It's cause Jazz drummers have hella solid techniques, jazz drumming is pretty insane sometimes man. I mean, some jazz drummers do tricks with 1 single foot that a lot o metal drummers can't even do with two.

Dude you smashed it outta the park, so sick to see a different take, the skills bro
the snappy jazz snare lowkey sounds so good for this lol
I know!! but, not even Low Key though, Lamb of God's drummers signature snare is a piccolo and remember the early 2000s, every band had this snare sound.
@@DruNature slipknot in the early days when Joey was still in tbe band.
Snappy snares sound good with alot of stuff honestly. I'm surprised it doesn't get used more
its nice and tight.
The lesson here is:
"Kids, don't ever ever skip leg day. Legs will carry you to most utterly heavy sixteenth triplet-y of places"
Very nice Zack, luv u
Yeah, I have been play double bass for like almost 5 months and I still can’t go as fast or as clean as he did in a day
fuckin same
Omg you made death core groovy 🤟🤘🤘🤘 love the sound of your snare
Wow was not expecting that out of you amazing simply amazing bro
'It's chain action rather than, like, a trigger pad'
Hold tight everyone, that's an expert right there 😳
underrated comment :D
Typical GC employees lol. Every now and then there’s someone in the guitar or recording department that knows their stuff but I’ve yet to meet anyone in the drum section that has a clue about anything.
Hi I'm a guitarist who doesn't know everything about drums, why is this wrong? 😅
@@RanDieBam Trigger pad, sounds like some sort of button to me
@@RanDieBam Main types of pedal are Direct drive, chain drive, or belt drive. Same as motorcycles. To mention trigger pads whilst looking at a set of manual pedals is a disgrace for an employee
“The famous band termina” that was either a jab or compliment
Definitely a compliment. Love those dudes
I mean they should be famous
Nik is everywhere 🤣🤣
they're pretty famous by death core standards lol
@@lucacomeglio9129 They're actually pretty underground for Deathcore standards lol
nah man you absolutely killed it. the chops are fucking insane yo
“I was just chillin out, watching some Lana Rhoades”
We really not gon talk about that, huh?
Yup😂😂😂😂
I SPRINTED to the comments to see if anyone else was gonna talk about that
It took me a little bit to figure that out
In NNN too nonetheless
I was gonna point that out
lmao my mind assumed he said lana del rey and didnt flinch
"prepare to cringe"
*proceeds to cover the track like a boss*
For reals, though. This is so good!
This was great, loved the hell out of it man!
You killed it bro well done 🤘🏽
Jazz ghost notes + metal drumming = Mario Duplantier
This guy is awesome!
Can you teach me how to fly?
@@HeavyRaiden I'd love to move slowly in the air.

France represent !
Dude, love this video. As a metal drummer myself I loved seeing this. Its refreshing to see someone with your CHOPS "struggle" on anything. The gravity was a neat little added bit. Bro. A few months of practice and you'd kill it. Guaranteed. I can CRUSH most core songs, but I am a fucking fish out of water playing jazz. For not playing this type of music you did great. Cheers brother!
Thanks a lot for checking it out bro :’) kiss
@@ZackGrooves Was my pleasure... 😘
4:51 this face told me something good was gonna happen. The next few seconds take you for a ride. This was sick.
Chops 6:28
Agreed completely, holy shit you nailed it like 90%. I've played in hardcore bands for years and still could maybe touch about 75% of this. Fuck yeah dude.
That was actually pretty badass bro. Solid shit 🤘🤘
I keep returning to this. There's just something about that jazz snap, and those CHOPS in deathcore that feels right.
“Mistakes and all”
Spoken like a true musician: the only one to know where they even are haha
"Mistakes were made. Lives were lost."
It's not the first time I've heard jazz drumming in metal but everytime I heard it, it's always damn refreshing.
im a jazzist and the first time i listened to metal i thought they were using gunshot samples for drums and this just sounds way nicer on the ear tbh
@@pollosasadosalcarbon From what it sounds like, some metal songs use samples. The programming used is v cut and dry, no dynamics and whatnot.
*ahem* Bill Ward
That was actually fire dude. Great job!
Seriously we need more Jazz-Deathcore crossovers. This was so amazing💚
He’s like “yeah im gonna stink” then proceeds to play better than I could if i tried😂
Next video: jazz drummer covers "Bleed" by meshuggah
Clockworks....
His legs:
guess i'll die
Jazz drummer bleeds while covering Meshuggah.
PLLLLLEASE!!
Right in the deep water baby 🤘🏿
I really like the those fills that was slightly behind the track but hit right on time on the 1. It added so much depth to those parts.
Hes right about jazz drummers. Your guys sheer precision and holy crap the dynamics I've seen jazz drummers displaying, nothing short of outfucking standing.
As a guitar player and someone who can’t play the drums, this was sick af.
As a guitarist who can do metal drumming; This right there was a masterpiece. Every metal band in the fucking world would want this.
As a drummer who can't play that technical, that was sick
imagine the spin he would throw on a metal track as a jazz drummer!!!
Same.. makes me wanna pick up playing the kit
Yeah, this dude is sick af! Guitar player here too, lol
I'm not saying anything, but
3:21
your words speak volumes to the community
Yesses kkkj
I dont get it
@@williamzhang970
You lucky bastard
I think I get it now, is it the PH theme? The double kicks confused me
Pretty good for your first metal encounter. I don’t play jazz but it’s cool to see how your jazz experience transferred to metal! Great job man
Those jazz fills are to clean. This lifelong metalhead loves this
I love this. Death/Jazz fusion is the next wave.
check out chris turner !!
Atheist be like
I still like Jared Dines fake genre of Djazz
Calculating Infinity says hello...
Its called Djent my friend
His drums still sounds jazzy. How cool is that fusion
Right? What an interesting sound. Though today the whole kit would be sampled and compressed out of existence on the album.
I think the drums he has are inherently also more jazzy in their sound. Drums have their own feel along with their look. And it's minute but they do be different.
Sick chops and sick footwork - a sick badass!!!
That’s all good man ... love the jazz influences....well done 🤘🤘
This was actually extremely satisfying to say not bad at all.
