Crazy good solo drummer. I could sit and enjoy all day

[@sjeessjees]

I'ts not just the drumming. It's his complex brilliant composing mind. every hit is pure purpose. Assaf, mbf......

[@mancini2468]

Take it for what it is. You're comparing this to something or someone else, don't do it. He's an amazing talent.

[@phillip_costovski]

Those 2002s sound as amazing as his playing. Keep inspiring us to reach higher levels with our playing, Assaf

[@oh_rhythm]

dude, the fact that his technique is perfect doesn't make him a robot. it just makes him really really good!

[@555King666King777]

Assaf!!!! Your too good man...i can't believe how crazy you are, soo unique man...soo good

[@dbutcher84]

I've seen his other videos and when he plays, he uses way more fingers than wrist or arm, and he's crazy good at it. I wish I was that developed with my fingers, it would open up a whole new world.

[@geevow]

Im a drummer too, and after seeing this i want to play the hell out of my drums... but its midnight, damn

[@goofayoo]

I'm amazed at how fluid he sounds, but it LOOKS like his grip is so ridged.. Awesome player for sure!

[@corpushorus]

FANTASTIC

[@JohnCrichton]

man this guy is amazing drummerfreak. his hand to hand coordination is amazing, and timing/rhythm/tequnique all has technicality to it that cant be compared to any other drummer. hes on point.

[@JohnCrichton]

wow.... I have cancer now lmao I was 20 then and now I'm 33. That was the year I poisoned myself...

[@StrikeTeamIJayPIMP]

he's awesome!

[@OsKuukkeli]

My favourite drummer. My god he's awesome! Dunno if he's the best, but he's really damn close!

[@RodrigoVzq]

I want more videos of this guy

[@magicdrummer411]

sweet...this guy is great..

[@McJohnGr]

Pissed my pants laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mminjarez]

I am a big fan of Assef's drumming...but i would like to see more of him using this stuff in a band setting. Especially the electronica type riffs he has.

[@danielroik6065]

He Sounds Awesome . Because he come from the UK. The same Drummer that has the Drum Machine Project, Drum the World.

[@chrisbr69]

amazing!!!!

[@22mjsoccer]

this guy is alsome! one of the best drummer i have hered.(and john bonham) but there both realy gooood......sooo good. ( as a drummer my self ) :)

[@fnkdrmmr]

To Jezzibrum: what Assaf Seewi is doing at 2:03 is an old Jazz drumming trick - Big Band drummers did all the time. I've seen Papa Jo Jones, Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson and others do it. If you search Gerald Heywood (drummer for Mary J. Blige) you will see him doing it.

[@MrApril1995]

assaf is the best drummer

[@GRILLBUOY101]

people say dumb stuff this guy is talent .

[@THETWINBROTHERS]

Great drumming! One drumset, two drummers! See it on THE TWIN CHANNEL!!

[@Kean4000]

Greatest drummer I have seen. Even better than Boddy Rich!

[@SuperChuck3]

Almost every possible beat has been written out and played, but that's technically. The same beat can be felt an infinite number of ways!

[@danielroik6065]

He sound's Good :-).

[@JVA90]

dude, I was totally thinking the same way

[@theswizzler]

I don't think it's a cocky smirk..it seems to me it's just the satisfaction he gets out of getting into a really cool groove---which is something he does quite often because of how good he is and how much he practices. Hell, I do that sometimes when I perform, too.

[@anarchxxx]

his fills r pretty cool

[@Losetheshugah]

This guy is so good cause of his ingenuity.. brings art to the drums cause its about original beats rhythm and control.. not how fast he can bang his drums. If you say he sucks cause you can do this.. gurantee ya can't.. even if copied to the tee.. you have not accomplished this.. just copied. Post vids of you dropping originals on par with this if you want to talk.

[@MelancholyWithin]

@SuperChuck3 True. Still, modern technique is still producing new talent and new beats. Thankfully, Music will never die. Like you say, technicality means nothing without rythm and feeling.

[@MegaRenato666]

HE IS PLAYING WITH GIANT PENCILS!

[@DAVIZAO12]

I wonder how he plays with a band? that's when you know how good a drummer really is.

[@roki92]

true....

[@OldSchool9690]

Latin Percussion Aspire(4 and 5/8")[that one is the right one for the high note no doubt.] Hell I can't find the name of the other one. It has an advanced mount on it where a small bar/plate slides up and has a nob and a tuner screw(that fits a drum key)It has the right note but it's too dull, because it's a cha cha bell.

[@drummerboy81794]

Haa. I can play the same cowbell beat. But it was AwEsOmE

[@Chasela511]

I too would like to know.

[@heydenlabelle777]

He has them colored so the audience can see the sticks easier. His "thing" is tricks and spins.

[@DanielLandwehr]

I personally get bored of all the fast busy beats. He's good no doubt but I would love to hear a slow yet complicated cool groove from this guy...cause you know he can do it

[@OldSchool9690]

I just got two cowbells, they have the right notes but one is a cha cha so it's real dull and has the wrong pitch. The only way really to find out is to go to the store and try out the cowbells. Man he does amazing on that beat though how he plays the hats and snare with one hand, he's so smooth.

[@drummerboy7227]

ye they look so nice!! but wat country a u from cos in england their quite alot. but then i have never heard then so good luck!!!

[@Stu-Vino]

MORE COWBELL!

[@Crimson126]

fuckin nice

[@JoelKinsley22]

i think i will take up a new hobby after seeing that... ...maybe fishing

[@ThemLizards]

Check out Vadrum

[@rbirrell]

this guy is class. hes doing a drum solo,so you`d expect a bit of showing off? this guy is exceptional, i`ve never heard anything like that before, describing this guys performance as " like a circus act " is maybe a bit disrespectful?

[@punchpringle1]

is this guy strictly play solos or is there any band footage?

[@paulwall1981]

Are those sticks yellow and if they are what make and model are they?

[@McJohnGr]

They are not profesionally recorded.They still sound awesome.

[@wherespookie1]

Haha just imagine Seewi playing deathmetal

[@konarider]

Because people see Travis Barker, people say he`s the best in the world (he`s obviously not) and people just assume he`s the best and don`t do research.

[@zamieh]

neil peart*

[@Arbalesto]

Is that even possible with 2 arms?

[@d3Lberto]

I agree its not his best video...

[@Chasela511]

Which ones did you get?

[@maidenfan10210]

lol baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad choice dude in my opinion

[@im2sexybub]

a.d.d. haha jk your awesome dude haha

[@dyingtoliveRWTF]

why does he use those yellow ass sticks lol?

[@pyromike24]

you dont see other people doing the tricks he does because they cant...

[@Dickoz0r]

I wonder if he was self taught.

[@Robdrummer93]

Because he hooked up with the right people and got lucky, The Aquabats were on Blink's tour and Travis got along with Mark and Tom. The Music business is more often than not who you know rather than what you know, maybe Assaf doesn't have as much personality? Visually his drumming would suggest that, people go to rock shows to watch people rock and I wouldn't want to see this guy behind a kit trying to show off.

[@CHEAPTHRILLONTHETUBE]

If a person must play an instrument without exhibiting any enjoyment while they are playing, then why play at all?

[@zakkydude654]

what the fuck....ive been playing for 7 years and i think i know my drums..... and im not shit..... and im 14

[@mlkoi9]

he's good but he needs to get more drums so he can do more like terry bozzio or neil peart

[@phaneufa]

Dude, drumming is drumming, simple. You dont need to be good to play them. Lars Ulrich is a good drummer jsut doesnt show it to the best of his abilities

[@benhhx]

great tricks but he's not tight,his groove isnt solid.

[@OliverPatrickLoughnan]

hold on . he is good but not up there with any of the best. the tricks are good but the drumming is kinda repetitive, and messy

[@bustamove196]

for some reason, his skill is at first astounding, and yet boring and anti musical. where's the soul and groove?

[@domdomdrumdrum]

terry bozzio....haha...ha....ha....that guy hasnt played real drums in years

[@d3Lberto]

C'mon... he's good but not *that* good!

[@jj9222]

Haha...Douche... He could probably in any band that needs a drummer with the flick of a drumstick, Though he doesn't need a band to sound good. You probably think LARS is the best thing there is. Newsflash buddy.. Lars is one of the worst drummmers if not the worst drummer compared to his status. He is just good at doing some double bass from time to time, and keeping a steady rhythm thats all. There's nothing else to metallica..

[@starshipvelcrp]

far from classic punk rock

[@drummingsebber]

lol this guy could have been the best drummer in the world if he just practiced drumming instead of that stupid juggling shit...
