    1:25 The no look double cymbal hit, and grab, while not missing a beat that follows it immediately is next level. Sugarfoot is an unbelievably talented drummer. The confidence level behind the kit is definitely tough to match.

    As soon as the beat started up you can see his facial expression change to all business. Awesome cymbal grabs. Beat was dead on, not over playing. This is a lesson for all future drummer's. You don't have to fit in a bunch of fills to sound great. Once again great video.

      Michigan Matt well, it depends on the intention. As a drummer, I will play even such an easy thing but if we/I need a more interesting composition, I add stuff as I see drums equal to all instruments. It works in here but tracks like R U Mine? would be nothing without the syncopation courtesy of Matt Helders ;)

    • @UltraCodex66
      @UltraCodex66 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Scott Whittle ye but just because it's pop it doesn't mean you can't have something more. Fills are obvious but I personally would, for example, try to use the whole note triplet divisions to create a back-beat. Check out Clocks, when Chris sings with that kind of beat underneath, it sounds like he's moving further
