Very cool gentleman, digging the vibe, and thanks for a cool idea. I use bongos sometimes in my set up but on a stand and positioned sideways. I like the way you used the bass drum and changed them vertically. Gunna try it out.
But do y’all actually listen to Witherfall? Like do y’all stream the music and attend the shows? I’m just wondering…it seems like a lot of energy is being spent on bashing Mike for being unprofessional and missing the gig but do y’all put that same energy into actually supporting the band? 🧐🧐🧐 just wondering because it really just sounds like some drummers who aren’t as good hating on someone who did some dirt but is still WAAAAYY better than y’all. There are soooo many great drummers and musicians who have done fucked up things… missed gigs, cancelled sessions, showing up late, not showing up at all… if you think the greats haven’t done this then u haven’t studied the greats. I guess I’m just confused as to why everyone seems emotionally invested…. The reality is simple… he’s a beast on the drums and he’s clearly burned some bridges but he’s still a beast 😂
Is anyone criticizing his skills as a drummer? Jaco Pastorius was a genius bass player, but by the end of his life, he wasn't getting gigs because he was hard to work with. I can still appreciate Jaco's skills and songs but the criticism for his unprofessionalism is absolutely valid. What this drummer did is still messed up and deserves to be called out.
@@bigxjon91 lol, nope. It just doesn't matter who he did that to. He could have done it to the Baby Shark touring band for all I care, and I'd still think it was messed up.
@@luismigelgb nobody is negating that it’s unprofessional but if you feel like going on podcasts and outing someone and then going on unrelated videos and commenting is the moral high ground then you’re tripping dog
Goddamn this is a critique isn’t it? If that’s what you feel then that is that. It’s not what I feel period end! Like what you and I like and never the Twain shall meet. He reminds me of so much of your generation “bad copies” of what already has been done. Listen to “Return to Forever” Lenny White that’s who he’s trying desperately to imitate. He’s has very fast hands and feet but plays often in 4/4 and he’s limited. I hope he develops out of the same style and develops his own. Ciao.
🔥🔥🔥 Side Note: Seeing a bunch of drummers/people who can’t play act like a little p*ssy in the comments over ONE missed gig for a whack a** metal band that majority of the world doesn’t care for is the funniest thing ever! 😂 (We’re all human).
Funny you should ask... he took a gig filling in for Witherfall and basically made no attempt to learn the songs until the last minute. He underestimated how complicated it was. He couldn't really get it down and then he ghosted the band a couple days before the show. This happened just a few months ago.
So 90% of the Comments are about Witherfall. Why? Why do yall care soo much? Are yall Fans of Witherfall? Do yall pay Witherfall? Do yall own their rights?.. Why do yall really care soo much???
He's a very sought after jazz artist I don't know what you're on about. Besides, you think he'd be putting in all these hours if it wasn't at least musical to him?
Musical is a universally defined term. Musicality its is an apparent that we see things differently. For example, both Vinnie Colliuta and Dave Weckl are extremely talented, dynamic musicians who happen to be drummers. They’re both educated musicians. Vinnie went to Berklee college of music and Dave I forget where he went but it was a top-notch music program. Blaque Dynamite was discovered having backed up I believe it was Stanley Clarke and he was thrusted out into the music scene behind that. Talented yes knowledgeable about music as a whole not very. As I’ve heard the body of music he’s been involved with I’m not impressed. It for me is predictable. I can tell by listening to him what he’s going to do next. Sorry, maybe that speaks to my ability vs his but I am not trying to diss Blaque Dynamite it’s only a critique from my humble perspective. Moreover, you come off as a fanatic more so than a fan. You appear to be obsessed vs someone who appreciates the art. Maybe you should do some self reflection and possibly seek some professional help if your issues can’t be resolved.
@@Jazzyblackdrummer Nah you're not telling me what is and isn't musical, that's not how it works. I and many others find him musical. I'm pretty sure he did go to a college with many famous names within jazz behind it too, not that it matters. He's really one of the best, I'm not a "fanatical fan" or anything, I just respect the guys contributions, and I'd be delusional to act like his playing is beneath my ears like you are
honestly, I don't like being in bands with guys that always have to show off,. reminds me of high school marching band and all that. spastic. I'm too old to care what people think about my drumming. Fast, but does he have groove,
Yes. The idea if a drummer has crazy chops they don't have groove is stupid. When you play as much as this guy has its the whole package that comes with it. This is a drum performance, if you want something else check out his stuff with Stanley Clarke. Legendary bass player, so he wouldn't have that gig if it was just 'all over playing'.
man why did he've to do that... i respect this man so much but c'mon that was fowl. now all these metalhead's introductions to him is on a bad note.. :\ i mean fair but it's just ugly .
Awesome bass player, his feel and sticking to the song is mesmerising.
... dude.... CHRIS FISHMAN ON THE SYNTH!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO i love this guy's playing so much
Everytime I listen to Mike I wanna practice even more
Good luck😂
Every time I hear homie on a kit I’m just awe-struck! Lovely playing from everyone
Man shoutout to everyone down to the audio engineer because those toms are SINGING
He's from the "more is more" school.
I dig it
@@commonsense752 open your ears
@@commonsense752 that’s real
Flow, touch, chopz, omg patterns, speed, groove, sound layering, very characteristic own style. GOAT! This man got everything🔥🔥
Wow the drummer is on 🔥
How did the Witherfall gig go?
Just saw him live playing for Mononeon, He was so fucking good! Met the two after the show, very cool chill guys
Keys on fire.. my lord
On FIRE
This is like the Tony Williams
Lifetime of the 21st century

anyone else hearing Figaro by MF Doom!!
First track is "Figaro" by MF DOOM right? In the description it says "directions" why's that?
The second song is Directions by Miles Davis

WITHERFALL
If this boy and Matt Garstka had a baby...
He really snapped Joe's head @ 9:06
Song at the start is figaro by mad villain
How would it be this guy playing in a metal band?
He would show up unprepared after 2 months of lead time and then completely ghost the band a day before the show.
@@alexnasla dynamite!

Work
I could play like this with one hand
tied behind my back. I could !
...sulla falsa riga di Spectrm di Billy Cobhan ......interessante
Oh no he added the bongos to his setup, its over for everyone
I heard Witherfall loves bongos!

@@probusexcogitatoris736 Mike already told me his side of the story so I'm not tripping about anything you have to say

He plays well when he shows up
I think that he's fast which is plainly obvious and very technical but not very musical.

Bozo👎🏽
RASIST!
how
And classist
Prime example of a drummer whose only objective is to play as fast as he possibly can without any real form of feeling or groove.
Biggest ego.
Yeah take it from the random on RUclips what's musical and why the guy who played with Stanley Clarke and herbie Hancock before he was 20 isn't 😆
🤣😂🤣😂
CLOWN
Keys and bass were the only ones that did they homework.
It’s his own song.
This is hands-down some of the worst musicianship I have ever witnessed. So much ridiculous ego.

You realize this is… A DRUM channel performance, right? Stop pretending like you know anything about music, BUD.
way too busy,iam listening but can't remember a thing he did, most effective when he slows down and grooves
I always hear bad stuff about black dud ..guess he's fast through
Sorry, I don’t watch racist and classist drummers.
Watch Greyson Nekrutman on a simple 4 piece.
You don't know what you're talking about
Just sounds like trash
This man be trippin
You don‘t know where the one is?
Just log off bro. As a matter of fact, deactivate your account
You're just saying that because you dont like him and because he ditched the Witherfall gig...
