Imagining you are playing with those guys Andre.. I think I won't handle it due to instant mind blow!! You are definitely a monster player too Maestro..
This song is from a band called Spastic ink that he formed with his brother Ron Jarzombek who is a guitar monster and a composition wizard. If you like prog or math metal, Ron is your guy.
@@DrumlionMusic Write "Blotted science" then 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's one of Ron's projects, same prog metal stuff but heavier. Ron on guitars, Alex Webster (bass player from Cannibal Corpse) on bass and Charlie Zeleny (first album) and Hannes Grossmann (second album) on drums
There's another video lurking on YT that does break down the signatures - 4/4 alternating with 5/4, 5/8 and 3/4, 5/16 and 7/16.....all over the place. Both Bobby and Ron are unbelievably accomplished musicians. Nice reaction, I couldn't do one without crying in the corner :)
Great video man! I played country with Bob in San Antonio and taught guitar at the same music store as his brother Ron who is also crazy unique and talented. That’s his brother playing on this tune.
Bobby's work in the band with his guitarist brother Ron, called Spastic Inc is definitely some of Bobby's best work. Don't miss out on watching the Bambi cartoon videos that Bobby, Ron and their bass player made to get work in movies 😉💯🙏
The set should be setup to conform to your bodies natural motion. If you do a circle with your arm from the elbow or shoulder, your cymbals and drums should be in a place where your arm will naturally want to go.
it just a learned movenment. Like a guitarist knows where frets are, I'm not a particularly good drummer but I cant play happily with my eyes closed. My body has learned the movements needed to hit each part of the set.
Bobby drumming is mind boggling. He actually hates wearing shoes. His brother Ron is amazing on guitar.He actually has written his own theory called Oscillation Cycles.Spastic Ink is their project as brothers.....
Bobby started as a righty and taught himself open handed so that he didn't have to do cross overs when being musical, as in adding toms during beats. The craziest part tho, he splits his double bass drumming so that his right foot does say, 1 and, the left foot does, e ah. He will even start beats on his left foot to keep this pattern going 🤯
Besides being brothers and having a psychic connection they both read music. Bobby will chart everything out so it matches perfectly with the instrumentation. I remember when I heard Spastic Ink back in the 90’s it wrecked my brain. I never heard music the same again…
Geeat video i can tell you are a knowledgeable drummer and music head Bobby is a legend, one of a kind, to this day I still listen to spastik ink and keep finding new stuff after more than 10 years Cheers from argentina
He was asked to audition for Dream Theater but Jarzombek turned it down. They even offered to reschedule, because he tried to be polite by stating that he had a gig. But he still wouldn't do it. He talks about it in an interview on youtube.
@@DrumlionMusic It was during that period, yes. He was supposed to be among that group of candidates, along with Mangini, Donati, Minneman, and Priester.
He actually uses the cymbals behind his head for convenience/time efficiency. Meaning, you literally come from the snare/hi-hat/crash/ride/whatever and hit the cymbal behind with full power and you can go straight down to the next hit, it's both ways like an exaggerated way of lifting the arm to execute.
Great Great video great explanation simply outstanding, Bobby is a beast for me he is best drummer I've seen, he can play whatever he wants jazz, heavy metal, trash metal, he play with Rob Halford with halford band and is not a normal human being he improve in every aspect over Judas songs sounding more clean and faster than Scott Travis.
When guys play like this I can’t help but appreciate the skill and determination it requires to make this happen. I just don’t care- I can’t listen to it. It’s incredible that these cats can do it, that it’s possible…we all savor different flavors
yep, He started swapping during the rehearsing/recording for Riot's 'Priviledge of Power' album, when he needed to do so for certain parts. He then realized all the advantages of open handed playing and progressed from there.
Bobby has similarities and makes me think of Dream Theater when Mike Portnoy was swinging the chops in the band.. But, Bobby is unworldly when it comes to drumming ability..
Yeah, the late Jon Hiseman was a beast! There's some old footage of him playing with Jack Bruce that's jaw-dropping. And then there's Colosseum II with Gary Moore. Simply amazing!
@@DrumlionMusic There's Hiseman with Jack Bruce and Allan Holdsworth, and another video of Jack Bruce playing _furious_ acoustic jazz on upright bass, with Hiseman and a sax player.
I have a suggestion: instead of making the subject of your video so small, make your narcissistic self small so we can better appreciate the content. Cheers.
Both Jarzombek brothers are monster players.

@@TheFeanor06 thanks buddy, but those guys are other worldly.
They have a 3rd brother that plays bass, used to have a band called Jarz.
Spasitc Ink made me stop listening to prog metal... it was just to much! :)
Understood, I could clear a room with it in late 80s. I loved it, but people couldn't handle it.
Bobby is one of the best rock/metal drummers ever and so few drummers know about him.
I always tell people that Bobby and Elliott Hoffman from "Carbomb" are the best drummers you've never heard of.

Yes I was reading up a little on that!I feel like I need a pen and paper for this stuff haha

@@fartvader84yearsago8 Holy s*** Ive heard Blotted Science! I had no idea that it was a super group with those guys!!
@@DrumlionMusic you search here once for 'Spastic Ink recording Aquanet' or 'Spastic Ink Playing Melissa's Friend'
@@Signofevil_Smile4theCam *furiously writes notes on this*
Yeah he's really something else 😁
i love when Bobby tightens up the cymbal lug....
He is the only drummer to turn down Dream Theater's cattle call when Mike Portnoy left the band!
I’m not a drummer but this is beyond impressive. Seriously……listening to this forces your body to move. Enjoyable isn’t a strong enough word.
There's another video lurking on YT that does break down the signatures - 4/4 alternating with 5/4, 5/8 and 3/4, 5/16 and 7/16.....all over the place. Both Bobby and Ron are unbelievably accomplished musicians.

Your reactions.....were exactly like mine the first time i ever saw this. No better prog beast alive at that time. PERIOD

Im always impressed by the fact that drummers know instinctively where the cymbals are in their kits....I dont know how you can just know this...

Riot,Halford,Sebastian Bach,Fates Warning,Iced earth,Spastic Ink,Juggernaut,George Strait are a few bands hes played with....

He is currently playing with the Toman Brothers, Jody Jenkins, and George Strait, as well as his metal work.
He was asked to audition for Dream Theater but Jarzombek turned it down. They even offered to reschedule, because he tried to be polite by stating that he had a gig. But he still wouldn't do it. He talks about it in an interview on youtube.
Ima have to check this out. Wow... Was this before Mike Mangini?
@@DrumlionMusic It was during that period, yes. He was supposed to be among that group of candidates, along with Mangini, Donati, Minneman, and Priester.
@@DrumlionMusic Here it is: th-cam.com/video/wVaIEPWnl2Y/w-d-xo.html
@@MrClassicmetal those names... Wow. That is a rogues gallery of insanely good drummers....
@@MrClassicmetal thanks! Ill check this out when i get out of class tonight!

This makes sense! I appreciate the insight on this!
Yes but I’m certain songs he plays he also muted them.. watch more of his stuff he’s insane ..
Ha, told ya!!!

He is righty, but learned to play open handed.
That makes it even more impressive... Geez
@@DrumlionMusic And he's completely self taught, as is Ron too.
yep, He started swapping during the rehearsing/recording for Riot's 'Priviledge of Power' album, when he needed to do so for certain parts. He then realized all the advantages of open handed playing and progressed from there.
@@Signofevil_Smile4theCam that's so dope! And thank you for the information. I love learning new things like this from you guys
Bobby has similarities and makes me think of Dream Theater when Mike Portnoy was swinging the chops in the band.. But, Bobby is unworldly when it comes to drumming ability..
Originally i believe Bobby was supposed to drum for dream theater.
@@DrumlionMusic i was actually Not aware of that.. Well that explains a bit. He would have been a Great fit..
He was invited to the audition for DT but turned them down
@@Signofevil_Smile4theCam Good, that "audition" after Portnoy left was a sham
Check once Jon Hiseman (RIP)
Ok bet!
Yeah, the late Jon Hiseman was a beast! There's some old footage of him playing with Jack Bruce that's jaw-dropping.
And then there's Colosseum II with Gary Moore. Simply amazing!
@@MrClassicmetal just reading this comment i already feel hypnotized the the sheer musicality of imagining the songs in my head.
@@DrumlionMusic There's Hiseman with Jack Bruce and Allan Holdsworth, and another video of Jack Bruce playing _furious_ acoustic jazz on upright bass, with Hiseman and a sax player.
Can he play smells like teen spirit ?
Please listen Darkside from mgla.
React too travis orbin bugs
Ill have to check this recommendation out
If you want another good (and funny) recommendation, check "The Mad drummer" here in TH-cam, he is hilarious.
That names sounds super familiar. Ima have to look into this...
Everything is set up so closely together he looks like he's playing in a closet.
I have a suggestion: instead of making the subject of your video so small, make your narcissistic self small so we can better appreciate the content. Cheers.
Why dont you just watch the original video on its own if you dont like the commentary?
