Also to answer a question you asked . This was 100% improved as the very first time I’d even played to this track that was sent to me hours before the session. I listened to the melody 4x and practiced the song in its entirety 3x for structure and just went for it in one take . The music leads you if you listen and follow. I never write a part for sections of a songs like this I just play what I feel at the moment and hope for the best ..lol
"...The music leads you if you listen and follow..." and as a low-skill-drummer:... it`s amazing, what you`re able to play, if you 100% in the flow of the music... mostly i grow beyond myself.. ps: Toto - 27.07. -Ger-... very happy to see you live... awesome :)
I only just saw you commented! I'm floored. We need to chat on my podcast Sput! I have had your band mate Steve Porcaro on previously :) Jeff is my all time #1. Toto #1 band
Sput is the original drummer and producer for snarky puppy before larnell and he and Nate (snarky puppy) started the group Ghost-Note which he write arrange and composed the music And he the band leader and the arranger composer of ALL the Zildjian live music. And now he the drummer for Toto and yes he one of the Top 5 musician in the music industry
Simply one of the best drummers in the world IMO. He had to learn himself the unorthodox left-hand lead after breaking his hand. Keeps demonstrating a perfect mix between talented drumming and unmatched musicality - wild!
Sput came into my university with mono neon a week ago doing a Q&A and a jam session. He gave great advise, he said “you don’t determine your future, your habits do. Make sure you cultivate good habits” couldn’t agree more. He was incredible, a real privilege to watch and chat with him. He’s so cool 😌

@Andrew Rooney Drums MATE! This was a masterpiece, from beginning to end...Sput just oozes passion and talent, Many thanks once again for being a top bloke and youtuber..Cheers Az
Yes! Found him just recently caus he plays with Toto (replacing amateurs like Simon Phillips) and immediately loved his playing. There es something special going on with him.
There is a Playlist on the official Toto-channel with a perfectly recorded studio concert called "With A Little Help From My Friends" Supertight band. On the song "White Sister" (which is stretched over more than 14 minutes) Searight plays a solo, a great one of course.
Love this video. Glad seeing new people discover Sput. I was shocked as you that I had never seen him until about 4 years ago. He is an absolute legend and I hope I get half the feel he has as I continue learning!
WOW ob Wow oh Wow/ The musicality is amazing but most of all the economy of movement is out of this world. No stick moves more than it has to and that makes you believe there is so much more in reserve. I am blown away. This is a drummer I would want to watch. Zero peacock behavior in this guy. Amazing
he plays with clear joy... there are tons of great players, but man I feel the same when watching Eric Johnson on guitar... there is just some sort of feel in there that is joyful
@@AndrewRooneyDrums :)...another suggestion: Tommy Igoe... Masterclass, simply a "must-see" for every drummer;) ruclips.net/video/pDE_rHzqDss/видео.html
My friend went to arts magnet schools here in DFW together WITH Sput and several of the other Snarky Pups. Like Sput, my friend is a drummer and producer….Sometimes he jokes that he’s a drummer that plays bass and others that he’s a bassist that also plays drums. My friend is ALSO the one who turned me on to both Snarky Puppy AND Dirty Loops. One of his other friends was playing with Prince leading up to his ‘death.’❤️
Crazy that you’ve missed Sput, he’s the drummer in Snarky Puppy (Larnell Lewis filled in for him on the “We Like it Here” album and did such a good job now they’re both in the band), you must have only seen the stuff from the post-Larnell years. Check out “Bent Nails” from Snarky Puppy, he’s playing drums and wrote that tune.
Saw Toto with Sput last fall, Stockholm. The highlight for me was his tribute to James Brown and Jeff Porcaro. Have seen Toto in most constellations, Porcaro, Philips, Bissonette and Forrest but missed Carlock and Coialuta. Lukather, Joe and Paich have an exquisite taste for drummers.
The Kaz Rodriguez tunes are so much fun to play over. The possibilities are endless for modulations and time signatures to weave around the theme. Warmly recommend them to anyone playing the drums whether you started playing last week or have been at it for decades.
Sput is a legend and beast both as a keybordist as a drummer ! Actually Sput is part of the new TOTO formation as a drummer with a keybordist from Ghost Notes too, here the link of one of their song ruclips.net/video/vB7qFkhwaY8/видео.html
@@AndrewRooneyDrums You know Andrew, I fell in love with Zildjian since a very early age, especially the old (really old, before they were even known as A series)) A series. Still love them today but I played some PA Meinl just three years after my beginnings and I liked every one of them. I don't have the money to switch now but PA makes some really good cymbals. What do you think? Thank you for replying.
m i the only one who is reminded of GERGO BORLAI when i hear this guy?. This dude is a GEAT drummer. Guess how i know that...By watching your videos Andrew. Thanks for giving me the gift of good taste.
I went down a RUclips rabbit hole and stumbled on Larnell Lewis, then kept going and saw people saying stuff like "Yeah when those guys first joined Snarky Puppy they didn't think they were good enough to play with Sput, who was the drummer at the time." I was like "They had another drummer??" And now I'm just reeling from discovering all these god-tier musicians. And so many people say music sucks now! I always say today's music doesn't suck, it's just that mainstream music is so homogenized. But you dig just a bit deeper and you'll find an absolute embarrassment of world class talent, and you could spend all your time exploring and finding more and more. It's insane how rich and vibrant music is today
Hats are extra drys. Sput is one of the absolute best in the game. Effortlessly brilliant. Also, please do a Chris Coleman reaction. Another one of the best in the game, and a LOVELY dude.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Borlai is clearly the technical king for sure, and some of those metal guys have insane speed (but, like you, I don't know enough about the scene!). However, Sput, combining his keyboardist musicality with his rhythmicality, is just stupidly insane.
Okay okay. I’m finally getting proper listening gear (Sony’s MDR-7506) from Sweetwater (via your link in the description). I can tell you’re hearing things that I’m not - and it’s just killing me (I hope my iPhone XSMax is a good-enough audio source 🤞).
I don't know if you've seen his performance of What about me?live with Snarky Puppy where his drums are isolated but it's great!By the way Excellent reaction videos.
Damn! This Spur plays so effortlessly. He plays while being in a state of total Zen. Another drummer that seem to play in that state of Zen is then-16-year-old Japanese female drummer phenomenon Kanade Sato playing Weckl’s Festival di Ritmo. ruclips.net/video/5jDVZPzfS1c/видео.html
I don't want to annoy you but I would like to remind you to react to Dominic Mcnabb he is a South African 14 year old drummer who is endorsed by Yamaha
@@AndrewRooneyDrums it's actually a really great sandbox platform game from around 8 years ago. The guy that produced the music for the game (Chris Christodoulou) did a fantastic job. I recommend searching Risk of Rain soundtracks on RUclips and enjoy! Edit: also, now that I hopefully have your attention and if I may....you should totally look up Dirk Verbeuren in his Soilwork days. Amazing drummer.
Bro. Sorry mate, this is a face palm on you. You HAVE watched Sput. Many times. He is the director of music for Ghost Note, the backing band for all of the Zildjian Live shows. It is he who created all of those awesome arrangements, which just shows you how talented he really is. Ghost Note arrangements is his side gig. Yes, he is the drummer for Snarky - just not for the "We Like It Here" Larnell Lewis sessions. Basically sitting up there in the modern day pantheon of stuff you like.
NO drummer has a cpu like Robert. There are faster, more technical etc. etc....but NONE as musical. Would rather listen to him all day than any other. Play percussion as a lead instrument. Love my fellow Texan.
You should do a reaction video to funk drummer Petar Janic from Cory Wong's band ruclips.net/video/695aMzfTL3E/видео.html&ab_channel=MEINLCymbals or ruclips.net/video/ZCapOpfbl2U/видео.html&ab_channel=MEINLCymbals. He's not going to blow your mind technically like lots of guys on your channel but he's super funky and incredibly passionate in his playing so you can't not love to watch him
