Those double bass drums are just incredible. Such control. Wow.
At least he living his dream and not just complaining who is a better drummer and who is not.
Well said my friend! Well said!
THIS is what a drumsolo should sound like! Many drummers abuse a drumsolo to show off their skills. But this guy doensn't only show his skills, it also has a nice feel to it. Great job!
i like how he is throwing in so many different styles
........WHAT?
Like metal and... metal?
Never heard of this guy before but damn, that was killer!
Did you have your earpiece turned off?
Shadows fall band
fraggin overkill!!
I was sort of waiting for something AMAZING to happen in this solo. Then, about halfway through it hit me, that wow! what incredibly clean drumming this is. Okay, so there's nothing groundbreaking going on here. Who cares?? Drumming has been a hobby of mine forever. It's so hilarious to read negative comments about a performance like this. I soooo appreciate clean, tight drumming! Good job Jason! Negative commentors.....waiting for your videos of your greatness...
TheJb2112 True dat! He's really good. Sure, there are a lot better (including some Guitar Center Drum-Off contestants), but he's damn good. Great double bass. He is clean, isn't he? Pretty good technique.
everyone says typical metal drumming, Jason Bittner is a... say it with me.. Metal Drummer!
No,innovative mixing Cuban style with thrash double bassing,open your ears and learn.
A very basic one at that
You sound like a gay
Just listened through headphones. Wow, incredible sound, power and control.
This man has been my favorite drummer since I saw Shadows Fall for the first time years back... Incredible
This is Jason Bittner signature Tama Supertar Double bass drum kit. A cool one! Sounds very good. Jason is a cool guy and a solid drummer.
Yes sir, I actually own one of these kits til this day, not sure how many they made but I got mine from guitar center years ago
Man, people need to stop being so jealous of Jason's amazing skill!
I find this inspirational and pleasing to the ears. It would be cool to hear live
Sounds like the comments here are 50-50. My thoughts? He's doing what 95+% of us CAN'T DO! And if your in that CAN DO 5%, Nice job and congrats to you as well:)
This is not meant as a negative comment or as some may even call it a hateful comment. I have no reason or business to be negative for the sake of being negative, but I could not help myself to honestly feel that the solo came across as a collection of chops. A solo needs, emotion, dynamics and a clear storyline. That was not the case with this solo. This does not mean that he is not a good drummer, he is a very good and educated drummer.
yeah nothing new or creative to his solo since i myself can do most of those licks lol! he is probably a song drummer where they sound better within a song.
My thoughts are that Jason's rise wasn't exactly overnight, so he's put the time in, and I'm delighted by his success.
I met Jason and his wife in Long Island several years ago at LI Drum Centre for their anniversary. He seemed a genuinely nice guy, who had all the time in the world for the kids there... He's okay by me :)
who cares
One of my favourite drummer..greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾🤘🏼👊🇲🇾🤘🏼
Man, i just love the way those bass drums sound
This is an amazing display of drumming using difficult technics. Those that hate are merely indications of jealousy and envy cause he's that good. If anyone who has the audacity to say otherwise then you fit that description.
I love the sound of that snare!!!!!
He is a great drummer and has played with many bands, I love his style and last time I heard him(besides his live streams)was in shadows fall 😎👍😊👏❤🔥🤘
just met him at a drum clinic yesterday, cool guy. For those hating on him too, what you dont realize is he's actually a very diverse drummer that attended Berkley, he just prefers to play metal
dude when u hear a drummer this solid u can never go wrong
Amazing! Well done.
I really like the sound of his drums! So epic
I was happy to have jammed with him for a little bit after he got out of Berkley. We hooked up in his home town in N.Y., before desert storm broke out. Very nice person, and his friends as well were kind enough to rent a room to me while we worked on forming a band. Nothing became of it, so I left for the military, and he hooked up with Shadows Fall. I wish him well. Tim
What amazing drumming and footwork by Mr Bittner. He is so much more than just a metal drummer. As you can see on this video, he can do a whole range of stlyes. Brillaint stuff from a brilliant drummer. 10 OUT OF 10!!!
this is awesome GOD BLESS YOU JASON BITTNER
This man is simply put : PHENOMENAL! Mindblowing skills! Wow!
Love those bass drums! Sound great!
Jason Bitner is already a professional drummer. He wasn't a contestant, he was one of the many celebrity performances.
been playing drums for about 10 years now, and i wish i was half as good as the guys who play in these drum offs.. been on a video watching spree of watching all if them and it just blows my mind
Wow!! Flawless fluidity!! How anyone could find fault in this dude clearly hasn't seen a recording of himself... Kudos JB!!!! You are amongst the best!!
awsome drumming!!!
Amazing drumming!
Jason is amazing
I'm inspired for the next few weeks.
amazingly accurate and clean.
Really looking forward to jason's drum clinic in Dublin this Sunday
Blasting all the way good stuff!!!
I have tremendous respect for him and the things he can do on drums while his solo seemed unstructured he has very good control. This solo is a good representation of how well coordinated he is as well as his dexterity but he can always organize it a bit better.
Jason is pure solid metal drumming. He also has great lessons out there.
That's a s good as it gtes. Most people will never understand how incredibly talented and coordinated a human has to be to play with this kind of precision and speed.
Wonderful drummer, wow!
From beautiful downtown, Cohoes, NY!
Jason is one of few metal drummers in this day in age that doesn't use drum triggers. He is creative with his fills and has groove. Also, he incorporates many different styles of drumming into his solos. Not just all blast beats and double bass. That's why I like him.
i love jason
effortless power! brilliant!
There are 2 kinds of people in this world: people with talent, and people that leave negative comments on UA-cam videos.
It´s very impressive drums work!
Amazing
Love his work
I've had the opportunity to talk with some of the greatest drummers on the planet.. Donati, Lang and many others. All of them were very humble, whenever I asked them of other drummers that would seem to be out of their league, they had nothing but praise for them. The last thing they would do is talk shit about other drummers.
I guess that is what happens when you're a seasoned drummer, you become humbled and realize it's not a competition, and everyone can bring something to the table, including their own style.
Jason Bittner actually really knows his shit. He is a pretty technical player and he's very skilled. He went to Berkley and started teaching there before Shadows Fall got famous, so you know he wasn't hired on reputation alone.
His best video solo!!!Thumbs up if you agree!!!!
BRILLIANT. NUFF SAID!!!
Wow! He's badass!
Jason is a great drummer, he is my drum teacher and anyone who says he's not good is just jealous that they cant do what he can
Great job Bro! Very musical . I dig your ideas. Giovanni, Instructor.Long Island Drum Center
he is the marvelous drummer on his band
He's the best!!!!!!
I like it very much
why cant everyone be friends? im a huge Avenged Sevenfold fan and i miss the Rev as much as everyone else but im here to watch Jason Bittner, a great metal drummer! I think the Rev was great and had alot of skill, but there are alot of other drummers in the world besides him. This solo is great, i love Bittner's work.
I've been playing for 20 years, Jason is a good drummer. He may not be everyone's cup of tea, I'm not too crazy about him, but he is still good.
AWESOME!!! Hope one day, I to can afford do a great drum performance.
ur my hero o.o
Very nice.
Fkn cool solo great blend of styles
like it!!
way cool...super tight!!!!
That snare sounds amazing
I've actually seen him play some tasteful jazz lines before a clinic... dude's multidimensional and a much more rounded musician than his professional gigs would indicate. Happy to have met him: great guy.
Pretty amazing what can be done with seven drums and a nice raft of cymbals. great double kicks. nicely played.
Being a drummer has nothing to do with what you play it's how you play. The drums are you and what you will create is who you are. It doesn't matter if he did this 20 years ago or 1 day ago.
This guy has been picked on from his solo to the god dam sound of his kit. He is a beast! He is a terrific drummer. The negitive people need to shut up. Stop comparing him to other drummers too or saying another one is faster. Its not all about speed. Bitter rocks!
Good man :))))) Very nice Sound ! Tama Ever
I like the snare sound!
one of my friends said he does not like shadows fall, but i showed him this, didnt change him but he did say the drummer is pretty damn talented...good enough XD
great drumming :)
That kit is a special edition, only 300 in the world, I have one!
Goddamn! I've been playing (probably) longer than he's been alive. I am only .00001% as good as him. What fun to watch and listen to
asome
That's Jason Bittner for ya!
;D
best drummer ever! no crap !
If I could play half as good as this i'd tell the world to kiss my ass. Drums isn't all about soloing. Being able to do a great solo won't get you many jobs. This guy is a beast!
just fast
wow,one of the nicest solos I've ever heard.Sounds like a Ronnie Tutt solo from the 70s.
Destrói !!!
Dear Jason,
Leave blasting to those who know when and where to use it
I have found a new respect for Jason Bittner... I didn't think he was all too special before this. And the smoke at 2:08's from his double bass >
anyone who doubts this guys skill needs to listen to the light that blinds, yeah he may not be the best solo person but hes beast at song writing
Jason bittner is shadows fall!!
Well said. I agree.
Jase is one of the best drummers out there! He can compete with any drummer out there! Even Lombardo!!
Yes it was.
i just wish that i had 1/8th of his talent!
for the people that are bad mouthing its just a damn solo, they don't put solos on albums, hes a way better songwriter that he is with solos and in my mind thats all that matters
See nothing here that would support anyone saying this guy sucks.. Quite the opposite.. I love the way he infuses jazz, swing into metal and he does it well, and it looks as if he has a few more tricks up his sleeve. From 4:01 on, I was blown away. On a side note, this kit sounds amazing. Whoever mic'd this knows what they are doing.
My opinion... you don't like it, that's fine. Just keep the child like comments to yourself.
Jason Bittner regardless of what you think of this particular solo is an amazing drummer...obviously hes gifted with speed which is not everything but is definately important especially in his genre....He also grooves extremely good in the context of Shadows Fall
Jason Bittner is in shadows fall. There metal dude
smokin' HOT!
