"As One"

[@FahlmanCascade]

The composition is nifty, but the performance really makes this. I'm astonished that this is just two performers, and their shared sense of timing is incredible.

[@evanbookout]

John Ladasky it is called “as one”

[@captainkiwi77]

John Ladasky kinda the point of a percussion duo, specially for a duet titled “as one”

[@jada90]

The composition is what makes the performance lol. Like yeah, they performed it beautifully, but anyone performing the composition correctly would do the same. Not saying it's easy I just think it's funny you value the performance over the composition.

[@ArnaudCDLC]

What about the composition ? It's a percussion piece and you can reduce the most important to 5 or 6 : Rebounds, Ionisation, Les Guetteurs de son, …they do a real job, of amazing taste…and the As One title is enough to understand the composition, no ?

In high school I had the amazing and wonderful privilege to play with some of the most talented percussionists I have ever known. This reminds of the many times watching in awe of their artistry. Thanks for the memories. You all know who you are.

Marvellous performance by two REAL Drummers. Impeccable timing together, great tempos, and excellent work moving in and out of different time signatures. Wonderful. Thank you.

[@gusjohnnson9641]

After only 20 years of practice, these two percussionists finally preformed their piece.

[@justnoahherehello]

The level of coordination, concentration, and timing you would need for this is insane

[@chief9626]

People, this are individuals who worked their life for such talent. This is pure musicianship.

[@zacharywilliams2]

The fact that there is no metronome going is just showing how solid their timing really is.

Fantastically musical, not just a showpiece. Loved the dynamics and pacing of the whole thing.

[@Flight_of_focus]

I have to watch it again. The only thing i could hear the first time was the sound of my brain melting in astonishment

[@bertberw8653]

Every single time I went through this piece I found something new that had been overlooked in the previous run. Every time my brain melts and I have to come back to it and give it yet another listen.

[@bidibum]

This is the most King Crimson thing I've ever listened to

[@marSLaZZ66]

Zappa too!

[@kumoyuki]

I was having exactly the same thoughts as both of you :) Then the mind naturally strays to what if...Bruford and Bozzio set out to play this piece...and then how would they alter it given electronic percussion &cet...and then...just listen to it again

[@zacharymorin5696]

bidibum I was thinking the exact same thing. Sounds like Drumsons

[@mal2ksc]

I was thinking more of Carl Palmer (ELP) but there's some overlap there because of Greg Lake's time with Fripp.

[@marimbalick8163]

"I've got and idea," said Gene Koshinski, while drunk from vodka, "How about I have two people splitting one thing on one hand and split a completely different thing on another hand?" Gene twiddled his thumbs and began envisioning his new piece that would be called As One.

[@azilegloria9563]

For all of you who do not know this, you can right click the play button and then click "loop" for it to replay as soon as it is over. Do this with all your favs that are short so you do not have too go back to your device to click it again. Also, if you never want ads on your YT or web pages, I have been using ad blocker plus for years and its free and awesome. I have seen comments where they say you can scroll the video to the end, then click play and the ads are not there; not sure as I dont have to do that. Love and Peace to all Lifeforms. Love Chris
