Hello there!
It’s finally here, my drum playthrough of our latest release ‘24 Light-Years’ from our upcoming album ‘Witness’!
This song has a quite intense stack-groove which I think some of you might find interesting. It’s a strong contrast against the soft and open vibe of the song.
What makes this groove so special to me is the fact that it’s an idea that I developed a few years ago, and it was turned into a VOLA song afterwards. If you dig deep enough on my socials, you might find an old clip of this specific groove 😇
I hope you’ll enjoy this playthrough! Let me know what you think!
Best wishes,
Adam Janzi
You’re a master.
Brother! The skill! The timing! The absolute energy! I love the way you carry the beat with ghost notes and your dry cymbals make me wanna cry they sound so good! Adam, you’re a freaking genius and make me wanna play the drums better.
This is a Beautiful groove Adam! The way the drums contrast with the very soft beginning makes this special. Love the hi-hats and the ghost notes! So tastefully done!
Cheers!
Dustin W
man, this is one of the best drumlines for a soft song ive ever heard its absolutely mindblowing and i appreciate the creativity you had to create it and then to even take it. i am in a band too and everybody creates cool stuff but as its usual in a band we dont take every single idea from each member everytime cause it just doesnt work for a song sometimes (wich is totally normal) im just glad that your bandmates felt that groovy drumline for this song too and nobody was like "naah thats a cool drumline! ..but for a differnt song maybe" you know what i mean haha :)
Absolute class! Love your style of playing, your beats and your sound. Inspiring!
My new favorite Djazz drummer.
Gavin Harrison said in some video, that in a band it's everybodys job to keep the time. It's the drummers job to make the time interesting.
This is what it means. What a creative beat!
Even the beats after that intro one are awesome. he just has great feel, and the drum tone is perfect
I love that he seems to enjoy it as if it was his first time playing drums.
Just look at his face. What a wonderful human being. Thank you for using your hard work and talent for this gift to us :)
EASILY, by far, buy ALOT Adam Janzi is on the top of the best drummers list on the planet. Why this video does not have millions of views is criminal. Some of the garbage that passes for music that gets millions of views is also criminal. This generation is doomed.
I really enjoy watching this fella playing, thanks mate.
One of my new favorite drummers
As of today Shia Labeouf is my favorite drummer
This comment can't be upvoted enough.
Bruh 😂
I thought the same HAHAHAHAHA
youre gonna like Alex Bent of Trivium
LOL o though the same
Beautiful song , excelent drummer !!!
This man is such a joy to watch ❤️
Texturing with cymbals and ghost notes is stellar. The groove is evident and intact, and works. It would be busy and inappropriate if AJ countered the riff or was not syncopated....such a strong rhythmic presence...my new favorite metal drummer next to Zev from Spirit Box....this is the new generation of metal...thank you!
This has such a creative and interesting groove! I hope to hear more where you start with the drum concept and build the rest of the song around it.
These dudes are so talented.
So are you:)
I hate this for the pure fact that even with video I can't tell what Adam's doing in that groove 😂
Haha;)
Me neither! This definitely deserves a lesson video.
For real! Need a camera on those feet too!
Well I guess it depends on where you feel the beat. It feels like 32nd notes within a slow quarter pulse, however, I transcribed it as 16th notes in 4/2 time. :) Really excited to cover this song! Phenomenal writing Mr. Janzi!
He put out a video teaching the groove in slowmo!
From now on i will send this to everyone that says drums are just noise. Absolutely beautiful phrasings!
Your hanging with the wrong crowd if your hearing that ! ;)
Oh they're just noise.
The noise that's keeping whatever the hell they're listening to afloat usually 😂
They didn't know and just talking without to listen...
The drums on this track are just incredible and it is so wholesome to see someone who is so obviously in love with their art and craft. The groove takes hold of you man and never let’s go.
Very well said, couldn't agree more!
This is the song that got me into Vola!
this is such a well written song on drums
it's full of stuff, but not busy, it just goes well with the echoing theme of the song, and is so so so groovy. and during the chorus is opens up but hits even harder
this song makes me tear up sometimes because of its theme, it's lyrics, but I'll always love it's amazing drums.
going through a big vola phase rn and this is still so true
I found a lot more songs to like but this song is something truly special.
The open hi hats over that ostinato at 1:55 make me barf pure joy
I love everything about this.
This song is beautiful!
And the fact that Adam’s playing is also emotional focused, it’s just pure magic.
Made my drummer listen to this. He said it was too busy so I threw him into traffic. Now I need a new drummer. Anyways, great stuff man! Much love from Minnesota!
I'm from Iowa, if you need a new drummer 😝
Was it because he couldn't figure out how to play the first beat? lol
Seriously though, it's busy, but never overshadows the song. Complex, but not just for the sake of it.
Sounds like he plays drums but isn’t a drummer.
He plays what? Avril songs?
@@thedeadkeepitmetalcoversthat’s what’s incredible about this guy. It IS busy, but it’s subtle and incredibly effective. It’s often easy to miss until you start listening closer. His pockets have pockets.
Why this video don't have a million views wtf this is mental, great song, great drummer, great band. Long live VOLA
i always come to watch this whenever i'm feeling anxious it's somehow therapeutic.
Amazing Ideas, Amazing drummer, amazing band Vola!
I just looove the drums on this track. That was the first thing that really stood out to me. Amazing work, Adam!
So …. Much…… feel
I realized what makes the drums pop is the displacement of the snare off of the 3 throughout the beginning and then putting in back on the 3 at the break. It really adds to the break and brings the song together.
great balance between technical prog groove and emotionality.
Adam's expression and that playing with passion is just gold!
This is proof that the cymbals matter more than the drums in a kit. The variety of sound is so much greater with more cymbals
Adam is quickly becoming a legend. One of the greats. Keep moving forwards and the plaudits will follow!
Please keep doing these for all your songs. Thanks. I love you. That’s all. See ya. 🙂
AWESOME
AWESOME
AWESOME
LOVE IT
Honestly, your facial expressions while playing are amazing. It feels like you twitch to every specific beat in a very original way. You're totally feeling the song. Love it.
Also, as someone who just listened to the song for the first time, I did not expect that type of groove at the beginning. Very unique as well. Great job!
Amazing!!! much love from United States, Florida
I'd give anything if Peart could've seen this in his lifetime.. This performance is outstanding, Adam!
Oh man... Peart would have walked over and said "How'd you do that?"
This was the best thing I discovered ending 2022, gonna be binging this band for a while. 👌🏾
Adam looks so relaxed and happy playing this. Thank you for the music, all of you!
Adam has quickly become one of my favorite drummers in prog metal and in general. He's extremely fun to watch as you can see the passion in his performance and his creativity is through the roof.
Can't stop watching your play!!
What a great songwriting and also what a excellent drumming.
It's so incredibly awesome to see how he feels the music with his entire being, not just his body but his entire soul is vibing to it. If anyone ever asks you what "groove" or "feeling the music" looks like, show them this video.
First song I ever heard from VOLA and the drummers beat was the first thing that captivated me so deeply, such beautiful song
I have never seen a drummer looking so happy while doing what he is doing...fantastic guy, world-class drumming (to me, he's in a line with Martin Axenrot, Martin López, Mark Zonder, Gavin Harrison, Craig Blundell...) , brilliant song, great band....can't wait for the album....
Maybe you should watch a drum playthrough from shadow of intent's new drummer, he looks even happier! :D
Adam Janzi. Thank you for letting me see and hear something so amazing !!! what a talent you are .....
One of the most talented drummers of ProgMetal...
I am always impressed by his performance.
Cannot stop watching this. One of my favorite grooves in modern music. Thank you for your contribution to my happiness, Adam!!
You are amazing - wow! Drum beat is perfect, nothing more to say!
Thank TH-cam for the x0.75 option. Reminds me of The Contortionist's "Language" (the pulsating guitar, and I had to slow down there too to fully appreciate the drums work).
Great job!
Drums in the first half are absolutely amazing. the writing is superb and creative.
Beautiful, beautifiul drum lick ... hypnotic !!! Copngrats for this masterpiece.
this guy is amazing
This is what i wanted to see when the song came out 🔥
The drums on this song are magnificent!
This man is… ♥︎
Ive been waiting for this, the drums were amazing on the song
People should know how extreme difficult this drum rif this is in the first vers. Many can play but not with flow.
Genius
You recognize a passionate musician by his/her facial expressions. Living the song with every beat.
Mesmerizing!
using the left foot in those 32nd triplets is so butter, that groove is literally insane
People I am in love with: This guy
Musical talent and being truly in touch with the music are two very different things. This band proves that point to the max. Their music moves me, makes the soul feel the music before the ears even register it. Absolutely amazing
Most talented and tightest drummer in the world 🖤 The world will see this
We love VOLA. Thank you for your hard work, guys.
Such a sick groove! Something about this track lifts me up and your delivery of it is a huge part of that
So musical, so precise with such feeling... This is what I needed lately, glad I found this band and love this dudes playing.
Thank you for listening!
@@volaband the pleasure is all mine
That is the first song I'm listening to from them and I feel like I have SO much catching up to do with the rest of their stuff?! SO mad, that I only discovered them now :'D This is incredible!!
Thank you for listening:)
Listen to these black claws next....... then give up on music..... VOLA has it taken care of...
Wow!! I love the finesse and note delineation, brilliant job sir ;)
The creativity is truly mind blowing. I don’t know what it is, but it’s just so refreshing to hear his approach. Bravo!
Since the song came out I wanted to see this, it's just unbelievable.
Wow, amazing playing. This is insane song to play! Thank you for this masterpiece.
We are not worthy!! Fantastic work!
I just discovered you guys and I must confess that Adam looks like a loving father that cares for all his children that are his snare, toms, cymbals and kick.
The sensitivity and elegance of it
You know a beat fits the song when you couldn't think of anything better to play over it, well done adam
Sweeeet babeh Jaysus that is awesome. Pocketastic, groovey AF, crazy technical and Powerfully EPIC.
Some of the most creative and unique writing for one of the most mellow and open (as you said) songs I’ve ever heard. Phenomenal work!
everything about this bridge is euphoric
That groove that starts on "I can leave this town? But I won't"? Is so damn good! How he gets back into it after the break damn.
insanity. watching that intense intro groove played is hypnotizing. this song is just next level
Just relaxed and throwing it down. Solid
When someone programs an impossible midi drum track and challenges you to play it.
🙏🙌🙏
I regret that I can only give this a single thumbs up. It really deserves 1,000 times the views and upvotes. Such a fantastic groove by Adam, and another great album overall.
If that track was any sweeter, I'd have diabetes.
LOL
Cant wait for the creator pack for this track drops on bandcamp 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Super clean drummin as well 🤘
This dude is a subtle destroyer
Hey Adam! I just watched Asger play Head Mounted Sideways and saw the joy on his face and now the joy on yours; that makes me so happy! Cheers!
Great song and great drumming, Mr Janzi. So wonderful to see a drummer enjoying the song while playing
A Fable! You are best drummer that i hear in this moment!❤️🤟
Awesome
Awesome drum pattern Adam. Killer!
Been with you guys a few years and this is by far my favorite song from you guys. Easily top 10 songs of all time.
I could never. Impressive drumming mate 👏
Cant wait until I recieve my merchpackage with both vinyls and all of the other stuff. Whats interesting is that I knew of both Adam and VOLA a long while before Adam joined VOLA. They compliment eachother so well! Like ketchup to my sausage
Absolutely great drummer, creative way for playing, it's wonderful song that's never make you feel boring, I love this again and again. Fantastic song!
Mr. Janzi you are an absolute gem of a musician and drummer
This is some really refreshing playing - can't wait for the new album!
I dive deeper and deeper into this beauty...🤘
Absolutely in love with the drumming in this song
Shivering down my spine 🤩
