saw this man live at a Roy Hargrove gig in Amsterdam and he blew me away! dude has pocket so deep light cannot escape its surface.... Then comes a solo and he throws so many divisions at you it would make a calculator blowup but the groove never leaves the building.... MAD RESPECT!
Jason. Soy argentino y he visto tu actuación con Miller en el festival de lugano 2008. Su estilo, tecnica, delicadeza y musicalidad me han sido de mucha inspiración. Gracias por dedicar a dar lo mejor siempre 💪
+Steve Pruitt Yo!! Whatup dude, I was just talking about to someone about you! Thanks so much Bro, really appreciate that. Miss you as well, been a minute, you good over there?
+Jason “JT” Thomas I actually prefer your playing, but you are both so good. (and don't let this go to your head, but I think you're the more handsome man too)
+Jacob Moseley Thanks man. Yeah, the D112 on the snare thing is something Sput(Snarky Puppy) does. I had tried it before on Fl Toms but never the snare, but it's only for the deep tuning snare, check it out, it really works, studio & live.
+Ties Jehoul Duudddee!! The room was "LIVE to the 10th power" + an Oak shell, med to thin carpet= me saying this about my Fl Tom, " Listen to that Sustain……"!! Drove me nuts, tried everything, I normally use 3 with some dampening on the reso head(had to use more on this session) so I figured what the heck, let's go for 5, & I finally got what I needed. Looks ridiculous though… Lolol…. Peace! JT
Another top performance, if you decide to do another song from the FORQ debut album, may I suggest Stella, that's a track that really showcases your abilities.
+Senor Gamer Wow, thank you so much for that, & thanks for asking about Drumeo. I'm actually working on that right now. Larnell(Lewis) & Mark Kelso are helping me approach those guys about doing something. I'm brainstorming now on what I would do, as there's been so much great stuff already covered by the guys on there & all of the guys brought in or featured as well. I would love to hopefully do something by this time 2017 or sooner. Until then, please hit me up anytime if you have any questions. Peace!
Really solid playing. I have already seen a little bit of his work with Forq with Snarky members and i have to say it's really amazing . I have a question is it me or at some times, sounds are added on the mix and some are removed ?
+StompL7 Yo! Yeah, some sync issues on parts of the video. I noticed it as well. Technology, gotta sometimes don't wanna really don't like it hate it etc etc but for now, Love it! Lol….. have a happy day :-)
Yeah, it takes some getting used to, as I normally don't play cymbals his dry, but since I've been playing with Snarky more lately, I've been trying some new sounds out. I love them, probably won't be my normal setup, well everything but the crashes, but I'm very happy with how everything turned out. Peace…
Also a couple hits on the hats aren't in sync at 3:12. Little hard to notice and nitpicking but it's def not in sync along with the part you pointed out.
LOL! Yep! I've known the Pups since they were in school back in Tx, that's where we all met. Yes over the last couple of years I've been in & out with them, more last year & this year so far. Will be out with them again in May. & yes, I'm on the new record, all 3 drummers(actually all Snarky members past & present, well most of us), are on the new one. 2 drummers on every track, different combos or Me/Sput/& Larnell. Oh yeah, I almost did the smiley face. Lol
5:10 was from another take :P Nice player.. Cymbals AND drums too dry for my taste, at least one of them could sing more. Everyone plays how they see fit though!
Solid as a rock... really nice. Diggin the cymbal setup too👌🏼
definitely one of the grooviest and tightest drummers out there! keep up the good work!
Thanks Laurens

+Steve Pruitt Yo!! Whatup dude, I was just talking about to someone about you! Thanks so much Bro, really appreciate that. Miss you as well, been a minute, you good over there?
Things are great! Hope you can make it over here sometime! I see you all over the place! Awesome and not surprising!
That was heavy. Nice work JT... and Meinl of course. 💪
Lesson Learned! Thanks!
this is the kind of track they'd have in a grading. really clean and a nice groove
Tight drummer, and ridiculously nice guy too. Wish he'd come back and gig in Toronto!
+colourfulwithaU Thanks man! yeah, I miss Toronto, one of my favorite places.
JT is solid as hell!
Somewhere between Bonham and Blackwell. Killer!
Well done mate. Great job.
YES! solid pocket! JT for president.
Very nice...If there was such a thing as too much pocket this would be it...bare-footed?
at the first look I thought it was Denis Chambers
+Artur Meireles You have No idea how much I've heard that over the years. Hilarious….. but Awesome!! Lol! thanks dude
JT
I had the same thought my man.
+Jason Thomas (JT) sorry for the joke, Jason!! Your play is amazing... congrats :D
+Artur Meireles LOL!!! No worries dude, I've seriously been getting that for some years now, it's awesome to me! Thanks man...
+Jason “JT” Thomas I actually prefer your playing, but you are both so good. (and don't let this go to your head, but I think you're the more handsome man too)
I love this guy!
Those Ghost notes and drags on 1:25 are só Nice. Very controlled playing man! I need to try that
D112 on a snare? Holy shit! Absolutely savage. JT nails it!
+Jacob Moseley Thanks man. Yeah, the D112 on the snare thing is something Sput(Snarky Puppy) does. I had tried it before on Fl Toms but never the snare, but it's only for the deep tuning snare, check it out, it really works, studio & live.
+Jason “JT” Thomas I shall do so! Gonna have to give it a whirl myself!
Man, that pocket is legit!
Moongell game is strong with this one
+Ties Jehoul Duudddee!! The room was "LIVE to the 10th power" + an Oak shell, med to thin carpet= me saying this about my Fl Tom, " Listen to that Sustain……"!!

JT
+Jason “JT” Thomas Two more and you could have had a smiley face. :)
+Jason “JT” Thomas haha, gotta do whats needed for the desired sound! awesome performance btw, hope to see more from you on this channel!

Why haven't you been on Drumeo? I'd love to get in your head. You got some awesome ideas

+Jason “JT” Thomas thanks for answering man
+August Burns Red My pleasure Bro….
Continuity error to 5:20 minutes. Sound not sincronized with the fill.
Also a couple hits on the hats aren't in sync at 3:12. Little hard to notice and nitpicking but it's def not in sync along with the part you pointed out.
That's where I've seen you before, Snarky Puppy.
+BurnThePope0514 He has recently started playing with Snarky Puppy and in on their up coming record.
LOL! Yep! I've known the Pups since they were in school back in Tx, that's where we all met. Yes over the last couple of years I've been in & out with them, more last year & this year so far.
