    The beauty of this is that it shows the true ability of the drums- keeping rhythm- and just how difficult it can be. Moreso in the world of jazz where solos can go to all sorts of extremes, it falls to the drums to hold a steady beat all the way through. It would be extremely difficult to process a rhythm for this song without the drums, 8bitdrummer really is a master of his craft

    • @brandonm1708
      @brandonm1708 10 місяців тому +9

      As an aspiring musician, the most impressive part isn’t the keeping rhythm. The song has an even best in the background that makes it somewhat easy to follow. What makes it so good is how many little flairs he throws in to follow the vibe of the song, when he’s hearing this for the first time! Being able to correctly interpret the dynamics and match that with his own playing is the mark of a pro.

    Virtual Riot is actually insanely good at finding concepts like this and turning them into absolute bangers. For example, there's another video on his channel called "death by amen" where he makes a full song using an amen break. Another example being when he collabed with Andrew Huang for one of his 4 producers 1 sample video and turned a short piano piece into a full complextro song ("Everything here except the drums uses the sample" is what he said). He's got a lot of technical knowledge and it shows.

    It’s impossible to do anything other than the basic 4/4 because the sequences on top are speeding up and slowing down continually. It’s not one steady polyrhythm, it’s cycling through every polyrhythm.
