@@guille7545 "chops" is when you have a musician that is primarily interested in using music to show-off their own talent, as opposed to musicians who lend their talents in service to the music. When you have a musician playing music that is too complex and complicated, to the point where it's not necessarily enjoyable to listen to, specifically BECAUSE it's complex and complicated.
@@lewiswood9286 That's a little disingenuous. Chops specifically refer to the primary skill that an instrument requires. The embouchure of a saxophonist and the speed of the articulation in their hands or (in this case) a drummers coordination and accuracy of rhythm, for example. In the beginning the player's "chops" are weak, their embouchure isn't precise or they can't play fast passages accurately. Over time, people "build their chops." Get better. What Simon was saying is that if everyone was playing as physically complex and as strenuous to their chops as possible, it wouldn't be musical. Imagine instead of this drum groove, he was playing blazing fast drum fills constantly. No matter how accurate his rhythm was, it wouldn't've sounded good. Even though it would have been more impressive on a technical standpoint, it wouldn't have fit the tone of Jacob Collier's playing.
Josh Turner Guitar COLLAB And I know that's probably a toxic word to some people, but you and David grooving on Guitar or Guitar/drums would be amazing!!
So. Fucking. Smooth. It's like you understand how drums should add to music on a whole other level than other musicians. Not too equal to the rhythm of the rest of the music, but sharing enough of even the weird beats to just blend in with it completely and naturally.
@Caleb wow, dude was just complementing the man on his skills on the drums, you didn't got be a dick about it. Yeah there are other good drummers and everything, but damn, you don't gotta be a dick
Wow, extremely sophisticated and mature playing.. You never interrupt the integrity of Jacobs playing.. You obviously have the chops and technique to be able to impose your ability wherever but your playing allowed the song to breathe and flow. That’s as savvy as you can get as drummer.
You know...when somebody is so good at doing something, and you appreciate them with such an intensity that it starts to piss you off evntually. That's how I feel about Dockery. Like... How dare you be this good.
I once saw someone comment that everything you play is one or two notches in intensity above whatever you're playing along to, and I think this has a case of that
What amazes me most of this drum cover is just how tight it is with what jacob collier is playing. Goes to show you have a truly great ear and listen! Love your drumming man! Hope to see you here in Chile.
YES. Oh god, this is exactly what I needed after having a shit week. One of my favorite drummers playing over my favorite musician overall. Fuckin cheers man this is top notch
He has a QA video where he confirmst it's just a zoom recorder or something. Might have changed things up later, but I'm pretty sure it was that around this time.
What's impressive is that he's actually successfully integrating the drummer's natural habit that says: HIT EVERYTHING ON THE KIT ALL THE TIME and also keeping time and turning it into a groove. That's legit difficult - 90% of the time you just fuck up the song repeatedly because the voice told you to add another 8 drum taps into that one bar but it turns out you just threw your own rhythm off and now you're off-time. Well done this man.
Almost two years or so following you and I'm still amazed of the nice and original taste you have. Enhorabuena desde España, colega. Keep the good stuff and try to record all your masterpieces with the best audio quality possible, please! 😃
I really had my doubts about this. But wow! It takes guts to even atempt to keep up with JC. You showed not only guts but great talent and discipline. Bravo Sir.
I was brought here through the original Jacob Collier video and was a bit sceptical when I read the title. But what you add to the insane perdormance is just wow. As if you were meant for playing together. Your version is my new favorite.
As if Jacob's incredible performance wasn't enough, enter David. I have no words, other than let me pick my jaw up off the floor. Completely insane! Loved this!
not sure if I'm more impressed with how you do it, or what you do... truly amazing stuff, such good taste, everything sounds as if there's no better way to do it. Perfect!
Great. You re a great drum player. Collier is a genius. I hope you will play live with him. Really good groove. I love the groove at 4.31. At the beginning... well I'm dancing with it🙂
I was listening to the original and thinking this just needs some groovy drums and bass. Then I saw this thumbnail and I can say that we are very satisfactorily half way there.
Legend said it's Matt Gartska whom a metronome had to keep in time.. *..but I guess the legend was totally wrong, because actually the time itself has to keep in time with this man.. A drummer, an unsung hero!*
that was awesome. gives it a different feel. second chorus admittedly is pretty hard and it's hard to project structure there, but you still hit it out of the ballpark.
It is ridiculous how natural your drumming sounds with this. It's like you were playing together!
@mozak plesa I'm hearing the bassline here. Either there is a bass player or the mixing is making the piano bass notes hit right. But it's there!
G Man yeah it’s one of Yamahas new self playing piano
@mozak plesa This song is perfect already, doesn't need guitar :D
Music is a universal language, these two speak it well

Any drummer doing chops all the time is a waste of sticks.
What does chops mean

This guy is obnoxiously good at drums
Bass!
Haha is that an Adam Neely reference?
Solid reference
Mmhmm
👆I understood that reference
So god damn good.
Ohhh yeah Josh!!! Just saw your When i'm sixtyfour gypsy cover:)
Amazing! Shoutout from Denmark! 🇩🇰

Holy heck good to see you here
for real tho what bands do you play in and why is it not all of them
When I went to see Mark Guiliana he was the drummer of the support band, they're called SENU! It was such a lovely surprise
Troy O'Brien Where can I find SENUs music??
@@troyoobrien Damn, opening for Mark Guiliana is some serious clout.
@@ajamu1915 There's nothing out there at the moment but there's an album coming soonish!

@@nuberiffic me?
@@sammy135_ ah, thought you made the original comment. NM
JACOB HAS TO SEE THIS!!
MuhFriendd let’s make it happen
Agree!
he probably did. he supports many music youtubers on patreon and he probably watches other videos too once in a while.
He saw it. It is on his liked videos playlist
Someone needs to add a bass part to this and make it sound PHAT!
on it
@@atreyurenaud515 yo are you still on it?
Ginger Bassist yeah, what happened to that
The piano bassline is tight asf
We need @davie504
Does wearing a Casio while you play help you keep time?
Lmfaoooo
Underrated comment lmaoo
Can confirm. I just program my watch and I can't miss a beat. Not as good as the rectonome though.
Dude, corny as fuck, but I like your style
Lulz das wassa gud wan men!
I have no idea how long this must have taken you, but I’m so glad it’s here. This shit SLAPS
But does it fingerstyle?
@@poockoo OMG
This one just displaced Pepe Silvia as my favorite drum take of yours. Dang this is solid.
That cover is probably my most watched video on TH-cam, but it is soon to be surpassed by this incredible accompaniment. No words.
2 legends
Mikasacus woah,
do more dot please dude
hello mika
Damn, wasn’t expecting to see you here
Damn, as Victor Wooten once said, you can't hold no groove if you ain't got no pocket, great video, keep up the good work!
Are you imagining Victor saying that to himself in that song? 😄
amazing performance, respect.
Oh hey Davis
The drumming makes this cover so better, would rather listen to this video.
I love how melodic the drums sound.
The hop back into the pocket at 4:10 is amazing
That’s what you call “the money pickup.” Emitt Rhodes-level snatch.✨
Seriously one of my favorite things on the whole internet
Wow, extremely sophisticated and mature playing..
You never interrupt the integrity of Jacobs playing..
You obviously have the chops and technique to be able to impose your ability wherever but your playing allowed the song to breathe and flow.
That’s as savvy as you can get as drummer.
HAVE NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO FASTER
Edit: okay, actually watched it now. My new FAVORITE video of yours. That fill at 1:55...otherworldly.
I know, right? Right after this I had to stop the video. I could not stop laughing. Such good fill!
I just finished reading this when it got to that part
You know...when somebody is so good at doing something, and you appreciate them with such an intensity that it starts to piss you off evntually.
That's how I feel about Dockery.
Like...
How dare you be this good.
Simon Mitchell espcially when you trying so hard to be good and youre not even close yet
Let me guess... you’re an avid fan 😂
Wow. I hope Jacob sees this and gets in touch because this *really* complements his cover.
tight, groovy, creative, smooth, chops.... this guy has it all. Well done, bud.
I once saw someone comment that everything you play is one or two notches in intensity above whatever you're playing along to, and I think this has a case of that
It’s amazing how in time Jacob is. Throwing polyrhythms into his piano, it’s nuts.
The drumming is very well composed.
2:56
who knows the feeling when they mute a cymbal, but then realize that they didn't even touch it :D
that's how you know he is really into it!
Hot damn he shoulda taken you on tour... this is fire
What amazes me most of this drum cover is just how tight it is with what jacob collier is playing. Goes to show you have a truly great ear and listen! Love your drumming man! Hope to see you here in Chile.
YES. Oh god, this is exactly what I needed after having a shit week. One of my favorite drummers playing over my favorite musician overall. Fuckin cheers man this is top notch
That ride crash on the upbeat around 0:53 was SO. COOL.
0:50 is musical as hell. Keep it up
How do you record your drums? Sounds so good and organic, is it just a single microphone?
He has a QA video where he confirmst it's just a zoom recorder or something. Might have changed things up later, but I'm pretty sure it was that around this time.
For all intents and purposes, I consider this the definitive version of this song
You are very good at playing on the drums.
You both compliment each other amazingly, well done man.
Damn, that fills at 1:54 are delicious! Great work, Love your implementation of the syncopation!

I really had my doubts about this. But wow! It takes guts to even atempt to keep up with JC. You showed not only guts but great talent and discipline. Bravo Sir.
The definitive way to listen to this song. Absolutely banger my dude.
I still come back to this multiple times a week.
I was brought here through the original Jacob Collier video and was a bit sceptical when I read the title. But what you add to the insane perdormance is just wow. As if you were meant for playing together. Your version is my new favorite.
Oh man would love to see you and Jacob Collier get together and jam. Both of you are so good.
That was insane how you managed all the layered syncopation perfectly. Incredible work
I’ve always wondered how much better this song would’ve been with drums. Thank you.
This is great! Thanks! Hints of Bruford...
How you two haven't actually played together live is crazy! It needs to happen!
I suddenly have the Urge to build a City and manage its Problems
Yes, but also, what?
You are a monster on the drums. This is incredible and deserves to be seen more
Thanks for finding all the things we never knew needed drums and adding drums. Life needs more drums
Please tour with Jacob Collier. Everybody will be at all your shows always
Man, this is the most musical and lyrical drumming I've heard since Ari Hoenig
Bro your gift is seriously heavenly, thank you for doing what you do David!!
Bro your feel and creativity are a blessing. Too many drummers over-focusing on tech stuff and forgetting what makes playing so much fun.
This is the best coming together of piano and drums I've ever heard.
You do not play the drum, you enjoy the music.
Beautiful, i can hear you trought the drum.
i absolutely delighted to see such perfect timing gained from hours of practice. Amazing
Literally discovered Collier today, cool music, seeing you cover it however, made me very happy. Keep up the stellar work!
Still come back to this, awesome!
a channel that likes memes, video game music, and Jacob Collier?
Ok. I'm in.
The style matches up so nicely
it's amazing how i can hear both the rhythm from the original song and from jacob's recreation in your drums
I keep returning to this one 👍🏼
This guy is the spitting definition of hope for humanity
Maaaaaaan, some parts of these are ABSOLUTELY GOLDEN.
Killer work, man. Definitely a fan of your playing.
everything you do on drums is killer, the definition of pocket, oh my god
It can’t be easy to keep up with Collier but you are seamless. I can’t get enough!!!
Dude, this is maddening. Just excellent, 10/10.~
As if Jacob's incredible performance wasn't enough, enter David. I have no words, other than let me pick my jaw up off the floor. Completely insane! Loved this!
not sure if I'm more impressed with how you do it, or what you do... truly amazing stuff, such good taste, everything sounds as if there's no better way to do it.
Perfect!
GEEZ dude! Your feel is incredible. Composition is perfect. Well done, well played. I hope Jacob sees this.
Great. You re a great drum player. Collier is a genius. I hope you will play live with him.
Really good groove. I love the groove at 4.31. At the beginning... well I'm dancing with it🙂
Incredible how much good stuff is in there
So much talent in this video, I keep coming back to listen
damnit im back to this again oughhh this is really my favorite vid of yours, it's my dopamine source
Jokes aside, this is amazing, love the syncopated grooves, so tasteful
I was listening to the original and thinking this just needs some groovy drums and bass. Then I saw this thumbnail and I can say that we are very satisfactorily half way there.
This is incredible, couldn't even imagine a better pairing. And that sneaky ride crash you do at 0:53 is glorious
From drummer to another you’re a god
Your drumming is so satisfying and accurate
Heard the original version. Then I heard this. Wow - fantastic accompaniment!!!
Legend said it's Matt Gartska whom a metronome had to keep in time..
*..but I guess the legend was totally wrong, because actually the time itself has to keep in time with this man.. A drummer, an unsung hero!*
I really love this jam.
Damn that transition to 7/8 was so tight
this is something i didnt know i wanted so badly but felt so satisfied upon seeing in my notifications
I wish I could like this video multiple times.... so freaking wonderful.
He’s got that Larnell Lewis drum feel 100% 🤙
I'm sure the people who disliked this video have their reasons. Doesn't mean they are right. Dem rhythms!!!
I keep coming back for this
Back again! One of many times
Just ooone more time
Yeah
Rhythm and algorithms in all their syncopy!
back!
Good stuff. Dynamics. Intuition. Sensibility. It walks and breathes!
whenever i think about Jacob Collier i am filled with primal rage
I'm disappointed upon returning to this fantastic video for the umpteenth time that I've already exhausted my thumbs-up supply.
The way he slams those bass notes at 1:23 gets me aroused.
Oh my
totally man
its just a piano
Wait...Does he even touch them? No, he doesn't touch them at all
that was awesome. gives it a different feel. second chorus admittedly is pretty hard and it's hard to project structure there, but you still hit it out of the ballpark.
Musically X1000 well done!! You’ve outdone yourself 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
you have been one of my favorite channels, im happy youre not stopping its so good getting a new vid popping out once in a while!
alright, time for you guys to meet and kill it. you are an insanely good drummer; your reading of Collier's music is on point!
Your drumming fits so well with Jacob’s style it’s incredible!!
I just started laughing half way through this. Insane precision, I love this so much.
