Absolute best thing he says is … throw out the names and just play the drums.

It is proof, in my experience. Every show I've played and put over-thinking to the side, was always a fluid set. Have fun and explore when you have some free time alone.

"...but I just play the drums, that's it, I just hit this, I play musical, I play drums"..... So great, so humble, what Greyson says makes a lot of sense.... This guy is so good!

Don’t over think. 👍🏻

Having seen Buddy Rich in person, I think i can safely say that you are an incredible talent and the closest drummer to Buddy I have ever seen. Keep up the great work!

He’s a Nekrutmancer, a magician that brings the great drumming of the past back to life again.

Yeah, this guy gets it. Clean. Pure. Talented. Humble. Chops. Percussionist. Musician. Musicianship. Artist. The “artistry” is gonna be off the charts in the years to come. Drums can be mesmerizing, & it’s fun & cool to watch the guys who can shred. Cheers!, & .... ‘git some!

"I just play the drums." Greyson Nekrutman

Brilliant...grounded and real ....and to think just 18 years old...amazing! What a great role model for young musicians everywhere!

So young, with limitless potential. We are witnessing the next great one.

Humble. Well spoken. Down to earth. Absurdly talented. Remember this kids name. He's just getting started.

As a matched grip player, this blows my mind and inspires me to explore more open-handed/traditional techniques

Best advice ever, "Just play the Drums and have fun"!

Traditional left-hand grip has always fascinated me, and so few drummers use it anymore. Thanks for keeping it alive and explaining it so well. You are a prodigious musician and you are going places. I look forward to following your career.

I how how you're not a teacher but still putting spirit to teach your style 💙 Keep it up love your playing.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 What a real humble guy. 🙂

I am 14 drums grade 7. You are insanely amazing, hope to be like you one day 👍

Everyone who plays traditional grip has issues they have to manage. It's almost a full time job! Bravo to you for keeping the faith. I gave been playing for 50 years and am tweeking my left hand from time to time. Joe Morello would say, move to release the tension.

Dude! I don’t even play an instrument and I watch your channel just to enjoy the beats and the education. Well done and thank you !

So insightful for any musician let alone (especially) drummers, feeling out what feels right > prescribed fundaments or forms. I can see immediately the relaxation/overall distribution of tension in the hand/wrist in your technique Vs. “wristing” it, and you can see the benefits of this. In singing, I can get caught up on placement and form which distracts from what feels right also, so it’s a great reminder to strike the right balance and not close off possibilities that feel good for your person/instrument in the song/performance. Very inspiring, thanks for the wisdom!

Learned a lot from this kid's insight. What genius this guy is!

Thanks for being humble and honest with your presentation. Good luck to you in the future.

Been waiting on a video like this from you for a long ass time now, my man lol. You killed it here, and I am looking forward to hopefully more vids like these from you! Just hearing you describe your own thoughts that pop into your head as you're playing is so valuable to all musicians on instruments. I'm mainly a lead guitarist, but I started out on drums (which I can still do a decent job of playing them now), and your playing and techniques absolutely blew me away just as soon as _I_ first discovered you on IG when your posts kept popping up in my ecplore page. You're by far my favorite drummer on IG right now, and it really feels like there is no parallel competitor in your age and stature right now. Seriously, you have the makings of becoming one of the greatest drummers ever out there, and you're definitely on the right track to getting to that level. Your verbal techniques can also be applied to other instruments very successfully; i.e. "don't overthink it," etc. Man, you got _IT_ . Glad to see you pursuing and living out your dreams and doing what you love to do. Keep up the great work, man!!

His left hand at 6:00 is just outrageous

Been waiting for this for over six months! Thanks, Greyson you are one of my greatest influencers of all time!

WOW!! That's Great my alter ego would agree completely. Can't think about how it's performed; just go w/ the flow. INCREDIBLE!!

This man is going to go as one of the best… take notes… we’re lucky

Amazing control and technique. Closest thing to Buddy I've ever seen. And so young. I need a lie down!

Down to earth, great technician that is also a great teacher.

What a fantastic teacher and player 🙏🙏🙏

"The biggest thing to learn from this - don't overthink it. I've never been the person who's like 'oh I'm using Moeller, oh I'm using fingers, oh I'm using French', I threw out the names many years ago, they're amazing but - I just play the drums. That's it. I just hit this, I have fun, I play musical, I play drums."

Thanks for sharing your technique. You're an inspiration to keep practicing.

Brazil congratulações

The opening statements are so true…..keep workin’, playin’, experimentin’ and select what works for you….

Nothing short of a beast

I love this young man and he is now one of favorites right up there with Buddy Rich in my eyes!!

Reuben Spyker and you are keeping the tradition and legacy of the traditional grip for the new generation. Thank you for that. Many say it is a matter of the past and its use makes no sense, but I think more and more will choose it because of you.

Mr greyson... Your the new king of the 3piece kit. Just saw caravan. God damn what a ride that was.

Awesome ! Thank you for sharing this !

Thanks for the trad grip descriptions and demonstrations. This kind of content is hard to find, and it is like gold for other trad grips practitioners (like me). Like you describe, I often resort to just experimenting with what is possible, inventing exercises to develop the technique, and then seeing if I can make it work in a musical way. Thanks again!

Dear Greyson, you're making history 🪄 Thank you!

Love watching this guy play drums.

Amazing Greyson!

Thank you for the beautiful drum video "❤". God bless you and all your family. Have a nice day. thank you.... 🙏 💕

Great technique! You are really something special, very talented and gifted. Please keep up the videos.

I've been drumming/touring for years and ive never seen that before. That was fucking cool!

Big talent!

Amazing 🙌 thank you for the lesson sir

This is AMAZING! RESPECT MAN!

Brilliant & great advice.... thank you!!

Good work on ya new gig. Expanding horizons

Amazing 🔥

thank you for this. you got talent

I never knew what my style of drumming was, which made it so hard to find any reference to the sound I aspired to create but finally after 20+ years of searching I finally found the exact energy I had been looking for, thank you man, every time you post a video on here it’s like pouring gas on the fire in my soul, my hand start to copy your snare rolls and I have to focus and hold my phone still and then my right foot starts to copy your bass drumming followed by the left trying to copy the hi hat, I have never wanted to run to my kit and jam out so bad in my life, and that is exactly what I want to make other people feel, thank you, again, you truly are a fucking inspiration! Rock on brother

Man, you pretty damn good. You've clearly put in a lot of time in on those drums. Bravo sir, bravo.

Great technique, great advice

Wow! Thank you for the such a great information!!

man those are some gorgeous cymbals

Great lesson. I'm a guitar player but I'm always fascinated with great left hand technique with drummers like Billy Kreutzman, Joe Morello and others. Great job.

Amazing energy dude 👏 🤘

Great video.. thanks for explaining your technique!

Beautiful. Tnx so much for this. More tutorials please!

Great lesson!

This snare sound 🔥

love you many and crazy things you doing on drums! :D

You’re my inspiration in life.

Great advice and great drumming, keep swinging man

amazing, bro!

Wow! I also liked the way you explained it. Your talk is engaging.

Way to go!

duuuude you are insane!

amazing !

Youre awesome dude

Hi Grayson. I've commented on some of your videos before. Just keep doing what you do best. That is playing drums playing music and having fun!! Keep your core skills together at all times if you can. One of my teachers, the great Gary Chester, said to me what is true to your heart will always stay true to your heart. He also said be a human being first and a musician / drummer second!! Enjoy the ride my brother!! No pun intended. Haha ❤️🙃

you seem super humble man. Really really dig it and youre fucking amazing as a drummer

Great explanation! You are a very talented drummer!!!!

Brilliant.

I have been watching your videos on Instagram and just found you on KZread. Your way of thinking is the biggest lesson of this video. Stay out of your own way and do what works without hurting yourself. You play amazing as well. I play everything matched grip and never questioned using traditional grip. Not that i think one is better than the other but thats the way i started playing. Great video and concept. I wish you continued success!

I wonder if he can do all of what he just did matched? Is it easier for jazz. I'm in my school jazz band I love it but I play matches I'm not sure of the benefits of traditional. My band director says the reason it's still used today is just because it looks cool. My soul is mainly in rock though I'd like to have the capability of playing low volume and having g the control to play jazz because i also really love that style and i think it will better me as a musician and will help in my normal playing which is usually classic rock single bass drumming.

so informative, thank you!

Great video! Excellent job of explaining the details of what you do, and even what you omit. I got locked into a very rigid traditional grip when I first started playing at 16 many years ago, and my left hand never developed into what it needed to be, so I gave up in frustration thinking that was the only ‘correct’ way to do it, and I must just be lousy at it. Have just played match grip all these years, but because of KZread, I’m finally at point my life where I can circle back and figure out how to make this mine and go forward. I’ve already picked up some great tips from you and others, all of which was never addressed when I was 16.

Great explanation!

Great information from a phenomenal Drummer! (IE) to any Drummer find your own style that feels right for you and give it your best.🙂

thats a fine snare sound sir

Underrated channel

Cool lesson it is very liberating in the sense that not all drummers are the same. What works for one guy doesn't necessarily have to work for me

Awesome stuff man, subscribed! Would love to see a more detailed breakdown of “gears 3 and 4”

breaking the concept of speed down to the idea of a gear change really helped me conceptualize the mechanical changes needed as you speed up. I guess I thought of speed before as more of a CV style transmission instead of just shifting gears

Joy stick! (Head slap). That's my problem - never been a gamer. 😊. Seriously, gonna try this stuff. Love watching. And getting props from SCopeland had to be sweet. Much deserved.

Wow!

Brilliant

Genius

Loved hearing your creativity solo just on snare. then on the set! Appreciate your generosity in sharing your special skills-may I add Yoni Madar, Reuben Spryker to the discussion -thanks for the video-shows so much..

Nice demo, drums sound good and l like what you said that you don't use any particular technique just dont get injured etc

Thanks!

Badass! 👏😎😎👍

Great video Greyson , everyone's hands are dufferent , it's a matter of finding out what works for you. All techniques require time put into them . After 50 yrs Im still wroking on mine !!

Grayson no clue if youll see this but man you are really an insparation to me and you have inspired me to improve so thank you man

es una BESTIA

Ave Maria mano, vc toca pra caralho! Eu vivia me questionando se minha técnica de mão estava certa pq eu percebia que misturava e trocava de técnica em cada mão de acordo com o momento, sempre foi de maneira natural, agora eu sei que eu só estava sendo eu na bateria. Abraços 👊🥁🇧🇷

I think I remember the video you speak about (about Louis Hayes), it's from drum solo he did the period of time he played with Cannonball Adderley... right? ;)

Thanks for making this. I started playing on a cheap electric set and quickly found my left hand couldn't keep up with my right. I'll start experimenting with different grips and techniques.

Hot stuff!

I'm going to learn metal stuff and blast beat stuff and double bass stuff. And I'm going to do it all in traditional grip cuz I've never seen a metal drummer use trad grip. I'm also gonna do jazz stuff too
