The editing is really top-notch. Truly adds to the comedic, educational, and just fun content that awaits. Glad to see you coming back with more and more!
Y'all: I met Zack at the Meinl Festival and I need to say, he is as amazing of a person and as amazing of a drummer in person like he is in all of his videos. Zack you are the best, homie!!🙏🏻
Real Talk though, Home Boy Zack is crushing it. And it's very cool to see this perspective of what it's like to go through festival prep like this! I definitely can relate on the vibes of working hard and feeling that sense of guilt too, it's tough at times, but we gotta remember why we do what we do!
5:08 - You mention feeling guilt when not uploading for a while and finding "balance"... My coping mechanism is.... Not uploading, and not caring. lol. Luckily for you, RUclips is not the ONLY thing you have going on. Your life is still progressing behind the scenes, and it almost feels like if you don't share that progress w/ everyone then no progress is being made... But trust me... Your biceps have definitely gotten bigger since the last upload. Upload when u can. Your fans are loyal. Love u!!!
Seeing you ride with Mike J is awesome. He was the first person on RUclips that I started watching to learn drum stuff many many years ago. Always seems like such a nice and humble person. Would love to meet him one day.
Hey Zack, Great to meet you in person at the Meinl drum Festival… you seemed nervous before going out there but you slayed it. Great performance and I got your sticks, really digging them. All the best and greets from Germany 😊
Yay ! We made the Video!! 😂 at 6:51 My Son Archie and I and Theo 😊 Was Great to meet you Zack at the Hotel and the Show. Thanks for signing the sticks and Archie’s Meinl Cup 👍 Great show regardless of the hardware fail, you styled it out well 😎 See you at the UK Drum Show and will Grab a 🍺! Love the pro video too man 🎥🎬🎥
about bass drum sliding, I used to carry the K-Brakes on Europe tours for just that reason. They slip on to the end of the bass drum spurs and they stop it from creeping away from you. The only problem was that I would sometimes forget to grab them after the hit.
I understand that feeling of guilt. Not from a content creator perspective, but more from the general sense of obligation and not wanting to let others down as a result of that. I struggle with that, in my own perspective of life as well. I'm sure it's magnified immensely given your situation. The only thing I could think of is turning it into a blog of some sorts if you feel compelled to try and do both at the same time, or a second channel that is more geared towards that specific endeavor. That, or just lock yourself into a room and make no apologies for following your internal drive to create. Either way, we all have a limited amount of moments here, make no apologies for following your intuition and self.
Oh man, I had a ticket and living just a hour away from the Meinl festival and was so hyped to see you in person. And the I got sick...... man hate my life when I see the footage 🥴🥴🥴
I just discovered Anatole Muster’s “Layers” literally the other day and was just practicing to it today so to hear you rip over that track literally ascended me to the heavens. Thank you for being such a huge inspiration! ❤
hey man I was the annoying kid that talked to you when you came in (Emilian) but I just wanted to let you know that you are actually amazing (as your dad). Great performence too man. keep it going
Stay true to what you like to do bro. We've seen too many content creator experiencing burn out or excessive pressure, that's not good. You should not feel bad for taking time to do some artistic and/or musical shit. We love you with this energy
Man, what a great great and funny video! Thank you for 12 minutes of giggles! 🤣And the quality and editing is top notch. Congratz! "Full Show out NOW" - i'm googelingeling my arse(nal) off but can't find any album or live concert to purchase. Is it hidden for a purpose or can YOU MY MASTER ...or somebody else... please enlighten me, where to grab it Thanks in advance!
Flew to Germany just for the festival it was beautiful being around hella musicians especially drummers. Met zack and got motivated to play on that stage one day
You were amazing! We are waiting for you to come back to Europe! :) I'm really hope I will have got a chance again to listen to you in live. You're already a legend and your personality is shining like a dimamond. Thank you for being a drummer!😉
Hey man, your balance between being a musician vs. being a content creator is simply a time management issue! So a few things that I do which have helped me tremendously are: 1) Just force yourself to start the task when you have decided that it is the thing you need to do now. 2) If you have to commute, or even walking around in your own space, plan your walking path in order to accomplish the most tasks/get the most necessary items in the shortest, most efficient trip. Same goes for how to carry the most things, of course. 3) Mentally mark anything accidental or otherwise that made your workflow 0.01% more efficient (no small is too small), and mentally commit to using that mechanic or technique forever. 4) Take breaks every 1-3 hours and go outside for 10 minute-15 minute sessions in mostly direct sunlight. Use that time to reflect on the work you just did, or planning the work you are about to do. At the end of the day, the best way to manage your time, is by reducing the amount of time a task will take. I hope some of this sounds fresh to your ears, bro. I'm trying to shred like you one day!
Gj mr editor! As an editor and a drummer you do a perfect job! You never over edit and you still keep the video entertaining and I didn't get bored for a second good job
Every once in awhile youtube recommends this channel to me,.... the videos and creator are not really my cup of tea personally, kind of goofy, but this dude definitely has some great chops, smooth and quick.. and that meme haircut is Hilarious 😂😂😂
Brooooo solid video you props to your editor looking forward to greater things for you but so would you mind if you let me mix one drum track that you might do in a future video
Funny story - my bsnd had our label sshowcase years ago and my bandmates locked the keys in the car. I had everything I need except my in ears in my backpack. Had to play it iPhone ear buds and it was a rough gig. Still got signed. Idk why.
Met him at the festival and had a really nice conversation with him. He actually wanted to steal me from my wife, but he didnt know we are polyamorous so, jokes on you :D
you can see the professionalism with Kevin editing, hyped for the channel to keep getting better and better!!
Especially with the fire dog Edit at the beginning
🤷♀

hi kevin. welcome to the family

I'm from Liverpool I'm so exited 😆

I understand how much editing takes up your time, but I feel like the editing really showed more of your personality. Kevin did amazing though!

Met him at the festival and had a really nice conversation with him. He actually wanted to steal me from my wife, but he didnt know we are polyamorous so, jokes on you :D
Excellent editing! Another very entertaining and informative video. Yay!!
AWESOME JOB KEVIN!
One thing I might critique is to savour the intensely goofy part so they catch you off guard more. Good stuff otherwise!!! missed you Zack AHHHHHH
Trying to find your signature drumsticks online was like walking through a cornfield maze I'm still lost
This guy is living the dream...
Bro Zack don’t forget that you’re the professional now. You drummers wanna sound like YOU. Don’t diminish your hard work and skill! Stay up bro
3:08 that transition was hilarious 😂
nice editing also imeatatly bought some sticks!!
Love this
Is nobody gonna talk about the dog pic…
So freaking sick getting to play with since actual legends.
Hope to catch you at a show in Hamburg some day
This dude is insane,
Congratulaciones man
Love the new editing style, keep it up man!
Are you going to get a professionally shot video released of your performance by meinl?
Oo, and you got to meet benny!?!?
I missed your chops but your back!
Congrats on your own custom/signature sticks achievement. I would definitely buy and try a pair if they see release to public
