Glad Greyson is getting recognition, this young man is incredible.
Greyson Nekrutman gives me hope for the future of music within popular culture. I guarantee he inspires a legion of kids.
This kid is well on his way to being one of the greatest drummers of all time. Buddy would be proud.

Buddy would have probably hated him. 😅 Because Greyson is already far better than him.

Nick D'Virgilio has become a drumming legend after decades of making amazing music and in later years also has made so many contributions to the drumming community 🥇🥁🎶 great drummer, composer, multi instrumentalist, singer, lyricist, clinician, interviewer....

I had the honor, nay, the privilege of meeting Mr. D’Virgilio at Sweetwater last year.
Greyson is a different breed of drummer. The kits a total extension of his creativity. Its beautiful

Greyson is astonishing to watch. Such a showman and very innovative. Love watching this style of drumming!
Great shot of his left hand in action. Amazing how relaxed and free he maintains it, control without tension.
I have that very set, (Greysons) there I'm afraid the comparison ends. Brilliant!
Nick, you're truly a jack of all trades. But this kid is the absolute master of this sadly very niche style. A great video. You're both super fun to watch and there is so much to learn.
Probably the most exciting new drummer, since Buddy Rich…and that says a lot, considering how many good drummers there are.. There’s just something special about his style… No gimmicks of big kits, big funny hair, just bashing as hard and fast as they can, or going crazy with double bass drums kicks.
It's like I came across videos of Greyson only a few weeks to months ago and now there's so coming up on my feed. This was so enjoyable to watch and obviously Nick is having a blast too
That's it I'm taking up the Harmonica !!!!!
I quite literally built my traditional grip over the course of 3 months watching this guy, Todd Sucherman and Rodney Holmes, day in, day out and I am so grateful. his instagram page is so full of content, it's mindboggling.

So is their anything in traditional that you cant do matched? I always wonder if theirs a reason for it other than being traditional and or looking cool😂

@@dylanbaldwin7934 It's much easier to play jazz style music with traditional. It's easier to hit softer ghost notes with traditional because you are not using your whole forearm to swing the drum stick, just the fingers.
the way you ask the right questions and he gives that personal info back is really refreshing this video shows me again that there is no right way to do anything, it just has to work for you
Krupa, Bellson & Rich have passed away but new young high talented drummers take over.
Grayson you are amazing, like Nick the only thing we had was record player and drum teacher to try to help with jazz fills! Since KZread it has been easier to see what the great were doing.
Greyson is absolutely on fire!! 💥🔥🔥🔥
Look, Nick is one of the best players on the planet, and even he is impressed by Greyson
Yep, this’ll be a good one to sit back to! “This is fun!” Nick D
I'm 57, and i have a tremendous amount of respect for this young man. He is destined for great things. 🥁🥁🥁 Just fantastic!
Thank you both for sharing your talents with me! You both are amazing! Greyson you inspire me to look into big band music and really look into the great drummers of that era!
This dude has drum riffs, so much nuance.
making music not just counting time........love it. thanks. great playing.
Wow!!!! Loved it!!! Thanks so much for having Greyson on. Such an incredible young man! Great drummer!

This is the Top Drum Video of 2021....... and it can't be beat! WoW!
Hey Nick..... BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! One of, if not your best presentations! The zen master with a future legend.
Great insights on technique and honoring the roots of drumming from this young man. Thanks to Sweetwater and Nick for this entertaining and inspiring video!
A legend and a soon-to-be legend. Great stuff.
That jam towards the end!!🔥⚡️🥁
Whoa the Orange drum looks amazing
The Great thing about Greyson is his appreciation of past masters & his balance of confidence but respect eg whe cites Tommy Igoe.
YYEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!! This was ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING! First things first: Nick & Greyson...... 🤯 So cool! Second: Grayson teaching Nick & the rest of the world...... 🤯🤯 Third: Sweetwater put this on! Thank you again so much for this. I got to witness a small piece of drumming history. I too am a huge fan of Carter Beauford! He will be number 1 in my book until the end 👍 Sweetwater please get Carter on here. PLEASE!!!!!! Thanks!!!
it was nice to see 2 awesome drummers, 1 younger 1 older , sorry Nick lol. both of these guys are very good and nice people too
I love Sweetwater man, awesome video Nick and Greyson are awesome
Watching Jon Lovitz battling Greyson makes for an entertaining morning cup of coffee!!
First off, incredible drumming by Greyson. What an inspiration on the kit. One thing I've noticed in the Sweetwater videos is how much he's pushing the hi-hat stand with his foot to the point that it creeps away, where he has to move it back to playing position. If I was to recommend anything, definitely the Kick Block for hi-hat stands. Best product bar none to stop bass drum as well as hi-hat and BD slave pedal from creeping away during play.
Loved every second of it!!

Nick, Great interview All the right questions Nice to see a professional like you as a child of wonder
D'Virgilio is so classy and smooth! Dang!
Fantastic gentlemen!!
Love it! Thanks for doing this
I like how at the beginning they were contesting each other for the final hit of the back and forth and then at the end they both finish on the same note. Friendship established
A young drummer, respecting the big band greats and not just the modern rock drummers. He’s a freakish drummer.. Anyone who can match it with, or even beat Nick, is a genius.
Absolutely enriching experience! I am not a big band fan, but this show of skillset was truly refreshing! Thank you,oh so very much.
For me it’s not just the musical and rudimental playing, but it’s also the way I like drums tuned. Let the drums ring a little bit and let the Toms sound like Tom Tom’s. The natural sound of a well tuned instrument as in this video is so much more enjoyable to me. Yes I like the sound of muted and controlled single headed concert Toms, But as in this video. Let the Toms sound like the double headed tom-toms they are. Thank you sweet water for this video
This video was a genuine treat to watch. Fun, personable and insightful. Thanks for sharing !
Nick AND Greyson on the skins at the same time??? Jes*s.......MUSIC / DRUM OVERLOAD!!! 🤘🏻❤️❤️🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁❤️❤️🤘🏻
INCREDIBLE 🤟🏴
He is so incredible !
Any drummer no matter what you play Rock, Latin, Heavy Metal, country, whatever . . . deep down we ALL must look at big band drumming as the ultimate! So much expression and musicality! If you like this episode . . . go watch Tommy Igoe on Drumeo :)
Wow! Awesome video ,I love watching drums being played.
Awesome, two masters at the drums at work and learning together!
Who else besides me wants to get on your drumset and just have some fun. Not matters if u can do the impossible like these guys. It’s surely not about that. Go enjoy your drums. NOW.
Happy Drumming!!!
Nekrutman is absolutely crazy
Hey guys. This is pure fun for me ! Go ahead.
This video made my evening. Thank you gentlemen!
Yeah. He's born to this. Young and ready.
These dudes are bad ass.
WAIT!! When did debate or discussion got so good in general
Great time guys, thanks !
I remember wanting to slow down Nick´s playing fifteen twenty years ago. XD
They inspired me to take up tambourine..
If there was no other instrument in jazz, I'd love the genre.
Greyson and Jeff Hamilton. Holy shit. That would be EPIC!!!
So fluid.
Iv always like jazz drumming and I like it a-lot more now
I imagine these two in one of their garages doing this over a few beers. And I want to be there.
Greyson.... One of the best in the world already....
Amazing!
The DREAM TEAM.....BRAVO!
WOW!
This is good.
To nick...thanknuou so much for this episode.. I have been teyong to.learn Buddy rich lick and this is very usefull
This is what it is about. TY for mentioning Frank.
Ayo, even the way Greyson talks brings me to the Krupa days haha :):)

Very cool style he has lives it breathes it
Love these guys who only need a small kit to make big sound. Not a big fan of huge kits . I just like the simplicity.

Great content!
So the takeaway here is basically what the younger guys would say old school versus New School. I tried tactfully to share with my students go back and learn what you call old school because it had to come from somewhere!! And then I hit them with this.... Old school never and I mean never goes away!! And of course it's all meant in good fun!! Keep your chops up my brother's!! 🙃
The way he plays traditional is almost like the Scottish pipe band wY
Sonny Payne!!! 🎶🥁🔥
This was so cool. I feel like it needed scotch and cigars.
Nick doin his best Gene Krupa impression...
Hes unreal
