"I love improv, play in a family band, rnb, gospel..." a few years later, he's playing the mercury price awards show with an insane rambling frontman and his guitarist doing frontflips while making mathrock/noise :D I wonder what his family thinks.
Simpson's fucking sick but since I saw him live it's really hitting me that he's a kind of sick we haven't had in a while. He's super techy as hell but he's not... "fidgety", I guess the term would be? Like his grooves aren't super rudiment based, he keeps it pretty locked down to quarter/eighth notes and backbeats, and the technicality comes in in the way he slams through the time signature changes and in how crazy the flourishes are. It's the kind of old school cathartic virtuosity that I more associate with guys like Bonham or Moon than other prog drummers, and it's really cool to see.
Black midi expirements with different time signatures outside of 4/4. Drummers love these type of bands because they are more of a driving force in the music rather than just adding a simple groove and then a fill there and a fill there, etc. They’re aren’t as many boundaries so they are able to be more creative. I assume that’s why
Morgan you are great indeed. Oh this is lovely! This video has been a great inspiration for my little PJ and DD so much. Keep it up Morgan. This is just the best way to bring them up. I know we will remember this video for many more years to come. I cant stop watching and sharing. Great great great! I have to acknowledge you for what they are now playing.
I think Drum's are Amazing;-), if i ever had a choice, i would do this, just to get out on a stage live, i have never done this on a stage, in my life in front of a crowd of people, iv'e played on the street's before, & in open mic night's, but yep look's like lot's of fun, i really hope if i don't, i really hope my 10 year old Niece doe's, my Niece is Crazy she play's, the kick pedal heel up, were for me i have to play flat foot. Nice work Morgan Simpson:-).
Hi Morgan, you know that one that you played... What is the name of that song? I want to play drums to that song so i would be very appreciated if you would answer me Morgan😃
+Bee Carter Hey Bee, the track was composed especially for the competition as it is each year. The backing track and lead sheet are available on the 'KR player' in the online store (Search for Knowledge Rocks). The compositions from 2015 and 2016 are also available.
If this kid was as good at maths as he is at drums he would have miraculously been playing for 13 years. Although, I have to give him credit for his awesome drumming talent
This is good, but the groove he plays at the end (including the fill) is more or less exactly what Jerome Flood played in his solo than won him the Guitar Centre Drum Off in 08?
This guy should really form a math/prog/post punk rock band with the guitarrist from ZEDRAY2011. They'd be huge.
that would be just crazy
Interesting idea. Hope it happens.
Nah man, that's impossible.
Sounds like a group with a purpose
@@yesterdaze114 Sounds like the kind of group to back three encores of Oh Sonny Boy with accordians
Posterity will show him to be the greatest the world has ever seen.
A genius among non-entities

Mastered his craft so why not go for chaos
Moves with a purpose

@@znet9452 quite well
Damn
i don't think it's possible to do what black midi does without a solid drummer. Morgan is killing it! maan Black Midi is gooood
Agreed. Superb
So he was clearly ready for Black Midi at 14 😳 unreal
Amazing timing and rhythm. Not just a bunch of fast fills, but a strong groove and a lot of variety.
If you want fast fills, check out his band black midi
This guy now plays in a noise rock band called Black Midi - they're fucking awesome
They’re still fucking awesome to this day
Had they even released any songs when this comment was posted?? You get the hipster award for this one lol
@@WiloPolis03 bro IS the keeper of the gate
Certified OG
You were so ahead of your time
Now potentially one of the strongest young drummers in rock. Latest black midi album is gonna be a killer

Wow, he looks a lot like the drummer in black midi

Years ago they tried to
Years ago they tried to

He met the lead vocalist and guitarist through jamming and ended up joining the band.
I think they have also been friends since boyhood, there are videos of Gordie and Morgan rocking out at like 10 years old
@@adeepseadiverindoubt yo where can I find that?

Gorgeous performance. Saw him last week with bm. Awe-struck by his abilities.
The song he plays along to at 2:56 is Polary - Nothing 😃

Anyone who disliked this video either is someone who lost the competition or feels sorry for themselves.
