Fantastic. Love that for such a driven track that there is still great attention to dynamics. The guitar player kind of kills the groove a bit though imo. Rhythm section was super on it. Great stuff!
Really tasty drummer -- but I'm yet more amazed (and mystified) at the sleek video production and pricey studio location devoted to him. What alternative universe of Jazz is this? Who's got this kind of money to throw around? Every Jazz drummer I know, including plenty who are exactly this level, are barely making rent, even with day jobs eating up most of their lives! So...what's up here, exactly?
Dominic Ruiz - Man, if they've got that kind of monetary faith in Jazz drumming, they certainly aren't looking at the same musical environment I see all around me. Sign me up! Lol 😆
Jazz drumming is such a nuanced art form
The style where theese cymbals really shine
One of my favorite modern drummers! He needs to be more popular!
This blows my mind!!!! Absolutely phenomenal drumming obviously. And that snare drum!!! That’s one of the best snare drum sounds I’ve ever heard.
I love how crazy jazz can get and it's not easy to have that mind set and keep the flow
It's cool to hear him play over his dad's music. His pops is on the guitar.
I really like that 22" Monophonic Ride!
Such nice dynamics. Great touch.
Damn that snare! Awesome playing and cymbals too
Beautiful! Meinl has always captured my interest. From my early metal head days with Jason Bitner up to when I discovered Benny Greb and beyond!
So much joy in his playing 💪
1:44 That lick combo on guitar though...
I just love whenever he swings
pure eargarsm.
can listen him swing all day long.

Jazz will always be jazz. Killer performance!

The thing about Mark jr is that his dad is on guitar and his brother piano on these tracks - beasts

I can already see him in a big band, 70 years later. Old happy man and his kit.
Damn. That was subtle and tasteful.
Fantastic. Love that for such a driven track that there is still great attention to dynamics.

It’s Meinl’s work. They record all their drummers in this studio with just as much production value.
