[@stlheavyboi]

djazz is the future

[@NUBCAKE101]

as much as I enjoy this song, my soul yearns for more ghost notes

[@vazultasi9617]

Alex Ford Well, there has just been a cover uploaded with Gergő Borlai playing... check that out, satisfaction guaranteed ;)

[@Shitockiful]

Sometimes listening is more important than filling in. Though now even I find my self filling in when I play this...

[@grantkirkpatrick9886]

So deep in the pocket he's found $20 in change

[@kentosalazar]

[@enijize1234]

So deep in the pocket he's under the sofa

[@diafenix]

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THAT GODLY KICK FOOT WORK?!

[@dominikn19]

GODLY.

[@JarredWilliams23]

I'm seriously digging this double crash for hi hats setup!

[@S1ckbassplayer]

Old school Queens of the Stone Age used to do it as a rule. Crashes as hats only and rides as crashes.

[@ATMOSPHRS]

That beginning sounds like piano djent... haha. Respect for the dude. Solid playing!!

[@TheVashnessItself99]

+ATMOSPHERES pretty sure this is tigran's live drummer

[@Drums4Life762]

+Octavian Malcolm and studio for mockroot

[@booter5956]

[@8020drummer]

"Are you not Entertained!?!?" ;);)

[@justinrensel8518]

Underrated comment!

[@amyo]

Justin rensel I agree!!!!

[@bartuyavuz963]

Man. I'm fall in love with these cymbals. And the song was just amazing.

[@clems6belio]

Still coming back to this after 6 years. See you next year.

[@binzianer]

Loving it, that groove! Jazz-metal is born

[@traindiesel7005]

my man looks so happy during the sections when he doesn't have to play 4/4 with hands and can go off a bit flex his massive chops hahaha do that shit mannnn! respect:)

[@fofopho]

Tigran Is a beast. And I’m telling my son, Arthur that he is named after this guy when he gets older.

[@spoonermcgee]

Oh man, makes my body tingle. This rhythm is amazing

[@tiaraguy7705]

Heard this for the first time this morning and all I could of was Periphery and Animals As Leaders and I love it

[@MrSphinxster]

Arthur reminds me of a modern Bill Bruford. Great with the polyrythms and odd time signatures, but it's that economical touch as well.

[@PetrKnyaz0]

My favorite song from Tigran! Love it! Great drumming!

[@BenedictusEsDomine]

Perfectly orchestrated and played

[@christroy3717]

What's this music genre called Djazz? Love it, great playing Arthur!

Middle Eastern Jazz Fusion

[@seththehobbit2066]

Actually. This is jazz. Tigran Hamasyan(the pianist) is from Armenia. This is how u play jazz in 4/4 time signature(tempo). Most of djent/progressive bands using this beat

[@JColedrumzz]

That stack is deadly!!!

[@Drums4Life762]

Amazing. Def one of the best and one of my favorites

[@TheAsaSan]

dumkit sounds amazing

[@MaydupNem]

[@michalina_malisz]

WOOOOOOW MAAAAAN. Hits me hard.

[@jazzercaster4749]

Yeah this is Djazz now, welcome to the new world

[@paulmalherbe5158]

[@y480i]

Tigran Hamasyan is a genius.

[@LucasDrums]

[@JarahOnDrums]

[@rileymoore8364]

Amazing.

[@baptistewxpolpodcast3339]

Thank you ! I'm more than entertained !

[@EloyUnder]

amazing set!

[@Smoxie804]

still some sexy cymbals

[@synthguy7774]

In what time signature? *Yes*

[@julianmitchell3035]

Tigran Hamasyan music is like Coltrane changes for rhythm.

[@Panupanplaydrums]

By hearing the groove. I feel my right leg is being separated away, far more away lol

[@Payte]

Ahhhh that trash cymbal is perfect

[@bornindissonance]

LOVE THIS

[@kwinkzpower]

3.03... Love that switch up

[@enijize1234]

Artie Hnatek youre a savage

[@fuzzyplops6164]

Brilliant

[@afxmnstr]

Djazz can't be unheard.

[@TheUmart]

awesome.

[@krisnadexter]

How do I headbang on this

[@jacobwright4653]

@Krisna Dexter many have tried. Many have failed

[@jayc8503]

You can simply headbang in 4/4 with the cymbal or you can follow the kick drum pattern. The kick drum pattern is every 5 sixteenth notes kick once for 4 times then every 3 sixteenth notes kick for 5 times and the whole thing repeat.

[@Ajoi1995]

@@jayc8503 its rarely to find someone who play dota love polyrhtym. *fist bump!

[@jayc8503]

[@KingSolomonJedidiah]

​@@Ajoi1995may I join for a triple fist bump after 4 years?

[@nivedrajaraman9728]

Fantastic song! all kudos to Arthur and his band for the great music they write! P.S. The main riff sounds a lot like "Initiate" by Haken don't you think?

[@DrTacoPHD665]

It's taken me 4 years to find out what I connected it to.

[@db1815]

Fantastic such a great track, would it btw be possible to somehow get the drum stems for personal use?

[@kendrickfoo7403]

We have witnessed the marriage of pop metal fusion in babymetal... Tigran now marries jazz and metal ggwp

[@serengil]

Drum N Piano have never been that metal!

[@Sevaniod]

Очень круто!)

[@tomasmadlenak3396]

Can i have the backtrack please?! Thanks

[@drumforyou87]

I thought this guy was Richard Spaven. they look a lot alike and both are phenomenal drummers.

[@berkayd1055]

please spotify link ? :(

[@TheJanvicgwaps]

What Genre is he in?

[@Drums4Life762]

All at once. His middle name is genre

[@meinlcymbals]

+Vol deMort Tigran Hamasyan's music is technically considered "Jazz." However, there are also elements of prog-rock, prog-metal, djent and even some of Tigran Hamasyan's upbringing of Middle Eastern music as well.

[@combatwombatt]

+MEINL Cymbals so cool to see such an official account use the word djent lol.

[@ERRORRubiksZeraBrand]

Good ol' 256/17

[@UnnecessaryComment.]

Time signature? Go!

[@briefs9379]

35/16 apparently

[@sklakoo]

Aaaas that why ! The fucking snare sounds is ghostly is un stretched!

[@kezman74]

+MEINL Cymbals TAKE MY MONEY!!! Seriously though, how do you pronounce Meinl?

[@seemsfamiliar]

Awesome

[@andyplexus365]

whats uh.. whats goin on with that snare head?

[@Joesfosterdogs]

one word: POCKET

[@clever8088]

What is the time signature of this song?

[@michaelcorboz8194]

35/16 and I'm not kidding... This guy is nuts

[@clever8088]

wut.... thats crazy

[@coreyfulify]

First part of the riff is a 4:5 on the quarter note (or "crotchet" if you're British) = 20 16th notes; Second part is a 4:3 on the quarter note + one extra dotted 8th note = 15 16th notes, for a total of 35/16 (as Michael said) BUT He keeps the cymbals/snare going in a standard half time feel (basically 4/4), juxtaposing a solid groove against the shifting polyrhythms. They truncate the riff on the 8th rep to get the two cycles back together. I think the breakdown part is bit different but there's a similar juxtaposition happening. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

[@clever8088]

ty

[@clever8088]

In the schools practice rooms transcribing it rn lol

[@waltzguy14151]

I hate this guy he’s so fucking good argh

[@murkymurk8305]

Love Arthur Hnatek except for his choice in clothing lol.

[@bleighhh]

I want a baby from entertain me and physical education by aal

[@CharlieLord]

Ahhh, that explains the horrid snare sound: Masshoff technique in effect ;) Great player and lovely cymbals though :)

[@danielschroder6678]

+Charlie Lord I wish he never came out with that method... from now on, we will have to cope with so many dead and boring sounding snare drums...

[@SylarTheBest]

Charlie Lord how do you know he's using that technique? Besides, I've never tried it but was think of doing it, is it that bad? Seems pretty cool

[@CharlieLord]

Certain angles (e.g. 0:23) you can see the wrinkles at the bottom due to the shadows :) Not necessarily, but it seems to mostly be used to suck the life out of your snare drum, making it sound like any other (when done well), or just sound like ass (which is all I've managed trying it on any of mine). I can't imagine uneven tension like that is particularly good for the life of the head or shell, either. :)

[@zackdoom]

Djent is pretty shit tbh this aint too bad

[@sethkukel229]

+zackdoom It's fusion jazz?

[@zackdoom]

seth kukel yeah Fusion between jazz and Djent Djazz

[@OuroborosWorm]

Yes, it's fusion jazz.

[@OutlawStarkiller]

all the comments are so cringeworthy
