  • Four-time Grammy-award-winning drummer and composer Antonio Sánchez rates seven drum scenes in movies and TV, such as "Whiplash," for realism.
    He breaks down the fundamentals of drumming, such as tempo and grip, in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" (2010) and "Whiplash" (2014), starring Miles Teller. He also breaks down different drumming styles in various genres in "Sound of Metal" (2019) and "School of Rock" (2003), starring Jack Black. He also rates the performances of the drummers in "The Office" (2011), "Wayne's World" (1992), and "That Thing You Do!" (1996).
    Sánchez is the composer of the film score for "Birdman" (2014), which won four Oscars. He has performed with various notable musicians, such as Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Gary Burton, and Charlie Haden. He's been playing the drums since he was 5 years old.

    Ok, for all the Whiplash fans that keep saying that the scene needed some context: I had seen the movie. There is some decent, realistic playing throughout the film. Miles Teller did a pretty good job in general. For this video I got asked to rate SPECIFICALLY the playing on the scenes. Even if Fletcher was trying to mess with his head and asking him to play fast to make him uncomfortable, the actual playing is absolute nonsense. Zero. Doesn’t pass as actual playing and the bleeding hands are absurd.
    It is possible to play incredibly fast where the playing is organized, coordinated and polished. Not on this scene, hence the 1 rating.
    Cheers.

      Antonio is 100% right here. What has always bothered me about Whiplash was that a lot of the scenes where Miles is in the practice room (or on stage as in this clip) he is woodshedding or ripping out "blast beats", which are common in punk and metal music, NOT jazz.

      I think his assessment of Whiplash is a little unfair since it's obvious that's all of the movie he's seen. For example, when JK Simmons is hitting the cowbell, guy says "that's what he should be playing to," implying that JK was trying to give him the tempo, when he was actually doing the opposite and trying to throw him off.

    At 7:40, Antonio speaks about making the least amount of movement possible. By coincidence, I watched him play with Pat Metheny a couple a days ago, and noticed that most of the time he manages to keep his upper arms parallel to his body, moving only from the elbows down, even when playing fast; always relaxed. He is an incredibly excelent drummer, very very musical! It´s a joy to hear him play!

    • @hazardeur
      @hazardeur Рік тому +7

      thing is that metheny's music is very subtle and nuanced most of the time and it's kinda hard to get subtlety and nuance out of a big arm movement, hence the application of as small as possible movements. it yields great control. you can see a similar thing in extreme metal drumming where they go so fast that big movements are just no longer possible so a lot of techniques that are usually found in other music like jazz are employed and/or developed further

And so it turned out he was the person who taught Dana Carvey to play drums!

      @@nafeezofficial none of that would get you ready for drums. Being a dj is just being the guy that hits play, and occasional live mixing. Other than recognizing the beat, a dj has nothing to share with a drummer. Same with percussion. Percussionists arguably have the easiest job in music, after dj's. So long as they can recognize the beat, what they actually play, rarely matters much, and they don't have to use much energy to do it. A drummer works far harder than anyone else on stage. They don't have to recognize the beat, they have to BE the beat. That's a lot harder than most people think. You utilize every muscle group on a drum set. You have to be in shape. Imagine running for two hours and every step has to be perfectly timed. That's the life of a drummer. No DJ or percussionist is gonna just roll in and be great behind a kit. This guy clearly trained for the part, and he did a fantastic job of it. It must have taken a lot of work.

      Parts of the drum set are sharp; you can accidentally hit your knuckles on the hi hat, snare, or floor tom if you're not careful. It can get a little bloody if you're jamming out for a while and don't notice you nicked yourself.

I appreciate knowing there are people who can be brilliant and still let the world be different. (edited added on: your shoulders, mr sanchez, appear to look as though you've been stuck in the same repetitious behavior on the drum set for enough years that the imbalance there is clear to me. Good luck with your future endeavors with whatever genre of music styles you choose to play on the drum set.)
