Yes! Fellow drummer’s, if you haven’t already, join Drumeo for a year (at least)! I’ve been playing since 1978 (yes, I’m old at 56), I’ve had 5 different one on one teachers during all that time, I attended the Arts Magnet in Dallas for high school, but with that being said , joining Drumeo is by far the best teaching method I’ve ever seen. You WILL become a better drummer period. The Drumeo Method is simply a genius approach to teaching you how to play whatever your weaknesses are, get past that wall of playing the same old beats you’ve been playing for years. From beginner’s to advanced drummers the Drumeo Method again will make you a better drummer. Simply the best choice I’ve ever made.

I was the big fish in my pond. I won all the drumming awards, made the Monterey Jazz All Star band, and was accepted into North Texas School of Music. When I got there, every other drummer at the school was better than me. Nothing grounds you like a big slice of Humble Pie. This is when I got to work and improved my drumming by a lot. I know what you are talking about, Greyson, and good job taking that rejection and turning it around!

We all have something to offer. No One can do what you do naturally better than what you do!! The point there is the only one you need to keep up with is yourself. As you develop and grow 30 minute practice turns into 60 and from there 60 minutes to 90 minutes and so on. Otherwise we just get into what we know as maintenance practice which there is nothing wrong with that either. Some guys have 90 minutes to work out. Some guys only have 30 minutes to work out. I always say making comparisons can sometimes be unfair. I say always share what you have learned, do what you can when you can and when it comes time to do a gig.... Play like there's no tomorrow!! God bless my brothers!! Always keep your chops up!!

Absolutely incredible playing young man.

Very talented player. I remember seeing a clinic with Billy Cobham back in the 70's. One of the first questions was, "Billy do you think you are the next Buddy Rich?" (At this stage, Billy was the hottest drummer in the scene). He replied, "I am not here to be the next Buddy Rich. I am here to be the best Billy Cobham I can be." There will never be another Buddy Rich. And there shouldn't be. And there isn't a "Best". I am much more interested in watching Greyson continue to mature and watch him augment his advanced technique with more and more musical choices that focus solely on what best suits what he is asked to play and who he plays with. Sometimes that might mean putting the chops in reserve and letting the bigger musical expression come out. Right now, he is an unbridled stallion. Unlimited power and facility. And that alone deserves massive respect as the amount of work that takes is beyond impressive. To that I say, very well done!!! He will develop more clarity and focus as he gets older, and he will only get better as a musician. Speed and the need to use it will slowly become secondary to the bigger overall delivery. It is the natural course of evolution and growth. That is what excites me the most! Continued success Greyson.

"I think it's a fallacy that the harder you practice the better you get. You only get better by playing. You can sit around in the basement with a set of drums all day long and practice rudiments and try to develop speed, but until you start playing with a band, you can't learn technique, you can't learn taste, and you can't learn how to play with a band and FOR a band" - Buddy Rich

Buddy had extremely fast hands as does Greyson but Buddy had much more power. When Buddy hit rimshots, you heard them over everything, loud and clear. You felt them. Greyson has a lighter sound.

Incredible, Greyson is a young master! Thank you for the inspiration !

Totally with him on the whole "overplaying" thing. Sure, some people really do overplay to a ridiculous degree where it's totally inappropriate, like putting tons of ghostnotes and fills in a AC/DC song. But, on the other hand, if the situation allows for it, you can often play a lot of stuff and still be very musical, and some other musicians can't seem to understand that because they look at drummers mostly as a glorified metronome. I mean, imagine if people like Neil Peart, Danny Carey, Brann Dailor or any of the drummers Greyson mentioned had listened to this generic advice of "don't overplay!", would we know any of their names? Would their bands have gotten the recognition they have today? There will always be people who try to put limits on you, put you in a tiny box because "that's the way to do XYZ", and also because that's the way they live their own lives, but if you want to be truly creative and leave your own footsteps instead of merely walking in somebody else's, you have to quote "Killing in the Name of" to them lol.

What great musicians, though? Beyonce and Jay-Z? Real musicians have largely left this Earth long ago.

There's no such thing as "the greatest ever" artist. It's not a competition. Buddy was certainly one of the most influential drummers (not so much anymore, but to his contemporaries and the generation after his - definitely). Personally, I prefer Joe Morello or Tony Williams over Buddy, when it comes to musicality. From technical perspective - yeah, Buddy was a beast and probably a top dog *in his time* . There are many modern drummers, playing various genres other than big band jazz, who surpassed Buddy in that department (Dave Weckl, Marco Minnemann, Virgil Donati, Matt Garstka, just to name a few). Buddy is a legend, but music and drumming didn't stop evolving with him and his generation. :)

@robertbruner7429

Жыл бұрын

Dave Brubeck once said Buddy Rich and Joe Morello had a drum battle that "lasted all afternoon." I would certainly give Buddy the edge on power, and Joe on musicality. It comes down to how we can evaluate. When I was a kid I asked my dad what made Krupa better than me and he replied "he can do everything you can and more." I've always thought that was a fair watermark for good, better and best. But I agree, as we approach the pinnacle of playing, style, not technique, determines a drummer's worth. Technique is like tools in a tool box, and the best players all have similar tools, it's what they do with them that defines who they are as musicians. Just my two cents.

The kit has nothing to do with it. If you can do it on a large kit, you can do it on a small kit. That isn't even a factor. He did more because he had to because he preferred a small kit. You can still implement fewer drums on a larger kit. This is a moot point.

@@paulburke407 Exactly. There simply is no best. Buddy was best at being Buddy, but he couldn't do a lot of what Weckl does, nor could Dave do a lot of what Buddy did. Buddy couldn't touch what Thomas Lang can do or Virgil Donati or Chris Coleman or Vinnie, etc. He could, however, do some things they couldn't. No drummer is best at every aspect of drumming. He was amazing, but not the best, nor is anyone else.

Buddy did more on his kit In a solo than most do in a lifetime. He is indeed the GOAT.

@@tortillasarenotbiceps7622 I appreciate your point...as a drummer myself, I think simply enjoying music - regardless of the skill level of the drummer - can be important...with this said, once someone starts the "best drummer" debate/war, the assessments may be skewed by e.g., personal preference, exposure to different drummers, exposure to differing music genres, differing standards for skill aspects, and non-standardization of skill aspect standards themselves...I think an "upper echelon" category eases the "best drummer" to a degree (but not totally - the debate/war of "Who makes the cut?" could still exist)...

Not only his mad skills make him great, it's also his passion and energy he brings to his performance, and his intuitive knowledge of musicality. If he wasn't already an ace on drums he could surely be great on any instrument. It's not only his talent but his hard work and dedication to the craft. It's why he's so humble. He knows what it took to get him here.

Wow. Fun stuff. Total enjoyment. Thanks.

Keep practicing and you'll get there.

Buddy was in another level and I get why people think he’s the greatest, but it really depends on how you see drumming to make a statement like that. It’s a matter of taste

this jerky fool wont even get ten levels below buddy hes terrible hes no musician overplaying like a jerk stepping on soloisyts its a god forsaken mess i heard 2 mins of it and will never waste another 2 mins again..but the real disgusting thing is how he tries so desperatly to compare himself to buddy..when hes not even close..theres this chinese kid that cops buddy almost to a scary level ok its a copy but its done correctly have you seen him yet? check him out its buddy incarnate almost creepy.. but even he doesnt compare himself to br he pays him due tribute so i usually hate copy cats but in that kids case i make an exception he does it that well..that i can listen to this noise> no just fffn noo

That is the best version of Caravan that I ever heard, and this drummer is totally amazing. His solo was second to No One... What a master of his art!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!

This is a type of drumming I'll never wrap my mind around. Truly awesome.

This kid is a phenomenal! Great job Greyson. You are an inspiration!

What I think has been missed, beyond Big Bands in general, was how Buddy DROVE a band. IMO, Buddy played for the song while playing with style and flash. He found a way to balance a certain amount of showing off with playing what was perfect for the song. No one has ever played Time Check as well as Buddy did. Buddy played that song in a way that no one else has, and the way he played it was far better than anyone else I've ever heard play it. The point of all that is this - Greyson could be the guy that brings that kind of drumming back. He just needs a Big Band to play with him. All of this is for nothing if he doesn't put together a Big Band and record albums and play live gigs.

Pa Pa Joe Jones 1911 - 1985 . big band drummer . One of the best . He played with a big smile on his face, he was enjoying his own playing and so was the audience. played with Count Basie and every one that was recognized as talented in the jazz era. pioneered the use of brushes , and shifting the ride pattern from the hi hat to a large cymbal called the ride cymbal. EDIT not to be confused with Philly Joe Jones 1923 - 1985 . a drummer who played with Miles Davis . Philly Joe Jones and Pa Pa Joe Jones died just days apart . RIP

Greyson utilizes his fingers to maximize his speed also strikes his crash and ride cymbal from underneath a legitimate technique that he could explain better than i. he would agree i believe that you learn a lot from doing things that sound good even if not considered orthodox by critics and drum authorities mainly teachers . if it SOUNDS good it's legit . the only bad techniques are ones then can damage your hands, feet, posture, etc. IMO

Buddy Rich was incredible. Although I think his drumming is a bit difficult to grasp and not the most musical, what Virgil Donati can do behind the drums is un real.

He's so charismatic. I love this guy. Thank you.

Ur approach when u play music is so powerfull an confident is great to watch....i love it...

My 2 cents.The late John Blackwell is the Goat!All syles of music an innovator who also shared his techniques which is unheard because most great technical and showmanship drummers try to hide their secrets.

not quite the Buddy Rich, Buddy had better control

Young man,u are up there with all the greats....

What a inspiration I was exactly like this young man 40 years ago doing school productions tv gigs and took another business path that was very successful but looking back it's not about money it's about the love of music that I'm still chasing. Fantastic video and inspiration. Respect Tim from Australia 🇦🇺

Интересно было бы его послушать , если бы он играл обыкновенную эстрадную песню , типа в стиле Модерн Токинг ? Всегда интересовало , как бы барабанщики уровня Вэкла играли бы обыкновенную попсу? :)

If you're going to compare Greyson to Buddy, I'll tell you this. Greyson has quick hands BUT NOWHERE near the power of a Buddy Rich, Butch Miles or Louie Bellson. Greyson has a very light touch which is fine. His rim shots are very light. I prefer the power, the hard rim shots that cut through everything & bang you over the head when you hear them. I don't hear this with Greyson at all. It's all just quick and light. He's like a Buddy Rich Light. LOL..That weird thing his fingers do - going in and out when he's playing singles is a little different. Watching Buddy play fast singles is like art. When Buddy played, you felt it. Buddy had very strong forearms. Greyson is not as strong, .but I do like his playing. He's a nice kid and he's dedicated.

You are something special my man. Absolutely mind blowing. I wish I had a tenth of your talent.

there is no words, brutally amazing..

Grayson's playing is like the eternal struggle between the light side and the dark side. It's like his consciousness is trying to stay jazz but his emotional physicality wants to rock out. In classic times he'd have been too extreme but you can't deny his passion!
