Part 2 -Nathaniel Townsley stopped by Triple Colossal Studios in Hoboken New Jersey to play some drums! Nathaniel is using his GMS Special Edition USA Custom Shop drums.
No need to say a word about his unique skills - what makes me adore his playing is intelligence. He is able to tell a story, he has melody , harmony and colours. Don't know any comparable drummer .
+FrancescoGuardi it seems to me he came out of dave weckl (when weckl played with balls, in early 90´s, late 80´s ... ) weckl also told the story and made harmonies and colors ...
it´s fine ..... my fave is Gary Novak, ´cause has his own chops, fills, more jazzy, bebop, funk-ish .... so is Nat ... Nat is sooo precise, tight, perfect .... I used to love weckl, but not in these days ... lost lots of "tight" ideas, fills (because is focused more on grubber´s moeller fluent motion/rebound method)
it´s always good to talk to somebody about music and analyze concrete theme, methods ... it´s always good ... e Italiano, parlo un po´ ... cominco a imparare da mezzo anno da solo, salute de la repubblica ceca
Agreed a innovator .....Born with Sticks in his hands ............Truely a Gift in Delvelopment for the Rest of Nathes life . Awesome player a inspiriation to all Serious Drummers including Me thx Nathe hope you come to Toronto Canada Sometime Soon !
Nathaniel Townsley is my favorite drummer the whole world bar none! No other drummer plays with such creativity & taste. Very interesting playing and never predictable like too many drummers are.
It's just me or this sounded like true music? Not drum solo. Nathaniel is amazing. Yeah, it's not just me the dude below said everything. Melody, harmony and color.
This is unequivocally my favorite drummer and has been for years. Masterful.

+miles 178 Maybe you're right. But I've never been fascinated by Weckl like I'm by Townsley...
