creates cool stuff but as its usual in a band we dont take every single idea from each member everytime cause it just doesnt work for a song sometimes (wich is totally normal) im just glad that your bandmates felt that groovy drumline for this song too and nobody was like "naah thats a cool drumline! ..but for a differnt song maybe" you know what i mean haha :)
Absolute class! Love your style of playing, your beats and your sound. Inspiring!
Gavin Harrison said in some video, that in a band it's everybodys job to keep the time. It's the drummers job to make the time interesting.
This is what it means. What a creative beat!
Even the beats after that intro one are awesome. he just has great feel, and the drum tone is perfect
As of today Shia Labeouf is my favorite drummer
This comment can't be upvoted enough.
Bruh 😂
I thought the same HAHAHAHAHA
youre gonna like Alex Bent of Trivium
LOL o though the same
I hate this for the pure fact that even with video I can't tell what Adam's doing in that groove 😂
Haha;)
Me neither! This definitely deserves a lesson video.
For real! Need a camera on those feet too!
Well I guess it depends on where you feel the beat. It feels like 32nd notes within a slow quarter pulse, however, I transcribed it as 16th notes in 4/2 time. :) Really excited to cover this song! Phenomenal writing Mr. Janzi!
He put out a video teaching the groove in slowmo!
this is such a well written song on drums
it's full of stuff, but not busy, it just goes well with the echoing theme of the song, and is so so so groovy. and during the chorus is opens up but hits even harder
this song makes me tear up sometimes because of its theme, it's lyrics, but I'll always love it's amazing drums.
going through a big vola phase rn and this is still so true
I found a lot more songs to like but this song is something truly special.
The drums on this track are just incredible and it is so wholesome to see someone who is so obviously in love with their art and craft. The groove takes hold of you man and never let’s go.
Very well said, couldn't agree more!
If that track was any sweeter, I'd have diabetes.
LOL
I just looove the drums on this track. That was the first thing that really stood out to me. Amazing work, Adam!
This is the song that got me into Vola!
Made my drummer listen to this. He said it was too busy so I threw him into traffic. Now I need a new drummer. Anyways, great stuff man! Much love from Minnesota!
I'm from Iowa, if you need a new drummer 😝
Was it because he couldn't figure out how to play the first beat? lol
Seriously though, it's busy, but never overshadows the song. Complex, but not just for the sake of it.
Sounds like he plays drums but isn’t a drummer.
He plays what? Avril songs?
@@thedeadkeepitmetalcoversthat’s what’s incredible about this guy. It IS busy, but it’s subtle and incredibly effective. It’s often easy to miss until you start listening closer. His pockets have pockets.
From now on i will send this to everyone that says drums are just noise. Absolutely beautiful phrasings!
Your hanging with the wrong crowd if your hearing that ! ;)
Oh they're just noise.
The noise that's keeping whatever the hell they're listening to afloat usually 😂
They didn't know and just talking without to listen...
These dudes are so talented.
So are you:)
Honestly, your facial expressions while playing are amazing. It feels like you twitch to every specific beat in a very original way. You're totally feeling the song. Love it.
Also, as someone who just listened to the song for the first time, I did not expect that type of groove at the beginning. Very unique as well. Great job!
When someone programs an impossible midi drum track and challenges you to play it.
🙏🙌🙏
Ive been waiting for this, the drums were amazing on the song
Thank UA-cam for the x0.75 option. Reminds me of The Contortionist's "Language" (the pulsating guitar, and I had to slow down there too to fully appreciate the drums work).
Great job!
I have never seen a drummer looking so happy while doing what he is doing...fantastic guy, world-class drumming (to me, he's in a line with Martin Axenrot, Martin López, Mark Zonder, Gavin Harrison, Craig Blundell...) , brilliant song, great band....can't wait for the album....
Maybe you should watch a drum playthrough from shadow of intent's new drummer, he looks even happier! :D
Texturing with cymbals and ghost notes is stellar. The groove is evident and intact, and works. It would be busy and inappropriate if AJ countered the riff or was not syncopated....such a strong rhythmic presence...my new favorite metal drummer next to Zev from Spirit Box....this is the new generation of metal...thank you!
Amazing!!! much love from United States, Florida
Adam is quickly becoming a legend. One of the greats. Keep moving forwards and the plaudits will follow!
Been loving each of these singles you guys have been putting out. Any chance you will be releasing a Creator Pack for this track or a full comprehensive one at launch?
Yes should come up shortly!
@@volaband Terrific! Thank you for the great music, brothers!
I love everything about this.
Amazing Ideas, Amazing drummer, amazing band Vola!
Wow, amazing playing. This is insane song to play! Thank you for this masterpiece.
That is the first song I'm listening to from them and I feel like I have SO much catching up to do with the rest of their stuff?! SO mad, that I only discovered them now :'D This is incredible!!
Thank you for listening:)
Listen to these black claws next....... then give up on music..... VOLA has it taken care of...
I'd give anything if Peart could've seen this in his lifetime.. This performance is outstanding, Adam!
Oh man... Peart would have walked over and said "How'd you do that?"
Please keep doing these for all your songs. Thanks. I love you. That’s all. See ya. 🙂
Beautiful, beautifiul drum lick ... hypnotic !!! Copngrats for this masterpiece.
I love that he seems to enjoy it as if it was his first time playing drums.
Why this video don't have a million views wtf this is mental, great song, great drummer, great band. Long live VOLA
You look like you're eating cranberries. And fuckin' loving them!
Great drum video!
This has such a creative and interesting groove! I hope to hear more where you start with the drum concept and build the rest of the song around it.
Such a sick groove! Something about this track lifts me up and your delivery of it is a huge part of that
My new favorite Djazz drummer.
havalı
So …. Much…… feel
I realized what makes the drums pop is the displacement of the snare off of the 3 throughout the beginning and then putting in back on the 3 at the break. It really adds to the break and brings the song together.
You are amazing - wow! Drum beat is perfect, nothing more to say!
I really enjoy watching this fella playing, thanks mate.
fuck i havent heard a song this good in quite a while. well done, dude well fucking done.
this guy is amazing
What a great songwriting and also what a excellent drumming.
AWESOME
AWESOME
AWESOME
LOVE IT
This is fake, he's clearly mouthing the snare sound!
great balance between technical prog groove and emotionality.
Cannot stop watching this. One of my favorite grooves in modern music. Thank you for your contribution to my happiness, Adam!!
Wow!! I love the finesse and note delineation, brilliant job sir ;)
First song I ever heard from VOLA and the drummers beat was the first thing that captivated me so deeply, such beautiful song
Beautiful song , excelent drummer !!!
EASILY, by far, buy ALOT Adam Janzi is on the top of the best drummers list on the planet. Why this video does not have millions of views is criminal. Some of the garbage that passes for music that gets millions of views is also criminal. This generation is doomed.
Adam looks so relaxed and happy playing this. Thank you for the music, all of you!
Ive seen a lot of shit on the drums.... but... god damn...
Some of the most creative and unique writing for one of the most mellow and open (as you said) songs I’ve ever heard. Phenomenal work!
Mesmerizing!
We love VOLA. Thank you for your hard work, guys.
This was the best thing I discovered ending 2022, gonna be binging this band for a while. 👌🏾
This is proof that the cymbals matter more than the drums in a kit. The variety of sound is so much greater with more cymbals
The creativity is truly mind blowing. I don’t know what it is, but it’s just so refreshing to hear his approach. Bravo!
Just look at his face. What a wonderful human being. Thank you for using your hard work and talent for this gift to us :)
i always come to watch this whenever i'm feeling anxious it's somehow therapeutic.
Adam's expression and that playing with passion is just gold!
On the next drum playthrough please cut to him randomly shaking the tambourine with the utmost seriousness when the tambourine comes in. That would be amazing.
I'm just wondering, is there anything in particular that inspired this drum part. It's just so unique and I'm wondering what the process was of how you came up with it.
Can't stop watching your play!!
Adam has quickly become one of my favorite drummers in prog metal and in general. He's extremely fun to watch as you can see the passion in his performance and his creativity is through the roof.
One of the most talented drummers of ProgMetal...
I am always impressed by his performance.
The drums on this song are magnificent!
This man is… ♥︎
This man is such a joy to watch ❤️
Drums in the first half are absolutely amazing. the writing is superb and creative.
Since the song came out I wanted to see this, it's just unbelievable.
I think.... I think... it's 10/4 timing, accents mainly on the first 8/10, except for that snare which comes so quick after that which throws us off, definitely good story telling where time is unpredictable in space.
Musical talent and being truly in touch with the music are two very different things. This band proves that point to the max. Their music moves me, makes the soul feel the music before the ears even register it. Absolutely amazing
One of my new favorite drummers
You are awesome thanks
Cant wait for the creator pack for this track drops on bandcamp 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Super clean drummin as well 🤘
It's so incredibly awesome to see how he feels the music with his entire being, not just his body but his entire soul is vibing to it. If anyone ever asks you what "groove" or "feeling the music" looks like, show them this video.
So i was just air drumming this. And I was pretty damn close.
Me too.... but I poked myself in the eye.... didn't even have sticks.
Holy fuck. God!
The open hi hats over that ostinato at 1:55 make me barf pure joy
So musical, so precise with such feeling... This is what I needed lately, glad I found this band and love this dudes playing.
Thank you for listening!
@@volaband the pleasure is all mine
Sweeeet babeh Jaysus that is awesome. Pocketastic, groovey AF, crazy technical and Powerfully EPIC.
holy cow
So good.
Awesome
This is what i wanted to see when the song came out 🔥
my man.
Jaw on floor. Gobsmacked. Out for the count, (and other expressions of awe.)
Even with the video I don't believe what I'm hearing! Adam, you're on another planet.
I wondered, it looks like you have the floor toms suspended instead of on legs? Why is that?
Love your playing, and love Vola from here in Florida, USA. But I can't help notice your mounted floor toms without legs........the issue that causes is you can never get them adjusted to a flatter angle that would allow rim shot if needed, but more importantly doesn't allow for optimal stick angle of attack to get the best sound out of the drum (the great Jojo Mayer speaks at length about the importance of these angles for optimal response and resonance of the drum), I was lucky enough to take lessons from Jojo when I lived in Manhattan many a year ago. Love ya, and think about it. Dr. Dave
ok so let's agree; Its not the hardest beat in the world! But man does it ever does it xD Also .. you know it looks like what a we assume a drummer playing > Would look like!
Hey man, weird question but how tall is your drum stool? All the standards are 24" but everyone who can cleanly use double-kick really seem to be higher up...
😳
People I am in love with: This guy
This is just incredible man. Beautiful phrasings. You have a new fan here. So good 👍
I've heard there are actual humanitarian organizations dedicated to organizing efforts in keeping Adam from getting rack toms fearing humanity just isn't ready for it.
G-r-o-o-v-e.
You recognize a passionate musician by his/her facial expressions. Living the song with every beat.
The playing deserves the love you are getting, Adam. This song and ruby pool really stood out to me with how masterful your creativity is. However, I just want to say that your cymbal stacks are really creatively made too. Those sound textures are beautifully constructed as well. I have created so many stack combinations and am still trying to find that right sound. I never would have come up with these really clever pairings and masterful use of those trashy effects. Some inspiring stuff for sure!
I needed this so much
Absolutely stunning!
this is awesome , nice clean tones ... Performance flawless and intersting very nice feel and groove
Anybody else get some Coldplay vibes from this tune?
