Bobby was the Drummer in a band I was in for about three years. The Daryl Dugosh band. You have no idea of the amount of work he put into his craft. Rolling down the road he was always practicing. He also happens to be a fine fellow with a pretty good sense of humor. I am lucky to have played with him.
@@scottdunn2178 agreed. The brothers qre insane..have never seen such talent ever in a group. I hella miss blotted science so much. Hannes Grossman was extremely good too. Although with a diff approach..
This song was written by his brother, Ron Jarzombek. The two were in the band Spastic Ink, and Ron is the head of the insane metal band Blotted Science.
Spastic Ink had the one & only Bass god Michael Manring - whom re-innovated the instrument with Zon bass {see Hyperbass}. Thonk was ahead of its time, imho : th-cam.com/video/OiU8DA4Rqsw/w-d-xo.html
AND, they attract different breeds. Spastic Ink had the one & only Bass god Michael Manring - whom re-innovated the instrument with Zon bass {see Hyperbass}. AND, Manring had Alex Skolnick & Tim 'DistHERB' Alexander play on his album "Thonk" & in his "structured improv" project called Attention Deficit.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums yeah he has a song called "A Headache and a 64th" and it's the most absurd thing... if I remember correctly, it's 4 bars of 4/4, then 1/64th note, and then it repeats
Bobby and his brother sonorized some cartoons also. Bobby is a monster. Check more of him you will be amazed how "clean" he is and accurate. His portfolio and artist's he worked with is just awesome. He play jazz, metal, rock, whatever you need.
I love cynic.. I've noticed that a lotta people don't like the vocals..but I dig it a lot , fits the vibe of the band...my fav song by them is textures.
I recall recommending this to you, and a great deal of people agreed and commented. Thanks to David who suggested it on Patreon! The song is a Japanese Bonus Track called "A Quick Affix" off the "Spastic Ink - Ink Compatible (2004)" album. Ron Jarzombek is the guitar player here, and Pete Perez was on bass. It's renamed to "Peppered Cancer", some guitar sweeps are removed, so there is more focus on the drums and the mix is more drum-focused. This was a video from the "Performance and Technique" DVD released by Bobby Jarzombek, and it never gets old. Really glad you liked it :)
one of my favorite drummers of all time. had this DVD as a kid learning to play years ago. love seeing him come back to San Antonio Texas and jam with a country band believe it or not lol. Little fact Bobby was asked to audition for Dream Theater when Portnoy left but he was touring with Judas Priest and Holfard
Bobby is insane and his body of work is insane. Riot, Halford, Sebastian Bach, Fates Warning, Arch/Matheos, Demons and Wizards, toured with Iced Earth after Richard Christy left to do Howard Stern(Richard Christy is also a must watch, insane drummer and super nice guy), Juggernaut, Painmuseum, Rob Rock, etc. I saw his brother Ron live with Watchtower when they opened for Dream Theater in Dallas on their second leg of the Scenes tour. I was only 15 at the time and completely blown away. Now for my vote on who to check out, Dirk Verbeuren, Spectrum of Eternity live playthrough. Besides Hoglan, Jarzombek, and Portnoy, he's another one of those incredibly busy drummers constantly in the studio playing on several projects.
Bobby's brother Ron wrote and played the guitar parts for this song. He is also the guitar player for Blotted Science (of which you did the Hannes Grossman reaction)
Bobby is the closest you can get to a drum machine. I have been following this guy for decades in almost all of his projects and bands. He is brother with Ron, the guitarist that had that project with Hanes Grossmann and the bassist of Cannibal Corpse you reacted a week ago. Simply unique musician
Great content Andrew! IMHO, Bobby Jarzombek's "School" performance is much more exciting and complicated than Peppered Cancer. You should definetely check that out too!
I have watched this performance on TH-cam multiple times over the years, and it NEVER gets old. Bobby is awesome! Thanks for getting to this one Andrew, kudos! 👍👍👍☮☮☮
The band is Spastic Ink with his guitar maniac brother Ron Jarzombek...these two Brothers are mad scientist musicians and friends of mine...Bobby has played with Fates Warning,Halford,Sebastian Bach,Riot,Spastic Ink.His brother is famous for the band Watchtower
Some of this stuff you just have to laugh at the skill level is so high. When he auditioned for HALFORD, Rob saw him and said ok, this is the guy. I used to have the dvd and they show how all the band guys were picked. Rob didn’t even have to think about it when Bobby played. It’s on the HALFORD dvd extras.
So I am NOT a drummer, however I’ve happened across this channel and realized that I absolutely love both listening to and watching the drummers, also your reactions to them and your informative inputs throughout. I basically binge through your videos every evening. Thank you!
When my alter ego Marcel Lightning Dube... saw Bobby J. It was like WTF!! He played barefoot!!! Isn't that painful & what did we just watch!? Bobby Jarzombek really stepped it up a notch in some aspects, on his instructional video. I think it was on School or showing his stick twirls around the drum kit!? Another one to check out is. ~King's X=Gerry Gaskill We Were Born To Be Loved.~ Such an interesting way to put the paradiddle in a song and the ending. What is that ....Free time... As I'm counting but, the shots in the song are so odd when hearing the first time. Really cool and they did LIVE!!! WHOA!!!
Hey! I’ve met Ron, he used to play at a club I worked at with his band Dragonfly. He gave me one of his self made cds which you really have to be a guitarist and music theory expert to really appreciate. I also met Bobby at a club where he was playing as RIOT’s drummer. The brothers are from my city in TEXAS. I first heard Bobby when he played for HALFORD. Shit hot drummer that guy.
This song was one from a project that Bobby, and his brother Ron, co wrote. He talked about it in a DrumTalk interview (episode 9), which can be found on TH-cam.
BTW, the songwriter, as many have mentioned is his brother Ron Jarzombek. Their band is called Spastic Ink, and he’s also the songwriter and guitarist behind the Blotted Science song you checked out with Hannes Grossmann. A real mad scientist.
What everyone is saying here is absolutely true but I would like to add something else..he is truly one of the nicest and most humble people I have ever met. He is a master at his craft and has worked his ass off to be one of the top 5 drummers of all time (my opinion and many others as well). One would think that, him being considered one of the greatest drummers in the world he might be a bit arrogant (or a lot arrogant) or have an attitude. He doesn't...not at all. In fact, he has zero ego and often fills in on drums for many local bands/artists in Austin, San Antonio and South Texas. I would think he would be bored as hell sitting in with a local country band and play 4/4 shuffles and traditional/old school country music all night but he does it and man does he do it well!! You won't meet a nicer more genuine person, especially someone at the level he plays. He has sat in with the band I am with several times when I have had to be out for one reason or another. He charts drums parts for the songs he isn't familiar with and he will nail it every single time. Bobby is the total opposite of so many famous drummers. Always professional, prepared, and just all around, a great human being.
I love your channel man. I browse TH-cam looking for new drummers I can watch in awe. Their is great talent out there. Also, your speechlessness cracks me up 😂 . I'm the same way lol.
Your reacts are my favourite, man. Jarzombek is an amazing one but you can see also the most underrated drummer Jason Rullo with the most underrated band in prog metal history Symphony X.
Glad you finally got to Bobby! This is an impressive song although the dynamics don’t vary much. I would have personally picked one of his Arch/Matheos or Zierler songs. Saw him live with Fates Warning and few years back and he just doesn’t miss a note, even on some of the really tricky drum parts by their former drummer, Mark Zonder. You will have a difficult time finding good vids of Mark playing but he’s completely different but also a great drummer.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums - Since being a HUGE Fates Warning & Arch/Matheos fan, I whole heartedly agree! Mark Zonder was a fantastic drummer, and had FW tackle some more difficult tempos. Also look for Zonder playing with 1 off band "Slavior" and the track "Another Planet" with Zonder in-studio Live :).
@@AndrewRooneyDrums yeah... about 6 miles. I dont know exactly where but I caught him at the gas station a few times. You frequent the places near your home. We have even gone to same concerts. This is from an Yngwie Malmsteen Show back in 2008. He is in center and I am being stupid on the left. www.dropbox.com/s/dyxwn1zdg6rfsbn/Yngwie%20Show%20040.jpg?dl=0
@@AndrewRooneyDrums i was wrong. He lives a little further away, 30mins. The gas station was 10 mins away. Still, he goes to many local shows when he aint touring. I seen him out quite a bit.
Great to see you checking out Bobby, he is a true machine. I would put him in the same group as Mario Duplantier from Gojira as two of the most creative, precise, powerful and killer players in metal. This video is really old, you should check out Bobby's work with Fates Warning or some of his studio work. Stellar stuff.
His work with the band Riot is also a joy to listen to. When Dream Theater was auditioning for a new drummer they called him, and they were even willing to change the date to accommodate him. But he still wasn't interested.
This track/video is definitely cool and all, but the Spastic Ink tracks “Aquanet” and “Multi Masking” are some of the greatest drumming performances in history. He’s nuts.
Lets also talk about the guitars... this a whole new level though the video is very old. BTW: there are drum covers of nearly all good and complex drumming-intense Songs, but I don’t know of any Spastic Ink or Blotted Science song....
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Fredrik Thordendal playing drums with Morgan Ågren, sol niger within medley. Its so sick. Thanks for the reply, you are awesome sir.
They're 3 brothers, Ron, Ralph and Bobby and all are musical masterminds. Ron does inhuman things on guitar, Ralph has a Master in music and plays keys and bass and Bobby, well, you just saw him. He is totally self taught and swapped to open handed during the recording of 'The Privilege of Power' with Riot back in the end of the 80ies. Why to use cymbals behind his head? Efficiency! As simple as that, a Jarzombek does nothing for no reason. watch once this video here (th-cam.com/video/0nqRa4BiEEA/w-d-xo.html) at 1:32, backstroke/frontstroke, it doesn't get more efficient! Also if you watch his stick twirl video once, which is on the same DVD like the one you just commented, you understand the unlimited potential of this guy. He's like a Kraken from far out of space, it's literally ridiculous what he can. He plays in like 200 bands from Country to the sickest level of prog (Spastic Ink), including, Halford, Sebastian Bach, Painmuseum, Fates Warning, Arch/Matheos, ..... And he has the balls to turn down the invitation to a Dream Theater audition, the only drummer who did so. btw, he also mutes his backstroke cymbals, you might see it when you watch the link above. And now it's time for some MARK ZONDER, Matt Thompson (th-cam.com/video/g068cjFcw-0/w-d-xo.html drumtrack is actually written by Mikkey Dee) and legend Jon Hiseman (th-cam.com/video/EocPTLFvFPk/w-d-xo.html)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums you're welcome! Always happy to support Bobby since he's probably the most underrated drummer alive. It actually would have been cool if people would have asked for 'School' th-cam.com/video/vMXFZrfXX20/w-d-xo.html instead of 'Peppered Cancer'. But probably 'School' is a bit too humilliating. Another highly demoralizing video is the very old recording of Spastic Ink's 'Aquanet' th-cam.com/video/yTQUfSfXjoE/w-d-xo.html blow your mind. btw, Gene is the Atomic Clock, Bobby the inventor of Time.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Did you know that he was one of the drummers picked for the DT job ? He was asked by Dream Theater to come and audition but he ended up declining. He was out touring with Halford, had several other commitments and didn't have time to learn the songs. He also thought that there was too many things unclear at that time, if Portnoy was gone for good or if he was coming back so Bobby didn't want to burn bridges to work he already accepted. The guy from the DT camp said that he was the only one that said no lol. In the end he felt that Mike Mangini was a good choice, must have been a tough spot to be in at that time. Bobby's CV is about a mile long with 40 + album releases with Riot, Halford, Fates Warning , Sebastian Bach among others and a lot of session work. The guy is a legend.
This video just made me subscribe, Jarzombek is ridiculously amazing, great video man! I would suggest Aquiles Priester playing Symbolic which is originally a Death song. He can't replace Gene Hoglan, but he's a fantastic player and has a unique kit.
The Jarzombeks are just aliens! Definitely try Pierre Rettien's drum playthriugh of either Social Unboard ( strong recommend) or Scalable (still good, awesome ending section) for the band Vertex! I promise you'll be blown! Anyway, I really enjoy your work, keep it up man! n_n
@@AndrewRooneyDrums BTW, if you're getting sick of all the extreme stuff, he does an amazing Al Di Meola cover with his 80's band Riot. th-cam.com/video/GoKSj-G_JCQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=fiambrera

I love Bobby, if he was an average drummer the cymbals behind the head would be gimmicky but because he's an absolute monster it just makes it so damn cool!
in order to be able to really mock him for it, you'd have to be his equal or play his stuff better with your own setup and, yeah, that's not gonna happen
Hey Andy I'm not tryin to be an ass when I say this, I love your reactions, but I think we maybe needed more than like 30 seconds of your thoughts on this one :P
Hey Andrew, how about "The Mevins", they employ 2 drummers, and they have been quite an influence on other bands esp. sludge & groove for long. Would love to see your reaction on "The Bit - Melvins (European Tour 2009) "

This song was written by his brother, Ron Jarzombek. The two were in the band Spastic Ink, and Ron is the head of the insane metal band Blotted Science.
GREAT!

When he lands that behind-the-head cymbal during the more straight-forward parts, it hits so much heavier than a normal cymbal.

Your reacts are my favourite, man. Jarzombek is an amazing one but you can see also the most underrated drummer Jason Rullo with the most underrated band in prog metal history Symphony X.
SUBBED for this. I'm not a percussionist, but a lifelong musician, and this was pushing the limits. Scary precision.
What's going on here? Breakfast!
Yes this is insanity
…He also plays for two of my favorite bands,…Fates Warning, and George Strait!…..🤘🔥🤘…
When you don’t have nunchucks but do have a drum kit and are feeling Samurai practice. 🥷
You called it on those cymbals! This was shot in 2002
A true drumming monster
YUP!
Did anyone else catch that he opened with “Hey Andrew, it’s TH-cam here”?
Glad you finally got to Bobby! This is an impressive song although the dynamics don’t vary much. I would have personally picked one of his Arch/Matheos or Zierler songs. Saw him live with Fates Warning and few years back and he just doesn’t miss a note, even on some of the really tricky drum parts by their former drummer, Mark Zonder. You will have a difficult time finding good vids of Mark playing but he’s completely different but also a great drummer.
Great stuff Steve!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums - Since being a HUGE Fates Warning & Arch/Matheos fan, I whole heartedly agree! Mark Zonder was a fantastic drummer, and had FW tackle some more difficult tempos. Also look for Zonder playing with 1 off band "Slavior" and the track "Another Planet" with Zonder in-studio Live :).
wow, what fun on the cymbals... one word, original, maybe not the best I have seen but totally original.
Glad you dug it David!
He lives like 10 minutes from me. Dude is a MONSTER on drums.
Oh no way Aaron!!??
@@AndrewRooneyDrums yeah... about 6 miles. I dont know exactly where but I caught him at the gas station a few times. You frequent the places near your home. We have even gone to same concerts. This is from an Yngwie Malmsteen Show back in 2008. He is in center and I am being stupid on the left.
www.dropbox.com/s/dyxwn1zdg6rfsbn/Yngwie%20Show%20040.jpg?dl=0
@@AndrewRooneyDrums i was wrong. He lives a little further away, 30mins. The gas station was 10 mins away. Still, he goes to many local shows when he aint touring. I seen him out quite a bit.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Interesting factoid. Bobby Jarzombek is now George Strait's Touring drummer. Prog rock to classic country.
Great to see you checking out Bobby, he is a true machine. I would put him in the same group as Mario Duplantier from Gojira as two of the most creative, precise, powerful and killer players in metal. This video is really old, you should check out Bobby's work with Fates Warning or some of his studio work. Stellar stuff.
Yo thanks Kren!
I've done a few Mario vids now. He's awesome for sure :)
His work with the band Riot is also a joy to listen to.
When Dream Theater was auditioning for a new drummer they called him, and they were even willing to change the date to accommodate him.
But he still wasn't interested.
He and Ron Jarzobek his brother from another universe
HAHA! Yup
Thanks for Bobby..he is just out of this world
Yes Oleg!
Bobby's just a monster sensational talent..
You need to see Bobby doing "School" and have a nice day.
This track/video is definitely cool and all, but the Spastic Ink tracks “Aquanet” and “Multi Masking” are some of the greatest drumming performances in history. He’s nuts.
You'll Love The song School from him.
Sounds good!
“Hey what’s up Andrew it’s TH-cam here” 😂😂
LOL JP
He played for HALFORD and Riot I believe
🤯👀
That was a explosion in a fireworks factory. Trying to look at one thing and then you just have to take it all in with amazement.
Yes Rob! HAHA
Lets also talk about the guitars... this a whole new level though the video is very old.
BTW: there are drum covers of nearly all good and complex drumming-intense Songs, but I don’t know of any Spastic Ink or Blotted Science song....
🥁👌
You should take a peek at Devildriver's songs Clouds Over California and Dead to Rights with John Boecklin on drums.
Thanks Romeo!
Please react to Morgan Ågren playing with meshuggas guitarist
Sounds good!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Fredrik Thordendal playing drums with Morgan Ågren, sol niger within medley. Its so sick. Thanks for the reply, you are awesome sir.
Great drummer. Lots of talent. I find the cymbals that are behind him are cool at first then feel kind of gimicky. Ty
Great stuff Bill!
Now he's playing drums in a Country band.
They're 3 brothers, Ron, Ralph and Bobby and all are musical masterminds. Ron does inhuman things on guitar, Ralph has a Master in music and plays keys and bass and Bobby, well, you just saw him. He is totally self taught and swapped to open handed during the recording of 'The Privilege of Power' with Riot back in the end of the 80ies. Why to use cymbals behind his head? Efficiency! As simple as that, a Jarzombek does nothing for no reason. watch once this video here (th-cam.com/video/0nqRa4BiEEA/w-d-xo.html) at 1:32, backstroke/frontstroke, it doesn't get more efficient! Also if you watch his stick twirl video once, which is on the same DVD like the one you just commented, you understand the unlimited potential of this guy. He's like a Kraken from far out of space, it's literally ridiculous what he can. He plays in like 200 bands from Country to the sickest level of prog (Spastic Ink), including, Halford, Sebastian Bach, Painmuseum, Fates Warning, Arch/Matheos, ..... And he has the balls to turn down the invitation to a Dream Theater audition, the only drummer who did so. btw, he also mutes his backstroke cymbals, you might see it when you watch the link above. And now it's time for some MARK ZONDER, Matt Thompson (th-cam.com/video/g068cjFcw-0/w-d-xo.html drumtrack is actually written by Mikkey Dee) and legend Jon Hiseman (th-cam.com/video/EocPTLFvFPk/w-d-xo.html)
Excellent comment! Thanks for all the great info!!!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums you're welcome! Always happy to support Bobby since he's probably the most underrated drummer alive. It actually would have been cool if people would have asked for 'School' th-cam.com/video/vMXFZrfXX20/w-d-xo.html instead of 'Peppered Cancer'. But probably 'School' is a bit too humilliating. Another highly demoralizing video is the very old recording of Spastic Ink's 'Aquanet' th-cam.com/video/yTQUfSfXjoE/w-d-xo.html blow your mind. btw, Gene is the Atomic Clock, Bobby the inventor of Time.
YAY! Thank you!
Thanks for the amazing pick Brother!
There are the open minded.
And then there are the patronizing sycophants.
You sir, belong to the former class.
Never change...
Bobby is such a badass !
YES!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Did you know that he was one of the drummers picked for the DT job ? He was asked by Dream Theater to come and audition but he ended up declining. He was out touring with Halford, had several other commitments and didn't have time to learn the songs. He also thought that there was too many things unclear at that time, if Portnoy was gone for good or if he was coming back so Bobby didn't want to burn bridges to work he already accepted. The guy from the DT camp said that he was the only one that said no lol. In the end he felt that Mike Mangini was a good choice, must have been a tough spot to be in at that time.
Bobby's CV is about a mile long with 40 + album releases with Riot, Halford, Fates Warning , Sebastian Bach among others and a lot of session work. The guy is a legend.
Thank god, i was going to suggest this one!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Loved it man!
Shout out for those from the wairarapa👍
Thanks rooney!!
My friend and i had his brother Ron the guitarist as a guitar teacher!
Wow!
He is like some sort of drumming cyborg. The Terminator of the drumming world maybe.
Yes Sasha. Sent from the future to blow our mortal minds!
This video just made me subscribe, Jarzombek is ridiculously amazing, great video man! I would suggest Aquiles Priester playing Symbolic which is originally a Death song. He can't replace Gene Hoglan, but he's a fantastic player and has a unique kit.
Thanks Jason!
Bobby plays for George Strait now. Still kills it.
BOBBY IS MONSTER!
hey mate, I know this may not be your fav music genre, but check George Kollias playing "Shall Rise Shall Be Dead" or "Aeons Of Burning Galaxies"
Thank you!
If you look into how his brother Ron composes... I'd say there is nothing whatsoever "normal" about the Jarzombeks.
More from the Jarzombeks!
Hope so Adrian!
I know this is a year old vid, but am I the only one that caught him saying "What's up Andrew it's TH-cam here" at the beginning? 😆😆😆
What a machine…
CRAZY
The Jarzombeks are just aliens!
Definitely try Pierre Rettien's drum playthriugh of either Social Unboard ( strong recommend) or Scalable (still good, awesome ending section) for the band Vertex! I promise you'll be blown!
Anyway, I really enjoy your work, keep it up man! n_n
Thanks Zwan!
Bobby is mind-boggling. Amazing how unknown he is
Absolutely!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums BTW, if you're getting sick of all the extreme stuff, he does an amazing Al Di Meola cover with his 80's band Riot. th-cam.com/video/GoKSj-G_JCQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=fiambrera
He is playing for rob halford
Right on!
And Sebastian Bach.
He looks like he’s trying to fight his way out! Ha ha!

I love Bobby, if he was an average drummer the cymbals behind the head would be gimmicky but because he's an absolute monster it just makes it so damn cool!
in order to be able to really mock him for it, you'd have to be his equal or play his stuff better with your own setup and, yeah, that's not gonna happen
Yup it's great!
Hey Andy I'm not tryin to be an ass when I say this, I love your reactions, but I think we maybe needed more than like 30 seconds of your thoughts on this one :P
Good call!?
I was kinda speechless and confused on this one :)
Excellent choice, I just wanted to hear more about your thoughts on it.
Hey Andrew, how about "The Mevins", they employ 2 drummers, and they have been quite an influence on other bands esp. sludge & groove for long. Would love to see your reaction on "The Bit - Melvins (European Tour 2009) "
GREAT pick! Rajeev
I'd recommend the watchtower drummer, Rick Colaluca. Creative and in the same vein as Jarzombek here
Bello/Magnifico.✡️👑👑👑👑👑👑🌡️
Remember - It's his brother on guitar
Right on!
