over 3 years later, this drum solo is still one of the most virtuosic, musical and mind-blowing feats to be accomplished by anyone in the 21st century... time to start transcribing!
I've watched this video at least twice a month for the last year. I will never get tired of it, the first line at 1:35 and the fill at 1:51 are the two coolest licks ever put to drums.
Every time I come back and watch this it's like an adrenaline shot to the fucking eyeballs. This is one of the most exciting moments of my life, every single goddamn time I watch it.
Just wanted to leave a short note. I was writing early childhood music curriculum this morning and was creatively stuck on a point. I came to this video for inspiration. After watching it twice, I am no longer stuck. Thank you Mark
it was 17 years ago sinc i saw this guy playng in banska stiavnica (slovakia) with avishai trio in old churche. still remember as one of the best live performances ever in my life. un f believable!
I have his Heernt cd, that has great music and killer drumming! But seeing him play is nothing like that, it's better!! Definitly one of my inspirations, alongside Matt Chamberlain.
@iialves I totally agree. What kind of person goes out of their way to give a video of people playing and sharing music a thumbs down? Oh, well. This video made me happy.
7/8, though I can't hear or feel it like that. I split it into 2 sections. The first has 16 beats, and the second has 12. I never actively count it when I'm listening or playing to it.
What are you talking about? It is strictly in 7. Not "variable" whatsoever. Almost all music with any kind of pulse is metered, so I'm not sure where you're coming from with the "classical age" comment.
well, the cymbal crash is exactly 1 beat early if that's what you're referring to. It COULD be intentional, but he did look a little surprised after it. Not really important IMO...the energy is so insane and it doesnt phase anyone whatsoever, it just keeps building and getting progressively more insane
@vinnienickoloff90 Are we watching the same video? The arc of that solo was so unbelievably well crafted, not to mention his phrasing is nuts. Granted, he's not as clear with his phrasing as a drummer like max roach, but he's also going for a completely different sound. As far as self-control goes, all those ghost notes on the snare are perfectly in the grid. This guy has way more self-control than most drummers I've heard that are his age.
This guy *totally* reminds me of Keith Moon. His face, his posture, this expressive way of beating the crap out of each single part of his drumset. I really, really like that! :)
@TheAtariJenkins Whoops, I thought your comment was a negative one, saying that all he is doing is playing rudiments. Well we both agree then that he is awesome.
Wow.
I reckon over 5ish years I've watched this 200+ times. Edit; it's 2022 now, still coming back
haha same here! never gets old
The same. I can't stop to watch it !!!
I've been returning to this since 2011. In that year I reckon I watched it 50+ times at least. So many phrases in it built into my psyche.
Lol yup, such an incredible solo.
Yes, its been since about 2008-9nish for me
17 years or so on, still my favourite drum solo on TH-cam.
I think this is the best drum solo ever performed.
I know right!? I still come back to this vid.
15 years after I first saw this video and it's still the best drum solo I've ever seen. Absolutely ridiculous
The way he understand the idea and how he develop it later, makes this solo something unique.
This is the most innovative and incredible drum solo I have ever seen. This man is brimming on a new frontier of percussion.
over 3 years later, this drum solo is still one of the most virtuosic, musical and mind-blowing feats to be accomplished by anyone in the 21st century... time to start transcribing!
I have come here every now and then for over 10 years. I like how raw and emotional this solo is.
it's absolutely overflowing with creativity and life-force
This is one of the most impressive drummers that I've discovered for years!!!
One of the best drum solos I have seen in a very long time. Awesome and so much respect ❤🎶
I've watched this video at least twice a month for the last year. I will never get tired of it, the first line at 1:35 and the fill at 1:51 are the two coolest licks ever put to drums.
Totally agree! 1.51 is so classy!
Every time I come back and watch this it's like an adrenaline shot to the fucking eyeballs. This is one of the most exciting moments of my life, every single goddamn time I watch it.
ten years later this solo is still fucking incredible
Just wanted to leave a short note. I was writing early childhood music curriculum this morning and was creatively stuck on a point. I came to this video for inspiration. After watching it twice, I am no longer stuck. Thank you Mark
Yes. I always come back to this...when I want to show people the best drummer they never heard of, I show them this video.

I'm listening it over and over again. Fantastic!
it was 17 years ago sinc i saw this guy playng in banska stiavnica (slovakia) with avishai trio in old churche. still remember as one of the best live performances ever in my life. un f believable!

This is quite possibly the best thing on the internet. BRILLIANT!
Sure !
he is propably my favourite drummer! so awesome. seen him live twice, awesome every time :D
I started foaming at the mouth amazing solo
I was waiting for the flames to start shooting out. I'm pretty sure that I saw a couple wisps of smoke around 40 seconds before the end.
indeed he is!
Beautifull sounds, creative beats!!!!
You are unbelievably good. Congratulations
truly inspiring
Oh my…. Mind bending funky rhythms
A GENIOUS
Mark Guiliana is my favourite drummer!
mad respect
...speechless. All I can say is wo damn
Crazy. Galing!
i wish i understood rhythm like that. i've never really watched a drummer before and felt the need to cry.
dude this is insane
That was amazing!
one of your best
Now THAT is how you build a drum solo!
Holy crap 📿 💩 that was amazing
Does anyone know the time signature ? Anyway thx for sharing and thanks Mark for you wonderful drums and the inspiration they provide!!!!
7/4
I have his Heernt cd, that has great music and killer drumming!
But seeing him play is nothing like that, it's better!! Definitly one of my inspirations, alongside Matt Chamberlain.
@iialves
I totally agree. What kind of person goes out of their way to give a video of people playing and sharing music a thumbs down?
Oh, well. This video made me happy.
Hey, here's fodder for debate...who's better, him or Chris Dave?
What is the time signature for this ?
7/8, though I can't hear or feel it like that. I split it into 2 sections. The first has 16 beats, and the second has 12. I never actively count it when I'm listening or playing to it.
AWESOME
Holy shit! Awesomeness!
omg! just insane.
Does anyone know what kind of shirt he's using?
Josh Stadlen -- haha, exactly... And which aftershave?
these three minutes of music are justification enough for an entire life spent preparing for them
it is most definitely avishai cohen (the trumpet player). there are two avishai's trumpet player and bass player
What are you talking about? It is strictly in 7. Not "variable" whatsoever. Almost all music with any kind of pulse is metered, so I'm not sure where you're coming from with the "classical age" comment.
Great!!!
great!

your totally right. I watched a much better video with better quality. He is great. How old is he?
@vinnienickoloff90 Are we watching the same video? The arc of that solo was so unbelievably well crafted, not to mention his phrasing is nuts. Granted, he's not as clear with his phrasing as a drummer like max roach, but he's also going for a completely different sound.

that is just so good man...I don't know what to say :o
Uhhhhh are those cross sticked blastbeats at 1:25???
MADNEEESS!!!
What was that at 2:28!!!!!!!Good Golly
3.02 "WHAAAAT!" ahahah AWesome solo
It's all about feeling and getting it. That's all.
SNAAAAPPPPPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
totally dude. well put
This guy *totally* reminds me of Keith Moon. His face, his posture, this expressive way of beating the crap out of each single part of his drumset. I really, really like that! :)
Super!
Pure NASTYNESS!!! Wow!!!
Variable. Why the need for a set time sig? What age are you living in? Classical? lol
Heard this for the first time in 2018 on instagram was like hoooly shiiiiiit
The best
What time signature is this in?
insane
killin'
@jazzmessenger8 Yeah, I know. But this dude clearly put some time and effort into practicing them. Chops like that just don't fall from the sky.
genius, genius, genius
@TheAtariJenkins Whoops, I thought your comment was a negative one, saying that all he is doing is playing rudiments. Well we both agree then that he is awesome.
the most amazing left hand in the world
@vinnienickoloff90 He's in his early 30's. You should check out his playing with Avishai Cohen, his playing is always so tasteful
Was he gravity blasting the rim?
I want to write an essay about this solo.
No. This was in reply to a person who made the comment,
"...Definitely one of my inspirations, alongside Matt Chamberlain."
i wanna see someone do a drum cover to this
did he finish 2 early at 2:01
2:27... He really do it!!
where am i.
this is furious.
Mark Guiliana is the boss!
Mark Guiliana needs a fucking excorcist to get rid off those crazy ass chops. Christ almighty what a drummer he is.
Best, Sandemose
Just a baaaaaby…melting faces.
totally crazy
I think he broke his hand 😂😂
definitely sliced a chunk of his hand right at the end. killen none the less.

He's Jazz's reckoning.
