    "...but I just play the drums, that's it, I just hit this, I play musical, I play drums"..... So great, so humble, what Greyson says makes a lot of sense.... This guy is so good!

    Absolute best thing he says is … throw out the names and just play the drums.

      It is proof, in my experience. Every show I've played and put over-thinking to the side, was always a fluid set. Have fun and explore when you have some free time alone.

    Having seen Buddy Rich in person, I think i can safely say that you are an incredible talent and the closest drummer to Buddy I have ever seen. Keep up the great work!

    Drums can be mesmerizing, & it’s fun & cool to watch the guys who can shred.

  • @twinvader_
    @twinvader_ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    So insightful for any musician let alone (especially) drummers, feeling out what feels right > prescribed fundaments or forms.
    I can see immediately the relaxation/overall distribution of tension in the hand/wrist in your technique Vs. “wristing” it, and you can see the benefits of this. In singing, I can get caught up on placement and form which distracts from what feels right also, so it’s a great reminder to strike the right balance and not close off possibilities that feel good for your person/instrument in the song/performance. Very inspiring, thanks for the wisdom!

    "The biggest thing to learn from this - don't overthink it. I've never been the person who's like 'oh I'm using Moeller, oh I'm using fingers, oh I'm using French', I threw out the names many years ago, they're amazing but - I just play the drums. That's it. I just hit this, I have fun, I play musical, I play drums."

    Joe Morello would say, move to release the tension.

    Been waiting on a video like this from you for a long ass time now, my man lol. You killed it here, and I am looking forward to hopefully more vids like these from you! Just hearing you describe your own thoughts that pop into your head as you're playing is so valuable to all musicians on instruments.
    I'm mainly a lead guitarist, but I started out on drums (which I can still do a decent job of playing them now), and your playing and techniques absolutely blew me away just as soon as _I_ first discovered you on IG when your posts kept popping up in my ecplore page. You're by far my favorite drummer on IG right now, and it really feels like there is no parallel competitor in your age and stature right now. Seriously, you have the makings of becoming one of the greatest drummers ever out there, and you're definitely on the right track to getting to that level.
    Your verbal techniques can also be applied to other instruments very successfully; i.e. "don't overthink it," etc. Man, you got _IT_ . Glad to see you pursuing and living out your dreams and doing what you love to do. Keep up the great work, man!!

    Thanks for the trad grip descriptions and demonstrations. This kind of content is hard to find, and it is like gold for other trad grips practitioners (like me). Like you describe, I often resort to just experimenting with what is possible, inventing exercises to develop the technique, and then seeing if I can make it work in a musical way. Thanks again!

  • @marcoaguillon4926

    Reuben Spyker and you are keeping the tradition and legacy of the traditional grip for the new generation. Thank you for that. Many say it is a matter of the past and its use makes no sense, but I think more and more will choose it because of you.

    I never knew what my style of drumming was, which made it so hard to find any reference to the sound I aspired to create but finally after 20+ years of searching I finally found the exact energy I had been looking for, thank you man, every time you post a video on here it’s like pouring gas on the fire in my soul, my hand start to copy your snare rolls and I have to focus and hold my phone still and then my right foot starts to copy your bass drumming followed by the left trying to copy the hi hat, I have never wanted to run to my kit and jam out so bad in my life, and that is exactly what I want to make other people feel, thank you, again, you truly are a fucking inspiration!

Keep your core skills together at all times if you can. One of my teachers, the great Gary Chester, said to me what is true to your heart will always stay true to your heart. He also said be a human being first and a musician / drummer second!! Enjoy the ride my brother!! No pun intended. Haha ❤️🙃

    I have been watching your videos on Instagram and just found you on TH-cam. Your way of thinking is the biggest lesson of this video. Stay out of your own way and do what works without hurting yourself. You play amazing as well. I play everything matched grip and never questioned using traditional grip. Not that i think one is better than the other but thats the way i started playing. Great video and concept. I wish you continued success!

    • @dylanbaldwin7934
      @dylanbaldwin7934 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wonder if he can do all of what he just did matched? Is it easier for jazz. I'm in my school jazz band I love it but I play matches I'm not sure of the benefits of traditional. My band director says the reason it's still used today is just because it looks cool. My soul is mainly in rock though I'd like to have the capability of playing low volume and having g the control to play jazz because i also really love that style and i think it will better me as a musician and will help in my normal playing which is usually classic rock single bass drumming.

    Great video! Excellent job of explaining the details of what you do, and even what you omit. I got locked into a very rigid traditional grip when I first started playing at 16 many years ago, and my left hand never developed into what it needed to be, so I gave up in frustration thinking that was the only ‘correct’ way to do it, and I must just be lousy at it. Have just played match grip all these years, but because of TH-cam, I’m finally at point my life where I can circle back and figure out how to make this mine and go forward. I’ve already picked up some great tips from you and others, all of which was never addressed when I was 16.
