@@user-dj4bu8bq5r Well, tbh I'm only 80% sure. But for me they sound way too loud and mechanical for being absolutely natural. At the very least, he gave them a big dB boost, but for me they sound too processed for not being triggered. I mean theres nothing wrong with that, his Bassdrum is triggered too and it doesn't mean, he's got no groove whatsoever... I think he's a great player, even more so if you think about how old he is. And also, it's Metal, that genre uses triggers on drums all the time. What it does mean is that you can't tell about his ability to groove solely by looking this video... Seeing him live would give you way more insight on that... Oh and in case you wanna watch a video, where you can see the drummer being groovey as hell because there are no triggers, only eq, watch some drum playthoughs by the allmighty Matt Halpern;)
He’s concentrating, he’s shredding. He’s not there to show off but to actually be the best drummer for this band. His new influence in the latest songs is so good.
Do you think he writes his own parts? To me this screams a guitarist who programmed a drum map. And considering Courtney and Mikes (think thats his name) relationship and how common that style of writing is it would make sense. I could be wrong, I wonder if they've talked about the writing process in an interviee somewhere.
I love hearing instrumental parts of songs I love because I can find little things in the mix that sometimes get lost with the voice... Like I just realized that piano part that doubles the melody of Courtney in the chorus to give it more power...
Listened to Craig Reynold’s podcast with Courtney and this kid’s apparently barely old enough to drink, if at all, meanwhile I’m 32 and one energy drink away from an aneurysm
Note to Zev...I have been playing drums for over 50 years and thought I was pretty good...until I heard you! Hats off brother, you've got the chops and the groove and play in the pocket. I don't think you realize how good you really are. Keep it up !!
As a fellow drummer I followed this kid on instagram for many years and watched him progress. I messaged him a few times telling him to keep up with his passion and i told him he would make it in with a pretty big name. So happy and proud of this kid for how far he has come. I hope to see him and spiritbox perform live one day here in Texas!
Same man i remember getting drum tips from him early on when he was with earth7! Such a chill humble guy, I looked up to him even though he’s only a year older than me he’s very dedicated and has really perfected his craft. I’m also from Texas, hope to see you at the next show.
All the drums have been programmed, according to producer Daniel Braunstein. Not sure if Zev writes the parts now but none of the drums are natural. Zev is a beast for sure though.
@@freedomcall76 Yeah I watched one of his streams during quarantine. I forget which song he was writing, but he was programming the drums. Does he really write bass though? Those are some intricate bass riffs for someone who seemingly doesn’t employ hybrid picking in his guitar playing.
2 things: 1. The way he pounds through the snare reminds me of John Bonham from Zeppelin. 2. That's the first time I've ever seen a drummer move his gear around mid-song. Being aware of your place in the kit and being able to adjust on-the-fly was smooth. Excellent. Glad to see you able to participate more.
Well especially during small breaks like here (ie no multitasking requiered) it's really not that uncommon and many drummers do it. Really sweet drumming nevertheless.
Man, I was really proud of the way I play this song so I was stoked to see an official playthrough and compare. Dude this was SOOOOO CLEAAAAN. Serious, those are some of the crispest snare ghost hits I've heard. Damn I've got work to do.
The pocket of Abe Cunningham and the groove of Mario Duplantier wrapped all into one. Two of my favorite drummers in two of my favorite bands of all time. Killer stuff, dude! 🤘
Once again u have blown me away with ur bass drum work.. amazing. I do not usually comment on these type of vids. But u are awesome. I'm lovin everything u are playing..2😊😊
Zev your talent and skill on drums just blow my mind! I literally just got introduced to Spiritbox last night. My co-worker was like check this band out from Van Island. I can tell ya one thing…It’s been a longtime since I got that bone chill/hair completely up on my arms feeling. 110% put in by each band member which in return creates all that is Spiritbox!!! 👊🤙
Absolutely love this song, and this playthrough. The drumming is so well-balanced--a little flare, but not too much, and always so solidly in the pocket. Sick.
Courtney gets all the love being the frontwoman but Zev dude...your drums just bring it all together man. There are good players and great players. You definitely are a great drummer. Love these playthroughs and getting to hear all the technical stuff you sometimes miss on normal listening. Keep it coming! Great stuff!
Goose bump level of playing. Amazing feeling. Beautiful song. This is a proof that it's not the amount of notes that counts, but the right notes played at the right time, giving the notes a lot of space in between to breath.
IMO it’s about the chemistry of players within the band that’ll get u far and this guy at such a young age is the right fit for sure to help catapult success. Solid!
saw that he went from touring member to official member of the band recently. He deserves it! all 4 members of spiritbox are amazing and they all deserve whats coming to them which is pretty much one of the biggest bands out there along with Tetarach who also worked their asses off and have big things coming. As someone who was born in the 80s grew up with grunge, numetal. and metalcore all these new bands are keeping rock alive!
Being able to casually move your gear back into place, mid song, and not let it rattle you speaks of a supreme confidence and comfort in both the individual's skill, and how well they know the part. Absolutely awesome, holy shit I hope I get to see you guys live soon.
As a drummer with stands myself, the fact that you also had to adjust the crash in the middle of the song just brought me joy lmao. Insane playthrough!
YOU'R EON ANOTHER LEVEL! You have the abilty to spice things up without being too invasive All these little accents and stuff put so much color on your songs. True master!!!!
Its time for kicking and then some snaring. Then some more kicking and snaring. Amazing!
Oh i see what u did there xP
@@felipebrognoli who didn't hahaha

Those ghost notes on the snare give me chills.. this guy has insane groove.
They're triggered though... That tom groove is way more creative and groovy imo :)
What are ghost notes?

Spiritbox struck gold with Zev, and now Josh. They both compliment Courtney and Mike really well.
This kid's barely out of high school, and already played drums on one of the biggest rock albums of the year. He's going places.
No. Lack of fills = boring drumming
The drums are programmed on the record as it was done during Covid. He’s still a beast though.
Man's a beast on the kit
@@NickSoundAuthentic I could've sworn Courtney & Mike said that he recorded the drum parts virtually, and sent it to them
@@jasonfrancis3264 he played what’s on the record. You don’t need flash and fireworks to make good music.

Zev Rose
A man of pure focus, will and determination.
John wick of drumming
A man with a stout back. A man who has never tasted quiche.
Those ghost notes are tight as fuck. Also the ride being crashed during the chorus, what a beautiful "SHHHH" sound. Love it
The Meinl Transition ride has a very distinctive dirty shimmering sound when crashed. Good stuff.
I came in and said the same thing about the crash-ride. Fucking epic. Beat the shit out of that big boy.
Agreed on the ride being crashed - he's hitting it so hard it's insane! Haha
he hit
I love hearing instrumental parts of songs I love because I can find little things in the mix that sometimes get lost with the voice... Like I just realized that piano part that doubles the melody of Courtney in the chorus to give it more power...
Yeah that kind of stuff is great, and can help with your own mixes.
Same here dude. I just fall in love again with this song just for the realize of those piano keys
Everyone is rightly talking about the tight technique, but it's so musical too. Zev rocks... Thanks for this!!
Listened to Craig Reynold’s podcast with Courtney and this kid’s apparently barely old enough to drink, if at all, meanwhile I’m 32 and one energy drink away from an aneurysm

Yeah I'm 23. When I learned this dude was younger than me I flipped shit.
Im 22, i get it, i would like to be around this guy to get good at guitar…he would slap my head or something hahaha

If you think this is impressive, check out Matt Halpern and Mike Maylan.
@@MannyMo_ & Chris Turner
Dude’s a beast, Spiritbox truly captured lightning in a bottle with everyone in this band.
Zev was such a good choice for this band. He rules! Everything is so clean
Pure quality drumming. No overdoing, always flowing, tasty fills, solid groove, sticking perfectly to the song parts and riffs.
We really do love you Zev
So tight/crisp. So much groove and feel at the same time. Seriously, chills listening.

@@floralfire would love to hear the story how mike and courtney found him to be their drummer
@@floralfire what tips did he give you?
Zev obviously killed it but this playthrough in particular gave me new appreciation for Mike's writing of drum parts. Really nice work from both.
Absolute legend in the making & we are witnessing it first hand
I love Courtney i really do but this dude and that bassist are the funk in this group. Seriously congrats on a stellar 2021 spiritbox keep em coming

That fill at 2:43. Love it! That whole section (and the song while we're at it) is awesome!

I see circle with me I click harder!
I see drum play through I f'n break my screen!!!
ZEV ROSE IS GOING TO BE A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!Mark my words. Perfect blend of chops and letting the music breathe.
The live shows are going to be unbelievable! What a great drummer!
Man, it's the first time that I'm seing another "core" drum player who uses a transition ride. So nice to see ❤
The pocket of Abe Cunningham and the groove of Mario Duplantier wrapped all into one. Two of my favorite drummers in two of my favorite bands of all time. Killer stuff, dude! 🤘
Finally getting some love, man. Great playthrough, pumped for Eternal Blue.
That’s a solid drummer
Sick dude! Especially that left hand-technique 0:49 and 1:53 when you do your ghost notes on the snare part is just so flawless! Hands down
He fits this band absolutely perfect he is a big part of there sound great creativity and precision.
The power of groove compels you
Once again u have blown me away with ur bass drum work.. amazing. I do not usually comment on these type of vids. But u are awesome. I'm lovin everything u are playing..2😊😊
gosh Zev is made for this, he brings so much to the band, pure fire🔥
I love that this version is without vocals, really makes us drummers appreciate the drumming done in here. Amazing work, man.
Zev doesnt get the recognition he deserves at all
The focus, the rhythm, the subtle eyebrow raise at 2:32 😏 all makes for a perfect drum play through! This kid is going places in this band!
Can't even describe what part of my soul your melodies and your whole vibe touches, but I'm so fckng grateful that I found you! 💙
I really like how he accents every note change in the chorus with a crash hit. So crispy and adds to the depth of the sound.
The sound is actually AMAZING, perfectly clear and powerful, absolute top notch performance dude

Technique and solid blow. I like this drummer!
It's so awesome seeing Zev become more relaxed and comfortable over time. Early vids he seemed nervous
One of my favorite drummers. Hitting those cymbals with authority! Amazing!
This is sick! Tight creative grooves without being extra complex, which in my view lifts the song to a whole new level. Well done!
Such a fantastic drum part and performance!
Keep killin’ it Zev!
played this at the same time as courtneys live one take and made a little collab to blast in my house, AMAZING!!!!!
So god damn groovy. Zev quickly became one of my favorite drummers.
This dude is the heart beat of these amazing songs. Eternal Blue is going to kick so much ass.

This is some dope ass drumming!! Spiritbox will be headlining tours in no time, the whole band is crazy good.
can't get enough of it. thank you Zev. You inspire me man!
Love Zev becoming one of my fav drummers! ROCK ON BRO!!
100% gave that song that drive it needed. I am impressed with that delicate precision. Brutal af man
2:07 must be the best trick I've seen in drum playing
