I suppose it is subjective but for me but for a lot of players drums don't sound good when players really wack them. They sound better with control, it can be loud but must be controlled.. The player makes a big difference, often the groove breaks up and sounds bad when really hit hard. A great player can make a drums sound fantastic from quiet to loud but not go outside their ability to keep it sounding good.

@BLeeFAFO

​@@micb3rd I agree, It's all in context. Sometimes it propels the song by beating the piss outta everything for a bit, But dynamics and note placement IMO are what really makes a drummer a fellow "songwriter" (Whether they get credited is a different story) and an essential element of the whole.

@@ElasticTurtleIt's true. As someone who's drummed basically all genres for the better part of 8 years now, I can confidently say that most songs are actually more interesting than difficult. Of course there are difficult songs in every main genre. However, there are also some subtly difficult parts to songs that are not tough drumming songs but it's those little parts that make you go "Oh that was interesting" or "huh that's kinda tough actually." And more often than not that's in the metal genres that I've had to stop and do those parts my own way.

I don't know this tune at all, but I think making Greyson angry and off-balance really helped how he interpreted the drum part. The music calls for undisciplined edginess, which Greyson delivered in spades, although in the practice room I bet he's the most disciplined player alive. I love an emotional performance, and I certainly got one here!

I'd never heard of Greyson before, but im a huge fan now! Great attitude, super talented and handled the challenge like a pro! So badass :)

Make sure you listen to all 3 albums and really pay attention. You’ll be blown away but how it all plays together

This is incredible. That sped up tempo gave the song a completely different vibe.

I love these blind sessions. You hear new beats to your favourite songs and you totally love it in a new light!

Anyone who knows Greyson, knows it won't suck. Top 5 drummer alive.

Please… please… please… more Greyson Nekrutman on these. I honestly loved his take of that sleep token song. That was so bad ass, kid is so crisp he’s like fresh fucking laundry out of the dryer

This is my 4th time back listening to this. Each time I’m hearing more I love about his version. Hell yeah Grayson

HE KILLED THISS!! 💛😧 love love love his interpretation .. absolutely incredible

As musicians, everyone hits a wall or a learning curve that feels impossible in the moment. It's inspiring to see how Greyson handled the uncomfortable experience.

Jazz isn't "light" music. It's just not the same as metal.

I loved watching him realize that he did great when he heard the full song.

The drums are black and blue after that brutal beating. Great job.

I absolutely LOVE these drummers "ruining" the songs. Whoever came up with this segment needs a raise. And a new car paid by the company.

Holy crap. His range of motion is insane, and soooo creative. I didn't even know he played non-jazz stuff. Absolute legend and still just a baby.

Being proficient at jazz kinda lends itself to being able to play a plethora of modern music, considering so much of modern music evolved out of jazz. Yeah techniques have changed a lot but not as much as some may think.

Greyson is such a good actor. He is Two from Sleep Token and just pretends not to know :)

This is amazing holy shit. I dont know the first thing about drumming but im just blown away this dude is so talented and passionate!!!

There is something really cool about seeing somebody who’s immensely talented/skilled still being both nervous and proud when they get taken out of their comfort zone and absolutely crushing it.

You killed it Greyson. You embraced the stress and pushed yourself farther than you thought you could. It was really cool watching you grow in this

Lone Survivor??

The bridge and the breakdown were SO good! Like, I love the heaviness and momentary confusion from the original, but that was a brilliant interpretation! Greyson’s kinda adorable 😁

Damn this kid is a phenom! I can relate to his perfectionism & the frustration in trying the impossible in playing a song he's never heard as written. I love these videos as you learn so much about the process & personality of the drummers when put under this type of fun pressure.

Its so crazy how the drums give the song a completly different vibe

Watch him play jazz. It’s insane.

I really enjoyed that. I love that Greyson cares so much, that's the secret sauce for me here. Yes his playing is amazing and the setup and sound is great, but the thing that will bring me back again is seeing someone try as hard as they can at something they care about. Awesome. He doesn't need to try that hard, he's a famous drummer in his own right in another field. But give him a challenge and he can't help himself!

This one is in the rotation of the episodes that i rewatch. It's this one, The Kill, We're not gonna take it, and i think the new Pneuma one will be in that rotation too. It just amazes me at how similar, but unique each drummer plays their own versions of the song. The new takes on the songs could be just as awesome as the original, and just a little different and still sound like that is the way it could be from the original writting of the song. These people are amazingly gifted, and you can see how that translates into the hard work that they put into their craft. It absolutely blows my mind at how talented these people are. I love this series. Thank's!!

His groove during the verses is so good. SO GOOD. It’s groovy af. You can really hear and see the Jazz shine.
