I admire that you put a lot of effort into trying to play jazz, and you did not fail. However, this is a good example of how difficult it is for even a talented musician to move from one genre to another on any instrument. Given enough time and study, I don't doubt that you could do very well in any genre of music. You seem to have a nice personality and are funny as well. Very enjoyable. Best regards.

Totally agree generally ‘metal’ drummers have solid enough chops to physically play in the jazz idiom particularly anything with a straight 16th feel. Sometimes it’d be better for such a musician to forget the ‘jazz’ pedagogy or the more academic authentic style thing if they’re wanting to check out what jazz is all about. Technically, the link between all jazz music is simply the improvisation thing. So even a heavy metal feel can absolutely be played as jazz. It’s often about being in the moment and intermingling with the band in real time. ‘Letting go or playing how one feels its often said. If a drummer does happen to really want to get more into jazz and play with others who happen to be more into the straight ahead jazz realm, then of course breaking down the language deeper is going to naturally a thing one wants to do. A legit swing feel is something that can be more tricky to just jump into though, depending on what one has listened to exclusively. Its been my experience, often drummers with roots in metal can be a lot of fun to ‘jam’ with and explore their voices navigating the kit with their current chops as is. Which we certainly heard happen in this video. It’d have been cool if he had the opportunity to play with some tight fusion players or Afro-Cuban players and get the full ‘in the moment’ experience. Because that interaction is almost exclusively the ‘why’ of Jazz. Fun stuff

The drummer in my highschool band received years of instruction on jazz and even as a teen the guy was amazing. The fact you can play like you did with only a few minutes of practice is crazy!

Thank you for going outside your comfort zone to try something different and show us how you were able to tackle these challenges.

Anytime we step out of our comfort zone and commit to learning something new we are enhancing ourselves, we don’t always have to be great at what we try, it’s enough that we’ve been willing or brave enough to stretch ourselves. If we add something to our repertoire along the way then that’s a bonus. Thanks for heading out into uncharted waters and giving jazz a go, love you too!

Well done. I think as others have said you’re obviously a good musician and a good listener so you’ve picked up the style as best you can and have made it your own. Two things that stood out to me, 1. the snare fulfills a different role in Jazz, its used to embellish and decorate the ride pattern, you’re used to the snare part needing to be played clearly and powerfully to fulfill a time keeping role which means your touch is far too heavy and lacking in any dynamics. 2. The ride/hi hat is where the ‘groove’ is. The way a rock drummer is focused on playing the kick and snare very accurately and evenly is the same way a jazz drummer is focused on making the ride and hi hat sit nicely together dynamically and as you referred to in your vid how heavy the swing is I.e. A jazz drummer attempting to play metal would struggle to lose the varied dynamics in their kick and snare parts, would struggle to make the ride/hi hat sit back in the mix and make the kick and snare focal point, would likely struggle to play metronome straight 16ths.

@e4e5e2e7

Жыл бұрын

What do you think of hanging back slightly on snare, just behind the beat, even without adding dynamics?

The difference between triplet and 16th swing is actually super key, the placement of the offbeat anywhere from straight 8ths to 16ths is absolutely critical to the groove you're setting and is one of your main concerns as a jazz drummer

This was so cool! The triggers sounded awesome over the jazz tracks!

5:30 is an amazing breakdown between triplets and 16th notes. That’s amazing man… I never caught that in all my times playing those jazz standards back in high school

My highschool band teacher taught us jazz in Art Blakey's style, and the two things that he really emphasized were a strong 2+4 on the hat and a "tight" swing, essentially that subdivided 16th's that you explained it as. So, I learned to swing less by thinking about how it sub divides and more by how much you can 'push' the swung 8th without it sounding bad.

I think you did a nice job. It's clear that there is a really deep level of swing and feel in jazz that isn't emphasized as much in metal playing. HOWEVER... your count, speed, and precision are absolutely ROCK SOLID. It's really interesting to hear someone at such a high level switch genres like this, and it shows how skill with an instrument is actually not a slider from beginner to expert, but more like a big field with beginner at the center and all different kinds of expertise extending in all different directions. I would love to see more videos where you attempt other kinds of genres. Taiko perhaps?

I love watching these types of videos bc you can really see a style that is almost polar opposite fit right in. And I say down with the purists on both sides! I could see Caravan as an actual metal song, just with jazz drumming! Good on you for going there and having fun too. May you progress and avoid stagnancy.

Ditto on metal Caravan. Come to think of it, there may be hundreds of jazz tunes that might sound amazing as metal or metal hybrid. I imagine metal (ish) versions of Night In Tunisia, Giant Steps, Spain…

When you broaden your horizons you open a new world

Awww man, music's music, and you're as musical as they come. Loved hearing the metal approach to jazz, very very cool sounding. (Mostly a jazz-head myself, so this was super refreshing).

Nice. It's all in the feel - pushing and pulling the beats off the grid to get that swing feel which is the antithesis of your usual style of playing, so good effort. Have you tried brushes? That's a whole new challenge!

Not particularly fan of metal drumming. But you definitely got a new fan with this one! Awesome channel dude. Glad for youtube finally getting its algorithm right. Keep on going. You’re great! Cheers

This should become a series “66Samus plays jazz” 🤘🏻

I remember switching between playing rock at the Starwood, Rainbow or Roxy and then the next day at a club like the Baked Potato playing jazz. (I’m in my mid 60s). We had these jazz cheat-sheets that made it simpler if you basically knew the tune. In Jazz, there is a bit more nuance depending on the size of the venue, and the musicians you are playing with. You find yourself using brushes, batter and usually lighter sticks. Enjoyed both. Led to bigger and better things. Enjoyed this vid 🤘

Kit sounds great! Very impressive performance- especially Caravan (personalized with those 32nd notes on the double kick). It is not hard to see why your channel has become so successful. 🤘 🥁🥁🤘

You are not joking, the Rosanna shuffle still eats my lunch. Hate playing that one in front of anyone because it trips me up a lot. R.I.P. Jeff Porcaro your talent is still unrivaled.

A variation on the Purdie Shuffle, right? Similar to what Bonham did in Fool in the Rain.

It's three things Jeff actually emulated on the Rosanna drum beat: the Purdie shuffle, Bonzo's "Fool In the Rain" shuffle, and a Bo Diddley rhythm on the kick; take those three together, et vóila!

Im a drummer, a metal fan, and a jazz fan. Great video. The speed drumming and machine-like time keeping transfer over great to jazz...that beat to Caravan was sick. Rayford Griffin is a jazz drummer who uses a double bass pedal from time to time. He plays a lot of fusion with Jean-Luc Ponty. Good vid, youve gained a subscriber 🙇.

@66samus Awesome stuff!! I love to see skilled artists reach outside their strongest niche, as there can be really excellent unique hybrid moments like you demonstrate throughout here! The only note I can think of is to just barely delay your left hand and you'll keep a little bit more of that groove feel at fast tempos in Cherokee and Caravan, and keep that strong connection you developed between the two paradigms. imho 😅

I just found this. Awesomeness, dude. I'm glad I got to see this. Thank you, sir.

People think of me a classical musician, as I normally play symphonic music in large groups. I'll surprise people when I say "lets go to this metal show" - and I'll get right in on the mosh pit. I feel like this video is the inverse of that. That makes me happy.

I feel you! I mostly play rock and Christian contemporary but I also joined jazz band my senior year of high school

am i the only one who was laughing so hard i was crying when the double kick fill in caravan happened?!

Loved it! Great work!!

My grandfather used to be well known for playing Caravan as a drummer and that style was his groove on a Gretsch Slingerland kit. I still have that kit and learned a lot from him and I'm also learning from you. Here's to growth to making art.

didn't have the light touch that a jazzer has, but i was expecting this since he's a metal adept. metalheads don't play coffeeshops and small jazz stages, that's for sure lol. still hella talented, can tell that he just loves drumming.

At least I like the more chill vibe coming out of your chops though.

Dude you did fantastic! Before I started playing metal I was there with you in Jazz band and its something that has stuck with me to this day. Duke Ellington, Buddy Rich, Glenn Miller are all on a playlist on spotify that I use to this day (just used it on Christmas in fact) for relaxtion or when I have company over. Caravan is hard af to play even if you aren't primarily a Jazz Drummer, you did the song justice, and all of this songs. Sure we can tell you're not playing them comfortably a few fills look and sound a bit stiff, but overall this was really awesome and entertaining.

Just seeing some of your videos. These are so great man! I feel like I’m watch Brian head welch play jazz drumz. Lol also, I think further seems forever’s drummer is really into jazz. You can see it in the way he plays. That’s a nice example of bridging the gap between jazz and metal.

Bro you did pretty damn well for being outside of your comfort zone. Well played for a wee jazz bahee.

9:38 double bass in jazz? That's blasphemy!!!

There is nothing from rock that some jazz drummer hasn't appropriated. Jazz is a genre of thievery.
