    The bending sticks are from something called "rolling shutter."
    The camera's sensor is not read all at once (that's called a global shutter). The camera's sensor reads top-to-bottom (or bottom to top). This means either the bottom (for top-to-bottom reading), or top (for bottom-to-top reading) of the frame is slightly earlier in time.

      shutter speed like he mentions in the video directly reflects the rolling shutter though (and motion blur)

    • @shadowboy813
      @shadowboy813 Рік тому

      @@shadowproductions969 Rolling vs global shutter is a difference at the sensor electronics level. Even with an electronic shutter, most cameras will still have rolling shutter effects. It's because the cause is at sensor readout and not due to the physical moevement of the shutter curtains. Smartphones, for example, do not have any mechanical shutters and still suffer rolling shutter. It's because the pixels are read row-by-row, and not all at once, as they would be with a global shutter.

    This dude is one of a kind. The complexity of his beats are often not recognizable by ear. Videos of him playing that stuff are helpfull so you really see whats going on. He musst be aware of every hit's velocity with a certain technique. What a monster of a drummer!

  • @ettorecassetta8183
    @ettorecassetta8183 2 роки тому +46

    Mario is insane. Found Gojira a couple years ago and he definitely made me appreciate a quality > quantity mindset. He just comes up with some of the tastiest stuff and it’s not easy by any means but he’s not going absolutely insane most of the time. Super clever and involving all limbs and polyrhythms, can’t go wrong if you like metal and groove.

    Another great thing about Mario: When I saw Gojira eons ago, he and his brother switched instruments (which they regularly do), and having him on guitar and vocals with his brother on drums was also awesome.
    Lastly, whilst I mention this show I went to, the band opening to them was Hypno5e and we're also great. I've been a fan ever since. It never happened to me like that, hence why I wanted to mention it.
    They deserve more attention.

    As a bassist all I feel is sympathy for Jean-Michel having to play perfectly tight to these insane beats. I can't even work out where each bar starts let alone count the beats.

      Honestly I think it's a testament to Jean-Michel's ability as a bassist and the tightness of the band overall that Mario not only never leaves the bass in his dust, they're so tight and in synch 100% of the time you'd think they shared a brain.

    I think the cowbell used on the end of cyclone actually resembles the bells that warn people about incoming strong winds or storms. This actually fits the title of the solo and the timing it has duriong that final storm he does on the toms. This is fucking genius

    So many times, I listen to drum solos that just want to technically fill the space with everything they can perform. Mario intensely understands that music is about the space in between. You have to leave some white space for you listeners or it just becomes noise. Today I heard a Maestro. My life has been blessed by Mario.

    I've been binge watching your videos today since I found your channel. I just find it so fascinating. These videos are really cool when you react to another drummer. They are awesome like this guy. But your reactions throughout the whole thing is really cool and entertaining too. I don't like a-lot of things that UA-cam does but one thing I love about it is that I am always finding new and such cool things like your channel and drumming. So cool. And you have the best hair. Lol. I'm on my third time growing my hair then donating it. I'm going to keep it long for awhile this time and enjoy it. I love donating it but it kills me when I cut it. But anyway. You rock bro.
