Ari Hoenig "Arrows and Loops" Live on Soundcheck

[@ArtDrumz]

Holy shit. It must be fun to be that good at the drums and the guitar and bass.

[@Frank1979Zappa]

Arthur Garwood Delahooke Depends on you.... Play something more simple and have fun, too.

[@theclash435]

These guys play at this level because there emotions required this nuance. But everyone has there own sentiment, and fucking a man, it must be hell of fun to play this good and tight.

[@jrobinsondrums]

@@theclash435 Fucking a man, amen

[@pws18]

@@theclash435 that's really interesting, I've never heard anyone say anything like that before. unique way to think about it

[@teofurlanetto1686]

It totally looks so

[@toughlikerocks]

What I love about Ari is being able to watch him refine his style over the years. I've been listening to him since I was a teenager, and it seems to me that he has slowly but surely refined his style- making it more controlled, precise, and sophisticated, without ever losing that crazy spastic wildness thats always made him so fun to watch and listen to. A true beginners mind.

[@Fresh_I.S.C.]

ari is no joke bro.

[@ccase2k]

Ari is a complete freak! How in the hell is he hitting all of those notes with such grace?

[@tanyirop6252]

the drum guys face tho :'o and the guitar guy also omg best thing ever

[@jdsmuth]

Best Metal face belongs to a Jazz Drummer

[@Hontonoki]

the stank face is strong with this one! phenomenal playing.

[@shapen360]

I have listened to this song 100 times and I've played drums for 10 years and I will never be this confident in 11/8 ever.

[@Darko1.0]

Yes, you will.

[@NouveauNick]

OMG that ending is so SICK.

[@Hakulanni]

Jeff Hamilton is my perfect Model for a Drummer. I'll bet anything Ari is a huge Admirer/Fan. It's such a pleasure to discover this rare talent. Ari, you're absolutely one of the best Drummers I have ever heard. Harmony and Syncopation all in one player? Hey i'm in. Let's hear more!

[@benchinho]

my thoughts exactly... wonderful touch and every hit has the right amount of volume... fantastic...

[@NicklasJazzström]

Astonishing Ari

[@thedeservingmany]

First off, Hoenig can swing (and does, see his arrangements of "Moanin'," "The Way You Look Tonight,"and his original "Birdless."). In fact, he can swing better than a lot of drummers who actually restrict themselves to pure bop playing. Hoenig explores other styles, and indeed, he doesn't always swing in those styles. That doesn't mean "it's all for nothing", it just means he has different goals for his music. I for one am glad he's pushing musical boundaries rather than only focusing on swing.

[@Koropokel]

swing is a cliché of jazz. look at guiliana, nate smith, nate wood, brian blade, jojo meyer, benny greb, matt garstka and basically every famous modern drummer of the last 10 years, they all play mostly straight.

[@Koropokel]

Oh and don't forget Chris Daddy Dave, basically since Herbie Hancock Jazz has been getting more and more straight.

[@andrewmilbankdrums]

This is great, looks like theyre having so much fun

[@seanmarkeymusic]

What an awesome performance!

[@savewaytoexplore]

this was amazing

[@jedo210]

thats the look of a seriously happy and capable drummer doing his thing..

[@cordomum]

I keep coming back to this live recording, but I wish the drum cameras weren't SOOOOO off time. Ari hits a cymbal and I only hear the sound 3 seconds afterwards. The guys are doing such a great job on this song, and I want the recording to show that. The visuals for the drums are simply off-time for the first 2 or 3 minutes. After that, it syncs up.

[@mattdeluca99]

Oh man! I thought I was the only driven nuts by that!

[@cordomum]

@@mattdeluca99Yep! And even though I SAID it eventually syncs up, it never does LOL.

[@funkydrummer94]

the head is in 11/16 , you can count it like one bar of 3/16 and then just a bar of 4/8 "123 1 2 3 4" That time sig continues throughout the whole solo sections and the little parts in between the head. The slower section alternates between 5/4 and 6/4,

[@331paradiddle]

@Sandemose Thank you, excellant musicians

[@NyJazzGuit]

Amazing, as always!

[@odaydrums]

my vid was out of snyc now i really feel the vibe!

[@dogmart]

Speechless. Amazing.

[@espritarie]

..beautiful drumming.. ;-)

[@alejacome356]

they should make an album

[@nebbykoo]

It would be so much better if the video and sound were synced.

[@jamesrivas6394]

They are synced up you have to really watch the drummers hands.

[@constantinezh7156]

@@jamesrivas6394 Lol, no they're not synced, there's at least half a second delay, buddy. Don't fool yourself.

[@VansSk8r990]

yeah it’s horrendous

[@BlueGamesInc]

@@constantinezh7156 Eh there are some clips that are clearly out of sync, but most of it is pretty fine, maybe the video is a little late by a few milliseconds but not much for the majority of it

[@NathanFiorentino]

@@jamesrivas6394 at 1:04 they literally used the wrong video clip lol

[@winnijazz]

Sensationell!! I heard you guys at Northea jazz in Rotterdam in 2009,very impressive. I love this video.Beautiful playing,fine composition,very good sound and picture Hope to see and hear you again at North sea jazz perhaps in 2012??

[@mlejazz]

beautiful !!

[@pablogonzalez11]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JB5D]

That ride!

[@pratansraploy]

Thank you . ^_^

[@phillredfox]

What ride is he playing there...giving me goosebumps!

[@batakamx]

1:03 BAD EDITING ari is playin something else

[@ZionGuySupreme]

I must learn his lick from 3:27! I hear this lick in Birdless and his other live performances

[@eliasafediasdesouza]

ui que beleza de som!!! emocionante!!!

0:01 to 0:10

[@Urdatorn]

Sick!!!

[@mchlshanks00]

A wizard!!!

[@alanduncan1980]

Yeah, keep that going. That's the sh*t right there. You're doin' it!

[@decadyne]

@tcslick420 Aside from a sort of faint general resemblance, it's also interesting that they play in similar way. They both seem to have similar stick technique.

[@efilperpenfuhrer]

wow

[@yarpyarp85]

5:28 staring into my soul

[@Brunototguitar]

WORD.

[@nbarabolia]

Suuper💪

[@blapis89]

he reminds me of keith karlock, how he moves and facial expressions

[@eliasafediasdesouza]

maravilhoso

[@Curley218]

It should be a Meinl Dragon Ride. Sounds great, and sadly enough they don't make them anymore. Stopped sometime during the 80's I think?

[@andrepintoferreira]

what cymbals is he using? one is the 22 left side ride, and the other? anyone?

[@olneyfig]

Muito bom!

[@331paradiddle]

who is on guitar, is that Kurt Rosenwinkel. Also who is bass player. This is absolutely beautiful playing. Everybody listening so well.

[@jasper36]

JEEEEEZ

[@JB5D]

oh yah!

[@Etwizzy99]

@decadyne They both studied at North Texas w/ Ed Soph... that's the reason haha. Carlock turned to Rock/Funk while Ari stuck to a more traditional jazz style representative of Soph's work.

[@kevinmoabpachecosegura2298]

fucking awesome dudeeeee!!,

[@FelipeCotta]

This video is so awesome! It influenced me so much! Ari is on fire!🔥🔥🔥

[@Sandemose]

@331paradiddle its Gilad Hekselman not Kurt Rosenwinkel.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

pffhhhhh - hammerhart !!!!

[@jdsmuth]

AAAAAAHHHH Damn!

[@Speshoholic]

Where's a working link? Who else is playing?

[@Spisdild]

Does anybody know what ride he uses in this video?

[@ctdjazz]

@timh7403 Makes sense since they went to the same college. Love both of those drummers but I have to say I prefer Ari's vocabulary.

[@decadyne]

@Etwizzy99 Wow, that's interesting, actually. Thanks for the info!

[@pratansraploy]

What is '' Time Signature'' of Arrows and Loops????

[@milesstoned5139]

2:45 - 2:50 that fking frase Ari...

[@srgregorio1]

0:37 can anyone explain those 3 snare hits ?

[@SmallStamp]

+sr_gregorio I believe you're referring to the stick shots? That's something Ari likes to do. Essentially, his left hand is resting the stick against the head, while his right stick strikes the left one. It results in a higher pitched "pop" than a normal stroke, while being a bit more tame than a traditional rim shot.

[@srgregorio1]

+Cameron LeCrone excuse my english, yeah Im refering to the stick shots. Thanks, I get confused when saw ir for the first time. Now I can see it.

[@SmallStamp]

+sr_gregorio No problem!

[@time_371]

Probably because the audio and video are a bit out of sync on drums.

[@Nicool333]

Video is out of sync

[@davestrawn6198]

So what you are saying, is because you dont dig the approach he's going for, that must mean fundamentally he's doing something wrong and it's not that you're level of perception that needs looking at. Yeah. Right.

[@CarlosHerrand]

I wish I could understand what's happening here :-(, nonetheless it doesn't stop me for enjoying it!
