One of the drummers in my school's jazz band acts EXACTLY like the last one behind or away from the kit. He's the best I've ever played with in my life and holy hell is it hilarious to watch him play.
"Don't make everything a Dilla beat." Dude, as a bass player, I howled through the whole thing. This film was easily as funny as Fred Armisen's drum-oriented comedy special. I've played with most of those guys, but never one as funny.
Thin rides are the way to go for me, ive got a 20 at 2025g, and an unlathed 22 at 2503g, theyre much more dynamic and do a better job that sound in comparison to the thick cymbals my friend has which are quite pingy to my ears.
Also the lack of lathing really helps control the wash, the 20 is lathed but has patina from the factory, more wash but still very dark with plenty of stick definition
Omg the 'Highly interactive' one gave me so many memories it's just an amazing feeling when it happens naturally there is nothing than can describe how cool it feels when it happens
Honestly this is amazing, I can think of times where I've seen drummers act like a combination of some of these. But who am I to talk, I was totally the "rock drummer playing jazz" for a very long time until I really started taking jazz playing more seriously.
zackgrooves i’ve only seen 2 of your videos but you’re already one of my favorite drum content creators. you gave me back my otherwise inexistent passion for the drums and inspired me to grind again after a long time. I hope that even if you make it big you always have time to make content like this for your subscribers. peace! 🥁
I genuinely get excited when Zack uploads, I feel like we're old pals. What's up on a Purdie Shuffle breakdown/How To? My ghost notes are a joke and could use some guidance. Keep up the great content bro (I'm a metal drummer for the record and love your vids)
Bro, you seriously need to record some of those beats and just put them out there. I’d pay for an album of nothing but some of your beats to use as samples and stuff.....please sir
iReal pro is a great band. Sincerly though, the name of the song is There will never be Another you, It is a top 10 most famous jazz standards if you ask me. There are loads of versions, but the one by Arturo Sandoval is always a good one.
What I´ve just witnessed is a rendition of 98% of jazz concerts I have ever attended,- and I´m a metal guitarist who happens to love jazz,- go figure:),- even my jazz musician friends, regardless of instrument, cringed when they watched this. Spot on. :)
Didn't see the "completely smashed on Heroin but still a god damn legend" Jazz drummer.

@@matthewmartin9120 A good example is Gar Samuelson recording early Megadeth records my dude.

That’s more of a rock thing
As a drummer who primarily does rock, but has been trying to expand into jazz/break, I can tell you that that entry was entirely accurate.
Is that not just fusion drumming?
Same with me, I love jazz and rock
I am also 100% the rock guy all the time lmfao
That was me back when a friend of mine convinced me to join the Jazz band class at community college with precisely NO Jazz experience lol
same here, im very into funk and jazz and come from a grunge drumming background, unga bunga is my style
I love how the intro jingles get more and more dissonant as the video progresses
Someone finally noticed lol
I noticed that as well.
lol
yeah I noticed that too lmao, such a nice Easter egg
it gets really hilarious with the rock drummer intro
I like how he is being satirical but his chops are also crazy good.
That's so true
I agree
musical sense of humour is on point
CHOOOOOPS
I am "Being Highly Interactive with the Soloist" for 100%.
same lol
I’m no soloist but I appreciate your kind. Anyone who listens to their fellow musicians AND appears to be having a good time while doing it is alright in my book.
I like you
same, it is so satisfying
I am too
As a sax player who has done plenty of solos, having the drummer interact with you during your solo is actually kinda fun.
that's the point, right? 'listening'
Yeah give me that drummer every time.
as a drummer i always try to keep my soloist in mind and not just keeping the beat. it's not to make myself look better, it's to enhance the solo.
I think it elevates solos to a whole nother level
Comping :)
Holy shit, you nailed the interactive with soloist part. When you guess that shit it feels amazing and you can't stop lmao
so true lol
I smell you nephew
It’s something every jazz drummer will experience
pop pop
As not a jazz drummer, the interactive with the soloist drummers are definitely my favorite to play with 😂
I was dying at the "Diarrhea of the Hands" one cause I actually love drummers that play like that
Me too 😂 🤫
It was actually pretty sick.
Actually picked up some licks from that part... So i'm a fan as well 🤔
As a bass player, I have very mixed feelings about it lol
@@damienm.9677 can definitely understand your feelings bro ...) Somehow they made it work altogether in Coltrane's quartet though, considering Elvin Jones' vicious playing
The strongly relate with the rock drummer at the jazz gig. “Let’s get jazzy” lmfao
Then proceeds to smash the ride like a meathead. Pure gold.

hahaha underrated comment!
Legendary comment haha
cool
0.75 speed is laps 1 and 2
Pls add the "add tons of toys over the drums"
True story, the drummer shows up late for practice with a bloody rag tied around his arm. "Sorry I'm late. I got in a knife fight at the 7-11."
Did he win?
@@tsian7328 - I think so. I like to think of his 7-11 opponent as a drummer who didn't make it to rehearsal that day.
@@tsian7328 Well he made it didn't he?
@@maxalaintwo3578 that's the joke.
Plot twist: It’s an alternate script to a car crash in the Whiplash movie.

Me: *Immediately leaves*
Thats what he did in the video haha
I got a brush from when my brother did jazz band in high school
Big facts!
That's me arriving at the rehearsal after a whole week of hard practicing the songs using sticks on my e-kit.
I love how the title card jingle gets more and more manic each time.
I caught that too! Hilarious 😆
It subtly gets worse until the last 2. A fantastic detail

Rock drummer playing jazz is dead on. I would know. I'm that guy.
he can play in every single style and it amazes me
Not much point only mastering one style, why only play one style of music when you can be a more versatile musician by playing more genres!
He says he sucks at metal drums but he’s actually not bad
Honestly, I haven't watched a video of his where he is play ska yet, otherwise he is brilliant, especially with his CHOPS!!!
@@brett-1261 He has to say that for the absolute metal purists..
Why you gotta call me out with the “being highly interactive with soloists”? XD I get way to happy when I interact with them.😂 funny stuff.
Interact w me drum daddy
same tho
The whole video I was thinking - I'm glad I'm not any of these guys. Then I get to number 10 and well... roasted.
Definitely the last one, it always cracks me up when I see musicians interacting in a funny way in a gig.
Idk the transition to that double time swing was butter
*CLACK CLACK CLACK*
His rides sound so clean, my large ass one sounds so ringy and when I hit it the top to make a ting, it makes a Rusty ringy bullet sound

bruh interacting with a drummer during a solo is one of the greatest joys in a jazz band

THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR A COWBELL
🤣 But for real though get a block too
He's a hero
I will never get over how good this guy's chops are
His dynamics are literally honey to my ears
This inspires me to keep practicing so much
Honestly love the highly interactive with the soloist guy. Seems like he's having fun.

literally the drummer in my combo
Number 8, Nate. So many number 8s
You are officially a gem to the drum world
Drummers we must protect this man at all costs
As a metal drummer the rock drummer part was super accurate😂
Self-deprecating humor is the highest quality. I love how you and your brother highlight how ridiculous musicians can be.
"Not quite my tempo" - nice reference.
He mentions whiplash in the very next line
Omg the 'Highly interactive' one gave me so many memories it's just an amazing feeling when it happens naturally there is nothing than can describe how cool it feels when it happens
The key consists of playing like the vibin' with the happiness of the interactive soloist one.
I feel like zack actually did drumline at one point, those chops are meaty. Or well maybe he just got the Rudy's down
To answer my own comment: yeah he did, but only for HS I think.
ur vids are the most likable and genuine show offs.
too sick, love it
"Sorry I was late my house was set on fire"

Cracks me up how you capture all the nuances and quirks that tend to spring up between musicians playing together.
First of all: Great playing!!
And I totally know the "Back beat" drummer. He doesn't even have to be a drummer to be that kind of person🤣
