To normal people it's really fast, but for drummers it feels like enternity
Real
Eh I beg to differ
@@leoltr1045 well I dont know who you are but you sure have a lot of stamina of that's the case
My drumming experience ends at grade school but this feels like a few eternities
@@gundir7504 yeah and i feel the pain
He even got the amount of sweat right
haha
But not the right amount of blood.
@@arka7018 why the hell did Google translate "haha" to "Lol" for your comment😭😭
wkwk
Lmao yes
The hardest part about this solo is remembering the whole thing
I beg to differ but that’s my opinion, I’m not a serious drummer either
@@Dizzydawne that, and i have a seriously horrible memory so take it with a grain of salt
Not really
@@dharmabum2838 i mean nothing in the solo itself is very hard its just mkre of an endurance thing
Yeah its easy to remember, just stamina needs to be on level Vergil from DMC.
Greyson did a review on drum scenes in movies. Interestingly when reviewing this scene he talked about how the effort seemed over exaggerated and the facials were too intense. Yet here he is fighting for his goddamn life haha. Well done sir!
I noticed that right away- in that interview he seems so dismissive and "whatever" about the whole thing as if it's first grade drumming, but here he's just as strained, if not a bit more elegant, with his face and play.
And this is in the comfort of his own home, backseat drivers always yap
Greyson expressions weren't as intense as in the movie. Big effort sure, but not tortured grin like in the movie.
the main complaint he had wasn't how much effort it took, but how stiff and strained the drummer was. Even when he's struggling, he's still in control
@@TenebrousableIn the film, the drummer was injured after a car accident
You left out the most important part of this solo. Bleeding.
That was behind the scenes, when he did all that practice
@@raknos13 the cymbals weren’t sweating either 🗿
Fuuck 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
the drum gods demand a blood sacrifice
I'm a drummer and even I have no idea how this guy can replicate such complex, varied solo
Your limited to the amount of effort you put in. It was good but he definitely put time in learning it, it was definitely no walk in the park, not even for a prodigy could pick that up that easy. You could easily do the same. Considering he got 9.9m views off of it. It was well worth it.
@@mehmethecebil1835 and dude u were literally dropped when u were born, how crazy is that
@@ruby9592 not so much
@@mehmethecebil1835 if its that easy do it yourself
@@mmshorts9146this reminds me of another youtube comment talking about rush E
This man’s left hand has more strength than my whole body combined
True lol
It's has absolutely nothing to do with strength. It's all about the right technique strength has almost nothing to do with it.
@@samuelhodil1458 You need also muscles for that but yes his technique is on a other level

@@mayo3761 hhh
Aside from everything else, I’ve played drums for 7 years and I find it insanely impressive that somebody can play as fast as 3:34 at singles
It really is impressive
His left hand looks totally insane.
That good ole rebound stroke 😅
just tapped it out - those are 16ths around 215 BPM. I've been playing for 12 years, the past 2-3 years more intensively than others, and while running rudiments I usually start cramping up around 170-180 if I can't take a break in the pocket. Even doubles are pretty tough to hold steady at that speed.
You should watch some marching band drummers if you really want to feel like you need to practice, there's one video of a guy who can roll at 999 BPM and i fuckin hate it LOL
kameronharrington are you talking about the black guy who drums in a field? He makes me feel worthless as a drummer lmao
THIS is how a drum solo should be: technically challenging, but also passionate.
Insane chops are not enough.
As a non-drummer, this sounds like crap.
@@goodnamestaken Crap? Well did it sound like crap in the movie?
This is a cover attempt.. it's far from perfect, and is quite an obscure and almost abstract solo, so it makes sense.
But it's okay, many non drummers think the most basic of drum beats are the best, like a simple halftime beat, which is funny to us.
@@Frejborg Yes also in the movie. I'm not saying the guy in the vid isn't a great drummer, seems like he is. I'm saying that the solo itself sounds terrible. Just because something is physically difficult doesn't mean it sounds good musically. This seems like an instance where drummers are very impressed by the physical difficulty and skill required (honestly seems even harder to cover, esp if the original was improvised) but sounds horrible to anyone who isn't a drummer.
@@goodnamestaken That's amusing to me, because that's exactly the kind of drummer I am, and value. Drummers and solos who are musical, and not just just technical.
Like I said, this particular one is bordering on abstract, though it is musical also. It's a mixture of technical, musical, and passionate/inspirational/however you want to describe that abstract aspect.
@@Frejborg Nah bro I am a drummer as well but this really does sound like shit, even though impressive
It’s insane how a microwave minute, a plank minute and a drum solo minute are somehow all equally long as hell
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHHAAA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I cant imagine how heartbreaking it'd be to miss that final crash when the instruments all joined in
Cymbals are pretty big, it’s hard to miss them when you throw your hands in their general direction 😂
@@andyspendlove1019 Just keep swinging your hand into the cymbal when you feel the stick slipping from your hand. Something will hit the cymbal.
@@andyspendlove1019 He means the timing of the hit I am sure.
Straight to jail!
Its just as much about timing as any other part of the song ...
The coach’s reaction is priceless. Arrogant and caring at the same time.what a versatile actor he is
this is quite my tempo
Yeah ❤️
Yes It Is.

i came here to this comment
glad im the 1000th person like this comment
This scene was already impressive as a regular viewer, but now that I've started taking drum lessons I appreciate how batshit insane this solo is even more.
how batshit insane this solo is, can you give us an idea as non drummers
I am just starting to learn drums. And i am filling like joe from friend. When he realized he will never be a good actor like the monkey 😂
@@user-te9yg8nl5h very good stamina is important here, also timing
I am a guitarist, but even I can see how insane and tiring this whole ass solo can be to play, really.
@@user-te9yg8nl5h he won a clash royale match with 0.5 elixer regen speed
Always amazes me how drummer can replicate such complex, varied solos. The amount of information, not assimilated through harmonic or melodic language is incomprehensible to me.
A drum solo can be transcribed in notation form and replicated identically. It follows a combination of phrases, rudiments, strokes, rolls, accents; just like any other instrument.
reading / transcribing it vs. having the skill to play it is another conversation ;)
Rhythmic language.
You start off with feeling the overall rhythm and then build on top of that.
It all comes down to counting
As a percussionist I never ONCE thought of recreating this cause of how difficult this is hats off to you my boi
Even if you don't play drums this is insane, but as a drummer this is like seeing a ghost.
right😭😭 man’s 16th notes with one hands had me almost quitting the drums
Not really
@@cumcumcum6969 You gotta be kidding me.
@@cumcumcum6969 Animals As Leaders FTW.
He's really fast but it not really complex i think
Real testament to how difficult this piece is by how much he's sweating. Movie overdramatized it a bit with the blood, but that level of playing will cramp you SO fast. Damned impressive.
Remember he got in an accident before playing
@@changuisjjh4132 no he didnt. That was the previous show.
Lots of merit and a difficult piece. But being honest, he's already sweating at the start of the video
Obviously you either are not a drummer or you are not a hard hitter behind the kit or fly all over the kit and ever busted a knuckle or two on a rim❗😘🤙
~🎼⚡🎶☆🥁☆🎶⚡🎼~
@@MrJones019 my man ain't just sweating he's dripping lmao
I never realised how long the solo actually went for. It was so captivating in the movie that you really just lose track of time. If you had asked me before watching this I would’ve told you it lasted maybe 30 seconds. Absolutely insane
Edit: I'm talking purely about the solo itself, not the entire piece of music. Note "How long the solo actually went for"
Same here , I was like I need more!
He is actually playing this at a faster tempo then what the movie plays which is insane
For me it lasted like 20 min, I was inawe the first time I saw this scene
goddamn i didnt realise this was a almost 5 min video, fr thought it was like 2 min max
Huhh it actually felt like only 2 minutes
One of the greatest scenes in film I’ve ever seen
I cannot imagine how much time it mustve taken to learn this entire thing and record the entire thing with no mistakes
there indefinitely was more than one take
Don't get me wrong it was absolutely amazing, but there were some minor mistakes
@@GuideGame1 Okay show us you doing it perfectly then
Why do I feel like this thread is gonna turn into another Fanchen situation
@@Pharium bro don’t be like that just cuz he noticed some mistakes
When Greyson looks at the screen and seems to smile as Fletcher looks smiling back at him. Goosebumps.
When their eyes meet you think Andrew finally has the upper hand. But in actuality fletcher has won and the old Andrew is no more. Amazing solo!
@@glyakkit's debattable. They both won. Both had what they wanted.
Or not.
I tear up every time
@@Absolutely_puck_fakestine the entire movie is kind of like "I've won.. but at what cost"
The look in his dad's eyes is what gives me goosebumps
to me, the most impressive part of the solo(besides memorization, and the speed with accuracy after the dip) has got to be dropping the tempo after your adrenaline has you in "go mode". to have to do that gracefully, is crazy to me. drummers with roots in jazz are always the most skilled imo
Any musician who starts with jazz is usually the most proficient, it’s basically the ground floor of all major genres of music from like the 20’s onwards. I really wish I had the patience to study jazz more lmao
I think I agree with you, not just for drums but any other instrument too. My roots being piano and keys, the difference between straight, repetitive chords of rock and pop (usually without extensions), compared to jazz piano is insane. Jazz piano is improvised a lot, and jazz players use plenty of chord extensions in all different inversions while making it flow with the rest of the band. Masterful.
Edit: Jazz solos are also insane, being able to come up with complex melodies on the spot is incredible.
I think some metal drummers are incredibly proficient without having a jazz background, don't get me wrong it definitely helps (eg.Tomas Haake) but isn't as necessary as the genre values slightly different things. For me examples of this would be Austin Archey of Lorna Shore or Aaron Kutcher of Infant Annihilator. The extreme nature of the music and its want to push for further extremes breeds some insanely skilled players. Both are amazing and we are so lucky to be able to enjoy watching such artists.
In the movie sey "rock is for the lusers" because jazz is more demanding.
Buddy rich comes to mind especially when he does it on the rim of the snare drum
What is amazing to me about the entirety of this movie is that my daughter takes percussion in high school and what she exclaims to me on almost a daily basis is almost entirely the exact same as this movie although in the movie it’s dramatized dramatically but the overwhelming desire for the student to please the teacher and the respect between both is spot on! Even the love hate aspect is there!!
even if you dont think this is super complex from a technical perspective, this requires a super-human endurance and focus, going that fast that long while still remembering everything is insane, a part thats overlooked is the slow down and then speeding back up, not only would you need to remember exactly when to do it, to be able to stay on tempo while being that tired and after going that fast is near impossible, you'd either be falling off tempo from exhaustion or you'd be skipping ahead because it would be hard to slow down after going that fast, just insane man, respect.
If you're an amateur, that's correct. lol
This is hard.. for beginners.
Yes the drums from an outside perspective do look incredibly complex. But it's just a solo.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but he has a earpiece and the movie is on the laptop on his left
Yeah, but it's not supposed to be for professionals. Any other metal professional drummer could go in and crush metallica's music.
A few million things that could go wrong... but it's just so perfect.
Practice.
This is so impressive. The amount of time put in and skill this takes. This needs to blow up
I hope it does but sadly a bunch of fake pranks get more views.
Its in my youtube suggested you may have got the wish
You're getting your wish. Greyson blowing up and deserves every bit of it.
blowin' up right now

Woooow that’s literally amazing.
But not quite my tempo

@@dirge44 🤣
Dam. You won 🏆
The stamina !! The sheer ….. dedication…. Omg. Bravo sir. Bravo !!
He has very good stick control. I'm approaching sixty. I've been playing drums since 6th grade and I never developed such stick control. I can play all kinds of classic rock, and I can play it good but I never worked on such stick control. Young drummers. Do what he does and you will be able to do most anything. Work at it, labor at it, live it, breath it, love it, and you will progress at it quite well.
Aren't you a relative of Louis Cole?
I got to be this good when I was in Highschool, but at the expense of everything else. All I did was eat, sleep, and play drums. I regret that.
"Those who cant play jazz drums play rock" or something like that i wouldnt know
Thank you sir.
@@joebaumgart1146 oh yeah, of course we believe you. If you were that good you could easily make living out of drumming.
i always admired this drum solo. very chaotic but pleasing at the same time. it’s a representation of the state of mind miles was in, his passion has made him crazy, but he doesnt know it since he’s doing the one thing he only wants to do
I don't believe the common reading that this is the "bad end" and that he's "given into the madness" because his family is a bunch of normies who don't care about his passion, and he should abandon them to pursue his goal because it clearly makes him happy.
@a I know I'm a bit late to this comment thread, but I actually think this is the happy ending. He finally took his life and his passion into his own hands, he said fuck everyone else I'm gonna do what I want and what I know is right. The character development peaks as Miles' character reaches his full potential while also giving a big fuck you to the tyrant - the villain, if you will - JK Simmons' character. The movie ends on the highest of highs as our main character reaches their well deserved potential.
It’s actually intended as a tragic ending, from the screenwriter himself. Miles eschewed all other things that tend to make up a normal, balanced life in order to feed his obsession absolutely. You can argue his obsession had partly to do w ego, but bottom line it’s about going too far possibly in pursuit of achieving something that may or may not have positive effects on your life. Simmons’ character is a representation of this obsession, and his need to finally satisfy and please it is evident by the final look they exchange. He satisfied his ego finally. And the shot of the father his face goes from amazement to horror. Part of the script was cut from the movie that shows a bit clearer how he realizes he completely lost his son to this obsession he has.
The movie definitely is a tragedy. The beats it hits makes that clear. Miles has the opportunity to push back against his flaw and obsession which will probably help him achieve more balance and healthy life and possibly happiness, but he instead indulges the flaw and doubles down even harder.
To reinforce this point, the screenwriter has said that he viewed Miles as someone who would be dead in his 20s from a drug overdose. That or early 30s I forget.
@IvanWolf FurryGuy yeah man. Amazing movie, Damian chazelle is an awesome screenwriter. Should have won best picture no question imo. What I love is a story that is clear what the writer (and director) was trying to achieve once you understand the full scope of details but that also allows for other interpretations. Your other comments make sense and so do the other commentors’. I actually love open interpretation movies lol, but Hollywood likes a more clear cut wrapped up third act. Because the openness makes people uncomfortable in a way, and the point is to have that pay off be satisfying and clear. Which unfortunately is why we get so many cheap popcorn summer blockbuster level scripts these days.
Whiplash is so good. It draws different conclusions based on the viewer while still providing that payoff. It just might be varied depending on the viewer. The first couple times I saw it I thought it was a happy ending. I thought miles finally achieved greatness he desired and persevered in spite of all the obstacles-which he did, but I wasn’t picking up on what I now consider the real story and character arc Bc of my own biases. I had a similar family to Miles so I only saw the lack of engagement and enthusiasm and understanding of what their son was achieving and had already achieved and also the father’s look of amazement when he sees Miles’ greatness at the end. It’s like my brain blocked out the shift to true horror on the father’s face before the camera cuts back.
My own growth in understanding story better over time unlocked some things, plus learning more about the writer and script etc. But it’s great when a movie comes along that has commercial and award appeal and also makes viewers think and feel in their own ways about universal truths.
@@kyleconnor2759 I like how your take is the correct one but everywhere on yt you can read comments from the grindset cringe crowd that believe miles became an alpha or some bs like that.
As a drummer myself of 15+ years, you sir, are incredible and we need more of you in the world. Thank you for this amazing cover, bravo 👏
It's so slow though

@@peroh3408 you're not? That's too bad drums are pretty easy,I've been playing for 24 years now it's a simple mechanical skill anyone can learn and it's nothing like this terrible movie makes it out to be lol
This was honestly so unbelievably talented! What a tremendous amount of effort! 👍💖
I really don't know why, but as a drummer I literally have to hold back my tears every time the moment Terence gives him that "YES, THAT WAS IT!" kinda head nod. I just had to hold back tears while listening to your cover too. WELL DONE!
I tear up everytime too. And I have no music talent at all. I bought a guitar during the first lockdown and touched it maybe 3 times. This movie is just that good
Oh good grief.... that's one of the corniest things I've ever heard lololol
I get teary myself every time and I have no drum skills but maybe this means I should try it out!
I'm not a drummer, but this scene swoons the emotions out of me, it's awe-inspiring and it taught me a brilliant life lesson, in order to bring people back up, you have to first bring them down to motivate them to show you that they're better than you think they are.
@@Sir_Catnip weird that you find that corny.
One of the most impressive things I've ever seen. The rhythm and coordination on their own is mind-blowing, then on top of that its so physically taxing. Amazing work
Every tech death drummer reading these comments: :/
@@coreywho2972 what is this tech death, teach me
Not to mention the memory.
@@coreywho2972 it’s a lot easier to play blast beats constantly compared to the techniques he’s doing for long periods of time. I’m not taking away from metal drummers at all.
@@ianbeckermusic8846 who the fucks talking about blast beats ? Im talking about double kicks at 270bpm with combat boots on. Or Eugene's kicks side to side. A technique almost no one on this planet can imitate. No offense but you clearly don't know anything about it. This dudes miles away from being close to Francesco Pauli talent.
I once missed the famous rest at the end of Handel's Messiah while playing tympani in an orchestra. The look the conductor gave me still haunts my dreams 25 years later.
@Repent to Jesus Christ 🙁
@Repent to Jesus Christ Jesus spoke to me and said that everything was cool and there is zero reason to fear him and god because god did not create us to fear him. He also asked me to pray for you so that you would chill out and live your life and let other people live their lives as well.
@@ElephantsGerald best response to one of these “self righteous” posts I have ever seen.
Well played.
@@ElephantsGerald seems like god uses scare tactics all the time don’t do that or you suffer for forever but do what i want and you get to go to heaven or worship ME as a GOD or you suffer for forever ykwim that’s what made me an atheist after growing up christian
@@cjduenaz2638 The very idea that we are created by a "god" who wants us to fear him and worship him so that we can then die and spend eternity with them is so utterly ridiculous. Why create beings in the first place if you only create them to serve you? If you are a being that can manifest an entire universe into existence from your own will, why would you need to create beings that are essentially "ants" compared to you and then demand that they worship you and serve you? Zappa said it best: "If man kind is created in the image of god, and man is dumb, then god is dumb with a little ugly on the side."
Dude I have been looking for a video of someone actually playing this solo. You absolutely conquered it. Well done you are immensely talented and I wish you the best in your career
The power of humanity to achieve anything, including repeating this piece beat for beat, is astounding. Awesome job.

After this day, I'm never calling myself a drummer ever again.... I'm just a man who can throw sticks and make some noise... this guy on the other hand.. he's a DRUMMER
GOD LEVEL KİND
Nah man don’t think that. If you can keep a solid steady beat and get paid for it you are the drummer.
Not really, you can be whatever type of drummer you want.
Even if you play seven nation army, you are a drummer
Made me think of the Energizer bunny🙌😎
@@n3drums ;-; i dont get paid but I play the drum for fun. guess I'm not a drummer
Jesus christ man that left hand technique is the most impressive thing I've ever seen a drummer do
It looks to me like Buddy Rich's technique of basically doing one-handed drum rolls using just his left hand. I don't even think it's possible if you play using a matched grip.
@@android927 I saw that left hand going and I'm like: "Wait, that's Buddy Rich!"
It's fitting givin that the kid from the film idolizes Buddy Rich.
why do i always see you specifically commenting everywhere btw i love your PSP guides
@@qerqeqg.9255 I comment on pretty much every video and I'm addicted to TH-cam, and thank you
One of my biggest struggles as a drummer is not over exerting myself and playing too hard... it's so easy for me to needlessly wear myself out. With something like this, it almost seems as though wearing yourself out is a requirement. Very impressive💯
I thought he turned off the audio from the movie so we wouldn’t hear the difference.. then I heard the movie- audio in the drumroll and realised he played the entire thing with original audio present. Which means he played almost every single tom, snare, hi- hiat etc. at the exact right time. Damn, I need to practice more..
Yeah, it's the parts where the tempo slows and then picks back up. You can hear a few beats that are ever so sightly off from the film audio and it was mind-blowing to figure out so deep into the video that the film audio had always been present. Very very tight.
@@Stu_M yes exactly! Extremely tight!
Absolutely mind-blowing.
You are a Drummer, he is just a God.
@@gugo1467 precisely. I am not worthy
Even more impressive: this isn’t his first take. He’s already sweating when the video starts.
Also use this comment as a second like for the video. Because one like per person isn’t enough.
@@pierceclegg825 clearly been going for a while, meaning he’s endured a lot before even starting this piece
@@pierceclegg825 his dedication to keep going (I’m guessing you’re not a musician)

Actually drummers are just always THAT sweaty.
Obviously more impressive if it was his first take
That pain in 4:00 it´s a thing that only drummers will understand. Technically you can do it, but your body simply can´t. Amazing.
I played this on a guitar and it only took me half the time. This makes me the greatest.
WTF, Gailz
@@slow4322 yes

You're fucking insane, I'm lost of words, the dedication to learn the hardest solo ever is incredible.
Edit: Wow, I never thought that a comment like mine would hit some nerves. lool, for the people replying saying "it's not the hardest solo," I simply don't care, I was and still are impressed by this guy learning in, a well intended comment to this guy turns into a war of "men" crying who's the best in drums😂😂 go outside and touch some grass, I bet half of this people didn't even stand close to some drumsticks and came here trying to speak with "knowledge"
Idk about the hardest but..
@@sinfulchickennuggets7093 if you compare whisplash's solo and buddy rich's impossible solo you can see what they are similar
@@dothpath1525 this doesn’t come close to Buddy Rich’s drumming solo. Dude was on another level.
@Garmon for this type of solos you can kinda learn the first part, then the rest is pretty much blasting. You can watch the Marcus Gilmore Zildjian LIVE transcription. I think every single person on this planet would agree that it would take more time to get that performanxe right, rather than this one.
It's not the hardest honestly.
I feel like drummers are just masters of multitasking and hand-eye-coordination, I can't even walk without tripping over at least once while trying to fish my phone out of my pocket.
It really is a multitasking thing
We still do that, it's just a more coordinated fall :)
youd be surprised what you can do when you put your mind to something and dedicate yourself to practicing that particular something. Lots of people just dont have the internal motivation to do more than just get by. You only get one life why not make it special haha
Organ?
Practice
Movie might not be accurate to how musical schools are, but it’s entirely accurate on the level of dedication, heart and adversity you must have to accomplish this level of playing and skill. Cheers to you dude.
Pretty sure it's just that one teacher from that one musical schools. Honestly it can be accurate because there are teachers like the teacher in Whiplash where they push you over the limit and it becomes mental and emotional abuse. Just because it didn't happen in over 1000 musical schools doesn't mean it didn't happen out of the 1 that does exist and yeah my brother came across a teacher like that for Piano in China. Quit 3 weeks after because that teacher really doesn't care except his own reputation.
It's accurate if you want to be that good at the shortest amount of time. His professor push him so much to the point of abuse. I think it's not the case with drummer but I heard some pianist trainer really push their disciple to the point of borderline abuse.
There was a teacher like that in school near me, of course he was eventually fired because moms complained. Then that school never won any competition again.
@@daniswara1164 sacrifice is the key word
My parents went to Berklee in the 70s and 80s and they told me this movie isn't that far off. With some dramatic liberties, of course.
The way fletcher looked the boy in the eyes was just the best moment of the movie.
Memorizing this is mind blowing on its own. Performing it is a whole other ball game. Respect!
No replies to this comment, I’ll be the first.
@@UhKimboze At least have a point to make.
@@TheWelchProductions I'm sorry you don't like what I said.
And to be honest, it's much more of a meme/joke than anything else. I did this before and got a chain of 60 people replying back to each other the same thing. I'm in no way trying to be astute or serious, I just see a comment with a lot of likes and no replies and can't help but wonder why no one's said anything yet. Alas, I comment about that exact thing in hopes of a ridiculously long chain of comments stemming from mine.

As a drummer for 48 yrs and always impressed by see new young drummers.
Your just amazing. Fantastic jop !
nice pfp

Same. Not a drummer but a bass player of 49 yrs. always good to see young hungry musicians trying to be the best
Check out JD Beck
@@hendrixlove4713 in this case it’s because I just discovered the kid this week and I’m excited about it. But yeah, I know what you mean, it bothers me, too. My apologies
IS IMPRESSIVE HOW EVERYTHING MOVES EXACTLY THE SAME WTF THIS IS AMAZING 😭😭❤️
It’s crazy to think everyone that watched the movie thought it was incredible, when in reality it was all just an actor playing a role, then when somebody like you comes onto TH-cam and shows us yourself, a real drummer doing the actual thing the actor did in the movie it’s 10x more mind blowing. This is fucking awesome!
I'm pretty sure the actor in the movie actually does play the drums, and he did actually play this. But the difference is, I don't believe they shot it all at once. I think they broke it up and then put it together. So seeing this all done at once, and by the looks of the sweat at the start of the video, not just once, is incredible.
The actor is an accomplished musician, plays multiple instruments
@@Peter-dk4fz Dang, really? I didn't know that! Maybe I should have done my research before commenting, thanks for letting me know!

Metal music : “Am I a joke to you?”
*wild Gravity Blast appears*
I think there's a YT video where Joe Morello does a particular Take 5 solo with one-handed 16th notes. I recommend checking out his performances.
It's the Impossible Drum Solo. Joe was on fire during that solo. Word was Joe was very pissed at the Bassist. If you watch it, whey they finished trading 4's, Joe tries to go into his solo and the bassist refuses to stop....lol
Amazing‼︎ 作中と同じ様に汗をかいている所が良い！👍
And then JK Simmons walks in and throws a chair at his head. "Not my fucking tempo!"
And then I throw a cymbal at your head for stealing the words right out of my mouth… 😂👌 spot on
@Oscar Llerena yeah, I can’t believe someone would think of that.. like wtf dude
Not gonna lie, as someone who knows NOTHING about playing drums, when I watched this movie I assumed that this was an impossible drum piece to play for the sake of making a dramatic and crazy movie.... insane to see that someone can actually do it.
there are amazing people out there
There are thousands of drummers talented enough to play to this speed and precision
tony williams has some performances of similar intensity. i might as well throw rashied ali in in terms of unbridled insanity on the drum kit
If this really impresses you (it should) do some googling and find other good jazz drummers. There's a lot of crazy solos like this. You should pick up the drums too. Hella fun my dude!
Rush E for drums
You didn’t knock over a symbol and have J.K. Simmons pick it up for you…that is my only critique. Well done.

@@spitgorge2021 😭😭😭
I actually laughed out loud when I read that- thank you! I've been drumming for over 35 years, and I wouldn't even TRY to play this for real- but in your scenario? I'm in lol!
Not quite my tempo
Kinda sounds the same right now... drum sticks just flying in random directions
Rn I’m learning this drum piece and I can confirm this is the HARDEST drum piece ever. I’ve only ever seen one person do this and that’s my drum drum teacher and he’s been drumming for 20+ years. It’s amazing that you can do this. Best drummer I’ve seen on TH-cam. Keep up the great work 🥁
Listen to Gong-Master Builder with classically trained drummer Pierre Moerlen. I wish you luck trying to cover that song. ;)

SO YOU DO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
The fact that he didn't drop the plate means that he performed the solo better than the original
This is arguably the greatest drumming I’ve seen in a longe time
Yep i agree, that takes special talent.
it's fine, but you got to get out more if this is the "best" you've seen. You ain't looking very hard.
Check this other dude too:
th-cam.com/video/8JwddFAxYM4/w-d-xo.html
@@morbidmanmusic yeah I mean there's no question this takes serious chops but like... its not very musical. Lots of much better drum solos out there that are not only technically impressive, but actually sound good too.
Antonio Sanchez would be super proud of this.
I would imagine a jazz trained drummer for sure. His technique is so tight and solid and the effortless awareness of tempo change
nah I think he just plays the drums for fun.
You should see him break down and display Buddy Rich chops. And he makes it look easy!
I always thought the cut to Paul Reiser was the best part of that ending. The look on his face seems to say that he doesn’t recognize the person performing as his son anymore, rather a Monster of determination. He doesn’t look proud, he looks terrified at the depth of his sons talent.
Thats nice to put it.
Although he absolutely loves his son, he doesnt have anything for his sons drumming passion.
When I saw his reaction in this scene, I thought its the first time the dad actually realized WHAT and HOW his son is doing what hes doing.
I always got that "Yea, my son is playing an instrument, he plays the drums, he hammers sticks onto some drums." vibe from him. He never realized on what a level his son is playing the drums.
I listen to metal among other music, and metal songs with nice drums already made me go: "OMG it doesnt get better than this.". I wasnt even AWARE playing the drums playing Jazz can make you sweat so much - let alone Jazz can have such incredible drums which make metal drums seem pathetic.
I think this applies to the dad the most.
When youve never seen someone playing the drums like that, especially when its your own kid playing and you just had "ordinary" drumming in mind, it can leave you stunned.
"terrorified at the depth of his son's talent" damn well put! Never really saw it that way til now. Brings a new meaning with the smile he shares with JK's character at the end. They are both depraved in their quest for perfection
100%. Could've easily been a prototypical Hollywood corny father/son moment cutaway, but it was so much more than that.
"...I didn't know...I didn't know. "
Er... Sorry, but no. He wasn't "terrified."
He felt guilty that he had belittled his son, ignored his talent, and looked down on him for his passion. And, he does look proud to me. His eyes have opened to the massive talent that his son possesses. Paul Reiser managed to convey a very complex emotion there... I'm really not sure how you got "terror" from it though.
me arrepiei aqui, caravan realmente é uma prova de fogo.
Im not even a drummer , just stoped by to admire the talent.
Nicely done sir
I've never played an instrument in my life, so I thought the movie was just exaggerating about how hard that drum solo was.
Seeing him play, I fully believe that this shit is not meant for the weak.
drums are very physical, there is a reason drummers are always pouring sweat lol
The acid in your muscle build up and the burn is real. All at the same time remembering the count and keeping tempo
As a horn player , I can say you definitely put yourself into the music; I have sweated through a lot of suits after performances. But you get a rush after a good performance too.
The ability to play most of this one one drum at that tempo is pretty hard and takes practice and chops, but the whole solo with sticking and tempo is insane
I'd say that what is harder than playing this solo is to actually replicate this solo perfectly. The solo itself is very all over the place, and rightfully so, it fits the scene and everything, and that makes it just so much harder to copy perfectly! So kudos to the guy in the video here! 👏
The technicality, flawlessness of performance and precision of tempo changes are the most astounding aspects. However, the physicality and stamina required to perform this in one take is also quite incredible!
Not flawless, but really seriously good. The technicality is definitely there, which is probably the rarest pre-requisite on this anyways. But the stamina is not, and his precision / dynamics suffer later for it. The most obligatory examples are found in Extreme Metal sub-genres where the speed and stamina required are even at a higher level than this. Obviously it's hard to have it all. Pushing yourself at these levels on drums is something a lot of people will never comprehend in the first place. This movie definitely strikes a chord for me every time I see it though, and it captures a lot of that madness in pursuit of something great. Which I absolutely admire about Greyson's drumming.
@@innerpull bro are you okay?
@@innerpull Yeah, came here to say the same. There's moments where the guy hits the rim and whatnot. His dynamics are on point at the start, and drop off at the end.
He's still a better drummer than I'll likely ever be xD
It’s honestly crazy how he can hit every note, on time, all with proper technique
Esos cuatro minutos fueron eternos, impresionante
Imagínate para el como de eternos deben ser
Y en todo ese tiempo ir subdividiendo todo en corcheas, semicorcheas, fusas etc, interpretándolo en la realidad audible mediante la batería, resultado; Obra maestra
Son eternos si no lo disfrutas.
The adversity that someone must overcome to play something like this is just next level toughness and grit. Besides physical adversity, fast twitch muscle control, muscle memory, muscle confusion, mental fatigue and emotional stresses from overcoming these parameters. Cheers mate, youre an absolute chad for this one no doubt!
The greatest part (and arguably the most important) is the fact that it's nothing for people who have a love and passion for this kind of thing. I'm a singer myself and people are amazed at what I can do with my vocals but it's nothing to me. High notes, low notes Usher, Chris brown Tilian Pearson,easy peezy! 🤣
@@antoinecoleman5110 okay cool story, y waiting on a cookie?!? this song is actually one of the hardest to learn and to play so its not just about being a talented musician i am a guitarist, vocalist and drummer. for the last 15 years i play drums still can only play parts of this song. idk why people must take a compliment away from others. my comment was for the video poster, not for your ignorant 2 cents dumbass.
This is eaaaasely the most impressing shit I’ve ever laid my eyes on, holy crap my brother you a master! You could die in peace knowing you accomplished and master something to perfection
I play guitar bass and piano, but recently made the choice to try and learn drums, and holy fuck are drummers a different breed. It’s probably the most physically and mentally demanding instrument. The amount of practice and time this guy has dedicated to his craft is unreal, I aspire to play like he does some day
Wow! This was mesmerizing! You deserve your flowers!!! 🙌🏾 🌹 🌹🙌🏾
So generous of you.
Wow, he should be thankful
🌸🌺🌼
Whats the point of this video? The speed of playing? I never play drum before but im just wondering no offense...
@@sompannhavuth2602 And why are you asking us? He repeated very difficult improvisation from the movie. Drumming is actually really hard when it comes down to weird timings. You don't need to play drums to understand that it's difficult slap the table with both hands while each hand is playing it's own tempo.
i've watched it like 25 times, and he always plays it exactly the same amazing!
Best Comment😊
OMG..Are you insane? WTF ..what do you EXPECT???
I think even someone who can’t hear this can appreciate this just by seeing the pure determination on his face along with my man looking like he came back from a swim. But you truly appreciate it when you hear how good this actually is. This is that near-perfection stuff where you actually question if you can do any better in any way. Amazing job.
I mean it is technically impressive, but it sounds like a mess in some parts
Yes.
I seriously cried while watching this video ....so respect for you!!
The sweat drop off the nose at 2:56 really says a lot.
Fantastic, my guy.
Watching this in the cinema was one of most satisfying and enjoyable moving ending I’d ever seen.
Seeing someone play the entire thing in REAL time, is has left me absolutely dumbfounded. What a remarkable talent and true joy.
What I love about pieces like this… I’m no pro, but when I’m in the zone and jamming with the band, and everyone is watching you, your body and fingers actually have heat from your muscle fibers vibrating so fast and so long, and it keeps going, how long can we sustain life into this musical moment, one mistake can break this wave you’ve created, built and are now riding. No amount of pain will allow you to stop until it is time to stop, and when you’re done, you look down at your instrument and it’s speckled with a bit of blood, you didn’t feel the cut, because nothing in that moment can pull you away from that zone of bliss and perfection you shared with your band mates, even if there are only 10 people in the room it doesn’t matter, it echos across time. I love it.
cocaine’s a hell of a drug
@@SonikJesus yeah dude like it ain't that deep
Do shut up
lets be honest, there have never been 10 people to listen to your band..
I experience something similar while playing tennis. Once you're in the zone.. it's just pure Bliss and instinct
Te amo, estoy empezando con la bateria y admiro mucho tu esfuerzo y trabajo
I wonder what it would take this nail this down to absolute and total perfection. Bro was going ballistic in the best way possible, huge respect.
Most people probably could never play this.

Probably because it was pretty mediocre, no offense.
Wow man, that was absolutely incredible. I don’t know how many times I watched this movie in high school and after and have wanted to see this solo actually done. Thank you!!
Ngl it really is impressive that andrew neiman (I don't remember if that's the spelling of his surname) managed to play sooo good, but he lost the one thing important in being a musician, the enjoyment he was so obsessed with his craft that it turned him into a monster who fell victim from a dark man who took that feeling of enjoyment that all Musicians feel for music and the instruments they play.
But the end product, absolute beast. Worthy sacrifice? That's what the movie is asking imo
That's a sweet lie for the mediocre. Any kind of art is for enjoyment, that's a vague and untrascendent purpose.
@@ManuelGonzalez-eh4wz vague is correct while making that comment I was actually thinking about the correct word when I said enjoyment, but nothing came to mind so I just went with that, which does sounds pretty gray.
That kinda reminds me of The Black Swan. They're both beautifully written cautionary tales of being so passionate about something and wanting to grow as an artist so much that your devotion to the craft becomes a harmful obsession.
I feel like that was an unintended part of the story resulting from bad/unrealistic writing. Because its not just Andrew but literally everyone in that movie who didn't seem to have any enjoyment in playing music, including the teacher. It's Hollywood's obsession with turning movies about art into what is necessarily a sports movie where people are ultra competitive and trying to achieve some sort of perfection, which doesn't really exist in the real world of music and performance arts.
So many parts of this movie is unrealistic, like the teacher expecting his students to have the pitch perfecting equivalent of tempo as in telling them BPMs and asking them to play at exactly that and getting angry at them for not being able to, literally no ensemble obsesses over whether the band is off by 2 BPM as long as everyone is in sync with each other.
If you really think about it, the premise and plot of this movie is as ridiculous as all those Step Up where street gangs do dance battles for bragging rights. Except the ridiculousness is masked by comparatively better acting talent and production.
What a MACHINE! And even more dramatic with the static shot.
That moment his dad looked at him, man, I almost got to cry...he was literally jaw dropping when he saw his genius son giving his best shot on the show, and also Fletcher fucking liking it to bits and somehow predicting Andrew's gonna end this great...what a genius movie!
I think his dad had more of a look of terror. Like my son is a possessed demon.
The dad was sad. He lost his son to the evil mentor. The whole movie was about the pitfalls of perfection and how you shouldn't drop family or friends for your goals. Then at the end he does. If you want more proof the director even says the character likely dies of a heroin overdose at 30.
@@patrickbateman1660 that's true but its also not as black and white as that. Is it wrong for him to throw his life away, to leave behind a legacy of being one of the greats? OR should he have just lived a normal boring life, ignoring his dream? The movie leaves it up to us to decide.
I didn't know the day would come when I saw him actually playing this.
This solo has always gave me chills.
This amazing for yet another reason: He's listening to the scene on TH-cam with ads. I can already picture a take when he's doing really well but youtube pops an ad out of nowhere and ruins the take
For those saying he has TH-cam Premium or he downloaded the video, check the red line on the video he's listening from. There're yellow ad marks
