Ah... dat sick 6/8 groove at 2:45... been waiting for this track to come out since I first heard a sample of it in a Mapex Saturn IV promo video... keep up the awesome work bro
The ride part just blows me away. Music speaks, and even if you aren't aware of the technical difficulty of what he is doing, this is art :) subtle details that gives me shivers!
When this vid came out I couldn’t decode everything he was playing. Today I can decide is clearly. Signs of progression! Bro is an inspiration!
That is a hell of a snare sound! Love it.

A Zildjian Sweet Ride, the 21". Pretty great cymbal, crashes fantastically, great bell, but can still get a nice amount of stick definition.
Anyone know the specs on the ride?

+Godessence as far as I know, it's a Zildjian Sweet Ride, 21"
I love crispy, clean ass playin.
The Drumeo studio version of this is much better. A more gritty and raw, but fuller set of cymbals were used
Anyone know the sticking to the crazy ostinato he plays from 2:45 onwards?

Seems like a single stroke roll in his core.. You'll have to learn the Right hand pattern and then fill the the space with some left handed ghost notes. 🤔

In another video he talks about his stack being a 14" EFX custom on bottom, 14" oriental china in the middle, and a trashformer on top. Hope this helps!

It's tuned very tight and dampened. That's the effect: almost clap-like
Какая-то скучная и занудная музыка.
