Your so right! Actually, every music artist reaching the pillars of success should be "forced" to do at least a bit of teaching throughout their life. Maybe where they grew up. Just as a way of giving back to the community, since we all have been throwing our millions at them
@@udkc if you want to skip ahead of waiting for that to happen you can just analyze his songs yourself and learn a lot. Maybe not all his production secrets and private flairs but that's not going to teach you the mindset to do that stuff yourself anyways, or why his music is so good in the first place
I believe i agree with you, but I don't think I really know what you mean by "talking like a teacher" vs "talking like a student". Is informative speech not just informative speech?
@@aidenwoulffe3704 I think it's the fact he doesn't act like he knows it all inside and out like many teachers do. He's spreading his knowledge but also explaining what he doesn't understand and showing that he's still always learning himself
You can tell he has spent alot of time listening, analyzing, thinking about, recording, reading, etc. these tracks. It's the only way to gain this depth of knowledge.
Best thing to come out of the Covid era is Kev doing more interviews about him as a drummer. It’s always been my favorite part about ol’ Tame Empanada.
Honestly I don't recall watching an interview with him where he sounds so into it, it's almost weird. Now I just want him to talk about producing, pedals, mixing etc. instead of all the redundant questions
@@gomezbr1 I think it's cause he actually gets to talk about the technique of the music here rather then having to talk on a more surface level to cater to a larger audience like BBC or somethin'
Because the music and the production is all he spends his time thinking about, so tapping into that is tapping into who he is. Asking about anything else, you might as well be asking what he had for lunch.
Kevin's drumming on "Innerspeaker" is some of the best I have heard on any record. He really knew how to roll around the kit with some great fills on that record.
I agree, Innerspeaker has the best and most instrument playing all around. He has slowly morphed more into a sample producer, which is still just as cool and good!
@@TsarCzar9 fr man if Currents didn't exist Innerspeaker would still prolly be my fav album by Tame. Yet Currents wouldn't have existed without Innerspeaker. Also I loved TSR ♥️
Ok but the drums on "Lost in Yesterday" are just immaculate man. You gotta give yourself some credit for those Kevin. They're so perfectly saturated, compressed, and crispy while also so delicately sprinkled with the phaser and it just 😩🙌
This is my first time hearing this guy talk, and he seems like such a chill dude. Like an average guy, one of your friends. I don't now, the way people have been over mistifying his music made me expect some music snob, but it's just s guy who loves music. He's cool.
Yeah he’s just a regular dude. and whats so crazy, is he’s good. He really is VERY good. But he gets deified by people and that is almost never warranted.
He's one of the best pop drummers of these times. He's sound is so unique. Having him in the studio playing and mixing the drums must be the must cool thing ever. Thanks for this content, is just gold
love how in every single one of those songs he mentioned you can almost hear the heavy influence each one of those songs has had into tame impalas sounds, it just sounds orgnanic like you can feel the influence of the song on all his music.
This is the most excited I’ve seen Kevin be. You can really tell how happy he is talking about the music that influences him, his eyes basically glimmer. This was fun to watch and even informative.
I've always felt like the drums in his songs stood out more prominently than other instruments (synths, guitars). Like in Innerspeaker/Lonerism, the drums sound out of this world, especially when mixed with that Lennon-esque voice.
Yes, wow I jam so hard to the drums in Alter Ego, WWYMUYM, I mean basically every song in both of those albums! Kevin was crazy phenomenal with those two albums! Truly psychedelic.
Because Kevin plays guitar and sings in live settings, I think people are quick to forget that drums are his first instrument. Mudmen by Pink Floyd and Weird Fishes by Radiohead, and actually Kevin's drumming on "One More Hour" are probably my top three drum sounds ever.
I love these kinds of interviews where Kevin goes into the technicalities. It makes you take a glimpse of his genius mind and how the creative process is done in his head
Having both a science and a music background, I really appreciated how he brought physics into the drum sounds @ 9:30 discussing the waveforms. "Oh, so that's why the sound sounds the way it does!"
When "It Might Be Time" first dropped as a single, Kevin posted on his instagram saying it took him a whole year to perfect the drums on that song lmao
The secret to that amazing drum sound on that Queens of the Stone Age record is the producer Eric Valentine. He is the absolute king of drum sounds. My favorite example of his signature “punch in the gut” drum sound is Can’t Stop by Maroon 5. He knows how to get the drums to explode out of the speakers without taking it too far. What’s awesome is Eric even has his own TH-cam channel where he explains in detail how he gets his sounds. I highly recommend watching his channel to anyone interested in music production.
I thought that this video was cool hearing all these different drum sounds. Then he picked a Portishead song and it was taken to another level of cool.
@@zapata9617 he’s referring to the repetitive nature of the music sounding electronic. Not just extracting the drum beat and looping/sampling it. If you hear a James Brown track you can hear how it’s sampled and used but it doesn’t sound like a breakbeat. It’s a funk song. The silver apples track sounds like it could be a contemporary electronic song. I don’t think he was trying to claim they were the first drums to play like that but rather so consistent and repetitive. And he’s completely right it’s a quality of the song.
@@freelance_commie Thanks, the reason I thought he was referring to breakbeats is because the drum track does sound like it could be a sampled breakbeat. The breakbeat is a drum break in a funk song. Because it is isolated they ended up being sampled a lot. The beat he is showing does sound like it could be a breakbeat that was sampled so that's where all the confusion is, because it seems like he is saying it was pre-breakbeats
This video should be treasured in the archives for future educational purposes, his brain and sense of sound never fails to astound me, which is why I proclaim him to be my favourite artist of all time!
His drums on the 070 Shake "Guilty Conscience" remix are AMAZING. You can totally hear a lot of the elements he mentioned here like compression, saturation, and crazy drum fills.
Glad to hear him mention Dave Friedman...he is an amazing producer and engineer but back in his day he was always SUCH an amazing bassplayer...very very creative!
Always loved the drums. Didn't have the patience to go deep, but hearing Kevin inspires me to learn more about the rhythms of his and others songs. Keeping the beat and harmony.
It was actually Gene Trautmann who came up with the drums for Go With The Flow, and I believe it's him who's playing in the recording. He also played on Millionaire, but the rest of the songs are played by Grohl.
As a guitar player, percussion to me is the most important and fundamental part of music. If you you don’t have a good drum beat in the back ain’t no asses gonna be shakin.
Still waiting for him to come back to the innerspraker and lonerism psych rock. Not that the new stuff isn’t good, but really? Those two records are still in my rotation.
i really liked him talking about the drums having motifs at 12:35. makes me think about how really good drummers make "riffs" as much as the other instruments do
He's definitely chirpier than usual in this one, guess it's because of the drums. 🙌🏼 All your songs are more than good enough. Thank you for existing, Kev. ❤️

first tame impala album has one of my favourite drum sounds (and some of my favourite drumming). i realise this makes me an old fuddy-duddy but i wish he'd do more in that style, he's so great at it.
12:06 Dave Grohl played drums on most of the album, but not on 'Go with the flow', that was Gene Trautmann. But other than that, he's right, it's one of the best drum tracks ever and Dave Grohl is a beast
Okay now I want him to talk about synths
big same

Or guitars
BIG SAME
That would be too powerful
He would be the coolest music teacher

The drums in Mind Mischief are so eccentric. Love that one--mostly just a fill repeated over and over.
same, one of his best songs
and a complicated fill at that!
id say that song has some of the best drum fills ever.
A lot of rolls also
When I hear Mind Mischief I hear a passionate emulation of Lennon-McCartney 1967.
I’m surprised he didn’t play a new version of Borderline
the drums are so good in that

His album Innerspeaker has such amazing drums. Every song hits the spot. SO TIGHT
Yeah I know right, especially Alter Ego has a unique pattern
Solitude is bliss oh my god
yep. Kevin & Jay played some amazing drums on that album.
Kevin's one of the most humble musicians I've seen in a long time
You can tell Kevin is a great drummer by how he can imitate bonhams quick bass drum double kick hits with his mouth 3:15
This is an underrated comment

You guys are legendary to finally have kevin do this.
glad that pitchfork got a very obscure artist to show what he does on their channel, hope he gets big!
Just for the record that’s Clive Deamer on the portishead track, he plays on most of the tracks on that record. He’s an incredible drummer with amazing technique and feel and that makes up for a lot of the drum sound on that record. It’s one of the reasons Radiohead took him on
Pocket is to time what dynamics is to volume- the awareness of tempo, and the inclination to push and pull it accordingly.
“When you feel like you can’t rely on the drums your like “I’ll probably just go sit down”” hahahahahh
Great selection of songs! The amazing thing is that I'm 54 and of course I don't know many post 90's songs, and I still know everything he's proposing.
