  • My attempt at playing through this modern rendition of the Bill Bruford tune, "Beelzebub." Special thanks to César Zolhof and his group for their original cover video and accompanying backing track. Links to their video and the original tune are below. Enjoy!

      looks impressive, is it all in one take? (no edit?) i actually don't know that song, what's the hardest part about it? I love that you are challenging yourself, what about some up tempo jazz? ruclips.net/video/evbYrCmKGr0/видео.html / ; or maybe some Tigran Hamasyan?

      While I certainly loved the concentration you had going on with your eyes closed, I double loved when you would turn your head to look towards your crashes to look at them even though your eyes weren't even open. It made me laugh. Sweet tune and great playing as always!

      @@pierreg8562 Yea it's all one take. And the whole song is hard, from start to finish haha. Tigran's a beast so maybe one day I'll try something like that.

    @ryancox5097 3 года назад +77

    You can see in Austin's body language that he's concentrating, and drummers who don't have a lot of recording experience might mistake that for an inability to play this song down comfortably. But I'm 99% sure that what he's concentrating on isn't so much the song itself, but playing it extremely cleanly. People with a lot of recording experience know that even their best takes will have occasional rhythmic inconsistencies, hiccups in the time, etc. He's playing a tough, tough song here, but he's also trying to play it without even microscopic errors.
    Dude knows what he's doing.

    Bruford was the master of odd time signatures . Not many cover him . Very good

    Everybody who is new to that freakn britttttishsm snoby jazz-rock: Bill came from YES, than he joined KING CRIMSON, went on tour with GENESIS, founded UK (where he met Allan), then took Allan, Jeff Berlin and Dave Steward for his first solo album, called Feels good to me....... I'll be forever a lifetime fan, cause this music had an immense influence on me and stay in my pocket .........Maybe Bruford invented that kind of linear drumming, he played stuff like that back in 1969......

  • @ThomasLuongo
    @ThomasLuongo 3 года назад +9

    Great job man. Those Bruford albums are foundational for me along with Bill's Earthworks. And as hard as that is, Bill makes it look effortless. And that's what's truly scary.

    @MDNDrums 3 года назад +14

    This song looks devilishly hard... devilishly... see what I did there? I'll see myself out.
    Jokes aside, this is unbelievable. Impeccable playing and video production too! Can't wait for the Study The Greats ep on this, Austin is the king.

    You placed your flag atop Mount Bruford! Awesome job! I’ve been playing this in my head since I bought the LP in 1977. So tough to stay in that polyrhythmic groove.👍👍

    Very nice. Very well done Austin. You don't often hear much about Bill Bruford these days. What a total shame. He was truly a driving force in the creative side of drumming. He clearly doesn't get enough credit for his part. Thanks for bringing him out of obscurity and into the light. For those who aren't familiar with his work, bring him up on youtube . He has numerous projects filed. Great stuff.

    • @bobcarr2649
      @bobcarr2649 3 года назад

      He's retired from music, playing at the very least. He's done his time in the trenches so he deserves a rest. Probably the most influential player I've heard without in any way sounding like him...being good and all.

    Hey! Welcome back brother! Was wondering how you’re doing and hoping to see a vid. And wow, here you are, interestingly bringing a Bruford favorite! Very timely! I’ve also been deep diving into his various musical excursions over the last few months. And just prior to that , found myself playing this (9/8 or bar of 5 /bar of 4) very groove and for awhile not being able to quite remember where I stole it from haha. Then finally listened to Feels Good To Me once again and aHA! There it is. Used to play (try!!) along to this whole album when it came out. Killer version and amazing drumming as always!! Thanks again!!!
