Well, yes! On the one hand: Totally! On the other hand: How do you want to reach that level of musicality on drums? I mean: I would even consider myself a drummer with a lot of musicality and a love for these kind of rhythms that consider a metronome more of a guideline. But then you also need to be in this technical stuff and sound design... you won't find many people on this planet who combine these talents like Ian does. I love him. His music gives me goose bumps.
Holy fuck yes. Son Lux as Ryan Lott, Son Lux as Ryan plus Ian and Rafiq--it's what taught me how to appreciate the depth of music rather than just consume it on a superficial level.
Sophisticated, passionate, no adjective can describe enough. So in love with all of Ian’s and son lux’s work. It’s an modern art, super cool design and architecture of sound...
SO satisfying to listen to. The unexpected-ness of it all is just so great. You're like a Chopin in a drummer's form; it all sounds like improvisation, yet it's composition. I cannot wait to hear more, much love and respect :).
I really really loved you at OFF Festival 2015 (with Son Lux), I couldn't focus on any other band for the rest of the month~ I don't remember being so impressed by a drummer since I discovered The Who back in my early teens, lol. good luck~!
Oh man! You beat me to it! I've had this idea for years of triggering lights in a dark studio while I play the drums. Super dope, and great execution. Very musical and expressive-I love what you're doing with the Sensory Percussion triggers (that's what brought me here). Great work man!
Really great stuff. The execution of pocket while playing electronic drums is a unique mastery of latency and dynamic control of the velocity sensors. I just made that up and I like how it sounds lol. But in all seriousness, man I was nodding to this. Dope for sure.
Excellent. i'm curious as to how the lights were programmed to be triggered by each hit.. i know it was a MIDI signal of some sort. SunHouse Percussion is the next step in percussive evolution!
Found this great solo on Kickstarter! Wow man! Love the sound and concept! If I could I'd donate for the Kickstart Gold project this month. Been playing drums all my life and I'm 60 now. This get's pretty hot at the end. How did you interface the lights and what did the projection behind you originate from? I really really liked this alot!
Late response, but I'm converting midi to dmx signal yo control all the lights. But you can do the bass drum light thing by buying a drumlite. Look it up!

This needs to be its own genre and many more artists need to contribute because I can't get enough.

I love him. His music gives me goose bumps.
Don’t get stuck on genre names, but this falls under the Experimental, Avante-Garde music or Avante-Garde Jazz.
Check out Deantoni Parks when you can. He does this kind of thing as well.
and because of this video, I have discovered and am now a fan of Son Lux
Holy fuck yes. Son Lux as Ryan Lott, Son Lux as Ryan plus Ian and Rafiq--it's what taught me how to appreciate the depth of music rather than just consume it on a superficial level.
What I've wanted to do on drums forever..trigger sounds and lights from the kit..please post a behind the scenes!/ the making of!!
This guy pushed music to new level.
I remember Ian's performance with Son Lux always being incredibly intense. Really looking forward to witnessing this solo project at a show some time!
that's one hell of an idea. triggered lights when hitting the drums. I wanna see him do this live
That stick drag at 1:44 though
Sophisticated, passionate, no adjective can describe enough. So in love with all of Ian’s and son lux’s work. It’s an modern art, super cool design and architecture of sound...
This song is absolutely breathtaking. I can't wait for more music.
I've been back to this video a dozen times now. Just brilliant work, man.

The perfect example that you don't need the hole drum kit to make a good rhythm! Keep up the good work!
Oh man! You beat me to it! I've had this idea for years of triggering lights in a dark studio while I play the drums. Super dope, and great execution. Very musical and expressive-I love what you're doing with the Sensory Percussion triggers (that's what brought me here). Great work man!
This is the best thing ever. We need more music from you.
i just watched the Son Lux - "Easy" with Woodkid - Live at Montreux video and i find the drummer directly of course .
Wow. Ian you are incredible! I hope I can see you and the rest of Son Lux sometime soon!!
That's some special music right there. Well done man.
what an amazing combination of the light and the rhythm! waiting for a whole album of this
just wow...
Ian! Excited to support you and Landlady October 2nd at Hi-Dive in Denverrrrrrr....
went to your Son Lux concert in Munich this year, your drum solo was so f***in incredible, keep going dude this is so amazing #inspired
So good🤯, first time listening to your individual projects.

You have my undivided attention.
Loveee it! The creativity & imagination to pull this off is great! Awesome job family

so insane. i cry. all the members of son lux are geniuses
Came here from NPR video, had to check you out! Amazing stuff.
WOW...dividing beats in such a unique and expressive way...
Really great stuff. The execution of pocket while playing electronic drums is a unique mastery of latency and dynamic control of the velocity sensors. I just made that up and I like how it sounds lol. But in all seriousness, man I was nodding to this. Dope for sure.
hey ian found you on reverb not subbed to them but i subbed to your channel. respect, keep it up!
My best drums player ♥️🤗
Any chance to see it on Spotify?
First heard this on NPR today. Good stuff, I like it.
seeing this as a drummer is absolutely satisfying. so well done!
Amazing drummer! Very tasteful. Does anyone know what kind of triggers they are using? They don't look like your ordinary midi triggers...
Thanks! I'm using Sunhouse's Sensory Percussion
Sunhouse Sensory Percussion triggers. Very high end stuff haha.
Excellent. i'm curious as to how the lights were programmed to be triggered by each hit.. i know it was a MIDI signal of some sort.
SunHouse Percussion is the next step in percussive evolution!
this is awesome!
this is lovely. kudos Ian
This is awesome !! Maximum respect !!
This makes me Really want to tune my snares hella tight and go ham.
This is amazing stuff!
