    I don't care who you are, if you knew about Louis Cole before watching the clowns, you all had this insane "HoLyShIt iS tHaT lOuIS cOlE WhaAAa" moment and well, if that wasn't your case, it can't even be replicated. Discovering one of your favorite, most schooled jazz musician is in fact wearing a clown costume making drum-n-bass influenced hardcore noise punk in a porta-potty is... unique. I will never experience anything like it again.

      Dude, I've been listening to Cream as long as I've been alive. Of course the Jazz drummer blows peoples socks off, he is a real honest-to-god drummer, not a glorified time keeper, and he is getting to show off.

      i had kinda the opposite experience, love me some clown core for about 4-5 years now, im just finding out that the drummer is a celebrated jazz guy and it makes me smile... i knew they were special, i showed people and theyd say something like "oh yeah thats funny, and creepy, i get it" meanwhile im over here thinking these guys are low key sophisticated. i guess its true what they say about jazz, its music for musicians.

    Emotion and tone are very under appreciated elements of the bands musicality.
    The groove and the monotonous synth give me a feeling of anxiety and claustrophobia,
    while they’re packed in a portapotty

    Nice breakdown!
    For ultra-nightmare mode, try the *two* synths AND drum line he plays over the bridge on "computers". One of the most insane technical feats I've seen done by a musician wearing a clown mask in a minivan.

    • @sterbern6762
      @sterbern6762 Рік тому +3

      I love that tempo so much. When the ride/hi hat is slow and the rest has that much character, it feels so cool. One similar but intense groove that comes to mind is the part right after the intro in Micro Aggressions by Animals as Leaders.

      Cuz he does it live and I’ve seen it (ballz btw) and cuz it’s Louis Cole. He’s a multi-instrumentalist and maybe half a genius. Maybe 3/4.

  • @exibuchay1695
    @exibuchay1695 8 місяців тому +7

    For me, I found clowncore and honestly I didn't know what to think. Super talented and I kept asking myself who the hell are these guys? Then about two years later I discover Louis Cole. It still blows me away but I found him through clowncore before I knew who he was and still didn't know for years. Clowncore short-circuited everything I thought I knew about music for a moment or more. And I'm so glad. I'm a big fan of Louis and all of the cool kids he jams with. Including Knower.. (Genevieve)

    • @brettclurdrums
      @brettclurdrums  8 місяців тому +2

      He's one of the best! Crazily enough, he's actually one of JD Beck's biggest inspirations, and you can clearly see where all of JD's 32nd note inspired playing comes from.

  • @batlin
    @batlin 8 місяців тому +2

    That's Louis Cole??? I saw that video when it came out and my mind was instantly blown... Stumbled on Cole years later with his Knower stuff and was blown away again but never connected the two.

    • @brettclurdrums

    Playing the groove with the keyboard in slow tempo makes it more badass sounding. So I have work more on my left foot, a bit, again, on my ghost notes (as you do), and buy one of those tiny keyboards. Thanks for the breakdown. ❤

    I love these dudes. I too have stolen from mr Cole. Playing this groove with various stacks in place of the synth is such a vibe. Learn your bonham style doubles and triples to a good bpm and stuff like this comes much easier.the hard part on this type of groove, silly as it sounds in this respect, is not overplaying it. Leaving the space and the one note hi hat and snare hits with nothing else.
