    So perfect. I watched this video a few days ago, and I love the idea of this kind of video. Best of of all, it shows the songwriting possibilities and mindsets of drummers approaching songs that are well known - meaning, well known forms (which is a gigantic part of the entire jazz idiom from swing to bebop to everything between and after) - and I think that's a hugely important thing for musicians online to be able to see. It sort of lifts the veil from what we think of as an audience as a concrete thing, to something that is a process of discovery. It lets us discover what we thought we already knew and gives us a means to reimagine it, and thereby expand our own imaginative horizons.
    Love that you decided to cover something like this. Your love of music is infectious as always, Justin. Cheers!

    it's as much testament to the talent of Dave Grohl, I mean if this guy played fairly similar to the original then Dave must have done what the song needed. I'm not much of a drumming fan, but Dave Grohl is definitely my favourite, his work with Queens of the Stoneage is just god mode, beastly, amazing.

    I suggested this on your last Drumeo reaction. I may not care for Nirvana, but it's interesting what he did with the drums. Ulysses Owens has been featured on the channel before. It's interesting how some approach listening to a song whether it be just jumping right, writing out charts, etc.. Some don't do charts as they never learned how.
    Next, check out Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett. Sugarfoot has worked with the likes of Elton John, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson's, Michael Jackson, Rick James, Quincy Jones, George Michael Janet Jackson, and many others. He goes back a long way with the Jacksons. I will tell you that he does a Linkin Park song. Next Drumeo video for sure.
