I have never, EVER heard a drummer do so much with a snare, high-hat and bass drum. Kaspar Rast is incredible! Great mix on his drum set, too. Bass drum is tight yet deep. And, in the middle of the last song, when he loosens his snare and plays it with a stick and brush ... such syncopated, sophisticated, sexy, sizzling genius!
loved Nik's stuff for about 8-9 years now.....love it........never have had a chance to see them but then again i live in the countryside of oxfordshire, UK......so no one plays near me....never mind.
I thought I'd seen all the cool in-concert videos of Bartsch's RONIN ... until I happened upon this last night (and the 2nd set) OMG! So incredible! ... There's only one band on the entire planet this tight ... And it's RONIN! Multiple viewings highly recommended. This is absolutely STUNNING! So is Part 2. A little FYI: Nik's playing a synth, not a Fender Rhodes (as he normally does). Kaspar Rast's drum mix is wonderfully salient and his performance here is over the top -- full of verve, bravado and polyrhythmic pulse. IMHO, the band/ECM should release this as another live CD. It captures the new quartet in concert with aplomb.

Love Nik Bärtsch… I close my eyes and imagine a giant “dr snaggles” machine that is spinning around and making music! The best music I ever heard!
Zawinul would approve . Beautiful .
Very Thanks ⬆️👍
Got to hear Ronin live. The best experience! I've seen them 5 times and would definitely go again.
I agree. I want to go to EXIL in Zurich when corona permits!
I feel hypnotised.

Robert Kaye, Thomy is mentioned in the credits, there's no way we could leave out any of these incredible musicians :)
Невероятно!!!!
Amazing
Incredible. I gotta catch him some Monday in Switzerland...
why monday?
cos he plays every monday in the club
what is he doing in weekends? :D
Friggin' genius!
man i have no idea how they're able to know where they are in the song
The leader has to actually yell once in a while so everyone knows where they are in the song
great set list, makes ya wanna play the f0ck out of a jazz bass
Utterly delicious.
Why did you just delete Set 2??
It has just been blocked by a copyright claim :(

Thanks for the reply.
Bummer. Hope it gets resolved. I usually play along with the cajon. Definitely that modul 22 version!
@@wipje41 Found a solution, but we lost 1 and a half minutes of Modul 45, should be back online soon
@@ThePianoManJazzClub Good to hear!
snare drum is 4db too loud! - great music though :)
7 years…. Ouch, the time is nothing
