      I'm struggling to believe the bit... how did he not know this song?!? He absolutely NAILED the (I think) 3 breaks in the 2nd half of the song. I haven't been playing music as long as this fella (only 30 years on my end) but, straight up, if that was a legitimate first hear, then it was a ridiculously great performance.

    • @viktormuerte
      @viktormuerte 7 месяцев назад +15

      @timhoferer8822 Frank is obviously a professional with years of session work under his belt. Like, the first thing he did was create a lead sheet. The lead sheet isn't just a roadmap through the song; the act of writing it informs your muscle memory of things like song structure, breaks, accents, etc. This, plus his experience, helps make the performance extremely clean. Dirk Verbeuren's "hears the song for the first time" performance is kind of similar since, like Frank, Dirk is also a session drummer and he employed a similar technique when learning the song assigned to him (mr. Brightside.)

    This is a fucking masterpiece. His accents and change of moods fits this song so well. How he builds on the verses by later adding the tom hits, the chorus kick accents the vocal runs perfectly. He actually adds the break on the last verse to add more effect than constantly doing it. The toms on DOITBABY make it feel like a dance hit, which makes that vocal line so much more fun.

    As a professional drummer I can say that this is as good as it gets. This is what you get for laying down the hours and practising hard, devoting yourself to the craft and the business. Not only does he perform with attitude, confidence and presence, but he's also able to write perfectly understandable notes with efficiency, so that he can focus entirely on the painting of the canvas and orchestrating the coordination. This is a hard working musician. Technical? Indeed, those preparations were needed for this, but the energy and presence comes through experience of working in the field and playing all sort of contexts, developing listening skills. He's not playing for the cameras, he is focused on the task and locking in with the music. It's evident that he has played a large variety of styles, as he is also perfectly adaptable and can make several musical variations in such narrow turns. This was a perfectly executed first take and could have been the actual take in the studio session for the track, well done Sir! Now, I got to hear your ballads.

I honestly don't know what the heck is going on with Rob Zombie drums but they sound like something that a 5 year old comes up with, the OG is all click clock click clack nonsense there is no groove or structure at all ... come to think of it this is why I rather enjoy the RZ tracks as remixes only since they offer more and even if it's "electronic music" remix I don't ask too much from the drums anyway, when they are live drums and a heavy track then every instrument needs to be heavy but the OG drums are meh ...

Did you ever see him play with traditional grip? Sorry for the odd question, but I come mostly from a marching percussion background, and since I was 14 or so, traditional grip was the only way I could play properly... so seeing him seemingly grip the sticks backwards really stuck out. EDIT: Just noticed that he was doing it on the thumbnail image. His left hand grip (actually done in his right hand... I can now see, based on his shirt, that the negative wasn't flipped) wasn't a technically good grip... it was like the funky way you see some jazz drummers do it. Neither here nor there, but... just wondering. They guy's obviously a great player, with matched grip.

This dates back to military use of the snare drum, while marching; because everything in the military is (ideally) standardized, the drums were always slung to the left, necessitating a different grip for the left hand.

You don't HAVE to have been on a strict drum line to learn traditional grip the 'correct' way.... Maybe he just chose to learn it backwards because he wanted to angle his snare that way on his lefty set.

      ​@@christianhackl474For sure, the OG is a classic. Frank's rendition here is just super hot fire. There's much more variety here overall, but that's to be expected from such a seasoned drum veteran.

    I've seen about a dozen of these, IMHO, he nailed it. Liked for the studio guys to have agreed more.

    Frank seems like a really humble dude. He actually found a few patterns etc that I preferred to the original. He honestly killed it.
