    Thank you for the kind words people! Means a lot me! I had a wonderful time at Drumeo. Those wonderful people helped me a lot to get the right mood!

      You deserve all the praise, man. Your passion & flair for fusing concepts with such immense talent, knowledge & dedication to back it up brings drumming to a whole new level. I haven't seen very many drummers that can play Jazz, Metal, Rock, Fusion with such improvisation, fluidity and ease like you do. Thank you for sharing your music with us! Congrats on the Zildjian sponsorship. \m/ \m/

      Have you seen your solo with the music (guitar, bass, synth etc) overlay by Alastair Taylor? If not, I strongly recommend to watch/listen what this guy did: ua-cam.com/video/JDdoHJvdgKU/v-deo.html I also recommended his other works.

    @BrianGivensYtube 2 роки тому +11

    I have like 3 levels to my playing this guy has like 25 noise levels he can play at. He can barely touch the snare and make a sound quieter than I would if I played with my finger but it's an impression that's still meaningful and contributes to the sound of the music. Amazing.

    Woah, never heard drums played with such nuance, delicacy and dynamics! Gergo even talks about drumming the way he plays them. Poetically! Think I just found my new favourite drummer. Thank you Gergo Borlai!

  • @farclebaba
    @farclebaba 5 років тому +8

    WOW. Amazing player. Just... wow. This solo is MUSIC. This guys is my new favorite at the moment, and I can't believe it took me this long to discover him. And he plays an arrangement of Keep it Greasy? He's just too much. Too good...
    And holy crap, his kit sounds AMAZING. Like, the sound of his kit is pretty much the drum sound I have in my mind. He's achieved it. I know Gretsch drums are some of best sounding drums ever (I heard a Gretsch kit from 82 - jasper shells era - that was set up in a studio, and it was just monstrous) but the kit in this video is on a different level. LOVE. IT.

  • @NabilKarsheh
    @NabilKarsheh 8 років тому +7

    there is an old documentary in hungarian about Gergő. In one scene he is talking to a sound engineer and tells him "last night I saw in a metal show on TV a band called NILE, something totally impossible, playing these things (blast beats) for minutes...something not normal"... and now he says: George Kolias is one of my best friends and blast beats are great :)

    • @Guppusmaximus
      @Guppusmaximus 8 років тому

      Nabil Karsheh Yea, in his drum solo at the 2010 Meinl Drum Festival he makes a nod to the metal guys in the audience by playing a blast beat. He does a slower, jazzier blast beat in this video too. I love how the newer breed of Jazz drummers are starting to include Death Metal riffs in their vocabulary. Of course Marco Minnemann was actually playing Tech Death back in '08 (Necrophagist, Illlogicist) but I Love Gergo!! Phucking Phenomenal:)

    • @NabilKarsheh

  • @jorgeponticas7782
    @jorgeponticas7782 2 роки тому +1

    Many times people ask the rationality behind improvisation. But to me either you are a creative person or not. Gergo is one of them. You can practice technical aspects in any instrument in order to develop a necessary vocabulary to express your thoughts, just like a poet you need to be able to write and read, or a painter needs to know how to draw and mix colors, but creativity, you are born with it or you are not.

  • @collectingclassics
    @collectingclassics 8 років тому +8

    Simply outrageous. amazing technique and vocabulary. such exploration and desire to play around with concepts and ideas. outside of what's being played. he's put in his time and I know from first hand experience he's a nice dude. what a fun solo .not to be picked at or compared to. but to appriciate someone maybe new or simply different. to many people hating on videos or comparing and in reality hold no candle to said comparison or person of interest.
    thanks drumeo fam and thanks Gergo and Ron thanks Dunnet (also very awsome guy)and everyone for their post .so I and others are able to see the diversity in people and our drumming community.
    good and bad.
    remember someone is always watching ...

      Jojo would be great if he could show us the Jojo of 20 years ago instead of the same drum n bass stuff he became obsessed with. However there's more to Jojo than drum n bass drumming.

  • @AntonShields
    @AntonShields 3 роки тому +1

    I said it before and I'll say it again.....Mr. Borlai has an insane kick and hi-hat placement that's already bad ass. But in my opinion, what sets him apart from other drummers is having that amazing placement but then elevating his style further to have this incredible and unforgettable groove. His drumming makes my head hurt sometimes but that's a good thing. LOL

  • @zeebateria
    @zeebateria 8 років тому +1

    I just love that as a drummer, THIS is my education. I love learning from the perspective of someone who been playkng a long time has a lot of situations under their belt. They always teach from a "this is how you make your OWN musical decision" standpoint... awesome, just AWESOME

  • @mattdrewdrums
    @mattdrewdrums 5 років тому +1

    I love how his drums and cymbals all have this consistent sound. I'm usually a fan a dry cymbals and drums, sort of like a Matt Garstka type of sound. But, after seeing this guy, I've gained an appreciation for more open sounding drums and high pitched cymbals.

    These full drum lesson videos make me feel more closer to the drummers who come for an hour long session. It helps to understand their style, technique and their personality (which is the amazing part). Support from Bangladesh!

    @cleverestx 3 роки тому +1

    Brilliant. He mentioned about listening to solos from guitar and piano; and in the same way that piano/guitar chords build and release tension in certain keys/chords, he tries to explore the same dynamics in drumming to cause and release that pressure, as he phrases as 'questions' and 'answers'. I think that's such a cool idea.

    Drumeo, at 26:11 - 26:22, I believe I took part in that unofficial contest XD A few days after you guys did this session, Gergo and Ronn came to Saskatchewan for the Stickman Drum Camp, and at the student session, GB did "19/16" with me and 3-4 other guys sitting in chairs beside this guy as he was playing. ABSOLUTELY WICKEDNESS :)
