Seeing Gergő I'm proud to be Hungarian. I am following him since 1997, since he was plaiying his first shows in the smoky bars of Budapest for 10-20 people size audience. I always knew that he became very famous some day. I feel blessed that I'm more or less the same age than him, so I can enjoy his work for the rest of my life... thanks for your kind words, he deserves... 🤗🙂
As a Pole whenever I see Hungarian I press like but this deserves every praise possible! Diversity, precision, dynamics, sound, power. Everything included!
Seen this vid a few times and can say, without a doubt, this is some of the best drumming I've ever seen. I simply cannot believe any human can be this advanced.
Who disliked this!?! 😂🤦🏼 This vid might take the 🎂 By the way, I wasn't trying to throw shade on the Metal fans here! Plenty of every genre on the way!
W-O-W insane! And what a band! Mono neon (Ghost note bass player), Nate Werth (Ghost note and Snarky Puppy) percussionist and Dominic Xavier (keyboards in Ghost Note and TOTO) for example, are killer!
That was intense!! Nice pocket, dynamic finesse and control. I saw him w/ Mohini Dey when I saw her l8est vid w/ Marco Minneman in which is off the hook!! WHOA!!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Yes phenomenal!! What are you thoughts on the alter ego M Lightning's drumming!? I think he needs some work on a few things as to form to stay consistent and relaxed when it comes to playing long periods of time alternating limbs w/ the same sound w/ dynamic musical nuances!? Hmmm.... ..
This video made me joyful. Thank you for posting this, Andy. Music is joy. And I'm so happy to see a Hungarian brother (yes, Finns and Hungarians are related, well, our languages at least) with this much talent. This is my favourite video you have posted. ❤️❤️❤️
Gergő (yes, it's tough to say. :D ) he's been a highly appreciated drummer since he was 19 only. Spent his 20's with notable Hungarian jazz musicians for a good reason. I'M happy to see him here, he is a dragon with sticks.
I clapped at home like I was there when he finished the song. LOL! I was so drawn in. Such an amazing drummer. First time learning about him. Everyone playing on this vid was rocking it! Really enjoyed this one!
I had the luck to see him perform many times with various bands and I never really believed what I saw. He is just another level and the definition of dynamic playing. Definitely the best drummer I have ever seen live. He played on over 300 albums still many people never even heard of him! I also talked with him a couple of times really solid dude. Great choice Andrew 🙌🏻 Hope you will check out more from him!
Ok. This is the best video I've seen yet. It's like Dennis Chambers and David Garibaldi AND Buddy Rich had a love child. Gergo is fucking amazing. I'm right there with you, Andy. Holy shit this guy, and I've been playing for 45 years and have seen all the greats. I gotta get music from this guy now.
As someone who loves extreme metal drumming and in the last 2 weeks discovered your channel, your videos of genres I’m not familiar with have been so insightful. I haven’t actually sat behind a drum kit in almost a decade but that itch never goes away.
"What a great pic me" ...lol...I've got to agree. I will be watching this again and again and again. Perhaps my new favourite drummer and the best fusion band on the planet.
I find it so amazing that I can and have watched this a lot of times. and once your at the end of this type of playing. I am so out of breath. How is this possible? You summed it up...firing on all cylinders. wow. Total energy output, Warp 9
I’m a metal and extreme metal guy myself but compared to the last video with ne obli.... (which I must say was one of the more boring drum videos you’ve reacted to) this is what you call mastery. So much technique, controll, dynamics, cool fills etc.
You're not trve to your kind. Metalheads can't listen to something that is not metal or rock because "it's not real music". Good thing I got away from that 13-14 years ago.
Triplet fill 9:46. Really? REALLY? His hand speed is terrifying. Like with Mr Chambers, I think we need to slow the tape speed down a little. Extraordinary playing.
I love the shot of Matt Greiner swaying his head and seriously getting into it! It was you Andrew that introduced me to Gergo, and the other videos I have seen of him, he is definitely a phenomenal drummer!
Hi Andrew I come from Germany and im a Big Fan from you. I know, my English is shit. i have found a new Video from Gergo Borlai. Bag'Show 2021 in France. You know it. Grüße vom Bodensee Andy S
The reactions that tickle me the most are the shots of the other world-class players in that room smiling in disbelief at how awesome this drummer is. So smooth
Well that was insane. I don't like to throw requests at you but I think youd really enjoy the Japanese jazz fusion group, Casiopea and the song Domino line. Ton of fun to watch. Always great to see musicians having fun like with this video.
I have known Gergo for quite a few years, a true Master. Another master (for me at least) is Kirk Covington. I would love to see you do a video featuring him. Thanks for this cool video!!
5:13 ... Gergo hits the ride cymbal and then 5:14 stops deliberately for an INCREDIBLE CHOP! WOW He is INCREDIBLE! Dennis Chambers in the last episode and at the end of his performance of Zildjian Live gives Gergo a huge thank for what He does in this performance.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I’ve been going about it a lot like you have! I went down the rabbit hole awhile back. My gosh he is a machine! Watched that whole other reaction video you did. Saw the whole thing myself. It’s almost too much after the first half hour. My brain melts. Lol Now we just need to find him playing live somewhere. :)
Zildjian Live Season 2 was one of the best things that ever happened in TH-cam 2020. A variety of styles, just pure fun in general, and don't forget about the first season too! Keep wearing that stank face Mr. Andrew, there's a lot of exquisite content for you to appreciate and explore!
How about a Brian Blade reaction video? Maybe "Listen Up" with Jeff Denson Trio. And / Or JP Bouvet with Childish Japes performing "Vic Pils" on MEINL's Channel. Deadly!
Andrew Rooney, pleeez take a look at: Mt Fuji Taiko festival/2011/2012--Hiryu High school yes.......a high school taiko band !...........you won't be at all confused as to who all the commenters seem to call the "girl in the middele"......!! ...sublime taiko,--both audio and visual. Your reviews are enlightening--so I hope you widen your net to include this heavenly performance.. .
Totally different to what I would normally listen to, but man! Tobaccotastic, I mean fantastic! I'm a rock/metal head myself, but don't mind listening to other genres, top pick apart what's going on in the recording. This was awesome, thank you Andrew, and of course to who requested it too. Big thumbs up ☮☮☮👍👍👍
As a hungarian myself I'm very proud of Gergő and probably he is one of the most influential drummer of the modern music scene
💯👌
Same here
I agree. He finally made it to where he should be for a long time. To the f’in top! Hajrá Gergő! 🤘🏻
I am pretty sure he is in the top 5 drummers in the word now and will be there for a long time.
@@lew046 agreed
One of the best performances in recoded history. Gergo is beyond human here. Pure brilliance!
INCREDIBLE
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I just love Gergos “open Narada fusion feel”. Pure flow 🙏🏻
UNREAL!!! WOW! It really is. No doubt.

Unreal fantastic !!!

YESSS!
No matter how many times i watch that video, I still have no words.
Me either!
The groove on this one is so hard i almost fell off my chair
Had me leanin' hard! HAHA
I held.my breath for the last 4 minutes... a tear fell for the corner of my eye. One pedal.... possibly the best solo I've ever seen. Wow.
That was simply amazing. ❤️
I agree
being a drummer, lead guitar, bass player, piano player for 37 years. they are all in the pocket
They sure are!
Seen this vid a few times and can say, without a doubt, this is some of the best drumming I've ever seen. I simply cannot believe any human can be this advanced.
Who disliked this!?! 😂🤦🏼
This vid might take the 🎂
By the way, I wasn't trying to throw shade on the Metal fans here! Plenty of every genre on the way!
👍
I had never heard of Gergo and then I saw him on Drumeo. I can't imagine anyone not being blown away by his playing. HOLY CRAP!!!
Insane Joe!
And Nate Werth on percussion with Ghost Note. He's incredible
W-O-W insane! And what a band! Mono neon (Ghost note bass player), Nate Werth (Ghost note and Snarky Puppy) percussionist and Dominic Xavier (keyboards in Ghost Note and TOTO) for example, are killer!
That was intense!! Nice pocket, dynamic finesse and control. I saw him w/ Mohini Dey when I saw her l8est vid w/ Marco Minneman in which is off the hook!! WHOA!!
Crazy skills Marcel

Why? The Finns are Scythians? Or Huns ? You said a good joke, thank you !

he's been a highly appreciated drummer since he was 19 only. Spent his 20's with notable Hungarian jazz musicians for a good reason. I'M happy to see him here, he is a dragon with sticks.
This guy is the greatest drummer actually on earth, thanks Andrew for this patreon!! Best Channel on youtube!!

Loved this promo., This guy is out of sight !!! Holy crap !!
💯🙌
Instablaster...
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Ay man, you don't have to react to it but, you would do well to watch him jam out on, Keep It Greasy.
I’m enjoying your channel so much. I’m loving watching all these different drummers. Bravo.
Glad you like them!
Old school metal head shouting out proper recognition to a legit player no matter what genre, mono number 1
Yes Adam!
I had the luck to see him perform many times with various bands and I never really believed what I saw. He is just another level and the definition of dynamic playing. Definitely the best drummer I have ever seen live. He played on over 300 albums still many people never even heard of him! I also talked with him a couple of times really solid dude.

Wow Joe! I need to check out those albums!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums fresh one from him, i belive that he does the composing too> th-cam.com/video/cBjpLwkkaAM/w-d-xo.html
Ok. This is the best video I've seen yet. It's like Dennis Chambers and David Garibaldi AND Buddy Rich had a love child. Gergo is fucking amazing. I'm right there with you, Andy. Holy shit this guy, and I've been playing for 45 years and have seen all the greats. I gotta get music from this guy now.
Get it Benny!
This is out of this world
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Three albums on TH-cam music with Gergo, Andy!
and he is playing on albums for others a lot too. Check Gary Willis.
From the other planet. Simply amaizing
Dont know why we wonder where Aliens are. We have one sitting behind a drum kit right here! Good lord my face is permanent stank 😮
HAHA Yes Jesse. Freakish
Gergo Borlai is the greatest drummer on the planet, extant.
Watch the set with him, Mohini Dey (I think she's how I came to him?), Tony McAlpine, and Stu Hamm. Just wow.
my favorite part is at 10:15 where he plays some of the notes on the toms like its an echo or a reply for the background music
Whole thing is mad
@@AndrewRooneyDrums yeah but thats so gentle. and makes you feel elecrtified at the same time
Matt Greiner vibing at the 6:22 mark showed this kind of playing transcends genre. Would highly recommend a reaction to one of Matts videos!
I’ve done one on Matt! And another out on Monday :)
As soon as I find a match the kit is going up in flames!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤣🤣
I'm proud once again! I shaked his hand after a concert with Guthrie Govan and Anton Davidyants in Kazan.
Oh great!

As insanely good as he is, Gergo amazes by showing what the song can be.
Yes exactly! He's so musical
When Matt Greiner reacts like this (10:03), you know you have done something extraordinary :-D
Yup!
FYI "Hide the pain Harold" meme is also a Hungarian guy. :)
😂👌👍👍👍
Etruscan Style Rulez! 😎
"What a great pic me" ...lol...I've got to agree. I will be watching this again and again and again. Perhaps my new favourite drummer and the best fusion band on the planet.

100%
Gergo is amazing, he’s got so many great videos and I can’t get enough of his work.
Can't wait to check out more Sean!
This man to me can not be touched! Him means business! No sweating either😮
Total freak!

Not human. Another level
Insane Andrew! Best pocket ever
Insane talent.
Holy sh!@. He is off the charts.
Check out the more recent one I did on him.
Mind blowing Lou
Nate Werth on percussion? Beast!
Totally! 💯👌
Just beautiful!🤘🥁
Glad you like it Rodrigo!
This guy is fun for everyone. The audience...other musicians...himself
Yes Drakaus!
Wow I needed someone at the opposite of my world to make me discover this! Just wow. Cheers from the 🇨🇦Rockies man. 🙏🏻
Great. Plenty of amazing vids on the channel for you to check out!
Daaaaaaamn my neck hurts, that is unreal groove
Yup! 🥁🎶👀

Wow!, thanks! great drummer. He, and DiCenso are gods
YES SIR!
This is what humanity should be celebrating, not territorial disputes
Him and Jojo, best hands.
just a beautiful wash of lovely notes and feeling
You probably won't be surprised then to know he's played on over 500 albums now
I can see why. Mind blown Peter
shout out to the drum techs.
YUP
You're face enjoying this made me enjoy all the more. Unbelievable musicians, not a frown in the house. Solid entertainment.
Drummers can really appreciate a solid bass line.
Andrew, love your videos. Your wit and sense of humor are excellent.
I appreciate that Mark!
If i had to describe this id have to use "Effortless Power" thats what Grego is.
Triplet fill 9:46. Really? REALLY? His hand speed is terrifying. Like with Mr Chambers, I think we need to slow the tape speed down a little. Extraordinary playing.
Absolute freak
I love the shot of Matt Greiner swaying his head and seriously getting into it! It was you Andrew that introduced me to Gergo, and the other videos I have seen of him, he is definitely a phenomenal drummer!

That was absolutely stunning!!!!

No words really!
INSANE!
Hi Andrew
I come from Germany and im a Big Fan from you. I know, my English is shit.
i have found a new Video from Gergo Borlai. Bag'Show 2021 in France. You know it.
Grüße vom Bodensee
Andy S
At 2:00 and 12:14 you can see actor Mark Sheppard (Crowley from the TV Show Supernatural) haha. I believe he used to be a drummer :)
Wrong.
There's no such thing as 'used to be a drummer'.
Someone please take the screenshot, of the "Synchronized Stank Face" at 7:38, and make it a meme....
Haha! 😂👌👌👌
The reactions that tickle me the most are the shots of the other world-class players in that room smiling in disbelief at how awesome this drummer is. So smooth
Yup! 💯🙌
I'm digging those syncopated and over the barline fills. Very tight. As usual mononeon is a fucking legend, making everyone look even better.
💯👌
That’s the kind of drum breakfast you need to start the day. 👌🏻
You got that right Adrian!
Super clean jazz drums ascendant. Thanks so much for sharing.
Who do I see about my face melting off? Gergo has changed me for life. Lol 😂
This was my introduction to Gergo. I’m 35. What in the hell was I doing to not know about this man
Likewise. Had heard so much... and not dissapointed
Well that was insane. I don't like to throw requests at you but I think youd really enjoy the Japanese jazz fusion group, Casiopea and the song Domino line. Ton of fun to watch. Always great to see musicians having fun like with this video.
Thanks Robbo!
I love watching this original video, so well mastered!
And by the way, what type of mad man has 3 floor toms????
Yes yes. Thank you.
What a monster!
After prolonged & concentrated practice, I can now play the part from 2:06 to 2:08.
Would take me years 🤣🤣👌
at 12:30 you can hear the correct hungarian pronunciation of Gergő, as the little kidd speaks to him
Just to appreciate: This guy's meme-game is right on the snare.
I have known Gergo for quite a few years, a true Master.
Another master (for me at least) is Kirk Covington. I would love to see you do a video featuring him. Thanks for this cool video!!
Thanks Harrie!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums has Covington alredy been featured on your channel?
Uh! Man I love funk. It can not only move, but re-move. And this re-moved my head from my shoulders. Ka-pow!
HAHA love it!
Awesome! So glad that this music is being kept alive. I know longer listen to the radio for the most part because I hate what's being played
5:13 ... Gergo hits the ride cymbal and then 5:14 stops deliberately for an INCREDIBLE CHOP! WOW He is INCREDIBLE! Dennis Chambers in the last episode and at the end of his performance of Zildjian Live gives Gergo a huge thank for what He does in this performance.

this was my favorite part of the whole video not even kidding hahaha

This was excellent!!!! I had to look him up before I watched....was excited to see someone jazzy/fusion.....
Excellent!
Loved every moment... fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The only thing that comes to mind is: With great power comes great responsibility. Dude has insane chops and a super tight groove to back it up.
HAHA! Love it!
DAAAAAAAMN... Just impeccable.

Nevermind about being dupped, this was a blessing of an entire band performance.like cappadona, chops just right
