This was me literally every time the drummer took a solo in a fusion band I used to play bass for. I just hoped the guitarist followed and we all came in at the same time. I also called that "guessing".
This is a really cool exercise. I would actually find it easier to keep my groove when the drummer plays something crazy wrong. It'd be MUCH tougher to lay off some of those cool Stuart Copeland off beats!
It’s like a drawn out argument with my wife those moments where we sync up are made all the more special and fantastic by the long periods confusion and struggle
I would argue that Cory was correct in following the tempo. Petar was changing rhythm and time signature to try and mess with him, but tempo shouldn’t count because it inherently affects the time between notes. If Petar sped up and Cory didn’t follow, then suddenly Cory would be the one playing a different rhythm, not Petar!
Man, this drummer is an amazing master at highlighting the syllables of the other instrument (in this case the bass). It really brings the magic out of the music, for every section of that overly simplistic bass line he was able to really compliment it and make it a worthy sounding lick with the utilization of so many different variations. His tempo, speed, syncopation, colorful highlights and just his overall fitting of the drums around the sound is impeccable. Also, even though the bass line wasn't that great I am impressed with the bass guy able to keep almost perfect timing, he did go slightly off sometimes but that is to be expected with such dramatic changes in tempo/speed etc... Very impressive matey!
I know the bass player is playing something incredibly simple here, but staying in time playing something that slow with the beat shifting that much is incredibly difficult. Bass player deserves more credit :D
Coming from a jazz background helps you know that the roles in the rhythm section are CLEARLY defined: -Bass controls the TEMPO -Drums control the STYLE
Playing a lot of sub-divisions that align with the bass notes makes this a bit easier, in my experience. I think it's harder when there is a lot of syncopation or polyrhythmic stuff with a lot of space. When I played jazz, I lost the form on drum solos a lot. Focus is important. They did a great job here!
The control to not over play and give into the 16ths is incredible. Putting that much space in the groove is so hard.
I know right? Seeing this video, I knew myself would fall into temptation and mess everything up
The drummer's equivalent of "intrusive thoughts" is trying to NOT to overplay lol
Did you watch? Im deaf from 1st sec👎🙉🤦😡💩🤮
Thank you for giving me this wisdom today
Moral of the story, Cory is an excellent babysitter of the groove.
You can't hold no groove if you aint got no pocket.
Cory leveraging extensive "finish an email on his phone while multiple kids are hanging off his limbs" experience here.
Haha!! Brilliant comment.
😅
Really sweet drumming. Shows how can musically manipulate time when you have a bass player who can consistently provide a pulse.
Love this. It really showcases how a change in the drums can make the whole thing have motion even with a steady bassline.
The drummer does this to me all the time, but not on purpose.
😂
And long as you can still follow
you can have a daw in your phone in 2023 but people still can't use a simple metronome
hahahahaha

I think most people would say they were guessing if they were bein honest, regardless of style! lol
"We all came at the same time"
At this point its on feeling lol
@@thesolersystemofgames841 "we all came in at the same time. 'at the same time' is the nickname of our sound guy"
I had no idea this drummer was this good. Wow.
petar is crazy nice. he just has the discipline to not overplay
Victor Wooten was very complimentary of Petar on the shared tour.
I wish I had his discipline@@efafe4972
He didn’t seem to keep time very well…😂
That was the point lol. To try and throw cory off but he didn't@@symetryrtemys2101
Keeps going even when his cymbal stand fails. What a pro
Why would you stop?
I agree but at the same time it’s not like he had the one cymbal
I am a bass player, and my brain just broke.
I’m a drummer and MY brain just broke!!😅😅
@musicman2705 that doesnt say much
U guys are using brain!?
I’m a guitar player, check out this crazy new pedal I got. So good!
@@mrcarpentertoyou As a public service this comment should be more visible.
I cant help but smile when i see these two together. Great jam!
What the what?!?!? The spelunky man himself is here?!?! This guy helped me get cosmic 99 ^^
Hahaha its a small world after all! You have good taste in music. Cheers! @@dadtier564
As a drummer and bassist, this might be my favorite video in existence
In my mind, I imagined this a million times. This is better than I could've imagined. So amazing.
As a musician, this is both amazing and hilarious 😂
I don't know who I'm more impressed with, Petar or Cory 😍 We need more jam videos like this!
This is a really cool exercise. I would actually find it easier to keep my groove when the drummer plays something crazy wrong.
It'd be MUCH tougher to lay off some of those cool Stuart Copeland off beats!
Ok, this grooved so hard i had a stank face almost the entire time
The brilliance of Petar Janjic exemplified.
It's always completely inspiring for me to hear this chemistry.
Petar isn't just a great drummer, he's a GREAT showman!!! 🙏
Cory and Petar are two of my favorite people period.
It’s like a drawn out argument with my wife those moments where we sync up are made all the more special and fantastic by the long periods confusion and struggle
Best comment here.
I think he got you a couple of times... when he locked in with you then sped the tempo you followed a little
Yeah that so sneaky of Petar, I don't how Cory managed that so well haha
I would argue that Cory was correct in following the tempo. Petar was changing rhythm and time signature to try and mess with him, but tempo shouldn’t count because it inherently affects the time between notes. If Petar sped up and Cory didn’t follow, then suddenly Cory would be the one playing a different rhythm, not Petar!
even the cymbal couldn’t handle it
It would be awesome if Petar's drum track is accessible then we could try it and make a fool out of ourselves
It's a pleasure for a drummer test his bass player...

1:45 Jesus, that's where I would ultimatively be lost...
This is just pure musical joy. Time can be divided in oh so many ways.
Internal time is so important! Two absolute legends.
Also, Cory, that is a DOPE Gaucho shirt. Where’d you get it?
I’m seconding this question and also hazarding a guess that it was Double Wonderful
1:26 is BRUTAL. Moving the 1 just a beat off would make any mortal change up
I dont see a bassist; i just see two drummers.
whats hilarious is that this is 1000x times more difficult and interesting than anything that plays on radio and people consider "music"
The power of the head bob is real
Fun to sing along Corys bass. The triplets got me!
This was awesome!!!!!! I'm a drummer. Who's this drummer. Bass player internal time and focus was absolutely fantastic.
That was special! As a drummer for 50 years.
Standard day in the modern jazz world
as far as i'm concerned this is every drummer ever
whahaha from the first few bars I knew this would be hilarious! Congrats for staying your ground Cory!
Petar is a treasure and this is amazing 😄
You can tell that guy is a PHD drummer!
What’s that style of drumming called at 2:00
I here it all the time but I don’t know what it’s called
This makes me happy!
Threw off that cymbal pretty well.
I like how the symbols have French bread on them.
Coming from a jazz background helps you know that the roles in the rhythm section are CLEARLY defined:
-Bass controls the TEMPO
-Drums control the STYLE
53 seconds: The cymbal was so impressed with the pocket that it fainted.
Ahh yes a video of what guitar players hear when they are trying to tune.
1:07 What kind of metric modulation is that?
The most hilarious moment was @1:01 when he came out of the craziness playing off-beats on the hats! 😁
The drama i deal playing bass with drummers every single day.
Over here on my couch eating a bowl of pasta, reacting more audibly than I would any tv show or movie lmao
This man has baguettes on his cymbals
This got a great meme potential ❤
Now that’s the drummer every band wants but hates at the same time 😂
Is there a genre of music like this? This gets me hyped! Steady groove with creative drumming. Is that drum and bass?
Its like watching two talented siblings who are constantly trying to mess with the other / screw up their jam
Great playing. 👍🏻 😃
just being a left handed drummer is enough lol
Cory "The Human Metronome" Wong!
Well done!
I loved it!
Brilliant! I used to do it all the time with my drummers....golden late 90s fusion times, haha. Btw excellent musicianship & sense o humour.
This was way funnier than I expected, great job!
Beautiful study in multi rhythm.
... but he didn't succeed, right 😂😂😂 ? Nice to see you both sharing the pleasure of playing together 🎸🥁🤩 !!! 🙏🏻☮
This was fun to watch! Nice polies and displacing!
insanely good drummer
You guys are just such monster players LOL
We all live for when the groove comes home at 1:16
Petar is an absolute treasure and should be guarded at all costs.
This is what happens inside the calculator when it’s calculating
Idk why I laughed so hard when the cymbal stand gave way but i did
Can't wipe the smile off my face! 😄
Gr8 fun...gr8 energy! What's not to love!
This makes me so anxious listening to it. I’m cringing and laughing at the same time.
Genuinely enjoyed this jam. The rhythm play was immaculate.
Oh I love this game. In school we called it "F*ck your couch"
Petar threw some tough chipotles at you! Well done Cory!
Love it :) Great concept!
That drum sound mix is so good - any way you guys can share the approach to get the kit to sound like that?
more overhead mics
That drum set sounds amazing.. 😳
Reminded me of "Indiscipline" by King Crimson, haha. Great stuff
This bends my mind in all the right ways. Is there a genre for this?
My whole life playing drums I’ve been searching for a bass player like this. All I ever turn up with is kids playing with knives
Sounds like every practice with my old band😂🍻
Lefty drummer through me off in the first 30 seconds 😱
Those cymbals sound amazing
Playing a lot of sub-divisions that align with the bass notes makes this a bit easier, in my experience. I think it's harder when there is a lot of syncopation or polyrhythmic stuff with a lot of space. When I played jazz, I lost the form on drum solos a lot. Focus is important. They did a great job here!
That's why when I was a drummer I never took solos. Except I would throw everyone off unintentionally, because I wasn't a very good drummer.
The difference between 'playing with' and 'listening too', other band members !
train the brain by playing an accelerating rhythm that then goes into a half tempo version
Never seen anything like this. Delicious.
I wish that I knew enough about music to understand this video man
alternate title: drummer tries to escape pocket
This is great. What a fun exercise.
I’m not even a music guy and this felt like I was getting edged
Petar and the Janjicnotes: Fallen Cymbal edition
this is peak chaotic Stratton-speak CONTENT
Maybe you should play for living, you’re good 🤣 Thanks guys, a really fun one 🙏
This is like every rock band in the 90's at the local bar 2am on the last few songs🤘. Those old good times.
