If I were Greyson I'd sneak into a local jazz club and act like a naive kid who just wants to try the drums out for one song and then leave all their jaws on the floor.
Nah man they use it in labs as a scientific metric for the (only theoritically for mere mortals) complete and full lack of anything at all besides the drumming itself
I'm not a fan of jazz at all. But a good jazz drummer is probably one of the most entertaining things you could ever watch & this kid is absolutely phenomenal.
Craziest part is that he's only 18. You'd expect to see something like this from someone older with more experience but I can only assume he was in jazz since middle school. Absolute legend in the making.
Best drumming I've seen in a long time... hard-pressed to find anything better from a technical standpoint. Really cool that metal drummer is watching jazz. Music is music, no need to gatekeep.
I’m a metal drummer, I’ve been playing since the mid 90s. I feel like a would have to start completely over with learning in order to have technique to play like this guy. This kid is F🤬ing awesome 👏🙌
@@Adrian-wd4rn Pull your head outta yer ass. Greyson couldn't play something like this if he devoted 3 full years to it. ruclips.net/video/i5Wku8b4LVo/видео.html&ab_channel=AlexTerrible
My Dad grew up in the 40s, started playing Trombone as a kid in the late 1930s played all through high school got in to the Naval Academy Band, ended up playing with some hellacious studio musicians through the 40s and 50s. He told me about some amazing drummers he played Jazz and Big band with. Several years outside of the navy after the Korean war he stopped for law school. However he did continue arranging music on the side as a hobby and he did play Trombone from time to time to keep his chops up. He passed away in 2013, but I still have his Trombone that at one point belonged to Tommy Dorsey. ( I know this story does not deal with drums much but just wanted to tell it since Listening to this kind of music always reminds me of him)
People say drums are only good for rhythm, adding punchyness to a song, etc, etc. Because it's not a tonal instrument like a piano or guitar, it can't evoke the same emotions. Well, I'mma have to call bullshit on that. This was beautiful. So much heart and soul went into this, and you could see and hear it. Bravo. Simply wonderful.
@@morbidmanmusic first, learn how to spell. Second, if you cannot respect another musician, specially a legend such as Stewart, your place is not here.
@@magrildz you were cool until you brought up subs and content lmao. You act like everyone has to have their own channel and accolades to have an opinion. I do agree though, Stewart is great
I am a metal drummer through and through, but I will never deny the talent and skill it takes to play Jazz/Big Band music!! That was inspiring and humbling!!
Greyson and El Estepario Siberiano are the two drummers that just worked their asses off perfecting their craft and they exploded into the drumming scene and for good reason. Like these guys are just unmatched. Like we dont get to see the hours of practice they put in and their progress to get here.
So many great comments from other drummers on here. For me, I was expecting greatness and wasn't disappointed but from a drumming perspective one of his many outstanding skills was his transitions between hard and soft, fast and slow. Remarkable!
He does a lot of wrist turning to roll across the set. The drum angle helps carry him to the next drum I would guess. His traditional grip techniques are crazy.
I'm pretty sure he's miles teller drum body double.....I know that's not miles playing all that stuff.....his motions kinda look similar to the over head drum shots at the end with him playing caravan just to piss Simmons character off
I'm neither a drummer, nor a Jazz aficionado but even I can tell this kid is already a master. I can only I aging where he could be in a decade! Thanks for bringing this to us.
Different styles require different skills. I played in many punk bands and occasional metal bands but I studied jazz for 4 years with a teacher just for fun and it really opens up your playing. He introduced me to drummers like Elvin Jones, John Coltrane, Steve Smith, Steps Ahead, Phil Collins, Brand X, Tony Williams, Miles Davis etc It was an education. I learned crossovers from Bonham who got them from the jazz greats like Papa Jo etc.
Okay I’m a metal drummer to my core but now I wanna learn Jazz. That was unbelievably sick! Thanks for the variety Samus. The playing is incredible Grayson.
Doesn't matter what genre of music you like, when you see something like this you just gotta respect the shit out of that quality of playing. That was some next level talent. Massive respect. Also. SEX....
I just love the emotion he plays with, and how you can see how he is feeling each hit, and he has full awareness of everything going on with his set. Absolutely stunning stuff!
Remember everyone going this far…consider the source- it’s only a bass players critique and opinion. But he did score an extra 5 points for informing us where that foul smell just came from.
You're such a nice guy, actually sweet in your admiration for Greyson's chops, while I saw that Zeppelin Cover (incl. audio clues) you did at Drumeo just recently and just thought what a great calm, easy-going professional drummer you are, thx a bunch for that reaction. Was as good as the performance you watched ;)
I’m speechless..just incredible dude my mind is blown how in tf a being can possibly do this. So many highlights of the video and that freestyle was absolutely NUTTY!
The dude is a prodigy, it looks like the souls of Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, Max Roach and a bunch of other great jazz drummers all just decided to reincarnate in one person.
I met Bellson on accident in high school. He used to have a practice studio in the back of my local music shop in San Jose. Old man came out while I was doing whatever and he just came up and introduced himself. Told me to just keep practicing. Signed an old tom head for me. Zero clue I’d just met a legend lol 😂
Neil used to say how dismayed he was at these types of ideas. Seeing someone great should never discourage. It should encourage to practice and work and get better, which he did until the end.
what I've noticed about the virtuosoes who have come one the scene in the five-ish years on any instrument is their articulation is impeccable. it really is remarkable to watch as someone who's played music since I was 13 and played professionally for years.
I always enjoy your videos. While not a metal drummer, I do appreciate the time and dedication you have shown time and time again through your playing. I also find your sense of humor to be first-rate. You are funny as hell but not demeaning. What a rare talent/skill. Please continue what you do better than 99% of all the other drum commentators - providing a brilliant comments and humor. I fart in your general direction. ;-)
Man I just have to say I love you and your channel! You are just so positive happy and its so uplifting to watch your reactions of other skilled drummers. Cheers from Sweden and God bless you... You are awesome man! ❤
What I love about those videos where you react to other drummers is that even a really good drummer like you, can be absolutely flashed by someone playing the drums. Yep and I really get heavy Buddy Rich vibes too
Thank you so much 66Samus for sharing and reacting to a magnificent drummer. I laughed out loud at your reactions because you are one funny dude and got choked up at how great Greyson is. Good job to both of you.
Two things come to mind here.... 1 is, it's great to see a young drummer respecting the old jazz standards and killing the F&(%))(*&*^ out of it. And second, it's great to see you, 66Samus, reviewing a different genre of music as I know you are a very capable drummer with the skills to kill the F&(%)*__^^$$ out of any genre of music as well! Keep building the content bud! Your humour knows no bounds............................ Jeff in Ottawa
Good ChrXst it's a good thing Greyson had the "band" as a prerecorded track. I think live musicians would have simply forgotten to come in even if given a cue. This was awesome to behold, and I really appreciate your bringing it to your channel even though it's not your primary genre.
Greyson. Incredible job there! I really enjoy watching you play. For those players that were not introduced to the 3 R's or any other classical training, This man has it all. I am in envy of your single stroke roll speed and accuracy, moving seamlessly around your kit. I remember when learning, that holding those sticks tightly is your enemy. Holding them too loosely is the enemy of everyone around you! Thanks for the vid 66Samus.
JESUS F*** I can't decide if he makes me want to get back into full-time drumming or just switch instruments? Brilliant stuff. He actually pulls off a few things I tried to do in my more active jazz drumming days but wasn't consistent enough (ie I f'd up a lot). Thanks for sharing.
@66Samus - I just have to thank you for opening my eyes to metal drumming. I used to brush it off, but after watching your videos I have gained a real appreciation for it... THANKS!!!
As someone who loves the guitar, I react to this the way I react to Shawn Lane videos. My sons a drummer and we watched this on drumeo so many times. On the drumeo vid, they said that he improvised this because the recorded track stopped working so he played until it came back in.
Dude it took me a while to realize how you are. Never looked at your face before and only knew you from your old old old drum videos. Glad to see you're still playing and doing RUclips.
Greyson is quickly becoming one of my favorite drummers. The intensity of this blows my mind! Thanks 66Samus for your reaction, I couldnt have said it better... "holy fucking shiii...." "Oh yeeeaaahhhh"
I started playing music (piano) at 6 yo. By 9 I'd branched out to Sax and My all time favorite drums. My first 5 or so years were all Jazz/Swing rudiments and stick control. I am always amazed on how such a young artist has gained decades of technique and skill. As for how do you remember the songs, it's like any other. You don't think, you allow it to come out of you. Just get out of your own damn way. That's a quality not many are lucky enough to acquire. For years I had my old Slingerland Jazz set set up with the drums angled, tuned and layed out for when I'd play that style and my other set was Armed and set for the metal that was more common to get other people to come jam to. Great to see someone like Greyson bring this out to a whole new generation, that unlike you and I, never got to watch the greats like Buddy Rich play a chair on the tonight show and wonder how he got so many sounds out of the thing. Thanks to both Greyson and you for sharing this and all your content.
Yo Samus my guy! Speaking about Greyson playing blasts… I haven’t seen that, but not long ago I saw a video of him playing Bleed by Meshuggah with double bass and all… and he fucking KILLED it too 😂
holy shit i've never been so early for a samus video. oohhhh yuurrrrrr!! edit: greyson is a fucking superstar in the making. his enthusiasm and passion during that solo...holy shit. let us all bow to our new lord and savior. 🙏
Out of this world expressive and artistically shining. Of all the drummers I've played with, Jazz drummers have been the best. The most in the pocket, complimentary and part of the ensemble as a equal. They actually know, accentuate, and listen to the phrasing and breaths of what's being played. Less is sometimes so much more. Playing fast or active without having to be louder. They are looking at the same music/chord changes and melody that the rest of the players are. The American Art form shines so brightly on the rhythm section. Jazz drummer is so failing as a name or reference to what so many of them do and are capable of contributing. They are equals as musicians when compared to anyone else in the ensemble. This young man's playing is so on point. He's LISTENING for how and what to add that best suits the direction of the composition. Well done. Thankyou for sharing his playing and thankyou for this content.
Watch him play Bleed, he nails it in a full suit. Not sure if its on the tube, may have to scroll down on his Instagram to find it. So jealous of this 19 year old.
Pros reacting to pros are the only reaction videos that work for me. I learn so much from this just on a musical theory level. I am not a drummer but I am starting on bass and this type of content is really nice to put things into context from a technical perspective and a feel perspective to understand the nuance of their groove and their timing and improvisation. Thanks Samus!
This kid plays like someone who was never told "no, that's not possible" when it comes to the drums. And if he was told that, he answered "challenge accepted"
Thank you 66Samus for showing what can only be described as one of the most epic displays of drumming I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Greyson is on another level, actually another fucking planet!! Those hand skills, the speed....you know, you saw. Pure genius.
The really cool thing about that upside-down ride ping is that he’s not just doing it for flair - he’s getting different tones from the underside. Nothing’s just to look cool, everything’s there for a musical reason. I daren’t imagine how many hours of rudiments he puts in. As for how he memorises it… are we sure he does?
I'm 90% sure most of it's improvised, he might have memorized the stabs with the horns or something like that but beyond that I think it's all improvised :)
Has no one noticed that he turned his stick around in his left hand? He's playing with a huge meaty club! Around 9 mins in you can see that he turned his stick around and then at 9:47 he turns it back around the correct way. Absolutely amazing!
If I were Greyson I'd sneak into a local jazz club and act like a naive kid who just wants to try the drums out for one song and then leave all their jaws on the floor.
Just walking in all casual, looking like a normal kid... and then just going for "Moment's Notice".
He does that here on RUclips and he doesn't even have to leave the house....
@@Rynos9Lives but sometimes leaving the house is ok…
That's cruel!
It’s normal skill for a modern jazz drummer.
His drumming is so clean, to the point that doctors use it to sterilize wounds.
Nah man they use it in labs as a scientific metric for the (only theoritically for mere mortals) complete and full lack of anything at all besides the drumming itself
@@Yoyo_boi202 and the sweat can be boiled off for pure 100% Greyson concentrate

Greyson is one of the best out there. He can play all types of music and do it flawlessly
Jazz drummers are amazing.
Wow, the guy has everything - style, feeling, and technique. Thanks for introducing him and sharing this masterpiece!
holy shit i've never been so early for a samus video. oohhhh yuurrrrrr!!
edit: greyson is a fucking superstar in the making. his enthusiasm and passion during that solo...holy shit. let us all bow to our new lord and savior. 🙏
Out of this world expressive and artistically shining. Of all the drummers I've played with, Jazz drummers have been the best. The most in the pocket, complimentary and part of the ensemble as a equal. They actually know, accentuate, and listen to the phrasing and breaths of what's being played. Less is sometimes so much more. Playing fast or active without having to be louder. They are looking at the same music/chord changes and melody that the rest of the players are. The American Art form shines so brightly on the rhythm section. Jazz drummer is so failing as a name or reference to what so many of them do and are capable of contributing. They are equals as musicians when compared to anyone else in the ensemble. This young man's playing is so on point. He's LISTENING for how and what to add that best suits the direction of the composition. Well done. Thankyou for sharing his playing and thankyou for this content.
Watch him play Bleed, he nails it in a full suit. Not sure if its on the tube, may have to scroll down on his Instagram to find it. So jealous of this 19 year old.
Been following this kid since right before covid. Hes phenomenal. He plays and practices constantly.one hard worker.
Greyson Nekrutman, between the top 10 drummers on earth!! 😎🥁
Pros reacting to pros are the only reaction videos that work for me. I learn so much from this just on a musical theory level. I am not a drummer but I am starting on bass and this type of content is really nice to put things into context from a technical perspective and a feel perspective to understand the nuance of their groove and their timing and improvisation. Thanks Samus!
Normally I don't like reaction vids but the sheer enjoyment from Samus as a pro is just wholesome. And the drumming I'm not worthy to comment about.
No doubt about it, Greyson is a fuckin mad man on the drums .... Love your reaction and commentary, top tier RUclips entertainment man !!
This kid plays like someone who was never told "no, that's not possible" when it comes to the drums. And if he was told that, he answered "challenge accepted"
Thank you 66Samus for showing what can only be described as one of the most epic displays of drumming I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Greyson is on another level, actually another fucking planet!! Those hand skills, the speed....you know, you saw. Pure genius.
The really cool thing about that upside-down ride ping is that he’s not just doing it for flair - he’s getting different tones from the underside. Nothing’s just to look cool, everything’s there for a musical reason. I daren’t imagine how many hours of rudiments he puts in.
As for how he memorises it… are we sure he does?
I'm 90% sure most of it's improvised, he might have memorized the stabs with the horns or something like that but beyond that I think it's all improvised :)
My thoughts exactly. For me as an old jazz drummer it feels like a really good drummer improvising really well to a tune he knows inside and out.
I LOVE his drummer faces, not gonna lie. Shows how much he is invested, he even plays with his face. 10/10 performance.
Greyson is an absolute monster. 🤘🏻🤘🏻love his videos.
That dude is a Effing beast. Now I have to check more of his videos. Thanks Brotha...
Never heard of this guy. Thank you for bringing him into my life!
A lot of it is improvised. Basic chord changes.. certain notes the band hits u boost the band set em up.
This guy is another level
This is totally not my style of music but HOLY SHIT this guy is absolutely KILLING it!!!
Has no one noticed that he turned his stick around in his left hand? He's playing with a huge meaty club! Around 9 mins in you can see that he turned his stick around and then at 9:47 he turns it back around the correct way. Absolutely amazing!
