You know what, after seeing all these drummers are venues like this playing with such energy, it's wrong to say they are at the wrong place. If anything, these guys are the life of the show and the whole to hire musicians for gigs like these!
As a person who listen D'n'b and other kind of electronic music and literally hate commemorative event and music related to them, I can listen this all day long! This performance is pure ART! Just amazing!
Amazing drum playing! So all over the place and at the same time so in total control of the song. It’s a joy to see and hear this! George, keep up the good work! I’m so blown away.
Best wedding band ever. Brilliant and yet also hilarious. The ladies on the other side of the partition were dancing up a storm also. Hooks is the man.
Incredible playing from George. Love how he takes what one would expect, a polka beat, and chops it up with some unique accents on the hi hat. Would love to see more from this guy.
As a drummer myself, I have much respect for this guy, who is one of the best drummers I've ever seen (and my drum teacher was the drummer for Eitan Katz, YBC, many big Jewish events, and now works on Broadway, which is a very hard job for a drummer)! I'm surprised his drum set didn't break, especially that snare drum!
correct.. & 17"&18" k dark crashes with 6" a custom splash piggy back.. I have changed the set up but still use the crashes those 12" remix are amazing..
I watch this at least twice a year for the last 7 years. Makes my day every time.
I have done the same! At least... When I need something but dont know what i go to Hooks.
Me too =)
Unbelievable ,I think same
Me too
Samesies
I endorse Zildjian for over 20 years.. I was in MD july issue 1997..
You are great drummer! Hello from Siberia!
Cheers from Moscow, George! You're doing great job, man!
Really sick drummer! Man, u absolutely great musician🤘🏻
I re-watch this every couple months, and I love it a little bit more each time I do.
Thanks to everyone nice coments & thank Monty for getting the footage..
Everybody else in the band is playing Klezmer, this guy is playing the metal. :-)
Lol!
Miks tää on heti metallia ku draivi iskee?
Wait. Is this Klezmer or Hasidic music?
Väittäisin et maailman paras rumpali:D
@@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic rofl
Party from paradise, the best drummer in the universe🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
If I can get this guy to play at my wedding, I will convert right now.
A few can afford ..to convert 😂
Look at the center of the snare... This guy's precise!!!
yep I noticed that too))
Like a Sniper 😂
Tightly dirt patterned drums!
It has a dot there from the manufacturer. He's still precise tho
Это пять! Охренеть чувак жжет, ему спокойно в топовый коллектив мировой играть можно идти.
да ему нафиг не упал топовый коллектив, он же еврей ) это круче любого топового коллектива
+Vadim Bauer-Shakhov👍😂😂👍
еврейский топовый коллектив
Да. Дрим театр, например ))
бодрый thrash-klezmer:)))
Уже много лет пересматриваю и дико респектую! Шикарный музыкант
Вот пример очень техничной и очень музыкальной игры - он очень много играет вокруг мелодии, вокруг темы. Супер))
да да да следит, там где соло потише играет и подчеркивает моменты.. грамотно
ну и звук в результате мощный) прям power-heavy-klezmer)))
Been watching this a few times a year for over a decade now
Many years later and this video kicks ass.and im a metal guy .
I had the pleasure of working with George for a year in the 90s. He is as nice a guy as he is a genius on the skins. You rock George!
You know what, after seeing all these drummers are venues like this playing with such energy, it's wrong to say they are at the wrong place. If anything, these guys are the life of the show and the whole to hire musicians for gigs like these!
Couldn't agree more!
This is what happens when you have to blast polka beat forever and start experimenting/avoiding boredom...and its very impressive!
I come to see this video his performance regularly))) Fantastic!
He is the dude! ;-) Double bass drum, good footwork and wicked style;) He should be playing in Dream Theatre
They'll be too boring for him 😅
@@RaUltra Too late. Mike Portnoy is back :)
I can watch it forever. Cosmic drummer! awesome folk traditional music
This is one of my favorite drum performances of all time.
Same
старая школа и кардан пригодился в исполнении. ))) отлично сыграно 😉
As a person who listen D'n'b and other kind of electronic music and literally hate commemorative event and music related to them, I can listen this all day long! This performance is pure ART! Just amazing!
jungle is massive
This is one of my fav. act ever!
Holy crap, George! You're KILLING this stuff!
Amazing drum playing! So all over the place and at the same time so in total control of the song. It’s a joy to see and hear this! George, keep up the good work! I’m so blown away.
Top of the line druumer... he should be on sickdrummer! !!!!!!
Dude knows the material.... Great chops,much respect.
Best wedding band ever. Brilliant and yet also hilarious. The ladies on the other side of the partition were dancing up a storm also. Hooks is the man.
Huge great drummer! Love him!
love the break and groove in 2:37
He defenitely should play in metal band.
Metal drummer!🤟Cool swing and polyrythmic!
Pure Art!
Takiego szukałem od dawna. Nie ważne że gra na imprezie czosnku z cebula ale wymiata.
His double bass is so good
Good? Dude
Awesome! cheers from Slovakia
6 лет прошло, а музыкальней барабанщика чем этот не попался
Я за 10 не нашёл
,,,,this music really develops the whole drummer hands and especially feet. Many great drummers in this style. One of the unknown great drummers.
i typed in sick drums and this is what i got............perfect
Нормально дедушка играет, не всем драммером так дано, я смотрел 10000000раз пытался содрать..... тяжело....молодец мужчина 5+++++
For klezmer music and events like this one I admire their culture. Everything from the beginning to the very end is performed perfectly.
LMFAO!! this drummer should be tearing it up in another genre xD
But awesome blending, absolute beast on the drums \m/
he is riping in antoher genres
must be a blastmitzvah
Hahaha! This was genuinely funny!
!!! מזל טוב !!!
greetings from Poland :)
Can these guys play at my wedding even though I'm not Jewish? ...or getting married lol.
Absolutely stunning! George !!!! You da man!
Look at how small the beaten zone on his snare is. Nevermind his groove, his accuracy is off the charts.
Джордж уже 10 лет меня развлекает)
Жиза
That's some KILLER SPEED on them drums DAM!
אַרטיסטיק זשעני...😍
George is one of the best drummers I've ever seen before. I'm not religious but George make their music supreme.
So much fun to watch George Hooks drum, probably my favorite drum clip.
Outstanding drumming!!! Genuinely brilliant! Love it.
You can fuck with your brain, It would be better if he drove "bald"
This is the best thing I've seen in quite some time...
Credit goes to Motty Engel, for realizing that this guy has talent worthy enough to be filmed!
damn! i like this style more than all this fuckers like hellhammer Inferno etc. YOU ROCK MAN!
Incredible playing from George. Love how he takes what one would expect, a polka beat, and chops it up with some unique accents on the hi hat. Would love to see more from this guy.
He listens to himself! The upstart wants nothing more than attention
Reminds me of Stewart Copeland with The police. Leading the band, keeping the groove but just seems like he’s doing his own thing. Love it.
Killed Christ, and that drumset.
🤣😂
OMG- Simon Phillips would be impressed!! Great playing!
Great chops! He also plays the double pedal great.
amazing foot work
i feel the gospel chops in this one! Love it!
That is amazing. Newer knew that this sort of music can have that complex patterns.
Sir, you are really amazing, so glad to have found this video, great musical skills and drumming.
This is a complete stupid house, he's a complete idiot!
Number 1 in the World. Super Master.
As a drummer myself, I have much respect for this guy, who is one of the best drummers I've ever seen (and my drum teacher was the drummer for Eitan Katz, YBC, many big Jewish events, and now works on Broadway, which is a very hard job for a drummer)!

Someone has worked hard! Fantastic player :)
Damned that song got a catching rythm! :3 Very cool :)
I dont know how i came across this video but its amazing! I love the fusion of playing styles
Get more videos from Motty Engel. Their camerawork is amazing. Kudos to the DOP.

Brutální nářez, hoši, jen tak dál!!!!
Genial Artist 😘
WOW! EXCELLENT WAY TO PLAY THE DRUMS!!!

I don't know what the music style is but the bands tight and that drummer is rocking it.
Amazing power.
This dude has it all, technique, speed, feel...fucking ripped it! My new inspiration indeed!

Impeccable drummer
The Joy of Hooks. Metal AF. Thanks for sharing this, Motty.
