For the past 2-3 years I keep coming back to this video. This is a beautifully orchestrated, musical drum part and expertly executed. Does anyone know what the backing track is or where to get it?
Great drumming. I met Wolfgang when he came to Perú some years ago. Great guy and amazing drummer. That kit sounds great and looks even better. Congratulations. If somebody could tell me if that rack tom is a 12x8" or a 12x9"? Thanks a lot. Luis Fernando Quintanilla
I'm just curious but is there a certain technique on crashing on cymbals... i.e. do you sweep the crash like not doing a straight hit like you would on hi-hats... or is the technique simply up to you and how you want you hit the cymbal?? I'm only curious cuz I bought some good cymbals and I don't wanna break them from poor technique
Finally, a clip of premium drums with someone who actually knows how to play them. Top notch skills man, well done.....Thanks! Too many clips of $5000 kits being played by people who don't know how to replace a head.
You pretty much just have to have a Résumé/Press kit of what gigs,studio sessions,clinics,etc. you've done and events you're scheduled to do in the future and send it to Yamaha's Artists and Relations.
bonjour , qui pourrai me donner les titres et dans quel album figure c'est deux titre de ce batteur allemand je crois ? son nom est : WOLFGANG HAFFNER : merci d'avance ...
Meinl is great company, constantly growing and improving. I bought dark HiHat and ride and I'm verry satisfied. I need to try this crashes, think that they will be my next purchase :) And yeah Yamaha PHX is really great. DW is not alone in hi end drum market :)
No you can't really say his drumming is average if you researched the other drummers that have played for the artists that Wolfgang has also had the chance to play for....he can play pocket as this clip demonstrated but he can easily solo someone's face off if he wants to.
If you even think that he is not a good drummer check on youtube a music from Metro - Bing Bang Boom. The studio version. The drumming of Wolfgang Haffner is out of this world.
You would think for a demonstration video they'd put way more time into recording this - better mics some eq work...they don't even have their subkick on the bass drums. There's people with better sounding sets doing home studio work on youtube - come on Yamaha....you guys make the best drums in the world - SHOW EVERYONE!
I'm saying, that's what I want to see. I know all about the other drummers and the artists. I'm sure he can solo with the big boys, as I've seen and heard him with jazz groups, even an afro-cuban style group, and he smashed. This clip however, was pure cheese, from the backing track sounds to the tom sounds. But I know what you're saying, there's no doubt he's a great drummer. This clip just isn't the best example.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL If he was "okay" he wouldn't be getting called to play on records for Jazz giants like Joe Sample or the Brecker Brothers or to do a simple demo on Yamaha's flagline drums....
No one sems to have booming type of sound in bass drums anymore. It's just that tight studio snap that you can get from almost any drum regardless the price. I just don't like that "small" sound, overused nowadays. The toms sounded like they had been tuned too low. The voices were hollow and dull. If this video was meant to testify the exellence of sound, then they didn't convince me. Still, I belive that Yamaha makes great drums.
That's cool if those are your thoughts. As a drummer who knows music, I can tell you that he's good, just not impressive. Obviously, pocket pays the bills. Can't hate on that, but I can say that the drumming is average.
Why do the toms sound so crappy? Kick isn´t great eighter - must be a recording issue, can´t be Wolfgangs fault and the drumset can´t be that bad eighter.
@spacitydrummer4JC I've never really liked the sound of Meinl cymbals. But if they offered me money and an unlimited supply.... Call me Dieter Schwartzkopf!! Where do I sign?!!!
Aha! This is typical of the style of Wolfgang Haffner: straight to the point and yet very colourful. Or better said: just serving the necessities the song required, while adding the right amount of sparkle! I have to say that I don't like the sound of the toms...
no doubt a good drummer...just not impressive as a solo drummer video. He's showing us how to play on the gig, but this is one of those instances where he should really show some chops.
Does anyone else think this is kinda whack? Toms sound like doo doo. Cymbals sound great. He's not really killin as a drummer, he's ok, average....we can all do that.
wolfgang haffner is so precise yet so groovy. i totally love this guys style and approach. the kit sounds very nice indeed.
Awesome job! This is a great example of how a drummer serves the music by playing a great groove and staying out of the way.
For the past 2-3 years I keep coming back to this video. This is a beautifully orchestrated, musical drum part and expertly executed. Does anyone know what the backing track is or where to get it?
Welcome to Gran Turismo garage!
just rigth
hahah, yes!
that kit sounds so damn good!!
i love his grooves, one of my favourite drummers by far... I want that byzance dry ride so much!
Great drumming. I met Wolfgang when he came to Perú some years ago. Great guy and amazing drummer.
That kit sounds great and looks even better. Congratulations.
If somebody could tell me if that rack tom is a 12x8" or a 12x9"?
Thanks a lot.

i never thought i'd see meinl cymbals on yamaha drums! they sound amazing, both the drums and the cymbals!
Really good cymbal demo.
I love yamaha!!! Wish I could endorse thier products!!!
he strikes everything so perfectly
Man, its sounds relaxing to hear this song. I wonder wat kinda genre music is that?
Fusion?
The snare sounds great!
@drumnmarc Meinl Byzance, crashes and hi-hat are Jazz... I'm not exactly sure about the ride, I think it's dark though
where can you get the backing track? awesome music
Anybody here yet?? 2021🙋🏻♂️
I'm just curious but is there a certain technique on crashing on cymbals... i.e. do you sweep the crash like not doing a straight hit like you would on hi-hats... or is the technique simply up to you and how you want you hit the cymbal??

Wolfgang Haffner one of the best ...

Nice kit.
I like the ride cymbal :D
Wolfgang rocks!
Yamaha, Can you or anyone please tell me what cymbals are used in this recording? Model and size?
All the best!
bonjour , qui pourrai me donner les titres et dans quel album figure c'est deux titre de ce batteur allemand je crois ?
son nom est : WOLFGANG HAFFNER : merci d'avance ...
the best drumkit ever!
I'm digging the 4 on the floor vibe🥁
Wao I like that sounds is incredible!!!
30-degree rounded bearing edges. Stealing from Gretsch!!! Oh the humanity. These drums sound great.
Great drumming by Haffner.
the the kick and cymbals are awesome. Toms arent selling me. However that said, wolfgang sells the kit man. DANG he grooves. HARD
live ist er noch viel besser, einfach unglaublich!!!
j'adore grave, bon feeling le drummer la classe et surtout trés bon compositeur et musicalité étant batteur moi même . et la batterie yamaha et top
where can i get the first groove of the video??
Meinl is great company, constantly growing and improving. I bought dark HiHat and ride and I'm verry satisfied. I need to try this crashes, think that they will be my next purchase :)
And yeah Yamaha PHX is really great. DW is not alone in hi end drum market :)
Someone has to let me know what these exact cymbals are! I want to get them! Please let me know.
Looks 12x8 to me. I really like this kits unique sound, similarly like the 40th anniversary kit.
what kind of cymbals is he using?
Simple and effective! I like it!
How do u get endorsed by Yamaha
@LucasGiorgetta ???
I love Yamaha Drums, I love my Gigmaker drum... Yamaha the best
what the name of first music?
Lol. I payed more attention to the cymbals. Am I the only one awed by Meinl excellence?
No you can't really say his drumming is average if you researched the other drummers that have played for the artists that Wolfgang has also had the chance to play for....he can play pocket as this clip demonstrated but he can easily solo someone's face off if he wants to.
now that was a tasty jam
love yamaha
Is it me or does the rack tom sound a bit "off"?
If you even think that he is not a good drummer check on youtube a music from Metro - Bing Bang Boom. The studio version. The drumming of Wolfgang Haffner is out of this world.
Kiefer Sutherland?
Gotta upload higher than 360p - audio has that weird data compression thing going on.
Awesome!
Briljant sound
@aqpdrummer no its deffinatly 12" x 8"
Beautiful fill at 1:14 !!! :)
@dingdingbong1 I think you are right. Thanks.
You would think for a demonstration video they'd put way more time into recording this - better mics some eq work...they don't even have their subkick on the bass drums.
There's people with better sounding sets doing home studio work on youtube - come on Yamaha....you guys make the best drums in the world - SHOW EVERYONE!
at 3;13 ...why do i picture a travel show featuring brazilian woman frolicking on the beach at rio de janeiro ?...
Never hear a bass drum with this nerve, its wild and sexy, too bad PHX is done, and the drummer is sweeeet !
I'm saying, that's what I want to see. I know all about the other drummers and the artists. I'm sure he can solo with the big boys, as I've seen and heard him with jazz groups, even an afro-cuban style group, and he smashed.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL If he was "okay" he wouldn't be getting called to play on records for Jazz giants like Joe Sample or the Brecker Brothers or to do a simple demo on Yamaha's flagline drums....
Sounds like something you would hear on a Gran Turismo 5 menu.
I can imagine listening to this while playing Mario Kart, lol!
I just finish listening to Dave Weckl on the PHX set, & I'm sorry but this guy just aint cutting it 4 me! 3:11 Gran Turismo music.
Didn't know Jack Bauer was such a kickass drummer!
I don't see how anybody would be able to get down...or get up to this music..hahaha
I recently bought a new tama kit.. but if I had the money.. :P
@Ramen1020 Oh man... I like all the darks. All byzance cymbals are amazing. I would say that Meinl is clearly the best cymbal makers there are now.
it's gonna be an extra dry medium ride!
@wags155 I know right! I want it too! :DD
@uy12umaine No the stagg sounds like Meinl
exelente suond biennn
1:54 is genius
oh yezzzzz....
@aqpdrummer looks 12x8 to me
Not dissing the kit or anything but.... If I'm spending 5 grand on a kit it sure as Hell isn't gonna be solid White.
jordan owns and records with more ludwig drums than he does yamaha. sorry for having an opinion. any other arguments not worth making?
@BobbyCarr57 Meinl Byzance series
@aqpdrummer I'd say 12-9
No one sems to have booming type of sound in bass drums anymore. It's just that tight studio snap that you can get from almost any drum regardless the price.

If this video was meant to testify the exellence of sound, then they didn't convince me. Still, I belive that Yamaha makes great drums.
the crash sounded lot like a stagg sh thin crash
some jamiroquai
Meinl FTW
That's cool if those are your thoughts. As a drummer who knows music, I can tell you that he's good, just not impressive. Obviously, pocket pays the bills. Can't hate on that, but I can say that the drumming is average.
I'm sorry?
It's great, just missing Evans heads with Sabian cymbal.
Why do the toms sound so crappy?
Kick isn´t great eighter - must be a recording issue, can´t be Wolfgangs fault and the drumset can´t be that bad eighter.
@pipapoist maybe I should look into playing drums for pornos haha.
@aqpdrummer
12x8
In the pocket
@spacitydrummer4JC I've never really liked the sound of Meinl cymbals. But if they offered me money and an unlimited supply.... Call me Dieter Schwartzkopf!! Where do I sign?!!!

Nice cymbal demo thanks meinl!!
Oh damn i'm actually watching a yamaha drums product video.
stupids!
Came here for a drum demo and all I got was a cymbals. Lame. Yamaha has the worst demos of any company. Their drums deserve better.
agreed. drums sound terrible.
Nice playing but terrible tom-sound!
no doubt a good drummer...just not impressive as a solo drummer video. He's showing us how to play on the gig, but this is one of those instances where he should really show some chops.
blah blah blah.
Does anyone else think this is kinda whack? Toms sound like doo doo. Cymbals sound great. He's not really killin as a drummer, he's ok, average....we can all do that.
