Yeah man, refreshing to hear someone playing the tune vs a bunch of chops. Don't get me wrong, he's got chops, but knows where to put them which is nice
To me, sounds like he studied RALPH PETERSON ( he is a good friend of Ralph's) AND Ralph has a list of drummers to listen to and Mark is on this list. Mark has studied and listened and has his own sound. Beautiful. Saw him at Bohemina Caverns wtih Orrin Evans. I felt embarrased by the condition of the drums....Mounted tom head totally ripped, but Mark did not complain....true pro.
I’m hearing a ton of Tony Williams in this cat’s playing, and that’s definitely a great thing! And the Monophonic ride has me considering selling some Bosphorus for a Meinl. I’ve never given the brand a try.
This is tasty! Fine drummer with some proper skills! Canopus doesnt hurt the ears either. That Monophonic is something all to itself. 4th time watching this. Love it.
Why the heck does this Vid only have 532 views? Omg bro that was so musical.. Dude you stayed true to the genre... thanks for keeping it pure and musical and your use of dynamics.. and not one Typical Church lick!!!! (I started in church so I’m not trying to offend anyone)Thank you bro.. that was inspirational 👍🏿👍🏿
Had the absolute pleasure of having a one-on-one lesson with this due when he stopped by at my old college once. I want to say he was playing with Sean Jones at the time but I'm not 100% sure.
Bob Schoepen jr no such thing as gospel chops call it what it is man triplets phrases in 32note... by the way he is playing the exact same phrases as gospel drummers hahahahah just his musicality is deferent
I appreciate his use of a more conventional drum setup. Not crazy about all the crashes/flourishes. Those bigger darker cymbals would sound wonderful all on their own. Subjective of course...anyway, still great.
Can't unhear the infinite amount of 'the licks' in the background track. Damn.
those drummers that smile while they play... love it...

Wow he sounds fantastic!! Love how effortless and how everything flow. ❤️ 👍
I'd be smiling if I was on that kit too! Excellent performance!
I was in Mercedes (Ururuay) when this guy played there. He smiles all the time while playing. Fantastic.
One of the best cymbal adds on TH-cam!
Finally a superb mix! The cymbals sound tremendous without the usual digital compression bs. Great unique demo video.
This might be the best along with some Teddy Campbell vids I thought were also mixed well. But this kit sounds great here.
Damn.. that drum solo set me straight. Back to the practice room- thanks for the motivation!!
SO BEAUT AND THOSE CYMBALS SOUND KILLER
Wow, these cymbals sound fantastic. 👍🏻
Jeez cymbals have come a long way . I really like the sound they fit the sound of his drums perfectly and I’m not a drummer .
As a Istanbul Agop guy, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with these cymbals! Mark's impeccable touch can't hurt...
the entire backing track is "the lick" lol
really interesting hi-hat choice, love it. that dual lathed crash takes the cake
Also he seems to be in love with that monophonic ride haha
Let's be honest, who isn't??
So am I....
The "Cymbal Bacon for some sizzle" makes the tone hahaha
Great technique and feel. Its fun watching a drummer that enjoy playing. Great!!
Just flawless flow and transitions. Beautiful job !
Gosh! Absolutely exceptional performance. Love your work Mark, and Meinl!
My new best drummer.....just wow!
This is really beautiful
Snare sounds amazing
AMAZING DRUMING, BEAUTIFUL SOUND WHAT A GOOD VIDEO!!
I just listened again this time with my Bose headphones and... WOW!!! 🤯

Clean work on the drums. Pleasing to listen to.
Them cymbals is awesome... nice rides

I hate you Meinl. Every time I hear another one of your cymbals I'm like "Oh, that one too!"
:)
That is a glorious fucking kit

"drummer uses cat as kick drum beater" would be a great video title.
Lmfao
A dead cat wrapped in soundproofing ;)
Mint!!!!
Like father, like son
Tasty as bbq chicken...Go head,bro!
Finally a young dude playing splendid jazz instead of gospel choppin around the world...👍🏾
Bob Schoepen jr no such thing as gospel chops call it what it is man triplets phrases in 32note... by the way he is playing the exact same phrases as gospel drummers hahahahah just his musicality is deferent
@@joshw8854jw yea its literally the same thing just different application 😂 maybe less power but the context is still a LOT of business
Cymbals sounds like butter
And that's his dad playing guitar, right?
Tasty tasty 👌
HE REMINDS ME OF CHRIS DAVE WHEN HE USED TO PLAY WITH KENNY GARRETT
He is actually in one of Kenny Garrett's Albums!
Huuhhh!!!, hell yeah!
This Cat can swing!

Audio-Technica ATM25
