    • @haarmonic
      @haarmonic 2 года назад +14

      @@rimenuir910 lol the rhythm? it's not like their hands match up. You should learn up on the concept of improvisation in jazz. "Riffing off of each other" is a huge part of it. Specifically, inferring rhythm melodies from the context of the song. To a trained drummer, he played the only fill that made any sense.

    • @rimenuir910
      @rimenuir910 2 года назад +1

      @@haarmonic See, a 6 fill makes sense, a 4 beat 6 fill is way too coincidental? Also all the feel changes he seemed to pick up a little to quickly. Even as a well trained drummer (8 years marching snare, 15 years as a trained drumset player) his grip on the changes feels like he is prepared for a feel change. Also the fill to the end. I think he has 100% heard this song at least once before.

There are maybe a handful of people in the world with that wealth of specialized improvisational experience across the clusterfuck of genres he's asked to play

      Adlibing. Think of him like a reverse Jazz musician, most Jazz establishes a normal rhythm provided by the drums and the other players (Sax, Guitar, Ect) improvise around it. For 8 bit, all the other musicians are playing an established song, allowing him to do rhythm improvisation on the drums instead.
