The rate that these episodes are coming out is absolutely unsustainable. Not for Corey et al, obviously. He is an absolute legend and a top power house of production. But for me and the fact that watching all of these on repeat is going to get me fired from my job....
How does Cory not have 10 million subscribers? I mean seriously, the talent on show in these videos is obscene and the production quality is top notch. Damn good stuff!
Because it is, essentially, meant for musicians. And not just any musicians, but ones who appreciate the kind of polished jazz-funk that Cory & Co. play. If you aren't interested in music as a craft, and in instrumental skill as central to that, it'll have very limited appeal for you. Even then, if you're, say, a country guitarist or classical oboist or heavy metal drummer, it may not float your boat. Personally, I'm not too crazy about it - the music strikes me as conceptually easy, although requiring great ability to perform well; and Cory is a much better musician than comedian.
I get that and I don't just mean these wongnotes shows I mean across the whole range of what he uploads. When you have other quirky music channels like Davey etc doing so insanely well it's just a bit weird Cory has only 160k subs.
@@CaimanReid Davey? You mean Davie504? Prolly because he plays a character on his channel and is very millennial in his sense of humour. Guess which set of demographics use RUclips the most? Millenials. Probably that's why.. and what do most millenials listen to? Not jazz or funk in a maximum number of cases
When Nate was talking about dynamics in jazz and how drummers help other musicians build their solo, the first thing that came to mind was Cory Henry's Solo in Lingus, how Larnell Lewis really builds it with dynamicly going harder over time.
Good point. And Cory H. is so fantastic on that track, I'll admit that I'd never though of how well Larnell meshes with him. Or, how Michael keeps the bottom solid - Michael may not win too many "best bass player" polls, but he can hold it together in the company of guys that do win polls, his note choice is first-rate, his musicality is up there with theirs, and he grins so hard his head almost falls off.
Definitely. I almost prefer him on the flute than the tenor sax. He's loud on the tenor and that's great, but he's got such a great touch on the flute. But one thing's for certain - he's one badass musician and player overall.
I love how open to joking around Dave Koz is. When I first saw him I pictured him as a super serious dude with a really heavy accent. Edit: Also Cory, please talk more about figures like J Dilla, I love hearing your perspective on artist outside of your musics usual sphere of musicians.
Kenni usually breaks that out when he has something to prove and needs to shut down other soloists trying to one-up him. If you really piss him off, he also has a piccolo hidden up his sleeves and if that bad boy comes out, it's game over!
John Woo doves… John Woo doves… Cory, I’ll bet you fifty gallons of hand made Arnold Palmer if you create from inspiration and name a track “John Woo Doves”. Don’t be soft boiled Cory. You can do it.
I'm absolutely a big fan of Corey Wong because at a time whereas the rhythm guitar player is faded for the lead guitar player. I'm a self taught rhythm guitar player and studied the greats from past to present. Corey reopens the door of HOPE for guitar pocket players like me. Thank You Corey For These Great Videos!!🏆👑🏆
"Squeezify" is GENIUS!! (Hey, I don't mean the sketch - although Koz KILLS it! - heck no, I mean Global Lemonade Access for $10/month!! Sign me up.) Keep it up, Cory!!
"You fill in the gaps with your own imagination. Like, I can't execute that buddy rich thing, so im gonna get close and tie those last two beats together with something that I make up. That little something that you make up... That's what YOU sound like. It becomes your thing. When you reach the height of your technical limitations and you still push through... Whatever you playing, that's really what you sound like." MIND BLOWN!!!! Nate Smith you just nailed me with that!!!
hello, I have this problem that when I listen to the musician interview I always try to look to the people that appear in those conversation but I find it really hard because some of nicknames or just names are unrecognizeble for guy that do not already know them. If you could make a list of names in credits or do a little editing on interview segment, I (and I believe loads of people) will be so thankful! It's for our musical knowledge and could make us better!
You mean the names that they call out during the discussion? That's a good suggestion. Even just a short text blurb with the name and a mini-description would be informative.
Somewhere else in here someone said it's because it's music for musicians. While that may be the case, I don't think that's the whole answer. I'm not a musician, but LOVE Cory's musical abilities and what he puts out! As a music lover, his music really makes me wanna listen and listen some more! the band here is top notch, every episode again.
Im just so grateful for this show and those interviews. So many interesting insights and lessons to be taken from them. And the production quality just keeps getting better and better- I can't beleive this isnt a show airing on TV
Another incredible episode! It's actually insane that content like this is available to us for free. Nate Smith might be my favorite drummer. He's just got that impeccable feel that elicits the stank face in the first 2 seconds of playing. He can put so much personality in the simplest of beats. Incredible.
Pro drummer here....I have never seen such love and such deeeep understanding for drums by a guy like Cory. I'm absolutely floored by the talent this man has. He is so unbelievably creative and multi-talented. Could he be a film maker? My guess is YES. Is he a monster on guitar? Yes. Bass? Yes. Is he a master bandleader? Yes. Producer? Yes. Engineer? Yes. Song writer? Yes. Comedian? Yes. Philosopher? Yes. Yes yes yes...This guy is so freaking talented. I honestly don't know what he will do next but whatever the next level to his career is, he is ready. I want him to have massive success. I want him to have whatever his dreams are, to be realized. I am just so grateful that he is alive and healthy and will be around for a while. It seems like these guys who are this super talented always have some demons that end up cutting their careers and sometimes lives short and I feel truly blessed that he will be here making music for a long time!!
Oh, man, I like the tune at 7:45 - cool progression, cool brass orchestration. Cory quite successfully channels Walter Becker on rhythm and Jon Herington on lead. All it needs, over the top, is a sour-toned, incredibly nasal, New York-accented voice singing sardonic, cynical Beat Poetry about one or another pseudo-hip, contemptible, but pathetic big-city losers.
The MOST UNDERRATED channel on RUclips. Cory should have at least 1 million subs if not more. Proof, that most folks can't appreciate what is contained in each of these videos. Incredible.
Such nicely constructed compositions and entertaining videos of them. Wynton Marsallis once said “play softer but swing(groove) louder” to drummers. That’s good advice to all musicians imho.
Finally, the episode to host Olympia has arrived! What an absolutely incredible, special track. Very thankful to now have a video recording of its session!!
Cory Wong: amazing musician, in a band with more amazing musicians, releasing original and wonderfully arranged music. Views ranging up to 100-200k views (still good). Jake Paul: It's Everyday Bro, 290m views. The world is broken. But I am sure glad it's broken with absolute legends like Cory, Vulfpeck, Wooten, and all the other many amazing musicians out there trying to keep us all afloat above the garbage! :)
I've never seen or heard Nate Smith in conversation before (have heard of his drumming as I have one of his loop packages.) Man, what an intelligent, perceptive, aware, articulate and wonderful person he is. And Cory does a great job interviewing him.
I saw one single concert at the Iowa city Jazz festival in 2009 before going to music college for 5 years right at the end of my senior year. The most inspirational event I have ever been to in my life. He played with Chris Potter and the Dave Holland quintet. The greatest drumming I have ever seen in my life and Chris Potter was a fucking alien god on the saxophone. The best living drummer period.
I can't handle how effen cool these are. Perfect for those of us who adore music and learning stuff. Victor Wooten episode blew me away. Truly entertaining in the best way possible. Corey Wong!
some past interviews left me wanting for more, like some topics seemed really vague. not with Nate Smith, he is just soooo heavy with information (and a great conversationalist too so not like I'm listening to a lecture). would be so nice to see him as a guest again
Bc he's a better actor than musician/guitarist/guitar player...............he should never have even touched Princes' guitar...how did that even happen????????????????
@@xthexadvantagex yeah, i like JD Beck too. Will check out the other one though. Check out Dany Carey from Tool if you haven't already. There s a drum cam Video on RUclips. absolutely amazing. Sergio Acedo is another one to looking for, if you prefer funk, soul and jazz. Peace
Good LORD this is gold. They keep hitting us with gold. There is such value in what is being said, and as a music teacher, Lord knows that I’m going to be integrating some of these clips into lessons 🤘🏾
I’ve always thought that about the push and pull Dilla/drunk feel. It’s not just the drummer. If the drummer asserts it all himself 99% of the time it’ll sound forced unless the musicians are all improvising and catch it quickly
Careful not to upset Big Spotify, who knows what they'll make the algorithm do to you 😱 Also I loved Nate Smith in Cosmic Sans! He's such a great drummer
Looks like a wicked tasty glass of piss, LOL. On a serious note, wouldn't it be wonderful if it became standard practice for music teachers and educators to show Cory's videos??! Nate and Cory's conversation about feel was some pure gold - Particularly as a drummer and bassist!
Really fascinating to hear the word 'gears' used in this context - it's a concept that i've encountered in discussion of modern cuban music before with a slightly different meaning (Look up Beyond Salsa percussion)
I wish my musical IQ was higher. I am absolutely certain there are puns / humor in some of the comedy sketches that goes over my head. Even so, I love not only the musical talent, but the also the humor and points made with the humor. The level of creativity is mind blowing... Thank you Cory and and Wongnotes!! See you all live in March '23
Hi to The other drummers watching this, if you want a really good Way of thinking about Groove, and also how to get better at it (not just that, if you dont have it then its too bad, because that is not true) then check out Benny Grebs clinic clips on RUclips as Well as his own Channel. He’s also made i Think three teaching pieces, one on Groove in video format, one on practicing in book format which btw is for everyone, not just drummers, and a rhythmic vocabolary piece. And as great as he is at drums, just as good is he at explaining Music. He’s peobably the only Reading why still feel motivated for Music, and feel like im progressing in the best Way possible. Much love Benny
I've hated recorded cymbals since we started compressing music digitally. I thought the link was causal but now I wonder if it's only on songs with vocals....
Some wonder why this guy hasn't got more subscribers? Because he doesn't come across as authentic. He behaves like an actor not like a musician. It's all a spectacle! You can guess that this video was choreographed and rehearsed until it fits 100% with all these movie props. A musician, however, goes on stage and everything has to be correct. There are no repetitions on stage. We are musicians, no actors!
OK so in the discussion with Nate. I really would have liked to hear what the take is on drummers like Richie Hayward and Dave Garibaldi. Sure Garibaldi has the ton of discipline to play backbeat but Richie figured out how to keep the discipline part behind the curtain. ruclips.net/video/H29UNZCYQbg/видео.html

How does Cory not have 10 million subscribers? I mean seriously, the talent on show in these videos is obscene and the production quality is top notch. Damn good stuff!

Personally, I'm not too crazy about it - the music strikes me as conceptually easy, although requiring great ability to perform well; and Cory is a much better musician than comedian.
because real talent is lost on most of the world that just wants to watch tiktoks
Because not everyone has the ear for this kinda music and most would rather listen to something easier to digest and because Cory isn't a supermodel.
I get that and I don't just mean these wongnotes shows I mean across the whole range of what he uploads. When you have other quirky music channels like Davey etc doing so insanely well it's just a bit weird Cory has only 160k subs.

OMG I knew it ! We had Mark, now Nate. Can't wait to see Joe next !
CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE VULFPECK AND THE WONGNOTES
Vulfy and the Wong Pecks
Yessss
hour long programming that is infinitely more entertaining than anything on cable TV.. and it's free.. Cory Wong is a revolution
Didn't know Koz had acting chops, but I'm happy to report that I hate that CEO from the first bit with every fiber of my being! Well done, Dave!
It seems from this 'episode' that Cory also has acting chops! 😉
My 12 year old son and I love your RUclips content. Thank you so much for giving us something to connect on.
Yo is this…. a SUPERCOMMENT?!?!
@@ellisbenm You dont see this much hahaha

outlier too man, what a synergy he demonstrate in the whole song with the band
that performance was really out of this world,,, good call
NAILED IT

LOL! The world lost a great actor when Koz discovered the sax. 😂
Kenni is absolutely nuts on flute.
Definitely. I almost prefer him on the flute than the tenor sax. He's loud on the tenor and that's great, but he's got such a great touch on the flute. But one thing's for certain - he's one badass musician and player overall.
I love how open to joking around Dave Koz is. When I first saw him I pictured him as a super serious dude with a really heavy accent.
Edit: Also Cory, please talk more about figures like J Dilla, I love hearing your perspective on artist outside of your musics usual sphere of musicians.
How is it posible that every upload instantly becomes a masterpiece?? The quality of the productions and the music!! OMG the music…
Just a little side note. The lighting in this video is phenomenal. The love for music in these videos is amazing. Thank you
As a drummer, could listen to Nate Smith talk and play all day.
Even those of us who aren't!
As a guitarist, so could I.
You know it's a good day when they bust out the flute
Kenni usually breaks that out when he has something to prove and needs to shut down other soloists trying to one-up him. If you really piss him off, he also has a piccolo hidden up his sleeves and if that bad boy comes out, it's game over!
John Woo doves… John Woo doves…

That guitar solo on Olympia reminded me of Welcome to Station Square song from Sonic Adventure. Good times playing that game. Great song also!
Damn I thought that exact same thing 🤣
OMG give Dave Koz an OSCAR now!!!
"The Wong cinematic universe" 😆
10/10 would watch tho.
Cory has such showmanship. Truly a great and captivating performer. I really dig this guy and what he has going. Noice.
The MOST UNDERRATED channel on RUclips. Cory should have at least 1 million subs if not more. Proof, that most folks can't appreciate what is contained in each of these videos. Incredible.
That is because it isn’t music or content that the millions of sheep are told to like.
So glad to hear Nate talking about the three piece drum kit, it's so nice conceptually and sonically
Such nicely constructed compositions and entertaining videos of them. Wynton Marsallis once said “play softer but swing(groove) louder” to drummers. That’s good advice to all musicians imho.
The squeezify section is absolutely brilliant!
Finally, the episode to host Olympia has arrived! What an absolutely incredible, special track. Very thankful to now have a video recording of its session!!

You can tell good drummers from just a second of playing, and it can be the simplest thing. Nate rocks the hell out of everything he plays.

These are great! Commenting for algorithm and wider audience.
Compressix.... I almost started crying with laughter!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The last two guest (Nate and Victor) interviews has been brilliant. I really feel spoken to helped to push ahead in my journey as a musician.
Got to have a side gig. This is Dave Koz's.
I saw one single concert at the Iowa city Jazz festival in 2009 before going to music college for 5 years right at the end of my senior year. The most inspirational event I have ever been to in my life. He played with Chris Potter and the Dave Holland quintet. The greatest drumming I have ever seen in my life and Chris Potter was a fucking alien god on the saxophone. The best living drummer period.
I like the other drummer.... Nate works with the small group
Ten dollars a month is more than I used to spend on the Lemon industry. So in a way it made the lemon grower industry bigger
The audio engineering on this is absolutely incredible. Sounds like an album rather than a YT video.
Olympia kicks in with heavy st denis vibes. Pretty sure mr Hargrove is jamming to this tune up there
Like twitter most of RUclips’s “subscribers” are not real…..don’t worry Mr. Wong, anyone who is actually subscribed loves this content.
i love your content so much, how is this a free youtube show???
This is just too much. Cory out here blessing the world with musical wisdom and beautiful sounds of funk.
what is the name of the percussive instrument at 12:52?
Cory is a beautiful creative mind and a light in a musician's path 💛💜💚
I can't handle how effen cool these are. Perfect for those of us who adore music and learning stuff. Victor Wooten episode blew me away. Truly entertaining in the best way possible. Corey Wong!
I've gotten so used to Petar playing that when Nate popped on the screen I was like "Whoa, that guy is playing drums backwards."
best thing on the internet. no cap
The skits are really funny, but then the interviews are really cool. Love this show!
some past interviews left me wanting for more, like some topics seemed really vague. not with Nate Smith, he is just soooo heavy with information (and a great conversationalist too so not like I'm listening to a lecture). would be so nice to see him as a guest again
Seriously I need a full version of the groove at 5:00 when sunny comes in and the rest of the rhythm section. I come back here every fortnight.
Thank you Corey and Nate!!!
first song gives strasbourg / st. denis vibes. a bit
Some musicians disappoint once they open their mouths to speak. Nate and Cory just get more awesome.
So true. Some are so abstract that they seem to be saying nothing.
Ooooo this is definitely a new favorite of mine. The overall tone and vibe is so gooddd. Awesome job everyone!!!

So much in the first few minutes - Cory magically appearing, the Air Serbia! LOL. Then Petar going viral on Serbian TV. What's next?
I wasn't expected this wonderful interview. This interview should really be mentioned in the title! ;)
4:06 How does Nate put so much STANK on such a basic beat???
Careful not to upset Big Spotify, who knows what they'll make the algorithm do to you 😱
Also I loved Nate Smith in Cosmic Sans! He's such a great drummer
Spotify barely pays out anyway, it's truly awful.
