    Matt, I just stumbled across this. Andres Forero, the drummer for Hamilton is my best friend and we've known each other since middle school. Amazing to see you committing the time to learn this. I've shared this him as well. Keep on sharing your passion. Also check out In The Heights, it was the first broadway show that Lin wrote, and Andres is the drummer on that as well with Alex as the MD. 96,000 if my favorite track on that show.

      Hi Goldunitdrums! Thank you for your kind words and sharing this with Andres! Your comment has made my day. In the Heights was the first Broadway show I ever saw back in 2008, and I have been a big fan of this creative team ever since (Lin/Alex/Andres). It is my goal to work along side them in some capacity one day. I love 96,000 as well, great track! All the best.

    Fabulous. Thanks for sharing. Lacamoire's arrangements are spectacular and it's a treat to see some of the percussion broken down. I raced right to Satisfied, not only because it's among my favorite compositions,, but because the drums are right up there with Renee Goldsberry in making is soar. Awesome.

    • @MongerOfStrings8222

  • @erika2585

    Mad skills. Mad meter. Herculean commitment learning all that detail by ear. That's super impressive, Matt. You're right about the snare drums. I had a peek in the Chicago pit and wow... there are a lot of snare drums in what I could see of the setup.

    in the fill after 13:45, you should play RRKRRKRRKR instead of RLKRLKRLKR. It doesn't sound any different, but it looks and feels so freaking cool! great cover though, nice!

    the grooves are so tightly crafted in pocket but at the same the kick patterns are advanced like in Schuyler Sisters- its not the usual 2-bar pattern alternating.. im still trying to learn the songs on drums. It’s good to see a video of a whole act from the sound track

  • @mattk7149
    @mattk7149 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Came across this searching for drumless tracks off the Hamilton soundtrack. You killed The Schuyler Sisters, Lin should have consulted you on this track, absolutely nasty. I know this was posted like 8 years ago, but I would love to hear you do covers without caring about the accuracy to the original. Thanks for posting!
