This really puts into perspective just how important not only the actual playing is, but the way the drums are set up and recorded, his kit just SOUNDS like a metal kit, cause that's how it's set up, there's a lot less dynamic capability, the cymbals are all punchy, the kick is triggered, the snare dominates, its crazy to see how different styles of music need different setups and recording / mixing styles. Very interesting!
I'm not even a drummer and I was just thinking that it sounds like its set up for metal because of the triggered kicks. Its all really tight and sharp and loud sounding. I was thinking it might make a big difference if he was doing it on a different kit. Im glad to know I was thinking on the right track being terrible at drums and knowing next to nothing about them myself.
Every drum on his kit uses a little trigger. He blends in just a bit of top-mic on the snare. It's really hard to duplicate jazz dynamics with a setup like his.
Man! Why not message Sam so you can make a collab video? Like Metal drummer attempt jazz episode 2! You choose the songs that he's going to play! Great reaction btw!!! 🤘
With so many fake “reaction” videos out there, I truly appreciate him keeping it honest and uploading it anyway. And yes the ad started right on cue for me too. 😂
I am a drummer but was asked to try out for bass in a cover band. When we took a break I asked to sit on the kit. Did some triplet rudiments across the kit to get a feel. Drummer snarled with a comment of Yeah but can you keep a beat? Broke out with Would from AiC and he had to pick his jaw up off the floor. I didn't get the gig but guitarist started another project and asked for my drumming. Lead to 2 of my closest friends 15 years later.
Fuckin' right dude. Your whole point about getting a double pedal and maybe not mastering it, but learning something from it and appreciating it. Yes. We need more of that in life, let alone just music. Good to see you back, bro.
I’m so happy to see a new video from you man! Samus’s kit is heavily triggered so it would definitely be a weird fit on a jazz stage, but he is a fucking beast. I love your takes on things and how honest you are, and how open you are to such different styles. I miss your videos and hope your new space and settling into the new baby means more videos.
Well said “Stop shitting on what your not” because of that I’m subscribing. I play, horribly, but I love it and won’t stop till I improve. Even minutely. It’s a passion not critique
This might sound like sarcasm but it is not: I’m really glad you just left the mistake of not downloading the video instead of starting over. With kids you gotta just roll with it.
As someone who has been listening to all kinds of metal music for years, I enjoy these kind of reaction videos. Now I listen to not only metal but also jazz, fusion, blues, classical, ambiance, and many other genres with pleasure. Also included are tons of bands and guitar virtuosos. The mixing of musical genres makes music incredibly delicious. And it's very professional, especially when drummers of different genres try to understand each other's music. Normally, some metal bands had drummers with a jazz background and they accomplished great things. There are also metal musicians who later played jazz and fusion. Each genre has its own challenges and tricks. Exploring all of this is so much fun. I think a musician nowadays has to be versatile. This brings great success. Garrett and other metal and jazz musicians are actually doing a very important job. For example, now all great guitar virtuosos choose to work with drummers with versatility. Genres have long been mixed, in fact. And that's a good thing.
you're the only real youtuber garrett. nobody else talks to the camera like they kinda don't wanna be here like you and its just like having a sorta forced conversation with somebody you like but don't know very well outside the gig like in the old times.
Yooooooo the homie is back. Bro we need so many videos. Your take on music is absolutely refreshing, and you actually know what you’re talking about. Thanks for the comeback, hopefully more come!
Man. Just relax... we are here to enjoy your stuff that you have to offer. Breathe sir... breathe. :D I am so glad that you are back in the saddle. Be well Sir
Duuuude! You were missed very much, man. Hope you're more than alright, I loved this one and can't wait for the next one! Word on your highlight about people over judging each other.
A good drummer is a good drummer, and you can definately hear that Sam is a metal drummer playing jazz. Super clean, perhaps a bit too clean for jazz enthusiasts. Probably very loud as well. Happy your posting videos again!
Hey, good to see a video from you again! I like to see your takes on some metal stuff as well as have input from a jazz perspective. Keep it up, Garrett!
Awesome set up dude good to see you back! I'm glad everything's going okay with your eyes I hope that continues and there's no more problems in the "seeable" future. Ha ha! Horrible puns...
I enjoyed him doing jazz with a metal flair. I'm not a drummer and I can't do metal or jazz on drums, but I'm an aficionado. I'm a keyboardist. But I also appreciate crossover styles, so his stuff was right up my alley. BTW, I'm also a sound engineer. If I had him in a small venue with a jazz group, I'd love to have him in the room, but that wouldn't be possible. I'd have to put him in a surround to control the drums. Nice thing about small venue drummers is the natural sound of the drums, but I can do the more processed heavier stuff where it fits.
Interesting. I watched 66Samus' video, and liked his sense of humour, re the whole "jazz thing". As a non-drummer (actually a mediocre bassist), It's sort of easy, and difficult at the same time to critique his jazz playing.... My thoughts, as someone who has spent many evenings at a small jazz club in London, are that there is a subtlety that a good jazz drummer gets, that seems to go out of the window, when the "metal" guys get involved. I watched and listened to guys like the (sadly) late Chris Dagley, and loved the dynamics he could get out of a small jazz kit (one kick, one hanging tom, and just a couple of cymbals). Going from seeming whisper quietness, to full on attack, but never overwhelming the rest of the band. I guess that part of it, is that most jazzers I know and have listened to, are usually playing small venues, where they are mixing themselves to the rest of the band, without monitors, big PA systems, and that seems to be a crucial element. The ghost notes, which get the subtleties of the feel, tend to get lost on a big kit, where volume seems to be a priority. I remember another drummer i used to really enjoy, Ben reynolds, who plays in The Horne Section, doing a latin number with one hand just keeping the main rhythm with a shaker, and the other hand playing the rest of the kit. And he just grooved. I'm sure that neither of these guys would fit into a metal band, so it's sort of "horses for courses". have
Supposedly you can also jump to the end of the video first: It will then play/trigger all ads. Now you can go back to the start and play/record without interruptions.
Looking great bud, great to have you back! ...since I'm confronted a lot with Jazz and Metal but not a drummer myself. I sometimes think that Jazz drums is like progressive Metal drums, but with more dynamics and finesse... Guess I need to learn more. haha

Was thinking the same thing. Especially the snare.
@@novclo yep. The light ghost notes were just not ghosty enough
no...its all in the wrist..
I would buy a “stop shitting on things for what they’re not” shirt. That is a fantastic philosophy on life in general. Glad to see you back!
that's actually a pretty damn good quote
Hell yeah. That’s gospel.
so true for so many things, i second that as a shirt
Particularly relevant when it comes to music.
applies to so much of internet/youtube discourse lol
Garretts back!!! Missed u bro
This!
Agreed!
Same
Yep
holy shit it's Bill Cosby
Man! Why not message Sam so you can make a collab video? Like Metal drummer attempt jazz episode 2! You choose the songs that he's going to play! Great reaction btw!!! 🤘
That would be a fun!
Would be fair/fun if he covered a metal song of 666’s choice.
Lol you said “Ah the ads!” And immediately an ad started for YOUR video lmao
With so many fake “reaction” videos out there, I truly appreciate him keeping it honest and uploading it anyway. And yes the ad started right on cue for me too. 😂
Same... haha
Because that's where he decided to place his ad lol. We're in the future guys
I am a drummer but was asked to try out for bass in a cover band. When we took a break I asked to sit on the kit. Did some triplet rudiments across the kit to get a feel.

Alice in chains is my all time favorite band ever
The GMD logo looks like it'd fit a black metal re-work, with the M as a goat head and the G and D as its horns.
66Samus is a very funny dude, an amazing drummer, and a hell of a cool duder..🤘
Why doesn't this have 22 likes ?
IS he a cool dude ??
Geebz takes a break and Garrett comes back with a new video. What a week.
Geebz is awesome!
Hahaha
Geebz is really amazing!
AWWWWRIGHT!!
Yessss. He's back!
His drums sound so metal, which it adds to the crossover feel.
"Take things for what they are." The short rant at the end made this.
Fuckin' right dude. Your whole point about getting a double pedal and maybe not mastering it, but learning something from it and appreciating it. Yes. We need more of that in life, let alone just music. Good to see you back, bro.
Man, we are so glad you're back, much love from germany ❤️
This is so much fun to watch. I don’t know anything about drumming but watching two passionate musicians having fun has a great energy.
You got that "I've got a newborn" face look hahahaha. I never appreciated how hard kids are until I started working for families in disability.
I’m so happy to see a new video from you man! Samus’s kit is heavily triggered so it would definitely be a weird fit on a jazz stage, but he is a fucking beast.
I love your takes on things and how honest you are, and how open you are to such different styles. I miss your videos and hope your new space and settling into the new baby means more videos.

Now THIS is an ambitious crossover.
Seeing your videos pop up brightens my day CONSISTANTLY.
Big love, my dude

Yooooooo the homie is back. Bro we need so many videos. Your take on music is absolutely refreshing, and you actually know what you’re talking about. Thanks for the comeback, hopefully more come!
Glad to have you back my guy.
Just throwing it out there, check out Arch Echo. The drummer is wonderful.
Such an under recognized band. And besides just being crazy good, they have so much fun energy when playing it's infectious.
Dude I love my hemiola tee. Rock it all the time and love answering questions about it. Glad you’re back 🤘
As soon as you said "This is gonna be a problem. The ads, oh" I got an ad in your video LMAO
Happy to see you back, you bring me joy :)
It's great to hear your eyes are fixed, Garrett.
Man. Just relax... we are here to enjoy your stuff that you have to offer. Breathe sir... breathe. :D I am so glad that you are back in the saddle. Be well Sir
Good to see you back my friend. Hope you’ve been well. Was a little worried with the video saying you’ve had a rough time with life.
The moment your ad ended, I got 1!
Same. Very inception

Duuuude! You were missed very much, man. Hope you're more than alright, I loved this one and can't wait for the next one!
Word on your highlight about people over judging each other.
Nice to see you again!
A good drummer is a good drummer, and you can definately hear that Sam is a metal drummer playing jazz. Super clean, perhaps a bit too clean for jazz enthusiasts. Probably very loud as well. Happy your posting videos again!
Hi! Glad to see you back! Mgla - age of excuse I drum rehearsal pls
Oh hell yeah. Anything from that album is amazing. His cymbal works are so subtle
glad yer eyes are better, Garrett. wishin you the best.
Your videos and Sam's videos are my favorite drum videos out here in the Intranuts.
Happy to see you back man!!
Welcome back, congrats on the new family addition!
‘Hemiola’ t-shirt is dope man. Sick logo design! Also I’m looking forward to more of your insights now you can pause.
It's always peculiar watching someone who usually wears glasses, not wearing glasses.
It's like there's an important part of your face missing.
I knew something was fucky with him in this video. that's what it was..
Hey, good to see a video from you again! I like to see your takes on some metal stuff as well as have input from a jazz perspective. Keep it up, Garrett!
can't wait for "Drumline Drummer reacts to Jazz Drummer reacting to Metal Drummer Drumming Jazz"
40 ROLL reaction. You will not be disappointed
The way to do it is to use a youtube ad blocker. There are extensions for almost every browser.
Awesome set up dude good to see you back! I'm glad everything's going okay with your eyes I hope that continues and there's no more problems in the "seeable" future.
Ha ha!
Horrible puns...
For the ADS, enable an ad-blocker
I think he did well, which shows metal drummers can play anything
good to see you again Garrett!
Ayyyyyyyy! Good to see ya bud!
Welcome back my dude!!! Missed ya!
The Rosanna Shuffle is actually the Purdie Shuffle with some extra shit thrown in there. Awesome stuff.
I enjoyed him doing jazz with a metal flair. I'm not a drummer and I can't do metal or jazz on drums, but I'm an aficionado. I'm a keyboardist.

Great video and awesome comment at the end.
Welcome back, glad to see you're healthy!
Glad you doing better dude!!!
Glad to see you again mate
I get an ad right when the ad popped up on Sam's channel
You point the ads out, immediately I get 2 ads... thanks bro, lol.
tfw the ad start in the video right when the ad starts in the video
Welcome back, Garrett! Good choice for a video too!
Great to see you back at it! It still sounds like Sam, but that's not a bad thing. I love Sam's sense of humor when he speaks also.

Glad you're back! With your new setup maybe you should do some live streams!
Supposedly you can also jump to the end of the video first: It will then play/trigger all ads. Now you can go back to the start and play/record without interruptions.
Just noticed the NOFX shirt, love it!
Great to have you back. Would be interested in a reaction to more jazz/fusion drummers. Maybe Sarah Thawer or Sput Searight. Have a good one
Looking great bud, great to have you back! ...since I'm confronted a lot with Jazz and Metal but not a drummer myself. I sometimes think that Jazz drums is like progressive Metal drums, but with more dynamics and finesse... Guess I need to learn more. haha
Metal and jazz compliment each other wayyyyy more than people realize!
Nice to see you back. Nice logo too! La Feile Padraig!
them triggers make the drums sound so good
We’re back babbyyyy!
