Musical theater songs always have such great percussion parts.
No, not always. I'm looking at you Sound of Music
That was...disgustingly accurate. That was like I was listening to the actual song off the soundtrack. That is *not* an easy song with all the variations and intensity shifts constantly thrown at you, but you absolutely NAILED it. Nice work!! Well done sir.
Haha thanks! Definitely put in the work learning this one. So rewarding though, Defying Gravity just feels so good to play.
I've had the privilege of being down in the pit for Wicked, and the actual drummer is set up like this. Drummer is not in the pit, has a video showing the stage and conductor, and is just off in a different room away from everyone else. Pretty cool how all of this works together!!
In Chicago we had the drummer in the pit
@@drum789 must’ve had a bigger pit than ours!😄
The technical skill and attention to the score here is off the scale. Unbelievable
Thanks!
This song is the stand out song in Wicked and I love playing along to this guy as he nails it plus he’s so easy to follow…he deserves the 87k views twice over…brilliant
Damn, all this time I thought there was a whole crew of drummers. That was an amazing performance!
There's a drummer and a percussionist. The percussion setup is actually rather impressive, if you get a chance to see the pit. There are the usual suspects, vibes, glock, xylo, timpani, concert bass, cymbals, plus a bunch of toys, even including a comparatively rare instrument called a trine (also used in Les Mis, actually).
Wow, wow, wow!!! Standing ovation!!
The drums in this song seem very... hidden. They serve an incredibly important role, but stay in the background.
Great arrangement, and great playing by you.
Thanks!
The absolute GOOSEBUMPS I just got omg. This was AMAZING.
This video just came up in my feed, I am a drummer and often get videos of Drummers but they are almost exclusive rock band drummers. Watch you perform this style of drumming was mesmerizing. I immediately liked and subscribed. Fascinating skills that you have Jeremy. Absolute masterclass, I look forward to watching your back catalogue and to see what you cover off next. Just brilliant.
Wow! Thank you so much!
I’ve studied this recording so much that I could hear most of your entrances in my head right before you came in, but I’ve not studied the percussion deeply. Thank you for filling in all the holes I still had for what was happening in the score!
Happy to help!
By far the best song in Wicked and this guy absolutely nails it…have been using this vid as a guide to play along to…brilliant
I listen to alot of pop/rock/hip-hop drummers, but playing a soundtrack after the music sheet is a whole other level! I'm impressed! Congratulations!
Thank you!
Brilliant!
Fantastic performance. Always felt that the drums lift up and carries the impact of this song and this video and the talent shown - puts it clearly on display.
Now I want an electric Kit just to learn this song. Congrats! Amazing performance.
Thanks!
Hey man you seriously kicked ass. Google spying on me again but im glad for once got fed something worth my time to watch over and over again.
Amazing
All I Can Say Is "WOW" outstanding sight reading..."WOW" !!
I love 3:26!
I don’t play. I wish I could. I never saw Wicked either… but ….. I could watch this for hours. It’s so good.
Love the hand counting during the rests. I do it in my car all the time and assume people think I'm a psycho. Fantastic work my dude.
Absolutely Brilliant!!! I was applauding at the end! I love the percussion to Wicked and although I'm no expert, I'd say you nailed that :)
Thanks so much!
I’ve had this song on a daily, love the drum part, epic rawk drama
